Royal style: Max and Wax and whacky hats

[QueenOfTheAndals]

Now that the Commonwealth event is nearly over, we have another treat ahead of us. Maxima in Indonesia!

In light of what happened on the previous thread, I'm going to take a leaf out of Elizabeth SMT Holmes' book and say critique the clothes and the styling but not the physical appearances of various royal women.

The £1000 "toffee" polyester dress is totally hideous - it doesn't even look great on the model. I don't know what Meghan was thinking there. She could have reworn the SmartWorks dress - also polyester but only £20.

Re the Toffee polyester dress - Emperor's New Clothes - more money than sense.
Zara looks well but I'm annoyed Cheltenham has gone ahead.
Ridiculous considering the Covid19 virus.

I agree LadyEloise! Seems madness to me.

Max's dress here reminds me of the one Julia Roberts wore in Pretty Woman, only with sleeves. Showing my age there! She always does a good job of carrying off those giant hats.

Leti at a remembrance event in Paris in a very sharp suit - she looks great, and I like her hair up for a change.

Zara's outfit from Cheltenham today. I like it, especially the hat, but I can't look at it too long or my eyes go funny!

Zara does look good there, I agree.

I really don't like that on Zara, it makes her look twice the width she actually is and a bit trussed up.

Nope that's not a look I like on zara. Yesterday's was much better for me

I don't like Zara's outfit, apart from her hat.

It looks like she's borrowed a coat HM wore in the 80s!

I agree the shape does not flatter Zara, I think she looks better in belted coats, whilst perusing the internet looking for mor flattering styles for her I came across the gem of a photo, made me smile!

Aww, cute photo BettyBoo 🙂

Oh dear, Diana had a lot to answer for with some of the coats she put William in! Remember the matching powder blue ones?

It was the 80’s though. He really didn’t look that out of place.

I think Zara’s outfit suffers from being papped too close. Few steps back and it would’ve looked different I suspect.

That’s such a cute photo!

That dress of Max's looks quite.like Meghans but less "quirky"
I love Zara she has inherited her Mum's attitude but she does seem to like being stuffed into her clothes

Meghan in her role as patron of the Association of Commonwealth Universities - navy dress, much better fit

I'm not mad about Zara's style in general. I think she often dresses for someone else's shape - she's got boobs but they often seem squashed in and trussed up in outfits that look uncomfortable.

I really like her hat though! And she does always look happy.

I've just seen Meghan's navy dress on IG, I really like it, soooo much better than the toffee could-have-been-better dress.

Meghan is really loving dresses with "bits" attached to them at the moment.

A million times nicer than the orange/brown dress from yesterday.

The navy dress is nice much better than yesterday's...but I do get cabin crew vibes from the neck scarf.

Love MM's navy dress - she looks fabulous. The toffee number is definitely not one of her finest moments! The shape of Zara's coat today was all wrong - she looked much better yesterday.

Not keen on Zara’s checked coat, it’s the sort of thing my Mother would have worn to go shopping in. Zara’s resemblance to Anne is very striking in that photograph.

I like Meghan's navy dress and the low ponytail with the side parting. It's a very clean and chic look.

Agree re Zara @AudacityOfHope. She looks good in casual stuff but when dressed up her clothes often look constrictive.

Hahaha ... Zara looking like a David Jones bag! Not her best effort.

Nice hat though.

Meg's navy frock was a winner for me. (Not so much the Harpers Bazaar article that went with those pictures 😉 - but that's off-limits for this thread)
