The buttons on the coat are a bit much for me but perhaps that's in fashion right now.

To be fair to Kate, she isn't the first royal to don green on arriving in Ireland. HM did it in 2011 and Meghan in 2018.

Well that's about a close to a leprechaun as she could get. And holey moley those are pretty earrings but dear god the price!

TheWordmeister · 03/03/2020 15:57

I bet her fecking knickers are green too

😂😂

I am going to write to her and offer to be her stylist for free. I have no experience but can do so much better than whatever blind loon is advising her.

Sack the stylist.

Disfordarkchocolate · 03/03/2020 16:01

I don't like the coat but I love the outfit underneath. If only I was less frog-shaped and richer!

Gooseysgirl · 03/03/2020 16:03

I actually like the coat... but if this was MM she would be getting slated for not rewearing one of her other gazillion green coats. Here's a pic with Sabina...

Well Sabina look gorgeous! Love her necklace

JayAlfredPrufrock · 03/03/2020 16:20

I am no fashionista and usually accept what Kate wears but bloody hell that dress is awful.

Does she even have a stylist?

NoGravyForYou · 03/03/2020 16:23

Sorry @thisenglishlife and @itswinetime, I always get your usernames mixed up 🙈 Honestly that picture itswinetime posted would have been sooo much better than what she wore today. Hopefully we will see something interesting this evening.

iknowimcoming · 03/03/2020 16:25

Was about to say it looks like something Princess Anne would have worn a few decades ago, it seems I'm not the only one! She should keep the coat on! Makes me a bit fearful for tonight's outfit!

CanIHaveATiaraPlease · 03/03/2020 16:28

The coat buttons are very 80’s/90’s.

QueenOfTheAndals · 03/03/2020 16:28

I think when Meghan visited in 2018 her green skirt and top looked like clothes whereas this verges on costume, IYKWIM? But perhaps that's the intention 🤷🏻‍♀️

Maybe Kate is taking re-wears to extremes and has had a rummage through Anne's wardrobe! 😁

I normally only lurk on this thread but had to post and ask what is the DoC wearing? It’s hideous. Who advised her that was a good look?

QueenOfTheAndals · 03/03/2020 16:37

In that case maybe she'll wear one of these tonight @latedecember1963!

Yikes! No, Kate... Why?! It looks like something that should have been burnt in the 1980s. Did she borrow it from Fergie?

All green everything? (My Irish side is slightly offended). Puffball sleeves? Lettuce print? Pleats? Front splits on the skirt? Too long coat, big buttons on the coat, the unnecessary button on the top (zoom in).

Her hair looks nice.

That would be so funny, QueenOfTheAndals.
It's not as bad as the harlequin outfit once worn by the Queen. I don't know how to crop pictures so I'll have to leave the image as it is.

It. Is. Sodding. Hideous.

theschoolonthehill · 03/03/2020 16:58

She looks even worse than her usual frumpy look today. She looks comical. The woman has no sense of style whatsoever. Apart from everything that is awful about the dress, the cost is far too long.

eggandonion · 03/03/2020 16:59

I wonder if the queen gets fed up with white evening dresses, and just went for it!

paradyning · 03/03/2020 17:00

Fully agree @theschoolonthehill
Except the earrings and hair are nice.

The dress is a fright.
How can somebody so lovely as Kate with her figure, looks etc manage to look like Mary Hick ????

Weather still nice in Dublin.

TobyeBella · 03/03/2020 17:02

Like the green coat, but don't think she needed another one. Don't like the dress, especially the top part. I like her shoes and her hair looks good.

This is a lovely photo of her though.

mistermagpie · 03/03/2020 17:04

Wow... that's a dress and a half... It's awful! There is literally not one nice thing to say about it.

I like the coat though, but she hardly needed a new one. The shades of green on the bag and coat don't work at all though.

That dress though. Come on Kate!!
