Link to previous thread

Link to book group thread, which has the list of books.

And in case you get bored of the royals or they're having a quiet week, here's the Celebrity S&G thread!

Remember, let's critique the clothes without getting too personal about the wearers.

The sleeves are totally different. I think it's different incarnations of similar designs. Suits her, either way. She looks good in swathes of fabric.

I don't think Kate would risk Botox?!

Horsemad · 10/02/2019 21:36

Shock Is that her underwear we can see in the green Packham pic posted by Curly?

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 10/02/2019 21:37

No it’s definitely the same dress. It just looks bluish in that photo.
They’ve just adjusted he waistband and sleeves to accommodate her pregnancy.

QueenOfTheAndals · 10/02/2019 21:37

Those are definitely two different dresses. She wore the blue one again when pregnant with Charlotte but last year's green dress was brand new.

This could go the way of that stripy dress from 2017...Grin

They definitely look like two different dresses, the second one - the one that I think shows her underwear, looks midnight blue to me.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 10/02/2019 21:41

She wore it in New York in 2014 too. At that point it was already the third outing, so I think she’s had goos wear out of a £2,000 dress.

The dress is described as petrol.
Let’s face it all colours photograph differently.
Even the angry frog dress from last week looked anything from jade to apple green.

Horsemad · 10/02/2019 21:44

Yes, petrol blue is a good description.

RuggyPeg · 10/02/2019 21:44

Barton - the first thing I noticed in tonights pics of Kate is that she'd had a Botox top-up.

AFifthOfKoolAid · 10/02/2019 21:45

a comparison.

Definitely different. She does that thing I do of when I find a dress I like, I buy it in half a dozen colours. But my dresses are 20 quid Sad

I'm still Team Two Dresses! The green one has a different neckline and is much more décolleté.

I assume the photos from the BAFTAs are published globally, in which case it’s totally appropriate that the UK’s future Queen looks amazing in a British dress. What a fabulous advertisement she is for British fashion.

Aside from that I think she looks magical, how wonderful to be able to look so spectacular .

thenightsky · 10/02/2019 21:46

Kate looks amazing. I've noticed that she doesn't hang on to William's arm at all either. She's confident on the heels. I always hang onto DH when I'm in heels.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 10/02/2019 21:50

Well given that Kate has a billion identical coat dresses in white / cream / lemon then maybe she snuck in an extra Packham at a “bargain” 2 grand.

QueenOfTheAndals · 10/02/2019 21:51

I high doubt either of those Packhams cost as little as £2k!

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 10/02/2019 21:55

Well the express said they did.
( and I know what you’re going to say now @queen!)

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 10/02/2019 21:55

Love this pic of Will & Kate.
Looks like date night!

The only issue I have with the white dress is that in some photos the boning on the bodice can be seen. For that money the fit should be flawless!

aww that photo is super cute

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 10/02/2019 22:02

the dress is so swooshy
Love 💕 💖

Disfordarkchocolate · 10/02/2019 22:02

I love everything about the outfit apart from the earrings. She looks wonderful.

Namechangre · 10/02/2019 22:03

I thought botox or fillers when I first saw the photos, her face looks odd.
