Congratulations to the new Mr & Mrs Middleton.
I love the dog photobombing behind them

Apparently Eugenie was also at a wedding in Italy this weekend wearing a peach Peter Pilotto dress. Can't find an official picture of it though.

My nosey self would love to see some pictures of James and the Middletons although I suspect that we won't. I have to admit though that when I see Alizee I can't forget the very low cut, red, top that she wore to Wimbledon one year.

Not style-related, but this horrendous portrait of the Cambridges with a fictional fourth baby came up in my Instagram recommendations. Is it Halloween yet??Confused

@KillingMeDeftly - that is truly awful.

Maireas · 13/09/2021 12:14

Oh dear lord. That is truly awful.

Ohhh!
Charlotte is the only one that looks recognisable.
Unfortunately the others look like when you use that app that ages you 20yrs.

KillingMeDeftly · 13/09/2021 12:36

And speaking of things that look truly awful, Netflix is showing next month!

Maireas · 13/09/2021 12:56

Good grief. As if The Crown wasn't bad enough.

Hotelier Sir Rocco Forte's daughter Irene celebrates nuptials www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-9984919/Hotelier-Sir-Rocco-Fortes-daughter-Irene-celebrates-nuptials-lavish-event-Sicily.html?ito=native_share_article-top
Princess Eugenie has been at Irene Forte's wedding in Italy. She wore an orange Peter Pilotto dress, but I'm not a fan. Nice colour, but I don't like the string tie waist.

KillingMeDeftly · 13/09/2021 19:35

Yikes that's a shocker from Eugenie! The colour is good but everything else about it is hideous - she looks like some sort of ye olde bar wench.

Another wedding gown with giant puff sleeves - I guess they are back on trend. Won't Anne of Green Gables be pleased??

Maireas · 13/09/2021 19:59

She would indeed!
I'm laughing at the wench comment - very apt!
Very expensive, too

Eaumyword · 13/09/2021 20:05

Grin at bar wench!
She has a lovely feminine figure that suits clear colours and clean lines. Not unflattering bar wench style!
Really don't like the wedding dress here and the bridesmaid outfits are AWFUL!

MotherofPearl · 13/09/2021 20:08

My eyes! That dress of Eugenie's is truly hideous. The serving wenches comment is equally applicable to the bridesmaids' outfits. And I dislike the bride's dress.

Maireas · 13/09/2021 20:39

Yes, the bridesmaids' dresses are awful. Money doesn't buy style!

Irene & Felix got married about a year ago, so this wedding is more of an excuse for a party I’d guess. Which could explain why the bridesmaids were dressed up as the Angel Gabriel in the school nativity play.
Eugenie’s frock has a very beach babe vibe and colour!

Now that made me giggle

MotherofPearl · 13/09/2021 22:51

I literally can't see a single outfit with any redeeming features at all!

Some rather yawn-making ensembles from the usually reliable Letizia and Mary.

Mary is really feeling the wide-legged trousers right now, isn't she?

Yawn-inducing indeed. Both outfits are fine as far as they go, but very dull. I think those trousers swamp CPM. Boring colours too.

Going back to the OTT puff sleeved wedding dress/es. I really think they look silly on grown women. I can't help contrasting them with the stylish simplicity of Meghan's dress, or for a much earlier non-royal example, Carolyn Bessette Kennedy's.

This. Totally.
KillingMeDeftly · 14/09/2021 11:28

Eugenie would look good in Vivienne Westwood designs. I think she wore one to W&K's wedding reception and looked great.

KillingMeDeftly · 14/09/2021 12:37

Kate is apparently visiting RAF Brize Norton tomorrow. A coat dress or a jeans and blazer event?

Serenster · 14/09/2021 12:41

Is that for something connected with Air Force Cadets, KillingMeDeftly? (That’s her normal reason for RAF-based engagements, I think?). She may well wear that whopper of a diamond brooch if so….

Serenster · 14/09/2021 12:50

Ah no, Google has told me she’ll be meeting people involved in the evacuation of personnel from Afghanistan….
