I think Kate is warm too as she looks great in autumnal colours like rust, forest green, berry and olive.

Yes she’s definitely on the warm side. Which is why the deep warm colours look so gorgeous on her.

Ninkaninus · 02/10/2019 17:50

And I really like that dress on her. I think the style of dress she prefers looks far better in person where her figure will be insinuated by movement, and which doesn’t really come across in photos.

Myimaginarycathasfleas · 02/10/2019 18:07

If I wore that dress and those heels I know exactly what would happen and it wouldn't be pretty...

paradyning · 02/10/2019 18:30

Ha same!

Spudlet · 02/10/2019 18:40

If I wore any of the heels the Duchesses sport, I’d be in long term physiotherapy 😳

thisenglishlife · 02/10/2019 18:41

I like Kate's shoes and earrings.
I quite like the dress but the colour is perhaps a bit too dull for her. Definitely beats a coat or flippy dress though.

I still don't care for her current hair colour, I think it washes her out. She looks divine with really dark brown hair, which looks glossier on everyone.
She had a 'There's Something about Mary' moment.

After yesterday’s stunning red dress, Letizia does this .... 🤦‍♀️

Really don’t think that green dress does anything for DoC, just kind of looks frumpy. Also the sash is kind of odd looking contrast. Does look like something a Sheikha would wear so maybe that’s why

FelicityFlutterby · 02/10/2019 18:58

Oh I quite like that curly!

BlingLoving · 02/10/2019 18:59

That blouse on Leti!?

MotherofPearl · 02/10/2019 19:01

Oh dear me, that is not Leti's best look. I really dislike the collar in the same fabric as the skirt, and the whole thing is far too matchy-matchy.

I think DoC looked okay today but I agree totally with @thisenglishlife about her hair. This lighter colour drains her and I think it looks best dark chestnut styled with big loose curls, cut a bit shorter.

Can't believe Meghan is in another trench dress!

MotherofPearl · 02/10/2019 19:04

Like this. Obviously a picture from when she was pregnant. Her hair looks great here imo.

Oh dear Leti! Would definitely look better without the collar! Maybe a slightly more floaty blouse to!

QueenOfTheAndals · 02/10/2019 19:18

Kate looked beautiful with the little bit of extra weight pregnancy added to her face. I like the darker chestnut colour and the more voluminous blowout on her too @MotherofPearl but I guess it's more of an evening look.

"Dare I say though that there is a hint of bra strap on the shoulder?"

FGS woman wears bra. Have you come round from your faint Hmm.

thisenglishlife · 02/10/2019 19:24

That's a nice colour @MotherofPearl

I also like these colours, much healthier looking.

Catherine’s dress is gorgeous, the belt is so beautiful. Well played DoC, well played.

If I had to, I’d grudgingly say today’s Meghan trench dress is better than yesterday’s. Whatever though, they’ve had a very successful tour.

QueenOfTheAndals · 02/10/2019 20:11

Yes it seems to have been very successful and she's let her words and actions speak louder than her wardrobe.

Having said that, I'm hoping a gown event is around the corner as I'm craving some proper glamour! There must be some gala or dinner happening soon? What happened to the rumoured state visit?

OP posts:
Wetdogloveshubert · 02/10/2019 20:13

Yes, @SunshineCake, I knew I would elicit that response from someone. I was surprised because Kate is normally so well tucked in everywhere. Hey ho.

@thisenglishlife it's interesting to see that selection of pictures - there's been some experimentation! Having never dyed my hair before, those pictures do make it look tempting!

JaimeBronde · 02/10/2019 20:29

Kate's dress is gorgeous & I love those earrings,

Ninkaninus · 02/10/2019 20:34

I really want Kate to go for a modern lob! I think it’d look fab on her.

itswinetime · 02/10/2019 20:53

The next definite gown tiara event I can think off is the diplomatic reception in December!! But that is ages away and I'm not sure if Meghan and Harry would attend?

I guess the next state visit might depend a bit on who we want to suck up to most post brexit??

QueenOfTheAndals · 02/10/2019 20:55

The new Japanese emperor and empress must be due to visit surely?
