I love those dresses @MotherofPearl. I don't know why she hasn't reworn any of them since. Same for the tweedy Chanel she wore in Paris. If you have some Chanel in your wardrobe then surely you'd want to get a bit more wear out if it?

Maybe she plays dress up in some of these dresses at home? I tend to keep anything nice for 'best', but if EVERYTHING you own is best then maybe you can just wear it daily.

I had another look at that vogue interview with Fergie & I agree with pp. however she was called duchess of pork by the press & her wedding photo shows she’s tiny.

beanaseireann · 14/12/2019 08:43

I like wedges too. A bit of height with comfort.

QueenOfTheAndals · 14/12/2019 08:46

I think it was later that she was nicknamed that, though that doesn't excuse it of course.

Actually... that Chanel 😍!

MotherofPearl · 14/12/2019 09:28

Yes I agree about Zara. She looks good there, but formal wear often makes her look uncomfortable and 'trussed up'.

Disfordarkchocolate · 14/12/2019 10:07

I love the Chanel outfit. She looks fabulous, it's a much more flattering shape than the jackets and flippy skirts that never seem to fit right to me.

AdaColeman · 14/12/2019 10:42

I have to disagree about Zara and formal events, she often looks fantastic. I thought she was fab at Will & Kate's wedding in silver grey with a gorgeous black hat, and she looked lovely at Harry & Meg's wedding in green too. I've liked some of her Ascot looks as well.

Guys I almost bought a Meghan green blouse with a Kate pussy bow today, but caught myself at the last minute. Turns out they're not for people with big boobs!

QueenOfTheAndals · 14/12/2019 13:21

From where @AudacityOfHope? I love that shade of green and am partial to a pussybow too!

I'm almost reluctant to admit it was Per Una!

The material was very cheapo, didn't look great, but it would look better on someone slimmer I'm sure.

FATEdestiny · 14/12/2019 14:38

I wonder if this is the ring with the white coloured stone that she wore this week?

Unfortunately can't do a screen grab of the photo.
I really like it.

The monegasque twins have turned 5. I think he's the image of Charlene and I can see a lot of Stephanie in her.

I’ve really enjoyed reading your posts about favourite Kate outfits Grin sadly I’ve had a lot to do so couldn’t keep up. Will be back later with proper comment 👍

DuchessofWoke · 14/12/2019 20:44

Kate’s always doing that gesture with her hands like she’s showing the size of a fish she recently caught.

frugalkitty · 14/12/2019 20:52

At least she's stopped doing the very awkward looking hand clasp thing she started out with.

MilleniumHallsWalledGarden · 14/12/2019 21:25

Bit late, but here are some of my favourites. I think Kate looks amazing in the pencil cut dress.

That Erdem would've looked better without the ruffle. The vibrant colours looked wonderful on her.

The off the shoulder gown was a good look too but I preferred it with the updo to show off the neckline.

She went through a lace dress phase a few years ago too. Plum and forest green really suit her. Any autumnal shades really.

That Erdem would have looked better in the bin Grin

I don't remember that pencil dress but it looks gorgeous on her. Spot on.

RomaineCalm · 14/12/2019 22:12

I agree that the colours of the Erdem really suited her. Lose the ruffle and an 'up do' and that outfit would have been stunning.

Pupsiecola · 14/12/2019 22:13

This would be in my top 5 Kate outfits. Not a great picture. I love the colours.
