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

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!

Maybe not quite what we expect the Royals to wear but apt for the above mentioned drink

Gianvito Rossi shoes are v comfortable & fairly classic. I’ve had a pair for 6 ½ years and they still look fine (obviously not worn around Tesco’s).

That black dress on Kate is lovely, but it looks like quite heavy fabric which makes me think it would look better with sleeves.

QueenOfTheAndals · 17/01/2020 17:24

But then she wouldn't have been able to put on the gun show!

Ah very true 😁

Love the shoes.

Rumour that M&H have bought a property on the island. So had a google this one would be perfect with guest cottages for security.

Thanks @Thisenglishlife .
It's a beautiful dress.

Rhubarbisevil · 17/01/2020 18:42

I am going to get DCs to enter the Radio 2 500 words story competition and quite clearly they will win each category. The problem is what shall I wear to Buckingham Palce in June? I don’t want to look like I am going to a wedding.

First World Problems

I usually like what Kate wears but I'm not terribly keen on her in ankle straps. I have the same problem, my legs aren't long enough and are a bit too muscly for them. They look fine on her under a long dress but seem to chop her legs up a bit in anything shorter.

That's good to know @BigGreenOlives They look beautiful

With ankle straps I think you need fitted shorter length dress a bit more flirty than the dress DOC is wearing.

paradyning · 17/01/2020 19:52

The shoes don't go with the dress and the necklace is awful.

Thisenglishlife · 17/01/2020 20:03

I didn't like that pearl set either.

What do we think of these emeralds?

The emeralds are amazing.
Kate's make up looks different in that photo - very glowy. I wonder was it a professional make up artist who did it. I think Kate is known to often do her own make up for events.

Inniu TheHairyBaby tshirts are great. Smile

queenofarles · 17/01/2020 20:15

No don’t like the emerald set either, but she looks stunning with a fuller face, was she pregnant with Charlotte or Louis?

I love Gianvito Rossi shoes, I have the pumps in 7 shades Blush,

QueenOfTheAndals · 17/01/2020 20:15

I think she was pregnant then @beanaseireann, which might've helped with the glow! Also she looks so lovely when her face is slightly fuller.

You must be a women of impeccable taste @queenofarles then.

It was Baftas 2018, so it would have been Louis. It was the year all the female attendees were encouraged to wear black for Time's Up.

NoGravyForYou · 17/01/2020 20:26

Do you make all these collages yourself @Thisenglishlife?

queenofarles · 17/01/2020 20:43

thisenglishlife these two are my favourite , years old but still in great condition. Go with absolutely everything!

Omg @queenofarles I am soooo jealous. Love the shade of the green ones.

paradyning · 17/01/2020 20:54

Can we see more? Grin

paradyning · 17/01/2020 21:20

Re: Kate's emeralds. They themselves are incredible but I don't like the setting of the necklace. Much prefer HM's setting.

MotherofPearl · 17/01/2020 21:23

Damn you @queenofarles, you made me go on the Gianvito Rossi website. There is a sale on...

queenofarles · 17/01/2020 21:24

Why not paradyning! Grin
these are the Loud ones, in my defence , I was heavily pregnant When I bought the tangerine ones and probably not thinking straight.

They're great @queenofarles especially the bright ones, wonderful choice of colours all round.

Some are mine and some are not @NoGravyForYou I have a collage app and it takes about 30-60 seconds to make a collage.
