Thanks royal style fans for the thread title!
We need banquets, some diplomatic visits and more weddings. Oh and more of gorgeous Charles (you know the one I mean!)

Actually I quite like the green velvet blazer. I'm surprised Kate didn't go for a green rewear given her love of literal dressing!

I quite like that look on him, I think he wears it well. Polo necks make me feel a bit hot and sweaty just looking at them though Smile

Kate looks lovely - her hair is gorgeous. Yes, the dress is from one of her early engagements. I rather like Will's look. It's different, at least!

Kate looks lovely, I have to admit I quite like the green velvet jacket on William but not sure about the polo neck.

I think it's this dress, worn in LA in 2011.

I think they both look fabulous. I like W's look!

SnottyLottie · 17/10/2021 18:02

I really like William’s outfit. It’s very relaxed but also formal. It’s also a good colour on him. Kate looks lovely but it’s a very safe look. All eyes are on him tonight!

It’s nice to see him make an effort. Maybe he was jealous of the attention Kate received at the Bond premiere and has decided to up his game. She’s the Bond girl (the girl with the golden gown as I remember one headline reading) and now he’s going for vintage Bond.

I think they both look great! I like the green velvet on William.

The dress with the tiny waist reminds me of a caption on GFY when Kate did some rewears of non-maternity clothes very soon after Louis was born: "It still all fits bitches!"

GrouchyKiwi · 17/10/2021 18:31

I love William's jacket. Not so sure about the polo neck.

Kate looks beautiful. That's one of my favourite of her gowns. Her hair is gorgeous.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 17/10/2021 18:53

They both look gorgeous.
Will should start dressing more like this.
On a side note one of my old bosses would always wear a black polo with black trousers so you can guess what we called him....... & he left chocolate on our desks (except it was just a handful of Quality Street not a box of Milk Tray)

frugalkitty · 17/10/2021 18:55

Kate looks fab this evening and I'm not at all jealous that she can fit into clothes she wore so long ago....we've both had three children, where could I have gone wrong??? Clue, I bet she's not on the sofa with a second glass of wine and big bar of fruit and nut Grin

amazeandastonish · 17/10/2021 19:00

I'm a huge Kate fan. I like them as a couple and love her style.

But she looks strange today. In some of the photos she looks a bit p*ssed off! I think being slim ages her and she looks better pregnant can you tell I want another royal baby

I remember reading just before the wedding, that a friend of Kate's said "she's not a show off" and I think that's still true. When first married she wanted to wear clothes she had already or high street. She didn't want to wear a tiara on her wedding day and could only be persuaded to wear the smallest one! I think she's maybe struggled at times with the whole fashion and style thing, but she (nearly always) looks great.

Here's the gown from 2011 - Kate was really tan back then! She's not changed much in 10 years.

shrugshrug · 17/10/2021 19:18

I got the vintage Bond vibe from Will's look too, @SnottyLottie

Tinitiny · 17/10/2021 19:31

They both look fab, love her hair longer like that.

Maybe they flipped a coin for ‘literal dressing’ and W won today :)

RockaLock · 17/10/2021 19:31

There's speculation that the belt on Kate's dress today is the one from her evening wedding dress.

MrsMcCluskeysCat · 17/10/2021 19:54

Kate looks fab that's always been one of my favourite gowns of hers and her hair is beautiful.

I also like Wills look! It's something a bit different and the green really suits him.

Northernlurker · 17/10/2021 19:59

The 2012 wear was after their honeymoon I think, hence the tan.

GrouchyKiwi · 17/10/2021 20:14

I don't think it looks quite right for that. There are more gaps between the embellishments on this belt.
HeyGirlHeyBoy · 17/10/2021 20:26

Kate looks amazing, real movie star glamour. It's a Star from me!

Northernlurker · 17/10/2021 20:27

It's a McQueen like the wedding dress so could well have been made at the same time as the wedding dress one.m

Northernlurker · 17/10/2021 20:27

The belt I mean

MotherofPearl · 17/10/2021 20:33

Yes you're right lurker.

Here's a side by side comparison.

Ooh, speaking part for Catherine....

Balloondog · 17/10/2021 20:52

She looks absolutely stunning (but does like to use her hands for emphasis a little much!). It's lovely to see her speak though, we don't get that too often.
