Tour itinerary

As always, let's critique the clothes and not the wearers.

Checking in. Am in awe that Arles identified the dress so fast - amazing!

ChardonnaysDistantCousin · 20/09/2019 20:48

I really don't like Ivanka's dress.

It's very soft and doughy.

MotherofPearl · 20/09/2019 20:50

I love the word doughy... and I don't love Ivanka or her dress.

QueenOfTheAndals · 20/09/2019 20:58

I normally love a caped dress (Gwyneth in white Tom Ford at the Oscars some years ago springs to mind) but don't like Ivana's cape. I think the neck tie detracts from the neckline of the dress. She was also looking disturbingly like her father in some of the DM photos Confused

Inhave a new favourite tiara! Thank you CurlyWurlyTwirly for that link. 👑

RomaineCalm · 20/09/2019 21:06

Love Meghan's dress - from the little I can see she looks beautiful in it.

Wetdogloveshubert · 20/09/2019 21:15

My EYES! Those 70s ads are heinous, and remind me far too much of pictures of my parent's generation in that era. Wow.

I really like the look of Meghan's dress - there's lots of extra movement in the ruffles.

Looks like Meghan went for a thicker lining to the dress than the image! I'm not a fan of the style no busy and I'm not a big fan of ruffles personally but I hope one day we may see her wear it again otherwise I think that's all we will see.

ChardonnaysDistantCousin · 20/09/2019 21:29

She's brave.

Last thing I want is ruffles on my arse.

Lunde · 20/09/2019 21:32

I'd like a good look at Meghan's dress. It looks lovely on the model but I'm wondering whether the flounces and net would swamp a tiny woman like Meghan (I have made this mistake myself).

Ivanka seems to be channelling a 1950s Kennedy compound vibe - I don't think it really suits her as it ages her

Ninkaninus · 20/09/2019 21:36

LOL - as soon as we got onto retro fashions my thoughts went straight to Sir Moore’s sweater modelling pics! Glad to see someone else went there too. Grin

paradyning · 20/09/2019 21:38

Ivanka was channeling Grace Kelly when she got out of the car.

CurlyWurlyTwirly · 20/09/2019 21:43

A few more wedding guests

Karlie Kloss, Gayle King, Paul McCartney and wife

DevonUkelele · 20/09/2019 21:44

That Valentino is $US13,500 - which comes up to nearly $17k in Australian money 😲. That's a lot of cash for a dress that will probably only be worn once.

Much as it pains me to say it, I think Ivanka looks stunning. Though I could do without the pussy bow neck thing.

Loving Bea's bejewelled headpiece too.

Harry is looking very like his father (Charles!) in this pic, IMHO.

LenoVintura · 20/09/2019 21:46

My god, Ivanka utterly breathtaking (not commenting on her as a person). Stunning. Mr and Mrs Corden, tick, very nice, he's cool. Meghan, yep, tick. Can't see enough of the Yorks to comment. Orlando and Katy, nope, grubby.

QueenOfTheAndals · 20/09/2019 21:49

Orlando's short trousers and loafers with no socks Confused

Ivanka dress doesn't fit around the bust by the look of it. Julia Corden looks gorgeous.

Why are Bea and Eug there? Confused

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 20/09/2019 21:52

I agree with LenoVintura except I don't like Meghan's Morticia Addams dress, however I will say her hair and make up are flawless.

QueenOfTheAndals · 20/09/2019 21:54

@hopeishere old friends of the groom, apparently.

Old friends of Misha’s first groom

QueenOfTheAndals · 20/09/2019 21:58

Yes of course @CurlyWurlyTwirly. And that groom is now with Maria Sharapova!

hopeishere · 20/09/2019 22:00

Ivanka's cut her hair!

In the DM photos there's a lady wearing the same dress as Julia Corden but in a different colour.

FluffyCloudsInTheSky · 20/09/2019 22:01

Checking in Cake

Rhubarbisevil · 20/09/2019 22:05

Will we see any other pics of Meghan or just the back view?

InvisibleWomenMustBeRead · 20/09/2019 22:07

Can I join in - I don't like to comment on people but loving the commentary on the clothes. Not keen on the picture of Meghan's dress but would like to see what it actually looks like on her as I imagine it's gorgeous.

Love Ivanka's dress. Don't like Karlie Kloss's dress or Gayle King's dress. James Corden and his wife both look lovely - love her dress. Wish they'd all pose properly for us Grin
