I like HHQ's outfit for Trooping the Colour. I'm so used to seeing her in bright colours that it makes a lovely change to see her in soft grey.

gingercat02 · 12/06/2021 12:28

I think it's the same outfit she wore to the State opening of parliament. Can't find any decent photos. I presume the people at the side of the courtyard were the other royals?
Sad to see how frail HM and the Duke of Kent are.

@TriSarahTops

Were you thinking of this one *@Maireas*?
That's a nice one! No, I think it was Roksanda and a slimline with white detail.

I manage to miss what she wore to the Opening of Parliament so I don't know if it's the same. If so it's unusual for her to re-wear so soon.

DigOutThoseLemonHandWipes · 12/06/2021 13:04

I've just googled the state opening and it does seem to be the same but it look quite purply at parliament where as it look grey on TV today but in a couple of today's photos it look very blue. It must be magic fabric!

KillingMeDeftly · 12/06/2021 13:12

This on Twitter made me laugh. She looks like she's spotted someone running off with her best silver service. A beam it is not!

There's a super video of Her Maj cutting the G7 cake with a ceremonial sword instead of the proffered knife. She doesn't quite manage it, and Camilla steps in to help.

That first slice of cake will taste of Brasso, I wonder who it was served to? Probably Macron!
Then she gives the sword back, blade first!

She did beam a few times but that ain't one of them! 😁
LadyEloise · 12/06/2021 14:17

I think the Queen has spotted you know who in the crowd !

Maireas · 12/06/2021 14:27

@AdaColeman - laughing at the cake tasting of Brasso! She must be handy with a sword, all that knighting over the years.

I love this green dress on Letizia, who's been visiting the Alhambra. She is #posturegoals

We need to petition the G7 countries to admit Spain and the Netherlands. Then Leti and Max could attend!

I've missed you guys!
Leti looks fabulous in that green dress, like her casual dress too.
Max looks brilliantly and joyfully bonkers as usual!
I like Jill Biden's style and I must be in the minority really liking Carrie's fashion choices.

JayAlfredPrufrock · 12/06/2021 17:56

Kate should have worn something like Letizia’s dress.

Eaumyword · 12/06/2021 17:58

I agree, Kate would look great in Leti's style of dresses.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 12/06/2021 18:13

Leti's dress is gorgeous & would definitely suit Kate (hint hint)
Added a few more pics so you can see it front on & sat down.
It looks very swishy
It's by Maje & a rewear from last year

It has sold out but I've find similar by Maje available at The OutNet although in different colours

Oh dear, that Erdem. Reminds me of a long party dress I had in the 70s which was already a hand-me-down then

Maireas · 12/06/2021 22:04

Good work as per, @TracyBeakerSoYeah!
I'm going to dissent here, I normally like Maje, but not this green dress. I don't like the handkerchief hem, and the top/cross wrap part doesn't sit properly and gapes. That drives me mad. Anyway, if anyone can pull it off, Leti can!

Not rocking Carrie's Mariachi outfit this afternoon

ApplyWithin · 13/06/2021 00:02

I read a comment somewhere else that Carrie looked like a toy soldier. Mean maybe but it gave me a laugh.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 13/06/2021 00:19

Carrie in her Mariachi toy soldier outfit Smile
I like the style & love the colour but not keen on the side stripe.
I like how in the photo she seems to be dragging an unruly toddler along I mean Boris 😂

I could see Max rocking the outfit with sky high wedges & an enormous but interesting necklace.

I like Carrie's blouse and jacket and her hair suits her like that as a change from her usual style. The trousers would work if they were a better fit, but those just drown her.

Maireas · 13/06/2021 07:35

A suit is a nice change from the floral dresses (or foul dresses? Grin) and the colour is great, but I'm not keen on the cut of the trousers. If they were cropped or slim fit, maybe? The slight loon pant effect reminds me of Shaggy in Scooby Doo.

LarsErickssong · 13/06/2021 07:46

I think Carrie would have looked lovely if as Maireas said, the trousers were cropped or slim fit. The colour is fab and her hair looks lovely like that.

I really like Leti's green dress, the waist is a bit odd but the print is a great summery print.

MotherofPearl · 13/06/2021 08:04

I'm with you Maireas on Leti's green dress. I like the print but can't ever condone a handkerchief hem, personally. Grin

As for Carrie's trousers, I totally agree that a slim fit would have looked much better. I'm loathe to find positive things to say about her, but her hair does look nice up.
