Royal style: the Duel of the Duchesses

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Previous thread

What will tomorrow bring for Kate? Does her love for green know no end?

And Thursday night sees the return of Meghan! I know she can be polarising so let's stick to just discussing her clothes rather than the intricacies of Megxit. There's plenty of other threads to do that!

I think Meghan looks great. That is such a good colour on her, and her makeup is lovely!

It is a very simple dress but that is her style, and her makeup takes it from day to night, imo. I like the fact that’s she’s stayed true to herself for this - keeping it simple, as she so often has. Will miss seeing her style.

I think we will see a lot of her style going forward and it will be way better than when she felt constrained by royal protocol - real or made up.

I hope so! I don’t much care about the ins and outs and politics of it all - I just want some pretty dresses and shoes and bags. And shiny things.

Does that make me terrible?

Meghan who?

Have we got any gown/tiara events coming up?

I'm in the minority as I feel the makeup is quite heavy and the dress is very unflattering.

And that's all I can say without sounding bitchy so I'll leave it at that.

I don't like the make up, I like the dress, shoes and bag but I feel the dress could be a better fit round her waist.

I really like this dress and, as always, her shoes are lovely. I think her make up is a little heavy but she looks beautiful.

I think she and Kate are both a bit heavy handed with the blusher/bronzer and she tends to put highlighter over it too. Combine that with flash photography and it can look a bit much!

As I said upthread Meghan looks so "polished"
She truly is beautiful.
Amazing when you see pictures of her as a young teenager. She was quite ordinary.
She certainly turned into a swan.
I used to hope I would

I'd like to know what lipstick she's wearing tonight, it's a gorgeous colour.

Love MMs dress. Gorgeous colour.

Bean I think a lot of us could probably 'blossom' into swans if we had the budgets/help the stars have access to!! I mean think of it - employees to do everything for you, the top dental care/advice, makeup artists, stylists etc.

That said both the DoS and DoC are very photogenic, especially the DoS. I honestly can't think of a bad photo I've ever seen of her.

The dress is too plain although the colour is nice; the pony tail also adds to the effect but the make up is too much. Mixed messages.

I love Kate doing sporty things, she's so game and really shines at that sort of event.

Love Meghan's camel coat, she beautiful and Harry looks sharp.

In the blue dress tonight she looks like she's lost weight but it suits her. Great colour for her I think.

I quite like M's dress, the colour looks brighter in some photos than others but it suits her. Glad to see her hair tied back too. It's a slightly upmarket cabin crew look but perfectly pleasant.

I think her make up is very camera ready. It does make me smile when I see her described as "radiant". I think of that as a natural quality and very far from what we are seeing. She looks nice though.

Oversized shoes again which means she has to cling to Harry to walk. And those leather soles will be ruined in the rain, sadly.

That dress is dullsville to me.

Now that you've mentioned it I cannot unsee it! All she needs is a scarf tied around her neck. There is an airline with uniforms that colour, I think?

I think Meghan looks stunning. The dress is lovely and really suits her. She is so beautiful.

As for the poster who said Harry looks miserable nowadays - did you look at the photo you posted? He was smiling for goodness sake.

I think that poster was joking @lynsey91

She looks fantastic. The colour of the dress makes the simplicity of the style work and adds glamour.

Meghan has her mojo back style wise imo. These designs suit her. Harry looks happy, must have been a bit nerve wracking for her.

I hope they move forward happily, I cannot wish ill will on one of Diana`s boys.

What an amazing photo

Meghan's dress is a good Colour on her but it's boring and it feels a bit more like a daytime engagement outfit than an evening one to me. The bag looks nice but even the shoes are a bit meh and Meghan normally kills the shoe game. I kind of see why she has gone down this route but I'm a bit disappointed if I'm honest.

Her make is not good tonight her lip colour isn't right not sure why and all in all it looks a bit heavy handed...I wonder if she has had it done as opposed to doing it her self? But maybe it would be different with a more dressy outfit 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not important but my bridesmaids wore that colour. Ive a bit of a girl crush on Meghan.
