Um lovely dress, unfortunate nippleage

Labrodite · 13/07/2019 12:26

Kate in previously worn Dolce and Gabbana at Wimbledon today!

Ooh, I like that dress from what I can see so far. Very unusual for her to wear a darker colour to Wimbledon, I don't think she ever has before?

QueenOfTheAndals · 13/07/2019 12:27

For those prices (dress cost over £2k) the designers should be able to sort the darts out!

Buttons and bow are a bit fussy but I love the colour and shape of the skirt! Heeled sandals would be better. The green looks great with her hair.

Thedarklady · 13/07/2019 12:28

It OK and all but it looks homemade not like a top Italian designer piece.

Ninkaninus · 13/07/2019 12:29

I have no problems with nippleage. In this day and age I’d say as long as one is appropriately dressed, why on earth should a woman be worried about a perfectly normal part of her anatomy showing slightly through her clothing? It’s not as if she’s flashing them.

Paradyning · 13/07/2019 12:29

It's the darts, by the nipples themselves.

Paradyning · 13/07/2019 12:30

*not the nipples themselves.
Makes her look like a bond villain

Ninkaninus · 13/07/2019 12:31

Oh I see, hadn’t looked closely. Yes that is ridiculous, it should sit perfectly.

QueenOfTheAndals · 13/07/2019 12:35

She's looking more slender than ever in the shots on the Wimbledon twitter feed.

I'm Rambling as well. It's the pink panther pisstake of bond where the knives come out of the Russian villainess' bra.

Labrodite · 13/07/2019 12:39

It gives a lovely shape from the side. The trusty nude courts annoy me 🙈

My word she’s thin......

Laiste · 13/07/2019 12:41

She's so tiny now it makes those tennis players look stonking in comparison! The camera adds pounds as well ...

She always looks so polished though.

QueenOfTheAndals · 13/07/2019 12:43

Who are the players she's meeting? They look fairly young so I'm guessing girls' doubles finalists?

Labrodite · 13/07/2019 12:43

Yes, her torso is astonishingly small. I wonder what on earth she eats and exercises

itswinetime · 13/07/2019 12:44

I like the colour on Kate but agree for that's kind of money and with a seamstress the fit should be flawless and it isn't. I don't love the shoes but then I rarely do with Kate.

Laiste · 13/07/2019 12:44

I wonder where the first negative assumptions come from about KM and MM not arriving together will come from?

They're not a married couple - they married brothers! No reason to turn up at the same time. My family and i never arrive anywhere at the same time as my SILs and their lot. (even when we're meant to Grin)

Ninkaninus · 13/07/2019 12:47

She could have made it way more interesting with just picking the right kind of strappy block heeled sandals!

But then she doesn’t owe anyone an interesting outfit, she’s perfectly entitled to wear what she feels comfortable in.

itswinetime · 13/07/2019 12:49

It's silly to think the would arrive together Kate is a patron and she is doing her patronly duty talking to those involved ect ect, Meghan we are led to believe is not that interested in tennis but wants to support her friend so it makes perfect sense they would arrive separately they are there in separate roles!

But I agree a negative spin it will have so I will put £10 on the mail to have a whole spread on the feud tomorrow with body language experts and someone who will say protocol says they should arrive together or some such bullshit! Wink

Labrodite · 13/07/2019 12:49

I’m sure they’ll come Laiste! Kate is a patron so presumably has to arrive early for official meeting and greeting bits

Laiste · 13/07/2019 12:50

Oh this site is still doing the random word link creation thing Hmm

I just clicked on ''sandals'' above thinking Ninkaninus had chosen a pair for Kate but it's just the bloody Mumsnet flogging page again. grrrrr.

UrsulaPandress · 13/07/2019 12:51

I think I heard she arrived with Pippa.
