Royal style & gossip: What a smashing, positively dashing spectacle - the Ascot opening day

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Obviously today's the second day of Ascot but given Kate's outfit yesterday, I felt a My Fair lady tribute was fitting!

Congrats @Queen! Lovely sparkly bit of bling you have there 😉.

Zara's hat is amazing! The dress not so much.

Sophie's jumpsuit is hideous. She does have form for jumpsuits though, which I always think is brave for women of a certain age (I am one also). Jumpsuits seem very unforgiving to me.

I'd give Eugenie a solid 8/10 - fab colour, good shape but agree with a PP, she really should avoid the high neck lines.

Is @GlamGiraffe still here? She's made it to the Mumsnet Madness twitter feed!

She does have form for jumpsuits though

^^

As you were. I don't know why I find that so funny

Dunno about Eugenie's dress, it's a bit better than that shocker from yesterday, but not much. Glorious colour though

Eugenie used the "m&s pants" bag last year too!

@managedmis

Just had another look - Eugenie's hat is ace too.

Lady Gabriella looks like a milkmaid in her Sunday best. It's a no from me .

I think Zara's dress is just ill-fitting and she's probably not pregnant. Bugger being "Mrs Michael Tindall" on my name tag though. Or, indeed, Mrs (HisName) (Anybody) anywhere.

If anything, mike should be Mr Zara Phillips, and be very grateful for it!

Love your ring Queen, very pretty 💍

Not sure about Sophie's jumpsuit, it was just too wide through the leg, I felt.

Thought HM looked nice as usual and I like Eugenie's outfit. Her waist did look small in it! 🤔
Not struck on Autumn and Zara's dresses really. I usually like Autumn's style too...

Lovely photo of a Peter & Autumn Phillips

Where has it all gone wrong Sophie?

Zara looks like she's wearing an overall. What were you thinking?

Eugenie's hat is fab.

HMQ looks fantastic as usual.

Even the spectators behind Sophie are sniggering behind their phones.
I love Sophie; but today she looked like a dwarf on stilts.

Peter & Autumn Phillips make a good couple. Blimey I sound like my Mother! 😆

I was so distracted by the clown legs on Sophie's jumpsuit that I didn't immediately notice bad-dart-nipple-look she's sporting.

Bad choice, Sophie, bad choice

Eugenie looks a bit better than she did yesterday, I especially like her hat.
I'm not keen on Sophie's outfit, colour and shape both awful, like an escapee from the chorus of an Ali Baba & the Forty Thieves panto.
HM was an improvement from yesterday, the grey and yellow worked well.

If the legs were just narrower, perhaps...?

I don't like flappy legs generally #TeamSkinniesTilIDie

The Queen looked amazing today. Zara needs to sort her bra out. It's too small. Don't like the jumpsuit or what Eugenie is wearing.

I loved the photos on Monday they all looked so happy like they were having a great old gossip!!

The jumpsuit looks like a blue version of CPM's Gumby one. But at least it's memorable!

Autumn resembles the actress Elizabeth Banks. I never noticed that before.

Lovely ring, Queen . All the women today look very busty and big shoulder ed somehow. Sophie really missed the mark.

I had to Google Elizabeth Banks, but yes, she does!

@QueenOfTheAndals your ring is beautiful, congratulations!

Argh, I hate falling behind on here. Always sure I'm missing things even when I have a nice read through.

Love your sparkly ring Queen, it's a beauty.

Like everyone else I'm staggered by the awfulness of poor old Sophie's jumpsuit today.

Eugenie's dress was an improvement but it still had an unflattering high neck. Why won't she give up wearing high necks?!

Pmk

European royals out and about today.

Mette-Marit looks good in the red dress though I'm not keen on her shoes.

CPM looks great in that crisp white shirt, though can't see much more of her outfit.

I think even for Max that top is just too much! It's so voluminous and orange!

I think wide legged trousers should be softer and more fluid. Sophie and Max today remind me of these...

Loving this thread thank you!

Don’t think Zara is pregnant- she has two small children and isn’t super skinny so I think it’s a a normal belly especially on a bloated day

I may be a bit sensitive about bellies

Am going against the grain and I don’t like Eugenie’s dress. It fits well but I don’t like the colour. Hat is ace though.

Any favourite photos from non royal guest outfits?
