Royal style & gossip: look out, duchesses about!

[QueenOfTheAndals]

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

Previous thread

@Alwayscheerful Yes it's exactly the same coat but in red.

Kate's visiting the ROH today but I don't know what time. Outfit prediction is a rewear - possibly a coatdress or maybe something less formal.

And I thought Meghan's Mayhew and Cirque du Soleil visits were tomorrow but they're today too. And Camilla is carrying out some visits in Scotland.

Duchesses are like buses, you wait ages for one and then three come along at once!

That would have been a good title « duchesses are like buses»
On Twitter it said there are visits by 5 royal women today. So perhaps Sophie & HM are out today too.
Will this thread be able to contain itself? !

I saw that too but I think it's 5 visits by royal women - one for Kate and two each for Meghan and Camilla.

Where are you all? This thread is unnaturally quiet and the Queen requests your presence!

Kate is in a berry suit today and new shoes.

Lots of videos on Twitter from the usual royal correspondents of Kate’s purple/berry Oscar de la Renta dress. I’ve got a blurry screenshot but you are probably best off looking at the videos. (Hopefully someone else will cross-post with a better pic!)

I like it but am clueless about fashion 🤷‍♀️

And here’s Wax and Max yesterday

Max is so joyful, even when she's almost being blown away by galeforce winds!

I think the colour of Kate's suit is beautiful. I know it's safe, but she always looks lovely.

Is DoC in dress or suit? It looks more cerise than berry in that photograph, but it's a gorgeous colour - its almost neon, unless it's the lighting! Very eye-catching. Need a better shot of the shoes, but I really like that little bag.

Royal style icons current and past - loving Princess Fawzia Fuad

Hello everyone,

I saw this photo this morning anf thought you would enjoy it

She was in her early pregnancy with William but had not made her pregnancy public yet.

Can you imagine the outcry if either Kate or Meghan did this!

I remember that photo of Diana. How young she was - only about 20 there, I think.

Glad to see you back @Bloominglovely!

@desertgirl Princess Fawzia has a look of Hedy Lamarr or Vivien Leigh, doesn't she?

Beautiful photo of Diana. She looks so fragile in that picture.

Ok, Kate is in Oscar de la Renta in this video all you can hear are her shoes and a zillion camera shutters. Given she is visiting the costume department, the shoes with the buckles look a bit costumey.

I've been dipping into these threads for ages but this is the first time I have caught up enough to actually post so hi everyone!
Love the colour of Kate's outfit today and I love the top part but I think her legs are too thin to get away with a flared skirt and black tights; it makes her legs look stick like.

That colour is beautiful on Kate. The actual dress/suit/coat whatever is meh though.

Lovely colour, suit bit meh and not keen on the shoes.
What a sweet photo of Princess Di

Love the joyful Max!

Max 💗
From the ankles up Kate looks fab. That colour really suits her. hate the shoes!!

Great colour but not loving the actual suit. It's all a bit frilly and fussy for me. I think she looks far better when she wears those sort of strong colours in sleeker styles - that blue number she wore in the autumn to visit the imperial war museum for instance. It was a slightly sharper style and looked much better, IMO.

I love those shoes! The suit is fine, good colour and fit and style. Just somehow boring. Which I can't understand because it's technically not boring at all. If a woman wore that suit in the City we'd all be dazzled by her confidence and stylishness.

Yes, agree @spudlet Kate suits sharper tailoring. I don’t like those floppy girlish skirt suits either, like the burgundy one she wore last year, when Meghan went to the Hubb on the same day.

Thé Oscar de la Renta is a rewear, it’s AW15, and she wore it in Feb 2017 apparently.
The suit actually looks a bit 80s. Not keen on the seam pockets above her boobs and the fabric looks a bit thin.
The shoes look like an 80s style with those wierd gold bits.

I do however like the bag, although we currently don’t know too much about it...

The colour is lovely but the rest is a miss for me sorry Kate! Agree the sharper tailoring she has a similar red suit I think but it has a black belt that pulls in the waist and the skirt is straight looks much better
