Here we go again, and as always say what you like about the clothes but keep it civil re the wearers of said clothes!

Falke's Shelina tights are the best - they come in several skin tones and just look like you've got nice skin and/or a tan. They're only 5 denier though, so probably not for this weather unless you get chauffeured around like the duchesses!

I think Meghan is so beautiful but I've concluded it's time to write off any kind of pregnancy style for her, bless her heart!

Where can you get those Queen? I'm not in the UK. No chauffeur I'm afraid! :)

QueenOfTheAndals · 31/01/2019 15:00

John Lewis and House of Fraser have them, as do Amazon.

Oh sorry, saw you said you're not in the UK. I'm sure JL delivers internationally though if, as your user name suggests, you're in Spain then El Corte Ingles may do them.

Thank you, I will try Corte Ingles or Amazon.

There's also an outlet store at Bicester! Grin

I quite like Meghans look today the hair is a bit severe I think and the coat as a cape thing isn't for me but the skirt and jumper looks good to me.

Re Kate and the Baftas and change we think she might re wear the mysterious gown for Charles 70th? Or is that not done? As much as I like her thriftiness and previous outfits I am hoping for something new! And if your reading Kate please not the blue bridesmaid dress from the state dinner!

Loved Camilla’s look.
Combination of black velvet with satin trim was impeccable.
Only slight comment would be suede instead of leather shoes.

I’m trying to figure out why Meghan’s hair at the fashion awards looked so good; but today it was a miss

I liked Camilla’s chic little suit at the Royal Academy.
She always looked genuinely engaged and interested.

Parting and a lower bun at the fashion awards. And her looked glossier.

itswinetime · 31/01/2019 17:19

I think it's the height of the bun as a pp said it looks like a ballerina bun.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 31/01/2019 17:22

Yes i could see the height of the bun & parting.
I think her hairline looks neater with a lower bun.
I’m also wondering if she’s had some extensions removed.

I have never been a fan of that topknot hairstyle. It used to be ubiquitous where I live among the late teens and 20-something set, but has now seemed to have disappeared.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 31/01/2019 17:27

Letizia today.
Like the pleats on the bodice and the frills on the sleeves.
But the belt is a bit droopy and the colour a bit meh.
However, her shoes as usual are fantastic!

CP Mary.
I think the 2 greys clash and they are not the most flattering cut pants.
Looks better with the coat...

Ps, anyone else on the thread today? Grin

Camilla navy suit is fab.

Not a fan of MMs Black outfit with camel shoes. I really generally don't like black and camel together. It's not so bad if you wear it Mary-style (Classic camel coat with black blouse and trousers and heels underneath) but an entirely black outfit and some rando shoes?

That's a no from me, dawg.

flatpackbox · 31/01/2019 18:08

I love Camilla's style, I think she dresses very well for her shape, age and role.

I bet she would be great fun to spend a night in the pub with!

Paradyning · 31/01/2019 18:58

Any pics of Princess Alexandra??

Paradyning · 31/01/2019 19:07

Got one! That's some brooch she has on!
As others have said Meg's hair looks much better with her signature bun.

Princess Alexandra yesterday

Are you sure a pp is not confusing her with Camilla?
Alexandra loves that fur hat.
I wonder when she is allowed to retire?

She looks much better in the blue velvet.
