Kate Bond premiere look

I don’t think know if this is the right place to post this, but why has The Duchess of Cambridge gone to the Bond premiere in fancy dress as Princess Margaret circa 1975?

I love her, but that is a very dated hair choice. www.google.co.uk/amp/s/www.glamour.com/story/kate-middleton-looked-extra-royal-in-a-stunning-gold-dress-at-the-james-bond-premiere/amp

@Bluntness100

I also think she looked fab and her hair was great, ive no idea what you’re havering about, why are you having a go, let’s see you then?
I did not say that she did not look fabulous. I said she looked fabulous in the style of Princess Margaret in 1975. It’s not an insult!

She looks absolutely stunning.

mum2jakie · 29/09/2021 10:01

She looks gorgeous 🤩!

AwaAnBileYerHeid · 29/09/2021 10:01

She looked fabulous!

Mercurial123 · 29/09/2021 10:03

She looks fab, she does evening wear well.

No you didn't. You said "fancy dress as PM" and a "very dated hair choice". If that's not an insult, you might want to choose your words more carefully in future.

Quickchangeartiste · 29/09/2021 10:04

She looked fabulous and very relaxed.

To be honest, if I had the opportunity to meet Daniel Craig, I would pull out all the stops too ( obviously would not look anywhere near as good in my short, slightly rounded, and almost 60 year old shape…)

JosephineDeBeauharnais · 29/09/2021 10:08

I thought she looked ultra high glamour- a very Bond, very Hollywood look. Wouldn’t have worked in any other situation.

PippaOwl · 29/09/2021 10:11

"I did not say that she did not look fabulous. I said she looked fabulous in the style of Princess Margaret in 1975. It’s not an insult!"

But you didn't say that at all. Maybe read your opening post again? It's worded as an insult completely

BuffySummersReportingforSanity · 29/09/2021 10:12

I agree that she often dresses in a slightly dated conservative style that's too old for her, but I don't think this was one of those occasions. The hair said retro Hollywood glamour to me, not "dated", and altogether I think she knocked everyone's eyes out.

LyndaSnellsSniff · 29/09/2021 10:13

I thought she looked jaw-droppingly beautiful. And she knew she looked jaw-droppingly beautiful, which gave her extra confidence and she just glowed!

WhatIsThisPlease · 29/09/2021 10:13

She looked incredible and oozed glamour and confidence.

I don't agree that she looked like a fancy dress princess Margaret or that her hair was dated.

And it seems nobody else thinks that either 🤷‍♀️

Mrsjayy · 29/09/2021 10:13

Right it's James Bond she looked very glam and over the top and not taking herself to serious. She looked gorgeous.

EllieSattler · 29/09/2021 10:15

The hair was perfect. A very understated up do which allowed that incredible dress to shine. She looks fabulous in those pictures, really really glam.

Crazycrazylady · 29/09/2021 10:16

Honestly Op. You must be looking at different pics to me. I thought she looked fabulous, hair makeup and that amazing dress.. totally 🤩

Aposterhasnoname · 29/09/2021 10:17

She looks amazing. Really stunning. I wish people would stop pulling women apart for their appearance.

That was my thought - the dress was The Thing, hair needed to be more low key otherwise there'd be too much going on.
Mrsjayy · 29/09/2021 10:18

I mean Daniel Craig had a pink velour jacket on it was all very glam and camp Grin

MsHedgehog · 29/09/2021 10:18

Her dress was beautiful but her hair was a poor choice and really aged her.

Loved that jacket!!
dudsville · 29/09/2021 10:20

Me too! Also I never would have seen this if it wasn't for your post so this has been great advertising.

AuldFox · 29/09/2021 10:21

Oof she looks stunning. If you can’t glam it up at a bond premiere, when can you?

dudsville · 29/09/2021 10:21

My quite link failed. My "me too " was in support of those who thought it was a stunning look.

diddl · 29/09/2021 10:22

I don't particularly like the cape bit of the dress.

But other than that I think she looks fantastic!

HarebrightCedarmoon · 29/09/2021 10:25

Wow, she looks absolutely stunning. Just a perfect look for a Bond film premiere.
