Stephanie of Luxembourg off to vote in the EU elections while wearing some very unflattering trousers. Has she come straight from yoga?

Poor Stephanie!

Paradyning · 29/05/2019 15:55

She has a lovely manicure.

queenofarles · 29/05/2019 16:57

What sort of trousers is that Confused?
Looks like leggings but it’s not,

Paradyning · 29/05/2019 18:29

HM, Bea, Eug and Birgitte looking good. Love the Queen's hat.
Think Eug's dress is a little less than flattering though.

I think he colour washes Eug out a bit.
Really like Bea's look.

QueenOfTheAndals · 29/05/2019 18:37

Is Brigitte really small or is she standing a bit further back? I don't think the York sisters are particularly tall! Eugenie's dress is a bit of a snooze and looks more suited to someone her mother's age. And is Beatrice is wearing an Alice band? Though maybe they should be renamed Kate bands!

I love HM's hat. HM does wear some fabulous hats!

Paradyning · 29/05/2019 18:43

Bea's band looks quite thick from other angles

Paradyning · 29/05/2019 18:43

Birgitte has good sensible shoes on. Quite right. And she's standing further back.

QueenOfTheAndals · 29/05/2019 18:44

Letizia back on form in red. Ferregamo but I'm sure I've seen similar at Zara recently.

Birgitte is one of the unsung heroines of royal fashion. Last year she wore an orange dress and green hat to Ascot and looked fabulous.

Is it just me who thinks the Duke of Gloucester has a Clark Kent air about him? He always looks so mild-mannered and unassuming.

That was a fabulous look on her.
I know what you mean Queen

MotherofPearl · 29/05/2019 19:15

@Paradyning I love your kindness to Stephanie, commenting on her manicure rather than her unfortunate trousers! I wonder if it was partly the photograph that made them look so bad?

Re: CPV's scraped back hair - I think @QueenOfTheAndals has a theory about her having shares in a hair gel company?! Grin

I actually think the cut and shape of Eug's dress today really works well on her. The v-neck crossover/wrap top flatters her shape and is a very welcome departure from those wretched high necklines she often favours, and which as we've all said before do not suit her ample bosom.

MotherofPearl · 29/05/2019 19:16

Though I agree that the colour of Eug's dress is rather insipid.

QueenOfTheAndals · 29/05/2019 19:34

Agree that the neckline is far more flattering than the high necked Erdems but Eug can carry off stronger colours.

Love the look on both of the York sisters - Bea really suits stronger colours and the cut of Eugenie's dress is spot on though the colour is a bit meh. That type of neckline really suits her though and shows off her fabulous figure.

QueenOfTheAndals · 29/05/2019 20:00

If we were going to House of Colour the royals then... Eugenie and Meghan winter, Beatrice and Kate autumn, Sophie summer?

Max seems very busy. Here she is today in one of those gigantic hats she loves - and wearing some extraordinary earrings! I'm not convinced about the matching gloves, but what a nice photo of her and Wax together.

Wax always looks so proud of Max and like he can't believe his luck.

MotherofPearl · 29/05/2019 20:02

I feel like we've seen earrings like them on these threads before but I can't remember who it was.

Wetdogloveshubert · 29/05/2019 20:04

Beatrice has the horrid flaps, frills, and flower patterns though! I really strongly dislike her dress today, unlike Eugenie's which is lovely.

A fun pic of Harry and HM, here.
