Royal style & gossip: who's having a ball in Balmoral?

For those still on holiday mode .

Beatrice and Fergie

Beatrice is a no!!

Fergies coat is lovely not loving the hat

Eugenie however is stunning

I can’t quite decide whether Fergie has a dead badger or a crown of thorns on her head.

It's an odd one that's for sure! Don't think we will be seeing the Cambridge's today! Not that surprising given then tenuous link and the date today.

I think Fergie probably looks much better in RL. The photos make the hat look too solid whereas I think it's quite light.

KP with Orlando sorry to Sienna and her OH

Kate hardly ever goes to weddings now. She went to Sophie Carter's but I can't recall many others except for family dos.

I don’t think K&W are friends in the same way though are they? Don’t E&J know Ellie & soon to be husband (forgotten his name!) from NY and the art/gallery world?

I quite like Bea dress, it’s by The Vampires wife I think,
awful coat and dress on Katie Perry.

Mrs James Blunt hat is a bit odd for wedding

Well, from the pictures I've seen (Hello), I don't like the bride's/bridesmaids' dresses.

Tbf, I haven't seen a good picture, so may change my mind... Unlikely though!

The connection to William and Kate from what I can tell is that she sung at their wedding! They may well rub along with each other but I don't think they are friends. Where as Jack is in the wedding party I think (from the photos) and the York's in general are friends of the couple. I think the press just got carried away as always with the guest list!

Not at all keen on Fergie's get up, the buttoned black coat and the little feathered (?) pillbox, it's not a summer wedding look at all.

The coat might have looked better if she'd worn a bigger, more dramatic or brightly coloured hat.

Agree from the little I have seen I'm not a fan of the brides dress either but I am yet to see a good shot maybe as they the church.

I'm hoping that Ellie has some sort of cover up on to hide the dress from the press she may have a magazine deal if not it's very covered up for August. Today is my wedding anniversary, my guests were a bit less A list but very gorgeous all the same

I would have never thought she would go for this sort of 1970s type dress, it’s a bit too Laura Ashley isn’t it?

What sort of style is Cressida ? Boho posh?

It is VERY Laura Ashley!

Sienna Miller looks amazing.

Beatrice's dress reminds me of a bluebottle- think it's the colour!

Brutally honestly:
The bridesmaids look as if they're in nun's under-dresses.
Eugenie ... very ordinary looking.
Bea ... strange. (Do these two have mirrors?)
Fergie ... at least it fits. But black to an August wedding?
Sienna Miller looked lovey.
Sofia Wellesley - unusual. Can't decide if i like it or not tbh.
Not sure who - but pale pink frilly with the black ribbon belt and silver sandals - lovely.
Katy Perry - weird. Maybe looks better in the flesh?
Cressida Bonas - is it the price of these outfits which make them think they look good? I mean if i went to a wedding wearing that outfit people would think i'd got dressed with my eyes shut.

Couldn't see the wedding dress in the pics so can't say.

I don't mind Beatrice's dress so much but, as is often the case, it looks like it's wearing her rather than vice versa. Eugenie looks fine but nothing extraordinary, black is a bit too harsh on Fergie.

Yes it is a harsh colour on her, August or not.

I’ve just had a look on the DM

I agree with Laiste. To be honest I think they mostly look horrendous

It's lucky its quite cool here today or the bride and maids would have been cooked in the dresses. Looks like a heavy satin. Weird for an August wedding.

I really like Beatrice's shoes.

I don't like Sofia Wellesley's dress and really don't understand why she's wearing it with a school straw hat.

Bride and bridesmaids look very circa 1976 imo .....

Well! The bride and bridesmaids look like they're extras in the Handmaids Tale or a Hammer film about vampires. On the vampire theme, Beatrice and Sarah look like they've wandered off the set of Twilight and most of the other guests appear to be in fancy dress. It's quite bizarre and disappointing .
