Kate Bond premiere look

297 replies

HaveringWavering · 29/09/2021 09:29

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

She looked stunning! What a dress

aloris · 29/09/2021 13:41

The square-shoulder look seems to be coming back and I'm not a fan. Also, bushy eyebrows are the modern look; again, I'm not a fan. But she's lovely in everything she wears and, as one article pointed out, it's as if she missed dressing up, as have we all. So I enjoyed the glamness of it. Thumbs up!

*"They really stepped up her wardrobe after the arrival of Meghan"

Don't agree with this. She's always worn interesting clothes and IRRC she worked for Jigsaw ages ago - she's a fashiony person and always has been, and she's always worn things that inspired copies and write-ups.

Kate is undeniably stunning, she has a beautiful face and hair.

I actually prefer her more casual look today though - does anyone know where that suit is from? I'm sure it's way out of my price range but it's gorgeous!

I thought she looked fabulous - confident, relaxed and gorgeous

LaBellina · 29/09/2021 13:50

Ohh magenta is really getting fashionable these days isn’t it? I bought a lovely magenta nail polish last week and after seeing Kate’s outfit I’m thinking I need a magenta jumper to wear with my nail polish 💅

Pallisers · 29/09/2021 13:51

I thought she looked absolutely fabulous and having a great time.

I don't think she is that into style - wears stuff because she has to but I suspect is much happier in sports/casual stuff. I thought she looked wonderful wearing the tennis gear last week. But she nailed this one.

"does anyone know where that suit is from?"

It says it in the article you have linked!-Emilia Wickstead, £1345.

lllllllllll · 29/09/2021 13:53

Oh, thanks diddl - missed that! Yup, £1345 is most definitely out of my price range - never mind!

HaveringWavering · 29/09/2021 13:54

@LittleGwyneth

Are you joking? She looks absolutely incredible. I don't think I've ever seen her look that amazing before.
I was joking, yes. And as for the person who said that the thread “has not gone how I hoped it would go”; it has pretty much gone exactly as I expected…

Catherine will have her hair like this by Christmas, mark my words…

Honestly, if I was even a 10th as beautiful as Kate I'd be happy. She's absolutely stunning!

BuffySummersReportingforSanity · 29/09/2021 13:54

I feel like the navy under that suit isn't quiiiiiite right but it's otherwise a good look. The gold gown is just a barnstormer, though.

CovidCorvid · 29/09/2021 13:55

She looked amazing. Definitely a nod to a classic Bond girl type style. Great dress, great hair. Yes it wouldn't be a look for one of us for a Saturday night out but for a Bond premiere it was perfect.

rottengreentomatoes · 29/09/2021 13:55

I'm usually the last to comment on these threads but yes I thought she looked stunning - loved the shoulder pads.

I don't think she's a fashiony person. To me she always seems happiest in her casual clothes. Her public appearance dresses, with some exceptions, can be bit staid. I think that's why the Bond dress made such an impact, because she doesn't usually go for such a modern and boldly glamorous look.
TurquoiseDress · 29/09/2021 13:58

I thought she looked amazing...the dress was fabulous!

Am certain it will be remembered for years to come

Wasn't there another Jenny Packham dress she wore, think it was pink, and it just suited her so well and she looked fabulous! Think it was pre-kids

@TurquoiseDress this one perhaps?

surreysarah · 29/09/2021 14:02

I imagine Carole and Michael Middleton must just burst with pride when they see photos of their daughter like this. She's simply breath-taking!

TurquoiseDress · 29/09/2021 14:02

@lllllllllll

Yes that's the one! it's just exquisite

I'd love a dress like that, wonder how much it cost?

Then again, not where I'd actually wear it lol

diddl · 29/09/2021 14:04

"To me she always seems happiest in her casual clothes. Her public appearance dresses, with some exceptions, can be bit staid."

I think that's sometimes the case for day wear, but for the evening I think she's usually pretty glamorous.

There was a gorgeous teal dress that I remember & a blush one with sequins(?)

Rummikubfan · 29/09/2021 14:05

I thought she looked absolutely outstanding.

diddl · 29/09/2021 14:06

Ooh yes, *lllllllllllP has just posted a link to the blush dress I was thinking of!

I can’t help you

But I did have one I gave to a charity shop recently that was very very similar, it was topshop circa 1998 and I had to feel quite brave to wear it as it was a bit ribena berry.

None of that has helped you has it?! Sorry!!!

labourslostlove · 29/09/2021 14:13

I'm not a royalist,and I think she has a weird role in life, but gotta give her credit for doing it exceptionally well and looking fabulous and appropriate whatever the occasion.
