Royal style & gossip: back to style, back to reality...

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Sorry! I was in a meeting and dropped the ball.

Previous thread and previous rules apply!

They have them at Hamleys too @Becles, the top floor there is an adult collector's dream!

Mathanxiety are you getting notions after going to Amerikay ?
Trews indeed. Twas far from trews you were reared in south Dublin

My mum would say 'slacks' instead of trousers.

I'd want a matching diamond encrusted wand to go with the HP tiara!

The word 'Slacks' always makes me giggle. DM had a pair of Slimma Slacks in the 1970 & older DSis said that you know you've lost weight when the trousers fall down so that's why they're called Slimma Slacks.
And of course I believed her!

Slacks. Love it

Slacks make me think of something in heavyweight polyester with that sewn in front crease down the leg. Sold in the back of Sunday supplements next to the extra wide shoes and stairlifts.

With possibly an elastic loop at the bottom to go under your foot.

What was that for?

Slacks are just trousers made to be worn without a matching jacket, as far as I’m aware...

No, weren't those known as ski pants @UrsulaPandress?

My grandmother is the last person I heard using the word "slacks"!

Omg. Stirrup pants.
My 80s wardrobe is flashing before my 👀 eyes

Oh yes, for men. With a sports jacket and a synthetic polo neck. (Smart casual wear from the late 70s / early 80s)

Guests arriving at Misha Nonoo's wedding. H&M are there (she's possibly in the black dress she wore to the Lion King?), as are the York sisters and, erm, Ivanka Trump.

I think that’s what they called them for women back in the day.

Just for you @CurlyWurlyTwirly! https://www.boredpanda.com/1970s-mens-fashion-ads/

Sorry also what they called them for women. And would have gone further back than 70s/80s.

Yes, my grandmother’s generation.

Bea's dress looks like it might be very interesting! Gold and sparkly but can only see about 2cm of the shoulder so far!
Olivia Coleman is so incredible

Don’t think it’s a the same dress Queen, , that Jason wu dress had an open fastening at the back. The one she is wearing today looks like a cape.

I like Ivanka’s dress, I think it’s Dior .

Earlier on she was wearing those hedious D&G majolica print dresses with espadrilles

Oh I hope Meghan’s not wearing the dress- I really didn’t like it....

I’d like to see her in it again; given that it was slightly too small last time it would probably fit perfectly well now as she is a little slimmer now. I thought it was elegant and suited her really well.

But it is black. I don’t usually like black for weddings although I guess high society/celebrity weddings are a thing unto themselves with a different set of rules.

Though it's in Italy, the wedding seems to have a distinctly American vibe. Black is fine for weddings in the US, especially at night.

Black always used to be fine for “matrons” in Italy back in the day, Not sure if it still is....

Definitely not the dress from the lion king premiere

Some dramatic sleeves on MM dress, kinda like it.

@senecaFalls - I have wondered about that with American weddings. In many ways, I have found Americans to be stricter with rules. And certainly the complicated wedding stuff f- rehearsal dinners etc blows my mind (although one day I look forward to being invited to such an event) bt is black really okay? That surprises me.
