And I shouldn't have to say this anymore but will do so for any newbies - let's keep our critiquing to the clothes and not the women wearing them.

From the waist down the dress is lovely but the bust area is not very fiattering or perhaps does not photograph well. The colour is very bland.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 13/02/2019 20:14

this is a simple dress but Letizia looks beautiful

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 13/02/2019 20:16

Yes agree Kate’s dress is pretty from waist down.
She should have just used one colour for the top. And not so bandage style. Reminds me of 90s azzedine alaia

Overwhelmedandundermined · 13/02/2019 20:18

Agree, waist down it's a lovely dress. She hunches her shoulders and has an odd grin. Maybe botox doesn't help! Not keen on the darker bandage bit across her boobs. Hmm not keen on much of it, really!

Abra1de · 13/02/2019 20:18

Kate’s legs aren’t that actually long in proportion to her height. But they are very shapely.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 13/02/2019 20:19

Felipe and Letizia are also in Morocco.
Maybe they all want winter sun...

Letizia is so beautiful! And majestic. Love the dress!

user1457017537 · 13/02/2019 20:29

I dislike tonight’s Gucci but I have to say the woman accompanying Kate has a beautiful outfit. Gorgeous pale pink satin full length skirt and plain black top with corsage! It’s beautiful imo

LaurenOrdering · 13/02/2019 20:29

Not keen on tonight's gown. The colour reminds me of starfish mixed with splattered brains.
Top half looks odd with the wide ribboning/sashing cutting her décolletage off.
However I like the swishy skirt & velvet ribbon around her waist.
Though I don't like it personally, Kate looks good.
I do feel awful when saying what's wrong with the outfits as in real life when friends wear something awful, I adjust my viewpoint to that friends personality.
My bestest & oldest friend & also my youngest Sister are as blunt as anything & prefer the truth. Youngest Sis just says tell me if I look shit in this, rather than lie.
Other friends & older Sis I'm more tactful & say it's nice/ok but this other dress/top/skirt/trousers etc look absolutely stunning on you.
Middle Sis I know not to comment or be non commital as she's a bit temperamental.
I can also see when something looks good on someone even if it isn't my cup of tea.

LaurenOrdering · 13/02/2019 20:31

Meant to say earlie @Hairydilemma I love your Chanel style jacket.

BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo · 13/02/2019 20:34

That dress is hideous, colour, style and the bust area looks excruciating.

Obloodyhell · 13/02/2019 20:34

I have finally caught up with the Jeremy Paxman documentary on the younger Royals. Here is a youthful Prince Andrew. Tom Cruise anyone?

I'm not so keen on Kate's dress this evening. The best bit is the velvet belt.

Leti looks beautiful and so elegant in that grey dress.

Paradyning · 13/02/2019 20:43

It's really similar to the much better blue/green Jenny Packham dresses. She should have just worn that as it is infinitely nicer.
I also really dislike the sparkly Choos that she's repeated tonight. Don't like at all (which links in with my accessory theory - conveniently for me!)
I do like the colour of the belt and bag. Kate must be so pleased I approve Grin

Paradyning · 13/02/2019 20:44

Love Leti's dress. It's very New Look.

Obloodyhell · 13/02/2019 20:51

Prince Edward or Alan Partridge?

ItsNiceItsDifferentItsUnusual · 13/02/2019 21:09

Love the dress tonight. Quite a different colour for her I think?

QueenOfTheAndals · 13/02/2019 21:09

The belt is the same one she wore with the tweedy Erdem midi last year, isn't it? I'm surprised she can breathe or eat though, the dress is that snug!

MotherofPearl · 13/02/2019 21:19

This one is velvet but I think the Erdem one, though a very similar colour, was grosgrain?

CourageCalls · 13/02/2019 21:19

I really like the evening look more than the white BAFTA dress. I feel like it's high end rather than bridesmaidy.

Pupsiecola · 13/02/2019 21:19

Has DoC had Botox for the first time? Her forehead looks so much smoother than usual. I wonder if she is dabbling now she may have given up BFing?

I think she's stunning anyway, she just looks fresher and less tired today.

IdaBWells · 13/02/2019 21:21

Catherine always looks beautiful and with impeccable grooming. I'm not a fan of the top of this dress either, so strange to have your arms and bust strapped down in that manner but I love how floaty it is and that she has the ultimate excuse for glam impact dressing.

Can someone please post Meg's outfit from last night?

kooshbin · 13/02/2019 21:22

I like the skirt of Kate's dress this evening, but the bodice is all manner of ways wrong. It looks like she has no boobs at all.

Like user said, I was impressed by what the woman greeting her was wearing. Beautiful skirt and lovely top. Apparently she is Colonel Jane Davis, Vice Lord Lieutenant of Greater London.

TipseyTorvey · 13/02/2019 21:34

Placemarking!

UrsulaPandress · 13/02/2019 21:35

Reminded me of chest binding. And too similar in swishiness to her BAFTA frock for me.

Lovely to read you all complimenting the outfit of a larger lady.
