Let's keep criticism to the clothes rather than the women please...

Kate’s makeup is very nice too, and her hair is just wow!

Mmmhmmokdear · 05/03/2019 12:57

Wow loads of posts while I was typing!

Meghan looks amazing there, as does the Queen. Camilla just looks so comfortable. Kate's dress probably feels nice on, but I think the look is too old for her. She'd have looked better in a shift dress like Meghan.

TokyoSushi · 05/03/2019 12:58

Ooh Meghan looks great! Kate still hasn't got the memo that mint green isn't her colour!

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 05/03/2019 12:59

I don’t like Kate’s dress at all. For a start it’s very reminiscent of the Missoni from last week, except it doesn’t even have the lurex to liven it up. Looks like a cheap nylon nightie and the colour is the worst I’ve ever seen on her. It’s just a nothing colour with a vague waft of mint green.

Meghan on the other hand looks great. The style of her dress has a bit of a 60s vibe which matches her hair.
She’s wearing what looks like Matt America tan tights. She needs some Wolford glossies and also the shoes look too big.
It’s fine on bare feet which have a grip, but not with tights. Looks precarious. Also think a metallic pump; maybe bronze, would have been better than the suede which looks a bit pinkish.

Yes purple isn't my favourite colour in the queen I prefer the pink from Christmas I think Camillias outfit is a bit odd. I'm normally a fan of the her look but today's isn't working for me. I think it maybe these pleat like bits not sure.

Bit of a lurker on these posts, I found you lot after evil frog eye dress on Kate (which I actually loved) and went back and read the whole lot of previous threads! Just finished them today :) Best threads on MN by far!

Love MM's outfit today, finally something that seems to fit nicely, I loved her pre-pregnancy style but do agree with most she has struggled with her changing shape and throwing money at the big designers hasn't helped really but today I really like it.

I love DoC style off duty style in general and her "work uniform" but today is a miss from me, the colour, the shape and it is generally just a bit boring.

HMQ always looks fabulous!!

EstrellaDamn · 05/03/2019 13:06

Kate is basically wearing a copy of the dress she wore last week Confused and it wasn't even a great look to start with.

Her look is becoming soooo boring now.

MM looks ace!

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 05/03/2019 13:08

I really like the purple on the Queen. I think she suits the bold colours now she is older as she has pure white hair. When it was brown, or transitioning to grey, I don’t think she wore such bold colours.

Paradyning · 05/03/2019 13:14

Meghan and Cams look lovely. Really like M's coat.
Don't like Kate's outfit (no surprise there)
But at least she isn't wearing her pinky nude shoes like last week. These ones are marginally better with the cool green.

SlipperOrchid · 05/03/2019 13:14

Kate looks so old, it is hard to believe she is not yet forty. And she is too thin, that is a fact, not a bitchy comment. It is her choice to be like that of course. Personally I think she looks better when she carries more weight.

Meghan looks well, she is glamorous and it oozes from her like a butterfly among moths.

I hope we see a photo of William and Harry chatting and smiling together to put those rumours to rest!

Notmyrealname855 · 05/03/2019 13:23

Don’t think we should make comments about anyone’s appearance if it’s something they can’t change, eg it’s ok to say they have heavy makeup/bad colour palette but their aging/skinny ankles (Kate and MM both seem to have these comments all the time!), maybe I’m just being sensitive and I know there are no bad intentions :)

Wish this had been a more formal event, we don’t get to see tiaras and sashes as much as I’d like!

Aberforthsgoat · 05/03/2019 13:24

I think Kate’s make up looks lovely I’ve been after that shade of lippy for ages - any ideas what it is?

I don’t like the sleeves on Kate’s dress and the high collar and buttons make it all look a bit matronly - I also don’t think it flatters her figure, it makes her look thinner than she is? Unless she really is that thin.

I actually really like Meghan’s look.

Notmyrealname855 · 05/03/2019 13:25

By the way, tricky event to dress for! If you were going, would you just assume “wedding guest outfit” sort of vibe?

Paradyning · 05/03/2019 13:30

She usually wears Bobbi Brown doesn't she? Maybe one of their shades

itswinetime · 05/03/2019 13:32

I agree more formal events Would be nice gowns, tiaras and all the pomp and ceremony is what the royals do best! Plus I'm still waiting to see what Megan's tiara of choice is! But I doubt that will have the pr spin on balls and banquets during economic hard times wouldn't be good would it.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 05/03/2019 13:35

Queen Rania and King Abdullah were just in the Uk.
What’s the difference between a regular visit and a State Visit?
How do they decide which one to do....?

waterandlemonjuice · 05/03/2019 13:41

Omg prince Karl of Sweden is seriously hot, sod the wedding dress, swoon at the prince!

I love this thread, you're all so knowledgable about fashion (I'm not, at all) and it’s unbitchy and funny and just lovely to read.

In fact it’s my refuge from serious news and other stressful reading. Thank you ❤️

Paradyning · 05/03/2019 13:47

Have you seen Haakon @waterandlemonjuice

Gooseysgirl · 05/03/2019 13:48

Just taken a quick look at the photos on lunch break... KM awful 🙈The others fab! I do like HM in a skirt and jacket combo!

waterandlemonjuice · 05/03/2019 13:53

No paradyning, do tell!

TSSDNCOP · 05/03/2019 13:54

Inside doesn’t need a coat, so MM is a no there but dress lovely.

I like Kate’s dress, similar to the pink one also that she wore to Pippas wedding. Very elegant and unshowy. Reflective of its wearer perhaps.

Camilla nails it again and HM just is.

Paradyning · 05/03/2019 14:05

Hottie Haakon Smile

Ah, thanks but no, I prefer Harry and Karl ❤️

UrsulaPandress · 05/03/2019 14:09

Oh Kate. Honestly with her figure she could wear virtually anything. That dress is just so bloody dull. Maybe she really does have no interest in fashion.

Meghan looks great.
