Now Where Did I Put My Starter Tiara?

I think we have at least one tiara each, according to my spreadsheet. Some have parures. Any newbies welcome, log your choices.

Love Marie Antoinette's bracelets. History and diamonds together.

Max looks great. I think that is the designer who did her coronation gown too.

Kate definitely looks better without the coat. Just wish she had chosen a different colour show. Would have made the outfit less dull.

I love that bracelet of Marie Antoinette. It's like a tennis bracelet on steroids

Thanks for the heads up on Kate's appearance today; I'd missed that. I'm not hugely keen on either the shirt or the coat, but I do like navy so that's something I suppose. Yes Deftly, fingers crossed we see some gowns and tiaras soon. I'm eagerly awaiting the Diplomatic Reception.

Not a fan of ombré so Max's coat is a no from me, but I like her striped dress.

Love those Marie Antoinette bracelets so much.

MotherofPearl · 10/11/2021 22:03

Leti also feeling the stripes today. That shade of pink of her bag is quite something!

The shirt Kate is wearing, I seem to recall Diana wearing one in this style

MotherofPearl · 10/11/2021 22:43

Queen Margrethe and CPF are on a state visit to Germany. I couldn't resist this photo of them with AM, a woman I really admire.

Love this photo despite Fred's crumpled appearance.

hopeishere · 11/11/2021 06:29

I hate that blouse of Kates so fussy.

Meghan's been to an evening event. Great colour but ill fitting. Some pics here: www.townandcountrymag.com/style/fashion-trends/a38216146/meghan-markle-red-dress-carolina-herrera-photos/

Maireas · 11/11/2021 07:34

That colour is gorgeous on Meghan. I'm not sure about the fit around the bodice, though. I like her hair like that, I'm not a fan of the fussy tendril look.
Margarethe looks lovely in that colour, a very elegant outfit.

I wasn't keen on Meghan's dress either - but as always her hair and makeup were lovely, flawless.

Meanwhile here is Max last night in an interesting dress

That looks like a Missoni knitted dress Leti's wearing. I don't think it looks particularly good - I'm not sure if it's the stripes or the fabric.

KillingMeDeftly · 11/11/2021 07:44

I thought Leti's dress was Missoni too but it's not. I like the top half but not the sheerer bottom half.

Great colour on Meghan but there's something a bit 90s about the bodice. Her makeup is flawless as always but I'm not a fan of the more severe CPV-style hair she's been sporting lately.

Max's dress Confused Maybe she's found an innovative way to deal with moth holes!!

Serenster · 11/11/2021 08:01

Oh Max! A step too far into the wacky, I think.

Meghan’s dress looks lovely from the back but swamps her and is badly fitted from the front. It reminds me of a red dress worn by Sophie with a similar neckline that also didn’t really work.

Sophie did look great last night in another lovely black dress at Buckingham Palace. She’s on a roll with good black dresses.

I knew Meghan's dress looked familiar!

KillingMeDeftly · 11/11/2021 08:14

I think Sophie's red dress was at a wedding? I can remember thinking she must've just come back from a holiday as she had very prominent tan lines!

shrugitoff · 11/11/2021 08:16

Oh dear that's a fail from me re Megan's look - there's too much going on.
The colour is very good on her.
Her make up is lovely but I don't like the hair style - shades of CPV - which I don't like on her either. Too harsh. Is it called the Croydon facelift ?

Max - what the actual ???
Very 1960s

Leti can wear it - she is so slim - and it does look like Missoni,

Sophie looks lovely. I like her hair long.

StCharlotte · 11/11/2021 08:18

Good Lord! I just did a double take! had a stripey nightie which looked just Leti's dress in the early 70s. Lovely nylon! I wanted to wear it as a dress but my mum said no. We went to the ballet at the Coliseum and lo and behold there was a girl IN MY NIGHTIE!! I never let my mum hear the end of it.

I also have a hot pink handbag. I swear that woman is copying me Grin

You are clearly her style inspiration. Take bow. 👏👏👏👏
hopeishere · 11/11/2021 09:01

That dress of Sophie's is gorgeous!

hopeishere · 11/11/2021 09:02

I mean the navy / black one not the other one!!

justasking111 · 11/11/2021 09:47

Having worked a lot of remembrance events it's interesting that we dress demurely. Is veterans Day in USA a more glitzy thing??

Lunde · 11/11/2021 10:21

Meghan looks good in red - but this wasn't a good look for her. The bodice on the dress was very poorly fitted and oddly managed to be both baggy and misshapen at the front and far too tight at the back.

Also Harry's shirt was very crumpled and needed a good iron

paradyning · 11/11/2021 10:47

Oh. Max. Wtaf!

RockaLock · 11/11/2021 10:58

Oh, I like Sophie's dress (the black/navy one). Very simple and elegant.
