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!)

@MotherofPearl

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.

It’s the hat! The hat doesn’t work with the skirt/top combo

Action shot of Kate today....pity the poor sod who had to do the risk assessment for this!

She's not giving up her skinnies! Though jeans wouldn't be my choice for cycling or abseiling.

Eaumyword · 21/09/2021 21:50

Omg looks dangerous, but she is smiling like a trooper!

Eaumyword · 21/09/2021 21:51

Trouper!
Why does autocorrect choose to correct things that were fine in the first place?!

RomainingCalm · 22/09/2021 10:42

That's a great photo Frugal.

I'm less keen on the belted tweed jacket that she changed into for the afternoon meetings. That said, given that they are such very different engagements it can't be easy finding clothes that go effortlessly from abseiling and mountain biking to a serious meeting with WW2 evacuees.

(I'd love to see the planning and organisation for these trips. I can't imagine that Kate is changing outfits in the ladies at the services on the M6 so does the outdoor centre have a dressing room set up for her. I'm assuming that someone is with her with hair products, make up, spare tights etc.)

Prince Philip: The Royal Family Remembers, at 9pm on BBC One tonight.

MotherofPearl · 22/09/2021 20:05

Now to me this dress of CPM's has Kate's name all over it! It's Alexander McQueen. I think she looks fabulous, though the fact it's described as synthetic is a tiny bit off-putting for me. I'm all about the natural fibres especially at my perimenopausal age

Love that dress. Very elegant and stylish.

CPM really looks like Kate in the second photo!

Nope, tell a lie, it was the Hold Still thingy

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 22/09/2021 21:28

I like CPM's dress & yes it is a very Kate dress.
I also like what Kate is wearing in the Hold Still reception photo.

I forgot that thing about Philip was on. I will watch it later on iPlayer.

RomainingCalm · 22/09/2021 21:31

That black and white dress is very elegant, I like it and yes, can absolutely imagine Kate in it.

I'm not so sure about the pink dress/skirt and the white jacket. I suspect both are lovely on their own but the two fabrics don't quite work together imo.

KillingMeDeftly · 22/09/2021 22:03

Don't think I like that look.

AdaColeman · 22/09/2021 22:20

I really like Mathilde in her Dries Van Noten coat, I love his work!

And going against the general opinion, I love Max in her coral and floral blue outfit. I like the contrast of the colours and fabrics, and the way she’s totally gone for the “look” by wearing matching hat, shoes, bag AND gloves, and the fabric of the skirt is beautiful.

MotherofPearl · 22/09/2021 22:32

Not keen on that outfit of Kate's. Agree with you about the fabrics not working together Romaining. Also don't like that lace panel at the hem of the skirt at all. Strikes me as very 80s, and not in a good way!

LadyEloise1 · 22/09/2021 23:01

I like Kate's outfit at that reception.
I thought Camilla's outfit on the Prince Phillip documentary was lovely.

mathanxiety · 23/09/2021 02:54

I love Max's outfit. The only thing I would change is the coral shoes. I would have gone with blue to avoid the matchy matchiness. Maybe the blue of her sash.

I love the Dries Van Noten coat on Mathilde, but what she wore underneath didn't compliment it. It needs a skirt and boots imo.

Like KM's jacket and skirt (or is it a dress?) combo too. It's an elegant look.

Carole's wedding dress is gorgeous.

waltzingparrot · 23/09/2021 09:07

Hello, lurker here, but is this Princess Anne in a denim jacket? Does it have a look of a 1970s jacket?

Royal Style - Max is back! Pringles are the new black!
MotherofPearl · 23/09/2021 09:26

That's because it 100% is a 1970s jacket! Grin

Serenster · 23/09/2021 09:29

I liked what Kate was wearing at the reception last night - it’s a dress, rather than separates. And yes, very 80s, but since that is back in fashion now, and Kate is young enough to not have worn these looks first time around, I’ll give her a pass on that. Grin

(I actually prefer the sleeveless version at the bottom of the page for a cocktail function, but the one Kate chose is also nice).

KillingMeDeftly · 23/09/2021 12:07

When is the Bond premiere? I think we'll definitely see a gown on Kate as she's worn them for all the previous premieres, but it may be a rewear or a reworking of an old dress.

MotherofPearl · 23/09/2021 12:57

28 September, Royal Albert Hall apparently Deftly.

Serenster · 23/09/2021 14:04

Mathilde is out and about at a UN facility in Belgium, and Meghan and Harry are in New York.

It’s a lovely graphic print on Mathilde, and that’s a flattering dress on her too. Not much to say about Meghan and Harry who are pretty much head to toe in matching black. Meghan is as pretty as ever, though maybe a bit too autumnal? (I have no idea of temperatures in New York, but some of the people around her in the photos are in shirtsleeves and sleeveless dresses still).
