Royal style & gossip: the gowns and glamour of the Garter

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Previous thread

Now that the Orange One has gone, it's almost time for a visit from the Oranje One! Yes, Queen Max will be attending next Monday's Garter ceremony. It'll be a triplicate fashion face-off between her, Letizia and Kate - who will emerge victorious?

Agreed, Kate has very poor posture. Head always pushed forward and shoulders hunched. But I think a lot of tall girls walk like that

Eug has looked fantastic in a couple Vivienne Westwood dresses - but this high neckline looks terribly unflattering on her. Shorter/short waisted/curvier/bosomy women can't get away with the Kate look - lower neckline, corsetry & more structure fabrics work so much better I'm a similar build & I hate it tbh - would give anything to be tall & willowy & not feel like my choice is tits out or Victorian governess!

Maybe Beatrice and Eugenie have the confidence that comes with being a princess and think they always look great? The things they wear on a day to day basis are nice but they've not mastered event dressing.

Frugal

Back to Eugenie like the dresses above

And these well a modern version.

Elspeth beat me to it, but looks at Eugenie's peachy bum in this pic!! Wish mine looked like that. I think she looked in the mirror, went 'meh, not good on the boobs' then turned round and went 'sod it!'

Sophie's dress looks like the Cath Kidston tiles I've got my eye on for the bathroom floor!

I'm afraid that both girls have the same appalling lack of dress sense that their mother has, although she's much better than she used to be.

They shouldn't wear high necked dresses/tops as they both have big busts, their clothes are often too tight and strange colours or designs. They need to take some advice.
I agree about Kate's posture. I think she often looks like she would like to disappear. I think it's a lack of confidence. She looks so much more relaxed and more herself in casual clothes. She has a stunning figure but dresses like someone so much older, much like Diana did for years.

I like the 1950s vibe that @TracyBeakerSoYeah suggests for Beatrice & Eugenie. I do wish they'd work out what suits them.

I wish I could put speech bubbles on this picture. Eugenie: This dress was a mistake wasn’t it? Zara: Sorry cuz but yes the world can see your nips.

And is it just me or does Eugenie’s bag look like she is carrying a pair of nude M&S pants on a little hanger?

Kate: Don't worry Hun, most of them are oogling you bum!

Oh dear, poor Eugenie- awful pictures posted by Wetdoglovesherbert and BettyBoojustdoingthedoo.
You'd think Beatrice might have said.
Or Jack. But if he's anything like my dh he wouldn't notice til it was too late.
Have a look at Max's dress from yesterday- it wasn't great in the darts department either. Could somebody post a photo. Sadly I can't.

Eugenie looks like she has a banana on her head.

I wonder where the girls get the money from to pay for their wardrobe? I suppose they both have trust funds but they must have a budget they have to adhere to. I do like them both and to be fair Eugenie seems to be doing a lot for charity . l haven't seen Beatrice doing as much but l may be mistaken.

Looking at the picture BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo posted a different bra might have made a difference. I love the colour though.

Do you think there was a group WhatsApp saying lets all wear blue like granny ?

Horrors from Eug and Bea as usual.

Eug: makes her arms looks bigger than they are, too tight, shows her nipples, high neckline. I've said it before and I may as well say it again, she needs a scoop neck, sleeves that finish between the elbow and wrist, nipped in at waist, pencil skirt length. Preferably not in curtain fabric. She basically needs to dress like the red haired woman from Mad Men.

In that pic of her, Tindall's wife (sorry, I don't know her name) and Kate, even Mrs. Tindall is eyeballing the nips!

It;s good to see what looks like genuine affection shown from Charles to Zara and vice versa . Zara to Kate and Eugenie. I think these young royals are in touch with their feelings and are not afraid to show them either. I am wondering if it is Diana's influence drifting down through the years bless her . Perhaps l am being fanciful but a nice thought .

She has a matching yellow flash on the skirt of her dress .

Are there any shots of Anne showing her outfit - I really like the look of it .

I like Kate's outfit - v spring like ,fresh ,light and princessy .

Adore HM 's hat .

You have to be very slim to wear the dress that Eug is wearing - Meghan was pictured on this thread in the same style of dress but in yellow and it makes even her look big so heaven help anyone with else.

I missed the yellow flash on the dress but don't think it does it any favours

And those weird lumps on Eugenie’s shoes!

Christ Eugenie has a fantastic bloody arse!!! God I think that’s the nicest bum we’ve ever seen on the royal threads (hot princes included). If I were her, I’d be wearing tight leggings all day

WetDog thank you for those pics! And whoever posted those Diana pics... and Max early days pics! Maybe she wears colours now after those grey bank days?

Queen have you posted your ring yet? Exciting news!

Love Kate’s dress - well the skirt bit - the shirt is a bit blah. They all looks like they’re having amazing fun though!

@BettyBooJustDoinTheDoo

Eugenie presented dd with her Gold DofE award. She was quite tiny and wore a floral shirt waister, with the neck open, and looked lovely. No idea why she gets it wrong so often.
