Also the black hair band doesn't go with any of it.

Possible outfit details
Clutch - LK Bennett
Coat - Catherine Walker (new green coat?)
Cabbage dress - Alessandra Rich (nearly £1900[!], the £1,567 price was excluding VAT)
Shoes - Emmy London

Maybe she'll redeem herself with a stunning dress tonight...

I just noticed that she's cut her hair again to the length we were all recently saying suits her. So well played there at least!

I actually like the bag tbf to her....

Yes to the hair cut, I said earlier that I thought the hair was the best part of the outfit. A bit sleeker and less big and bouncy.

eggandonion · 03/03/2020 17:17

They have met Leo and Matt, Matt isn't wearing a tie. Leo's tie looks green/tealish.

Like the shoes but where are the buckles Grin Meghan looks perfect in her outfit, simple, not fussy. Kate is just too Queenie a few decades too soon.

hopeishere · 03/03/2020 17:27

I don't think she looks that frumpy.

However, all green is not necessary and a bit naff and I say that as an Irishwoman.

Her hair looks like she was having a bad hair day so stuck the hat band on to try and make it look better.

QueenOfTheAndals · 03/03/2020 17:36

I liked this photo. Kate looks like a giant and William sitting down is almost the same height as the President!

That’s not a great print on the green dress. Although on the whole it is of a type I associate with English dressing alright (anno 1984 but nevertheless). The literal greenness annoys me a little, these state visits are not sporting events.

QueenOfTheAndals · 03/03/2020 17:39

Leo and Matt are a handsome pair, aren't they?

N0tfinished · 03/03/2020 17:40

WTAF!! Are dresses like that still being made? That is bizarre. She's better pull out 110% glam for this event this evening, or everyone over here will think she's taking the piss...

eggandonion · 03/03/2020 17:48

I like Leo and Matt, I think they'd be great at a dinner party. I wonder what they'll do if Leo gets axed from government (when Leo gets axed...)

TheWordmeister · 03/03/2020 18:05

I now can’t wait to see what she wears tonight. I’ll laugh if it’s more green.

I hope she ditches the Alice band. Nobody looks good in an Alice band.

QueenOfTheAndals · 03/03/2020 18:13

@N0tfinished Not only are they still being made but they cost nearly £2000!

CanIHaveATiaraPlease · 03/03/2020 18:17

I actually don’t dislike the dress hides

FiveTwoFaster · 03/03/2020 18:24

That cannot be a new green coat? Surely not! And that dress was £1500? They totally saw her coming.

I actually reeeeally like Princess Anne’s first outfit...

CarrotVan · 03/03/2020 18:47

That dress thing is hideous. Perhaps she’s borrowed this from the Queen’s archive for later

CarrotVan · 03/03/2020 18:47

@FiveTwoFaster I also like Anne’s first outfit especially with the narrower sleeves

QueenOfTheAndals · 03/03/2020 18:48

Is HM sporting...bare arms??Shock

Dear lord, that’s a bad dress. With such a lot going on:

  • pattern
  • pleats
  • buttons
  • high neck
  • puffy sleeves
  • length
  • peplum top thing

The earrings are nice - but £17k!?

Lovely pix too of them all walking in the garden with ... erm, I’m going to get it wrong ... the President? And his wife. They look pretty cool.

Yes, the President Michael D Higgins and his wife Sabina. She looks lovely.

DevonUkelele · 03/03/2020 18:51

Hmmm, random bold/punctuation/asterisks there. Sorry!

I actually think Kate would look quite good in that pink satin and long skirt of Anne's that Queen posted (sans shoulder pads, of course). I bet Anne still has it tucked away somewhere.

DevonUkelele · 03/03/2020 18:53

Thanks hopeishere.

The dog looked delightful too - have seen them before but there was only one today and s/he seemed to be lapping up the attention.
