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!)

I thought Anne & Alexandra won the gold medals at Chelsea today, both très charmantes.
Sophie’s dress was ghastly, not even Victoria herself could have made that look good.
Poor Princess Michael looked as though she was off to Tesco to look for yellow stickers, she seems to have lost her style compass lately.

Gonegrey31 · 20/09/2021 22:29

I think Princess Michael had COVID not long ago ? Perhaps she’s still under the weather.
I recognised Princess Anne’s coat because I have it - the colour is more eau de nil than grey . It’s a lovely soft colour irl . The fabric is a silk/ wool blend .

AdaColeman · 20/09/2021 22:31

How lovely for Alizée to wear Carole’s wedding dress, what a sweet family touch. As more photos have appeared, they’ve revealed just how very pretty the dress is, with beautiful delicate lacework.

What a clever choice Alizée! 🇫🇷 🥂 🍾 🥂 🇫🇷

AdaColeman · 20/09/2021 22:57

What a beautiful piece to own Gonegrey, the fabric is gorgeous, and I love how they’ve centred the pattern on Anne’s coat, very nicely done.

I see Anne is wearing one of her favourite brooches, the diamond and pearl floral spray given to her by Swan Hunter when she launched one of their ships.

I'd like to see a photo of Carole on her wedding day in the dress!

@KillingMeDeftly

I'd like to see a photo of Carole on her wedding day in the dress!

Me too! I've googled madly but, probably not surprisingly, Carole's wedding photos seem to have been kept off the internet.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 20/09/2021 23:42

Even I can't find a photo of Carole in her wedding dress and I can usually find nearly anything.

ChristmasPlannier · 20/09/2021 23:44

I thought Anne's outfit was lovely but the black accessories ruined it! I think a dark teal or navy would have been so much nicer.

Sophie's dress was horrendous and not a good fit in her. The bag and shoes made it even worse.

Red Carpet Alert!

Just read that Kate and William will be attending the world premiere of the new James Bond film on the 28th. Keep everything crossed for a new and lovely frock.

Well, Tracy, if you can't find it then it does not exist

Kate had better be wearing something sparkly and William had better not be in a fleece!Grin

KillingMeDeftly · 21/09/2021 13:20

Or maybe she'll have a sparkly fleece dress!

Actually, my money is on a rewear...

Gorgeous full length photo here.

Alizee looks beautiful, that's a great photo you've found @frugalkitty

myrtleWilson · 21/09/2021 16:41

Some photos of Kate on the D&DofC Instagram. On Windermere with children who were Holocaust survivors. Her hair looks so long in one of the photos!

Gorgeous picture! How lovely.
I'm glad that Alizee and Beatrice had re-wears.

Ooooh, we had lots of royal ladies out and about today!

Leticia in a repeated green boho dress (I like this a lot) for some bank awards.

Mathilde in a very bright Dries Van Noten coat for a Microfinancing institute visit.

And Max for the opening of the Dutch parliament. Well…you won’t miss her Grin. It’s a tough dress code for this event - super dressy long skirted day wear plus hat, essentially - but this is not one of my favourites of her ensembles. I’d have liked it a lot more had the top been a more muted coral, I think.

(Kate has also been out and about, but it was an outdoorsy event, so nothing exciting).

I watched a film about the Windermere Children recently, it was really interesting although I can't remember what it was called or what channel/set up, sorry.

Maireas · 21/09/2021 17:04

Thanks, Serenster!
Max's is a bit of a weird combo, but of course she can pull it off. Great colours. I really like Mathilde's, the simple top and trousers emphasise the lovely coat. I'm not keen on Leti's dress, I've seen it before, but am not keen on the pattern. Although I love green.

OP posts:
KillingMeDeftly · 21/09/2021 17:25

Agree with @Serenster re Max's combo. Either the top needed to be more muted or, as it's Max, the skirt needed to be brighter.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 21/09/2021 17:41

Max's outfit is so Maxima
Bright, quirky yet stylish & always suits the occasion.
Thanks for all the photos & links my Princesses of Tiaraland Smile

(That's what I call our threads in my head Tiaraland Grin)

MotherofPearl · 21/09/2021 17:43

I agree about Max's outfit. It just doesn't quite come together.

I'm afraid I'm not keen on Mathilde's coat, but I love that dress on Leti. It falls really nicely.

Eaumyword · 21/09/2021 17:56

Max's top half is gorgeous, if a bit Virgin Atlantic, fish or chicken, sir?
Bottom half lovely too, just not together!
Leti looks amazing.
Mathilde looks fabulous too.
Kate looks functional but lovely.

whataboutbob · 21/09/2021 18:45

Who’s the brunette in the photo with Leticia? She’s seriously foxy.
