Royal style: forget all your stresses as we talk royal dresses

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Previous thread

Now. A request. Can we please keep this to critiquing the clothes rather than the wearer?

So if you want to talk about what Meghan's wearing then fine, go ahead. I'm not even saying you have to like everything she wears. This applies to all royal women - if you don't like an outfit then do feel free to say so.

But if you want to talk about "Megxit" then please go to one of the many many other MN threads about it and leave us to our clothes chatter!

Dress by Zara. Tweedy so I wasn't far off!

Is the coat McQueen? I don't like the coat or the dress. The boob flaps are all wrong. Boring colour.

Ooooo I've just spotted the handbag!! Best thing about the whole outfit 😍

I really like this blue/gold outfit on Maxima. She looks lovely.

I like the coat , not the dress. She must be freezing, both coat and dress look quite thin, or perhaps she has some thermals under?

Whoever asked about the earrings,

BUT... is she wearing tights???

I’m not convinced by Kate’s dress. Pattern + neck tie + voluminous sleeves. It’s a bit much. Not the greatest colour on her either.

I like the length/cut of the coat, but the flaps make it a fail. I was also hoping for a brighter colour - not that there is anything especially wrong with dark green.

Apparently not Queen ! Kate is rebelling it seems.

🤣no tights! Good on her.

The dress isn’t my favourite either it also looks more like a costume than an outfit.

Although maybe that’s how she feels at the moment or is batshit either possible.

I like this shade of Green is it moss? Lichen?

In fairness that dress is like something Mary Whitehouse would have worn.

She definitely veered too much into costume for me today.

👎

Kate's outfit has left me feeling a bit underwhelmed.

Perhaps it's because I had a royal dream last night, where in Bradford William actually was coronated complete with Crown Jewels and Kate was wearing a beautiful purple and green channel tweed twin set. 🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️🤷🏻‍♀️

Anyway, I do like the cut of William's coat and I like the length of Kate's, though I agree the flaps are very unflattering.

No tights in January, goodness me! Is that the sound of pearls being crushed I hear?

I like today's coat, shoes and bag. Not so keen on the dress.

Quite like the dress. Good hair today. Earrings are from the visit to the Aga Khan Centre I think.

Delurking to share that I accidentally snorted my tea out sniggering at
A) Kate's black and shite dress
B) the boob flaps
C) frankenboot.

That's all. I'll slink back into the shadows now!

is batshit either possible.

Nooo! I’m not THAT rude, I meant I might be Batshit (and wrong) not her!

@pallisers For bra fitting, I have had good luck with Soma. They are a national brand so there may be one near you. Before that, I went to a large department store that is no longer in business, but I think one that has a decent lingerie department that carries some of the higher end brands like Wacoal would be a good bet.

You beat me to it, Nogravyforyou, I was just about to say how smart William's coat looks. 😊

But alas the flaps.

@paradyning, this wins the thread for me, though @QueenOfTheAndals's 'black and shite' is up there too.

The handbag is beautiful. I think it's Aspinal of London Mayfair bag. I want one.

For what it's worth I'm not crazy about Kate's outfit today, especially the dress which is too fussy. Shoes and bag are nice. Don't care about tights one way or the other!

Don’t like any of her outfit. Shoes are clunky and dull. She looks frozen.

Max looks great in that skirt and top - beautiful fabrics.
