Hello - let's hope we get a bit more glamour this year and fingers crossed for some tiara watching....

Get well soon, Frugalkitty. 🌻
I liked the pompom dress too and the blue dress where she and Harry were walking through the rain. I also liked a white dress she wore on the Australian tour that had a sprinkling of birds or butterflies kn the skirt.

Just looked it up and realised I hadn't described it very accurately but this is the one I meant. As a child this would have epitomized a princess dress for me.

Is it this one @latedecember1963?

Oops x post!
Now that is a proper Princess dress!

Maireas · 07/03/2021 20:34

I just loved that Oscar de la Renta dress. I also liked the one with lemons on that she wore recently. I always think they are a departure for Meghan - wasn't it someone on here who dubbed her Monochrome Meg?
The white dress with the shoulder detail is very elegant.

Thank you, TracyBeaker! I'm normally useless at attaching pictures, but for once it worked.
I liked lots of Meghan's outfits because she didn't always stick to a formula.
I also loved the Strathberry (?) handbags she used. One was green and I think there may have been a maroon one too.

frugalkitty · 07/03/2021 20:52

Thanks all, I'm not poorly just struggling with a bad back (and grumpy with it), so sadly the only Hottie I'm currently interested is of the hot water variety! Grin

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 07/03/2021 20:54

Ooh Strathberry handbags! I'm saving up for one. Might take me a little while as I end up spending money on other things instead.

I don't know frugal making a Crown Prince feel unwanted & unloved & replaced by a rubber bag 🤣

frugalkitty · 07/03/2021 20:58

This was my idea of a princess dress when I was little, I think this was 81/82 when Diana was pregnant with William but it's just so dreamy!

Well Tracy there's not room in my pj bottoms for both types of hottie.....more's the pity! Grin

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 07/03/2021 21:03

That Diana dress is beautiful!

Is this the lemon dress @Maireas

And I'll stop taking over with the pictures & let you all have a chance.
I just get carried away at times Smile

That lemon dress looks like Per Una to me.
To be fair Tracy we have been rather fashion deprived for the last year! It's nice to have some pictures to look at.

latedecember1963 · 07/03/2021 21:14

Ooh, that Diana dress was beautiful!

MotherofPearl · 07/03/2021 21:38

Thanks for all the Meghan fashion photos; nice to look back at her outfits. I've attached three of my favourites. I also like the green leather skirt and green silk blouse already posted.

Harsh words about Per Una, frugal! We all know there's no worse fashion insult! Grin Hope your back feels better soon.

Don't apologise for your picture skills, @TracyBeakerSoYeah!! Much appreciated, and @MotherofPearl (and everyone else) as well! I remember that dress of Diana's, @Frugalkitty, she really revived romantic dressing.

I read something the other day about the Emmanuels who designed Diana's wedding dress, apparently Mrs is saying that she did all the designing but Mr has been taking all the credit for all these years and his role was basically managing the shop. Quite interesting.

Maireas · 07/03/2021 22:35

Last I heard, David Emanuel was designing for Bon Marche. Didn't their design business go bankrupt?

I've been falling off the internet a bit --- but my god wasn't it refreshing with a full size glamorous photo there (CPV)! Good on ya woman.

I'd love a link on David Emanuel's wife being the real designer and also him designing for Bon Marché. (I'm not a fan of him for absolutely no rational reason.)

Maireas · 08/03/2021 10:34

Hello @banivani - David Emanuel has designed for Bonmarche for about 9 years, I think he opened one of their stores. Lots for sale on ebay!
I have no idea about his ex wife and the Diana dress or who designed what.

Thanks Maireas, had a gander.

didn't seem like very interesting clothes, but I'll stop snarking now

RomainingCalm · 08/03/2021 14:19

LateDecember beat me to it with the black and white dress - that's one of my favourites. I like the blue cape dress as well.

Saying that, these are some of the outfits that I love on Meghan - bold/block colours and simple lines and tailoring.

It's not the best shot as I took it from the video on IG but how lovely to see Kate in something a little different

Royal Style - more tiaras please for 2021 (maybe no more crocs)
TracyBeakerSoYeah · 08/03/2021 18:28

Kate does look nice in that blouse.
I've not seen Meghan in that red long dress before, it really suits her & is a gorgeous dress & colour.
