Why has William done such an awful tie knot? Leo’s is far better

MotherofPearl · 03/03/2020 19:24

Just catching up on today's abomination fashion. Good grief, that dress could not be any more hideous. You've all said it all already so I won't rehash.

Fingers crossed for this evening's outfit.

QueenOfTheAndals · 03/03/2020 19:47

This is an improvement! Is that a Vampire's Wife dress? It's not a brand I ever thought we'd see on Kate.

Ooh... it's The Vampire's Wife tonight. Still green 🤦🏻‍♀️, but much better IMHO.

I have only seen video so far, no stills. And my, the flashes from the cameras outside the Guinness building - extraordinary. Blinding!

Off to hunt for a pic.

QueenOfTheAndals · 03/03/2020 19:51

It's similar to one Beatrice has worn but I think the cut of Kate's dress is better.

Are the photos I posted on my previous post not displaying then @DevonUkelele?

Cross-post Queen, you were ahead of me.

Twitter says TVW.

Here is footage of them arriving for camera flash overload: twitter.com/byqueenvic/status/1234925389505540096?s=21

TheWordmeister · 03/03/2020 19:55

More green though - she's such a cliche.

It's an improvement but not great.

theschoolonthehill · 03/03/2020 19:58

Tonight’s is an improvement - it had to be really, but I don’t think that style is particularly suited to Kate’s figure tbh.

NoGravyForYou · 03/03/2020 19:59

It's a nice enough dress, the green is going to get a bit boring soon though if she doesn't change it up!

Kateplaysrugbyinmydreams · 03/03/2020 20:02

Love the vampires wife dress. That's a bold step. The other dress and coat need to get Coronavirus and be quarantined quick.

mrscampbellblackagain · 03/03/2020 20:02

I like her new hair length - I also liked the alessandra Rich dress - not the coat though. But she does look so happy and engaged!

The vampires wife dress is good - would love her to have rocked up in the leather version they did though Wink

MotherofPearl · 03/03/2020 20:03

Mmmm. An improvement but I'm not really keen on that flounced hem. In some ways it reminds me of this monstrosity from the Sweden tour. Sorry!

Tonight is better I agree the shade of green is much better and no pattern. I'm not a fan of the frilly cuffs and hem.... I'm not a fan of it being all green again....I'm not sure the bag goes and the shoes are just meh... not bad but not fabulous.

Hair is good and I do think she has changed something makeup wise recently which is good

alliwantisagoodnightssleep · 03/03/2020 20:09

I’m in the minority. I actually like the dress from this morning. This may show that I have no taste or fashion credentials.

QueenOfTheAndals · 03/03/2020 20:09

I think she looks great and really glowing tonight. Yes it's green but at least it isn't boring and the brand is a departure for her. I suspect it's the closest she'll ever come to "edgy".

But if she comes out in green again tomorrow then people might think she's taking the piss!

You can pre-order the dress if you have a spare £1595.

William looks good.

More green? Guinness? I like the dress minus the sleeve cuffs and flouncey hem.

I think it's this one - thevampireswife.com/products/the-falconetti-emerald-metallic-silk-dress?gclid=EAIaIQobChMIhNiNqI__5wIVhLHtCh39eAZ-EAQYAiABEgJsPPD_BwE

I love the evening dress but then I’m a sucker for green!

^^yes, yes.

WHAT is she wearing!!!!!!

beanaseireann · 03/03/2020 20:27

I really like the second dress on Kate.
She looks great in it.
She is getting very like her Mum with the shorter hair.

AngelaScandal · 03/03/2020 20:38

Steps off an Aer Lingus flight looking like Aer Lingus cabin crew.

Yes! I spent ages looking at her make up. She has toned down the blusher and eyeliner and maybe lightened her foundation too. It is very nice esp in winter.

QueenOfTheAndals · 03/03/2020 20:39

@Boscoismyspiritanimal Well she already has a BA uniform...

The photo of Kate in Sweden posted by motherofpearl is a stark reminder of the abomination that is ankle strap shoes- even on shapely legs like Kate's - they almost give her cankles. Smile
That blue dress she wore in Sweden is ghastly.
Who designed it ?
