I think Meghan is a winter. Just in the way she carries off navy, white and black like me Grin

Sali Hughes has a book out about HM's style and use of colour called Our Rainbow Queen. Sounds like a must-read for this thread!

Objectively Max's outfit is a shocker, but she just manages to carry off things that would make most people look ridiculous.

Yes, those trousers fit badly in our Max. Stunning woman.

MotherofPearl · 30/05/2019 12:59

Would black trousers have looked better with Max's top? The ones she did wear were not right at all.

QueenOfTheAndals · 30/05/2019 14:04

Not sure any trousers would've worked with that top. It might've been better as a dress?

Alas Max, that top puts me in mind of a sweetie wrapper... not a fan of that look!

BertrandRussell · 30/05/2019 14:52

Nothing would look better with that top........!

BigGreenOlives · 30/05/2019 16:06

One of my near neighbours is a volunteer at SmartWorks. She always dresses very well.

Suited and Booted carries out the same function for men, providing them with work wear, interview help etc.

AnneEyhtMeyer - Beatrice's dress is a fright. Those flounces and frills look like a sofa cover from the 80s.

I know we're past this now but i wanted to repeat this post because it's exactly what i was thinking but wasn't actually going to say it because i've been quite negative on here recently.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 30/05/2019 18:35

I think Max's sparkly top would have looked better with either white palazzo pants or similar toned (to the sparkly top) trousers.
Or as it's Max skin tight violet or ultraviolet tight trousers!

managedmis · 30/05/2019 18:38

Totally agree about Beatrice's dress.

Will the woman not listen?
Does she even have a stylist?
Has she even googled how to dress an hour glass with big boobs?

I was going to mention the dreaded Quality Street words but thought I'd better not, spudlet

StCharlotte · 30/05/2019 18:47

I love love love Eugenie's frock. Even liked the colour although would like to see it in other colours as well.

Was too busy admiring it for Beatrice's dress to make much impression really. Might scroll back for another look...

StCharlotte · 30/05/2019 18:50

Hmmm. Is it a Joe Browns sofa dress?

We don’t call him Hottie Haakon for nothing

Anyway; you need to check with @frugalkitty. Not sure how often HH is allowed out of her airing cupboard.

alldressedupinblue · 30/05/2019 19:48

The Order of the Garter this year will be attended by Queens Letizia and Máxima. Mucho español to be spoken!

Wetdogloveshubert · 30/05/2019 20:14

Queen!!

Ooh! Let us know if it's any good @Wetdogloveshubert. I really like Sali's writing,

I think you'll find I'm next in line for HH once Frugalkitty frees him

Wetdogloveshubert · 30/05/2019 20:38

It's a coffee table book really, but it's beautifully presented (even if I did find a couple of typos) and the pictures are stunning. I thoroughly recommend to everyone on this thread! It's organised by colour.

Ladies, I'm prepared to be generous and let HH go. I'll settle for HCP or even SFF. HSPM is in there with a chance too...

A Maxima/Letizia fashion face-off will be the gift that just keeps giving. Although their styles are so different it won't really be a face-off. When is the Garter event @alldressedupinblue?

17 June, we shall get some fine fashions!
