For those complaining about Kate's bow, I think it's her official All England Tennis Club bow - she wears it with all her Wimbledon outfits. Don't think it's a fashion thing.

ElspethFlashman · 02/07/2019 16:41

I think it looks like a lab coat. Or a costume from an ITV period drama.

2 grand down the drain. We'll be lucky to see the dress once more in the next decade.

(Sorry, just a bit shocked at how much "custom" she's worn in the last month alone, it makes me feel a bit ill)

Disfordarkchocolate · 02/07/2019 16:44

If I had to wear an odd ugly bow every year I'd make sure it went on one of my custom made bags and wear it that way.

AdaColeman · 02/07/2019 16:45

I really liked Kate's look today at Wimbledon, light and summery yet still dressy/smart. I like the black and white combination too, it always works well, and I thought the shoes were fine, much better than espadrilles!

I thought it was a nice move for her to spend time out at Court 14 as well.
Game, set and match to Kate!

MotherofPearl · 02/07/2019 16:47

Sorry I'm a bit behind on the thread so forgive me if it's been posted already, but have we seen SWFM in this great red dress? Looking uncannily like CPM as ever, of course. Not keen on this tiara, too fussy.

I agree the dress is lovely @MotherofPearl, lots of medals man (sorry, no idea who he is), it's like he saved the world, twice!! I wonder if they get dressed and think how ridiculous all this is some days?

Stravapalava · 02/07/2019 16:53

I love Kate's outfit from today, tiny bag (reminds me of "tiny dog" from Secret Life of pets!), bow and all!

Also, sound the klaxon - royal dream had!!

It was about Kate. I was talking to her at a party and she'd had her hair cut into a chin length bob. She looked fantastic. I can't remember what we talked about, but I think I was trying to help her in some way.

MotherofPearl · 02/07/2019 17:02

@Disfordarkchocolate totally agree about the medals - a bit OTT. It's Prince Joachim. Wink

That's a great colour on SWFM, really suits her. Prince Joachim isn't aging well, he's younger than CPF but looks much older. Then again CPF is one of those men who looks perennially boyish.

If Kate cut her hair that would break the internet @Stravapalava!

It must be weird that your brother chose as his wife, your wife's lookalike Grin

frugalkitty · 02/07/2019 17:37

I was just looking at pics of Kate at Wimbledon and wondering (as I often do) how she can stand to have her hair down when it's hot. My hair is thick and I can't stand it down in the summer as I start overheating.......'tis a mystery to me how she manages it.

yellowalstroemeria · 02/07/2019 18:45

I generally like Kate's clothes- loved the blue Ascot outfit- but I really don't like the white and black.

The upcoming royal calendar here looks very sparse for July and unless there's something glitchy with the search function on the court circular, Kate has no engagements coming up Confused

Spudlet · 02/07/2019 18:45

bean I know two brothers who each married a woman with the same name... it gets confusing sometimes! They don’t look alike though Grin

@yellowalstroemeria Kate and William's engagements don't appear on the Court Circular for some reason. We'll see her at the Wimbledon ladies final and probably both of them for the men's and they're got some sort of regatta next month. But in general July/August is not a good month for royal-spotting!

I love Kate’s look today. She is on trend with the bag!

Hairydilemma · 02/07/2019 19:22

It reminded me of this one (not really similar, just that the neckline is) - so my first thought was ‘has she borrowed it off Carole?’.

Frugal she's got a built in air conditioner in her head Grin

thatone · 02/07/2019 19:27

I love Kate's look today, really suits her.

PleaseGoogleIt · 02/07/2019 19:48

Just checking in because I'm fed up of losing the thread!

Thanks for keeping me entertained on a very dull train journey earlier ladies Grin

MrsGrindah · 02/07/2019 20:34

The earrings Kate wore from Accesorize yesterday...I have them! Feel like my social status has gone up several notches already....also anyone else spot the new bing rock on her right hand today ?!

beanaseireann · 02/07/2019 20:50

Yes I saw it but can't make out the stone - is it a citrine or a pink sapphire similar to Eugenie's engagement ring ?

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 02/07/2019 20:53

Saw that ring @MrsGrindah but not in detail other than it was very big!

JaimeBronde · 02/07/2019 21:04

According to whatkatewore.com/2019/07/02/kate-wears-bespoke-suzannah-dress-for-wimbledon-day-2/#more-60072

Kate's ring is a Citrine cocktail ring which was first seen on her in 2008.
