It looks worse on...I didn't think that was possible!

pallisers · 03/03/2020 14:44

jesus that is bad.

CurlyWurlyToo · 03/03/2020 14:50

Just popping by to say; that dress is very - ahem - busy

Kate also has some new £17k diamond earrings

Spudlet · 03/03/2020 14:50

Wowzers.

NoGravyForYou · 03/03/2020 14:51

In an attempt to be positive, I really like Kate's hair today. It's not so big and I actually like the headband as well.

latedecember1963 · 03/03/2020 14:52

I think either the blouse or the skirt with a plain skirt or blouse would have been ok. For me the pattern of the top and skirt together overpowers her. I would also have gone for a darker green clutch bag as the match she has gone for doesn't work.

TokyoSushi · 03/03/2020 14:54

Oh my, and now we all know that there is indeed such a thing as 'too much green!'

Is there an evening event today?

ItsJustTheOneSwanActually · 03/03/2020 14:54

Bliley Kate that's quite a frock. I usually think she looks lovely. I can't think of a nice thing to say about that Blush

Oh well, we moan she's boring sometimes. Maybe this is to teach us a lesson Grin

frugalkitty · 03/03/2020 14:58

Oh dear. I have no words. (Other than when I saw the pics it did cross my mind that she might have green undies on too.....).honestly, too much green!

FawnDrench · 03/03/2020 14:58

I've got vertigo from all the verdancy!
It's too much.

QueenOfTheAndals · 03/03/2020 15:01

At least she's given us something to talk about!

I’ve changed my mind. It’s not Mrs Thatcher. It’s Valerie Jones! 😮

pallisers · 03/03/2020 15:04

Oh well, we moan she's boring sometimes. Maybe this is to teach us a lesson grin

yeah but it manages to be wrong and frumpy at the same time.

She always looks lovely on some level because she is an attractive woman with a lovely figure for clothes and lovely hair etc. but boy this dress is bad.

eggandonion · 03/03/2020 15:05

The ambassador is hosting a do this evening, for arty and sporty types, I don't know if political types? They usually have Northern Ireland guests too.

AdaColeman · 03/03/2020 15:09

Well QueenOfTheAndals you weren't far wrong in your prediction of Kate's outfit! Forty shades of GREEN!

latedecember1963 · 03/03/2020 15:10

Looking at it again, it's slightly reminiscent of the kind of outfit Princess Anne wore a lot in the late 70s and early 80s.

QueenOfTheAndals · 03/03/2020 15:13

Yes! It's very Princess Anne - perhaps a subtle tribute to her?

If there's a do this evening then let's hope for a decent cocktail frock.

Oh my! I can usually find something nice to say but that dress is pretty bad.

NoGravyForYou · 03/03/2020 15:18

Have we seen the Catherine walker coat? I think I've seen her wear it with a black scarf in one of the collages that itswinetime ( I think 🙈🙈) posts.

TheWordmeister · 03/03/2020 15:19

Oh my. Kate looks an absolute fright today. All that green! The dress is ghastly. And she’s topped it off with the nasty headband which does nothing for her.

Sack the stylist.

QueenOfTheAndals · 03/03/2020 15:31

Didn't she have a maternity cover stylist last year who was better than the usual one? Or did I just make that up?

NoGravyForYou · 03/03/2020 15:32

I do like Sabina's coat though, struggling to find a decent picture of it to show you. It's a lovely navy one.

queenofarles · 03/03/2020 15:33

Too literal.
Im seeing cabbages on the dress Blush. It can’t be just me

Gooseysgirl · 03/03/2020 15:37

All I can say is Jesus Holy Christ my eyes... I bet her fecking knickers are green too 🙄

itswinetime · 03/03/2020 15:40

That rings a bell with me Queen around the time of the angry frog dress and the purple (back to front blouse)

The green coat with the black scarf is this one I think...it doesn't have buttons and obviously this is a button kind of event Grin not me that does the photos though that is thisenglislife
