Completely missed the ball with the previous thread so hope this thread is easy enough to find!

Agree with the show too but I don’t really think she chose that colour so as not to take from the event. I think she just isn’t very stylish. But I think the dress is great on her.

FrugalityKitty What IG a/c do you follow for Leti’s clothes? There are so many of them, I can’t see her blouse in any of the ones I’m following? Thank you.

  • shoe not show!

Will's suit is actually quite tailored for him. Looks swish. It also look like her has a hole in the bottom of his shoe!

Just been looking at the Gianvito Rossi website at shoes - they do a pair that are similar if not identical to the ones she had one in a yellow ochre colour. They would have lifted that without being too neon or ott.

However, that's only a person opinion, and you could argue that she doesn't want to draw too much attention to being a clothes horse and away from the causes she's there to promote and so keeps it conservative with her choices - which is fair enough.

The dress is made by a charity that supports abused women. It's rather uninspiring, but everything looks great on her!

DobbyTheHouseElk · 22/01/2019 16:26

My hair is getting redder and redder too.......

DontCallMeCharlotte · 22/01/2019 17:02

Bleugh to the olive colour (really really don't like olive) but love love love the original pink one - that is gorgeous (if a bit weddingy to be workaday).

DontCallMeCharlotte · 22/01/2019 17:03

Oh and I see they do a floral one (for Mette-Marit) and a navy one for Meghan (and me). Even better.

hopeishere · 22/01/2019 17:06

I agree it's a lovely dress but the bag and shoes are too matchy.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 22/01/2019 17:23

Letizia in Hugo Boss shirt and a Spanish skirt.
With Felipe in a tail coat ( looking incredibly dashing btw) i feel like Letizia should be wearing a brooch or a choker as the whole look to me is very Edwardian and appears to have something missing.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 22/01/2019 17:25

Yes agree the pink was gorgeous and could see Meghan in the navy.
I liked Kate’s crocodile belt, but it’s the second time the olive shoes have been worn with a green dress and jarred.

mikado1 · 22/01/2019 17:28

I don't like her hair either (am I allowed to say that?!?) - she has beautiful hair but find that bouncy blow dry v 'set' and staid. I prefer her hair a bit more casual, looser. Dress, grand.

Gooseysgirl · 22/01/2019 17:29

I bloody hate the DM but clicked... the photos of KM's dress look much better there, green colour looks less olive and it's a thumbs up from me!

Wetdogloveshubert · 22/01/2019 17:35

Ah, typical... but canny marketing - isn't this the dress Kate wore today?

Wetdogloveshubert · 22/01/2019 17:37

Didn't come through, but the beulah website is undergoing maintenance (is down) but has a model wearing Kate's dress showing.

Clionba · 22/01/2019 17:46

I really like Kate's dress, lovely length and fit. Very elegant and flattering. I agree about shoes and bag, could have done with a lift.
Even if you're in a car and then a building, it's still bloomin freezing!! I'd need a coat!

itswinetime · 22/01/2019 18:02

The dress is nice I like it I don't dislike the matcha shoes and bag but I agree a bit of pattern or a contrasting colour would have lifted the whole outfit from like to live to me. Nice to hear it is a charity supporting women too!

SittingAround1 · 22/01/2019 20:03

Plain fabric and simple cut, olivey green colour, bare legs even though it's freezing, charity supporting women -is Kate trying to tell us something?

Tortycat · 22/01/2019 20:06

Unusual of Kate not to wear a coat. Even though you dont need to dress for the weather if youre limo'ed about, to me it would just feel wrong to go out mid Jan in bare legs, no coat. I feel cold just thinking about it! I thought Meghan might just not be used to British seasons yet, but Kate obviously is

MakeItAmazing · 22/01/2019 22:01

Catherine did have tights on.

Quantumblue · 22/01/2019 22:11

That dress is a great colour for Kate.

Gotstuckwiththisname · 22/01/2019 22:17

I'm not a fan of Kate's outfit today, it was just meh. Same goes for Leti. Both lacking pizzazz.
