The Windsor’s is hilarious!!

mrscampbellblackagain · 26/02/2020 11:28

Just seen kate on insta at an engagement today. I think we need to stage a style intervention Wink

I just love Camilla in the windsors Wink

NarniaBanarnia · 26/02/2020 11:35

Um... I want to find something nice to say about kate’s black dress... I really like the bracelet length sleeves!!!

Agree that black tweed and sparkly shoes is a combo that just doesn’t work, though the shoes are nice in and of themselves.

QueenOfTheAndals · 26/02/2020 11:48

Kate at a Sport Aid event today. Green top, black culottes, white trainers.

Queen, I think that's all that can be said about that outfit! Come on Kate, I look better than that on the school run. Has she sacked her stylist or something?

Is Camilla behind this 😉

SenecaFallsRedux · 26/02/2020 12:33

I just love Camilla in the windsors

It's not available in the US, but I was able to see some clips on YouTube, and Camilla definitely is the funniest. It's interesting to me that both in Tracey Ullman's portrayal and in the Windsors (from what I have seen) portrayals of Camilla actually manage to come off as somewhat flattering in a weird way.

BlingLoving · 26/02/2020 13:02

ooh, I have a green jumper top that I think is similar.

it doesn't look quite so good on me....

whitershadeofpale · 26/02/2020 13:13

I didn't mind today's outfit. The green suits her and she was running and being active so it was practical. Better than skinnies anyway.

QueenOfTheAndals · 26/02/2020 13:21

Yes, today's outfit is entirely appropriate for the event.

hopeishere · 26/02/2020 13:25

I think she is just so up and down that some outfits just don't look great on her - she has no waist. So while those green pieces are individually nice it looks a bit odd. A patterned top might have been better. Or just proper sportswear?

I liked the black dress and shoes and loved that bag but it was a bit of a random combination - the dress did look like it had a sparkly thread running through it though so maybe it worked more in real life.

However, she does enter into everything with gusto!

Re last night. Did you see how the others were dressed, trainers and casual, if anything Kate was uber over dressed compared to them.

I think Kate's looks entirely appropriate today; she can dress the outfit up with different shoes if necessary later today. Her trainers are M&S apparently.

Disfordarkchocolate · 26/02/2020 14:02

I think Catherine looks fan today, it looks good in motion too.

Disfordarkchocolate · 26/02/2020 14:02

Fab not fan. Good I'm not with it today.

mrscampbellblackagain · 26/02/2020 14:04

I think proper sports gear too. She could have sent sweaty Betty sales through the roof

itswinetime · 26/02/2020 14:13

Today's outfit is 100% appropriate and shape/fit wise I like it on her. I'm just not a fan of the 2 almost the same but slightly different shades of green it's complete nit picking I know but I t doesn't look right to me either they should be the same colour or different!

Did you see how the others were dressed, trainers and casual, if anything Kate was uber over dressed compared to them.

I think that photo is the cast. Audience members (that I can see from the video) were dressed up, but more in the vein of William and Kate, no cocktail attire, etc. so I would say she was dressed appropriately.

QueenOfTheAndals · 26/02/2020 14:51

That photo is hilarious @itswinetime, she looks like she's going power walking!

banivani · 26/02/2020 15:04

I like the Epinone dress (don't love visible buttons myself but nonetheless). I also like that it seems a local London brand sort of so she's choosing designers with care. I looked up the homepage now and I love loads of their things.

I think that green outfit for the sports is fancy leasure wear done great! Relaxed, fluid, active.

Those pictures of Estelle posted about are gorgeous. THe dress is from Bonpoint and costs about 700 pounds, which tried to become a scandal but couldn't because no-one in Sweden is prepared to be critical of a child's clothes Grin

partygamer · 26/02/2020 15:19

These are the M&S trainers Kate is wearing today.

I'd have bought them if they were leather!

thisenglishlife · 26/02/2020 16:55

Yay, a ponytail! No... culottes!

Zara culottes (too flappy to run in!)
Green ribbed jumper
Smythe blazer
Marks & Spencer trainers

I love how Kate is so engaged with everything she does.

mrscampbellblackagain · 26/02/2020 17:25

Agree she is so engaged and she really is fab at getting stuck in at sporty events.

With the navy blazer she is giving me Wimbledon vibes. It makes the outfit worse for me! The colours are all just a big wrong.

She is always very engaged and it's nice when the royals get involved in what is going on.
