Royal style & gossip: the Middletonian, the Marklesque and the Maximal!

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.

One of the few lone voices on here who does not like the white dress, I think white washes her out, it’s far to bridal and I think her hair looks harsh, glad to see she flys the flag for British designers though.

Kate at the BAFTAS... WOW 😍🙌🏻✨

Yes Erdem

I loved her in this blue dress.
(Bond premiere)

I was a bit meh on that one but iirc it was backless, so a departure for her. A chilly time of year to be going braless though!

Will does always have a perma smirk. I find it quite annoying.

Maybe it's a nervous thing, he never seems at ease at these big public events.

I put it down to nerves.

I feel bad for William, a few years ago there were loads of snipes about him looking awkward in photos, I remember it because people say the same about me and I'm like "but that's my face?!".

A chilly time of year to be going braless though!

Since when did a bra keep you warm?

It doesn't, but it hides one of the side-effects of being chilly!

I get warmth from my bra.

I love Kate's hair tonight. I wonder how many cans of hairspray were used?!

My favourite BAFTA dress of hers was the black floral off the shoulder one.

Love the movement and swishyness of Kate's dress, but a colour would have been better. I would love to wear such an amazing dress just once! Love her hair and accessories, though agree her face is looking a little frozen. Is botox safe while breastfeeding? or guess maybe she's stopped now. I think she looks younger when pregnant as her face is fuller.

Fave dress in that link is the first one - beautiful.

Ooh my first guess was McQueen due to the look of the bodice especially how it was structured around the embonpoint (boob area) & I always think McQueen has a very subtle structured/architectural/precise look to it even when it's a romantic, flowing dress.

Just seen footage of her shaking Olivia Coleman's hand. She has a great handshake! Love a firm handshake in a woman! 😁

Kate is out again on Wednesday- at a mental health conference in the day and a gala dinner at night. I think it'll be something lowkey for the former (oh for a trouser suit!) and a rewear for the latter - I doubt we'll see two new evening gowns in a week from her.

Meghan is at a theatre gala tomorrow too so fingers crossed for something that fits her! It's funny to think that before she got pregnant people said her clothes were too big for her and now the complaint is that they're too small!

I agree she looks like she has had Botox or something. It was the first thing I thought about the photo. That said she also looks like maybe she’s got a stye or something in the inner corner of her left eye nice dress but just couldn’t stop wondering what she’s done to her face!

So nice to see a bit more of Kate.

Hope we’ll see Meghan in some reasonably priced maternity wear.
My biggest issue with that shirt long black skirt combo is that it was so expensive and still looked awful.
If she’d thought, hey I’ll grab one of Harry’s dress shirts and try it with this long black skirt I’ve already got, then she would have got some credit for that. She’s allowed to experiment. Diana wore some mad shit back in the day!

If she’s going to spend £££s, then she should deliver with either something like the sequinned Mouret or the one shouldered Givenchy.

I agree Kate had a wee Botox touch up. Her right eyebrow is slightly lifted. Still think she looked amazing.

Her forehead was quite smooth. But she was still able to raise her eyebrows. So it must have been miniscule

You can do very good Botox these days. All around the edges of the face which leaves you able to be animated. It does give you a bit of a perky eyebrow but it really is quite good these days.

I love Kate's look. She is sooooo elegant. I've wondered about the botox thing before - she has a slight look of 'Kylie Minogue eyebrows' which to my mind is a real giveaway.

Have we mentioned Fergir in Sierra Leone? She looks great!

AFifth agree that Fergie looks great
