I thought the same @KillingMeDeftly Grin

Eaumyword · 19/07/2021 17:15

Omg @KillingMeDeftly, I really had to look twice!!Grin
Agree about Zara's dress. It's a beautiful colour against her blond hair and golden colouring, but unflattering on the boobage.
Sophie looks ab fab in that pink dress, definitely her colour and style. Not on team espadrilles but they are better than stilettos!

Eaumyword · 19/07/2021 17:51

£2k+??!

KillingMeDeftly · 19/07/2021 19:44

She looks nice but you could've told me it was £70 from
Boden and I'd have believed you!

Eaumyword · 19/07/2021 19:56

I got a few dresses last season from Boden in exactly the same style, lovely soft cotton-in blue and pink and fresh green colourways and yes, for £70!
I give the royals extra kudos for budget&British dressing (disclaimer: I'm sure they don't care what I think) Grin

KillingMeDeftly · 19/07/2021 19:59

Also, is there some sort of rule against royal women wearing decent bras? So many of them would benefit from a trip (incognito of course since they lost the royal warrant) to Rigby & Peller!

CliffsofMohair · 19/07/2021 21:24

Sophie is on the receiving end of some very soft press these days

Serenster · 19/07/2021 22:39

Here’s a better view of Zara’s dress (and Mike Smile ) - I actually think it’s better than a few of her recent choices as at least it’s roomy enough to accommodate her boobage. To me often her choices look a bit too tight in that area.

Also, I totally agree that Sophie’s dress looks like a £2000- plus outfit! She wears quite a bit of Alaïa, which surprises me a bit as to me he is all about bodycon minidresses for supermodel types, not well-groomed middle-aged English Countesses. He is a “totally important designer” of course, though Grin

Serenster · 19/07/2021 22:39

Duh, forgot the picture!

I just feel Zara looks best in jeans, riding boots and a Barbour!

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 20/07/2021 00:35

Now I see Zara's dress is a mini dress it looks a lot better.

Muses to self if Zara shops at Zara & then reuses the bags to put her lunch or whatever in.
Where else can you get a bag with your name on for 10p.

Also muses that Meg & Haz should do a collab with H&M
And George could model for Asda.......
Right I'm off to bed as I think tiredness is giving me some funny ideas 🤣
Normal Tracy will resume tomorrow!

If future children's clothes advertising campaigns for ASDA feature a boy who looks like Prince George we'll know where they got the idea! 😄

Maireas · 20/07/2021 06:26

You're definitely on to something there, @TracyBeakerSoYeah! Imagine if your name is John Lewis, so much would be personalised!
Unfortunate if your name is Ann Summers, though Hmm

I've just remembered that when Prince George was born one of the parent and child parking spaces in the carpark at Llanghfni ASDA in Anglesey had a temporary crown and baby motif painted on it.
Kate usually frequented Waitrose in Menai Bridge though.

Well yesterday it was Beatrice's & Edo's 1st wedding anniversary (doesn't time fly as it only seems like a few months ago they were married)
www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/amp37065921/princess-beatrice-edo-mapelli-mozzi-first-anniversary-instagram/

The 1st anniversary is your Paper anniversary so I got my STBXH a copy of the Daily Mail
For our 10th wedding anniversary (Tin) he gave me a tin of baked beans 🤣
Probably why we're getting divorced........

Bea & Edo look very happy together & long may that continue for the rest of their lives ❤️

TriSarahTops · 20/07/2021 17:52

BIL got my sister an engraved tin ingot for their 10th anniversary. Unfortunately he got the wrong wedding date engraved on it (they got married in the summer - but for some reason he managed to remember a date in October). They’re still married.

KillingMeDeftly · 20/07/2021 18:15

The Jordanian royals are in the US at the moment. I like Rania's red dress - it looks a bit like something Letizia would wear - but I'd like to have seen a more interesting shoe. Dr Biden looks good too.

Dr Biden looks great, and I love her shoes. There's more than a hint of Leti in Rania's style, especially this dress. Nice colour, although I'm not sure about the ties.

KillingMeDeftly · 20/07/2021 18:27

Crikey, Dr B is 70 Shock

LadyEloise · 20/07/2021 18:46

JB looks great as does Rania.
Anyone else think JB has a look of Krystle Carrington ( Dynasty - Linda Evans ) about her ?

KillingMeDeftly · 20/07/2021 19:17

Yes! You're right @LadyEloise.

Eaumyword · 20/07/2021 21:53

Colour me crazy-Dr B is 70 - wow, she looks fabulous! She is Dynasty glam but also quite accessible in her style. Like Michelle Obama, you can tell she has a razor sharp intellect as well as looking good.
Love Rania's dress-but yes, except for the long ties.

KillingMeDeftly · 20/07/2021 22:08

This is a rather glam photo of the Bidens... Wink
