Royal style & gossip: while Meghan's away, will Kate play?

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Link to previous thread. And not a moment too soon!

In think buying 15 maternity coats would be madness though. Unless you were planning many children and re-wore them a lot. So time will tell on that!!

Although my guess is she's trying different fashion / looks so once she finds her groove we're unlikely to see this again. Is this her second vintage coat?

Only time will tell but I don't think a lot of her coats are maternity coats that's why they sometimes look off or aren't done up so it maybe that while yes she has brought a lot of coats this year she will be able to re wear them and the spending will slow down. Then again it may not it's still to early to judge.

I think they all spend to much, and yes it would be great to see more high street coming back, but if the cash is going to be spent the I would rather that be on different items that we can judge and discuss than on green coat dress number 11 that is pretty much the same as coat dresses 1-10

It's her second vintage coat I think. She wore one in NYC

I think it would be ok if she'd had the buttons changed. They just look like sad droopy udders hanging off the coat.

Zara’s shoes are jimmy choo . and they are several years old.

Vintage Dior or not , it’s just plain ugly, the only time I’ve seen buttons like these are in period drama shows.

floodedCuticles that Hobbs coat is truly beautiful and classic, fab buy!

I wondered if the coat was Marc Bohan and not YSL for Dior, and the buttons are a later edition , as it’s something YSL wouldn’t do , and it’s indeed Marc Bohan, I think this is the original one, it’s really ugly! , looks very Victorian

That Dior coat is very Handmaid's Tale chic. Not my favourite trend!

Vintage clothes are a very tricky choice, especially when pregnant.

They are generally tighter and smaller in the shoulder/arm area and the waist, because women were smaller back then. So if it's a normal coat, not a maternity one. then fit is really hard to get right.

I don't think the christening photos are press shots. It took the Fail until quite late in the day to print them, so I reckon they're congregation shots.

Love the colours!

Short retrospective of Zara’s style moments

The Dior coat is far too tight around the arm holes and is pulling above the bust. If she is going to spend a fortune she should at least buy stuff they fits.

Queen Margarethe looks lovely in those colours.

Queen Margarethe looks amazing. Love those colours.

Love that Mary look!

That's a good look. Would suit Kate or Megan equally well.

Meghan’s shoes

Another article says her shoe collection is worth £17k

Good God those cow print and plastic ones are probably the most hideous shoes I've ever seen.

When did she wear the over the knee boots?

According to the Meghan Style blog it was for her visit to Nottingham.

Beatrice looking quite cool in that pic curly. Not usually a fan of over the knee boots but she's pulling it off.

I love her shoe collection and I think it's something she has had for a while? But I might be wrong. However the cow print apparently worn on her visit to Smartworks, a non-profit organization that provides interview clothing and training to help women in need. A charity she is patron of! I would have sworn before checking that the had to be pre duchess shoes! Must have blocked them out!

Queen Margarethe looks like a right dog's dinner!
