Royal style & gossip: down with fleeces and double-breasted suits!

Previous thread, complete with our acronyms.

Thanks Queen

I have a theory that Kate has accidentally signed up to an Erdem subscription and another one arrives every month. It's like Sky and Reader's Digest, once they have you....

Erdem: the Fabletics of royal wear

I quite liked the Erdem, although I agree the shoes didn't quite go. Her hair was beautiful as well.

THe wedge shoes were awful

Laughing at the Erdem subscription / royal fabletics!

Erdem always reminds me of Coco Chanel (I think? Maybe someone else super stylish)... when you think you are finished getting dressed, take at least one thing off!

In Erdem's case, it could be the lace, the ruffle, the high neck, the unflattering length or the carpet and curtains loud pattern.

They never seem to suit anyone - why do so many women pay so much for them? It's a puzzle!

I bought an Erdem dress a few years ago for a black tie event, luckily it was 70% off, I wasn’t convinced with it, but I needed long sleeved gown and it was the only one,the fit and fabric were not the best.

Thanks Queen & this made me really laugh Good lord!! Who knew Edward was a MNetter? The single breasted suit is a welcome departure!

I like Kate in Erdem, but then I like Erdem even if it does look a bit bonkers at times.

Agree Erdem are very 1970's bridesmaid!

HMQ at Chelsea. I'm struck by how beautiful her skin is - a lesson to sunworshippers everywhere.

But also, sadly, how uncomfortably she seems to be walking. Watching her climbing out of the car made me wince. It's obvious she needs another step down, particularly so if she's had knee replacement surgery, as I think may be the case.

Wtf, Kate. Wtf. It gets worse. The dress, the earrings, the shoes, the culottes.

Thank you QueenoftheAndals for the new thread.

HMQ’s coat yesterday was a fabulous colour.

Thank you for the new thread Queen. Could it be DofC bought something really expensive from Erdem, tried it on at home, William said he didn’t get it & she’s been working her way through a credit note ever since?

Love the culottes. Love the Erdem. So much better than Beatrice and Sophie.

Oh yes the wedges didn’t go tho. They were an error

Checking in, thanks for the new thread

Thanks for that video. HM looked most interested by the wooden sculpture of the horse!

I don’t know why everyone is bashing Kate for her Erdem dress.
She gets slated for wearing coat dresses and being matronly.
She tried something fashionable and also gets slated. I’m sure if you went to Vogue house; they’d be oohing and asking over her outfit.
Maybe it’s a bit Emporer’s New Clothes, but I thought it suited her figure and the print and fabric was not outrageous like that shiny mustard floral Erdem.

Charles and Camilla out to dinner in Ireland.
I love her Eau de Nil swishy chiffon gown. She gets it spot on every time.

Oh god. I like the Erdem (although not with those shoes). Is there no hope for me?

I also love the & Other Stories dress from the other day, I'd have been tempted had it not been out of stock, and I love the culottes.

Thanks for the new thread. It was lovely Kate had so much support for her garden.

I don't mind the Erdem. It's a bit like the dresses she wore in India and that boho/hippy vibe really suited her. It's a nice change from coat dresses and if you can't wear a floral dress to a flower show then when can you?

I have really liked everything she has worn over the last couple of days, especially the culottes and shirt. If I had the height and budget (and waist!) I would definitely wear it.

Camilla looks fabulous.
