Again, I’m not a fan of this look. It’s a bit secretarial for me.

Bloominglovely · 04/12/2018 15:42

The skirt is a welcome change from the above the knee dresses that look fairly ridiculous on her. I’m not a fan of the boots but most footwear would be difficult with that skirt. And the top is too fussy with the buttons, it would have looked elegant if it was plain and simple as the skirt has enough going on. Other than that she looked fine Smile

ajandjjmum · 04/12/2018 15:46

I think she looks great!

SenecaFalls · 04/12/2018 15:48

I love the skirt. She looks great.

mrscampbellblackreturns · 04/12/2018 15:49

I love the outfit and the boots!

princessbear80 · 04/12/2018 16:38

Refreshing change of style from Kate. But the boots don’t work, agree with PPs.

MotherofPearl · 04/12/2018 16:38

I'm a big fan of the outfit, skirt and all!

owlshooting · 04/12/2018 16:39

I am not keen on that skirt at all. She does look great, but the skirt looks very dated. Also, it's December!! Why are they not wearing coats?
I think Meghan and Harry are attending a charity event this evening?

QueenOfTheAndals · 04/12/2018 16:41

@owlshooting Harry is attending a charity performance of the Meatloaf musical(!) either tonight or tomorrow night but from what I read, Meghan isn't joining him. Given the way the press have gone for her in the past couple of weeks I wouldn't blame her for wanting to hide in bed for a while!

William and Kate have the Diplomatic Reception this evening so we should get a tiara shot at least.

Kate looks good - the skirt looks more modern than the usual on the knee which is a bit dated now. I also have total hair envy Smile

orangecushion · 04/12/2018 17:21

She looks nice and smiley but wow, she's very slim.

AdaColeman · 04/12/2018 17:30

Kate looks lovely today, fantastic smile as always!

DontCallMeCharlotte · 04/12/2018 17:31

Again, I’m not a fan of this look. It’s a bit secretarial for me.

Which would explain why I'm dressed very similarly today (although not tartan).

Checks out Wessex job advert...

IPromiseIWontBeNaughty · 04/12/2018 17:34

Love the look on Kate.

TinselBeakerSoChristmas · 04/12/2018 17:48

Kate always has a lovely smile, lights up her whole face.
Meghan does too.

LittleLlamaontheduskyroad · 04/12/2018 17:49

I love her outfit. I like the boots and skirt together. It looks retro, in a good way.

megletthesecond · 04/12/2018 17:56

I always wonder what thermals they layer up with.
I know they're meant to be stiff upper lip about things but The DofC must have some warm socks under those boots.

Alwayscheerful · 04/12/2018 17:59

I like the longer length skirt.
A plain sweater would have looked better, I agree the buttons are too fussy. what footwear would you choose?

user1457017537 · 04/12/2018 18:00

I think those of us who are not a fan of the look are like me and remember it the first time around Smile

WipsGlitter · 04/12/2018 18:09

Love the look but she is very slim and there's no way those pieces are worth those prices £1500 for a skirt is a scandal.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 04/12/2018 18:09

Love this photo of the 2 of them. You can totally see them being together till they are 90.

Can someone explain to me the success of Emilia Wickstead please? Everything is oversized and old fashioned.

I don't mind this look cos K paired it with a skinny jumper but imagine it with anything else? Frump city.

Give me euro-fave Natan any day (shudder) over Emilia Wickstead.

QueenOfTheAndals · 04/12/2018 18:22

@user1457017537 I wasn't around the first time but have seen photos of princess Anne and HM wearing similar in the 70s and 80s!

That photo Curly

They adore each other!

BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 04/12/2018 18:39

Loving Kate’s outfit today I think she’s nailed it.
