Royal style: fewer new frocks, more old rocks

Melania looks like Tweetiepie...

Is Melania's outfit a coat, a cape or a dress? I can't work out whether some of it is removed for dinner (leaving a purple dress with very tight sleeves?) or whether that's what it's meant to look like as a dress.

Either way I don't like it.

Melania is dressed like a villain from a comic book

It doesn't make any more sense when you see her in motion either.

Just saw them leaving Downing St, they are such joyless miserable bastards aren't they? No amount of lovely clothes can cover up the unhappiness that radiates from the pair of them.

I like melania’s shoes.
That cape looks like a joke.

What the hell is Camilla wearing too?

At least Melania didn’t go the full Handmaid.

Camilla looks like she's wearing a skater dress from Dorothy Perkins or something. Not elegant at all.

Oh Melania! That is epic!

Max bringing her radiance to,a child cancer hospital

Letizia in a fabulous coat

Melania looks like a superhero today - very flamboyant and fun. She is a brave lady lol! A definite conversation piece.

Love and adore Leti's black coat.

I also love this photo of Princess Anne and Angela Merkel - I sense mutual respect here, and mutual recognition of women who are not especially glamorous but just get on with the job, efficiently and without a fuss.

Melania! 😲 I do like Leticia's coat though - very elegant.

*Letizia's coat, flippin' autocorrect. 🙄

Melania certainly catches the eye with the cape and I'm slowly warming to it!!

Princess Anne looks very smart even though her outfit might be decades old.

My hair always looks like Princess Anne’s when I put it in a ponytail. What am I doing wrong?

I guess Anne's hair is just a bit... bouffant? Better than plastered down CPV-style, in my book.

I suspect you may be right @MotherofPearl

That's a good photo @MotherofPearl though let's not forget that Anne was very stylish in her youth. And Angela Merkel has surprisingly good taste in evening wear!

"Duchess Kate". Urgh. Why do the Americans mangle titles like that? It's as irritating as "Prime Minster May".

Well Melania seems to be the only one who made an effort, the others just seem to have reached for the closest thing in their wardrobe. What a dreary lot they are this evening.

HMQ is looking remarkably well for someone who is alleged to have died last week!

Not loving any of the outfits tonight. Melania's outfit is as ridiculous as her husband. Well, almost.

Melania looks like she’s going to shout BAT! and take off a la What We Do In The Shadows.

Disappointed in those outfits evening event = gowns and jewels does no one read the hand book anymore

Let's hope they let the cameras in to the diplomatic reception then otherwise I think I may start a revolution feels like ages since we had any jewels on show!
