Royal Style without our Queen ( of the Andals )

Sadly QueenoftheAndals has decided to bow out and not create any more Royal Style and Beauty threads SadSadSad
I'm really hoping she'll reconsider.
Are any of the regular posters interested in continuing her great work ?

I can only post one at a time.

Of the dark blue dresses posted by @thisenglishlife I like the JP with the black middle the best. I think she really suits that deep shade of blue.

@BlingLoving, I love that mock Fergie AIBU post! Grin I think she seems fun and jolly but doesn't always seem to have much self-awareness, or be a very good judge of character.

I'm okay with Meghan's white top but it's not my best colour on her - or at least not on its own like that.

RomaineCalm · 05/06/2020 20:15

I love the blue Canada dress although I agree with PP that I don't think it's Kate's best colour. The Wickstead dress is lovely but (like so many of her dresses) I wish it was just an inch longer.

RomaineCalm · 05/06/2020 20:24

Just had a wander through Kate's Trooping the Colour outfits...

I finally have an Erdem dress that I like!

It's nice, but a bit mother of the Bride @RomaineCalm (and she was only 30 in 2012!)

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 05/06/2020 20:54

That Erdem dress you posted Romaine is gorgeous, but then I like Erdem even the mustard sofa dress.

My favourite darker blue outfit is the Emilia Wickstead with belt. Emphasise's Kate's figure & the skirt length shows off her gorgeous legs.

Meghan has such a beautifully symmetrical face. I would love to see her wear her hair down in it's natural way rather then always tied back or straight. But then it's her hair & she can wear it however she wants & likes.
All the Royal women have gorgeous hair even when they style it themselves.

AdaColeman · 05/06/2020 20:57

Kate has some super hats!

thisenglishlife · 05/06/2020 21:27

I made a collage of Kate's Trooping the Colour outfits - what is your favourite? (2011 is definitely the worst).

I think either the 2013 retro style McQueen pink coat with pearl buttons or the 2018 McQueen plain blue dress.

English still the Erdem in 2012 followed by the 2016 outfit.
I like the shape & style of the 2017 frock but the colour is vile.

RomaineCalm · 05/06/2020 21:57

Thank you for the collage thisenglishlofe. I still like the Erdem but also the 2013 pink coat dress and the 2018 blue dress. She has some of the most amazing hats though and I wish I had the style and the opportunity to wear hats like that.

itswinetime · 05/06/2020 22:18

See collages like that remind me what frustrates me about Kate each one bar 2011 Wink have great bits but something wrong the 2019 was a great cut but the colour was wrong. 2018 is a better colour but I'm not a fan of the neckline/puffed sleeves and so on and so on

Horsemad · 05/06/2020 22:31

2014, 2016 and 2019 for me. 🙂

MotherofPearl · 05/06/2020 22:31

See I quite like 2019, even the colour.
I'm afraid I really detest 2014.

LadyEloise · 06/06/2020 00:04

I love 2012, I really love 2013 and I like 2018.

I didn't realise HM's wedding shoes were quite so blingy that! The sole of Diana's were gorgeous.

Ah now you see I really like the 2011 Trooping outfit! Really don’t like 2018 - the fabric looks cheap to me (I know it wasn’t!) and don’t like the neckline. Also think 2015 is awful, like an old ladies’ housecoat.

Love that we all have such different views on fashion.

Long-time enjoyer of and occasional commenter on these threads, very sorry to see Queen bow out although understand her reasons, I’m also spending far too much time on SM in lockdown. Thank you for stepping up and creating a new thread LadyEloise

LadyEloise · 06/06/2020 10:33

Thank you @Hairydilemma
I loved the threads and was disappointed that I hadn't been able to thank* @QueenoftheAndals* for all the enjoyment the threads gave me ( and to try to persuade her to stay on and continue with the threads ).

NoGravyForYou · 06/06/2020 11:01

I don't like 2012. I like 2013 but I think that's because she is genuinely glowing and so happy in that picture that she couldn't look bad.
I like 2017 and 2019. I actually love the yellow from 2019.
Alll the pale blue satiny type things make her look a bit frumpy

latedecember1963 · 06/06/2020 11:05

I like the Jenny Packham dress with the black belt and the pink 2017 Trooping the Colour outfit. Your collages are so clever, Thisenglishlife. 🤗

LadyEloise · 06/06/2020 11:28

"Your collages are so clever, Thisenglishlife"
I agree @latedecember1963.

My new fave tiara is the Swedish Six Button Tiara. I tried to post this last night but after repeated attempts I gave up. Then I had a dream that I bought it and wore it around the house.
