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.

I enjoyed the Diana Queen of Style thing, though a lot of the time I felt they were reading way too much into Diana's style choices. The difference between her early 80s style and her mid 90s style wasn't solely down to her 'growing more confident as a woman' or however they phrased it: fashion changed a lot over that time, and the frills and fuss of the 80s gave way to a more pared back look in the 90s. Not just for Diana, but for most people!

Max in a typically Maximum outfit today! Those earrings! Grin

Max modelling for the House of Orange Grin

Grin Max is maxing out again! Love her, don't love that outfit (complete with satsuma peel earrings!)

KillingMeDeftly · 23/11/2021 07:10

Oof those orange trousers are not flattering!

Maireas · 23/11/2021 07:45

Max, Queen of Orange. Those trousers are not flattering. Full marks for loyalty to the royal house, though.
I agree about the Diana fashion retrospective. Too much was read into her style. The frills and flounces went out of fashion, she didn't really change that.

Those earrings !!! Love Max - I couldn't wear earrings that huge - my ears would definitely hurt

I wonder if Wax buys her earrings for Christmas ,Birthdays, it's Tuesday or if she buys them herself ?

LadyEloise1 · 23/11/2021 08:27

Sorry what's with the pants ? Hmm
I must have missed that.

GrouchyKiwi · 23/11/2021 08:51

Those trousers on Max are awful, sorry Max. Incredible earrings though. They look so heavy.

gluenotsoup · 23/11/2021 09:50

Oooh, it’s a no from me🤦🏻‍♀️. Max, you have a lovely smile, beautiful face and figure, but please - no more orange 😂. To be fair she looks happy, but her hair looks like it could do with a wash, cut and finish too.

KillingMeDeftly · 23/11/2021 22:56

Letizia and Felipe are in Stockholm for a state visit and you know what that means - gowns and jewels! And no one does tiaras like CPV and Madeleine.

Is it just me or does Felipe look ever so slightly like Prince Charles in this shot? I know they're related (in several ways) but I'm not sure to what the closest degree of removal is - Queen Sofia and the DoE were first cousins? Actually maybe it was Sofia's father and the DoE.

Fergie, Beatrice and Eugenie launching a Christmas appeal for a cancer charity. Some serious shoulder pad action from Fergie and Bea!

Oh my lord those orange trousers! I love Max but…

Love Fergie cape. I think she's had her face tweaked. Bea looks tiny these days

Not keen on Leti's asymmetrical white dress but am keeping my fingers crossed for gowns and tiaras! I sort of see what you mean about Charles/Felipe but it's very fleeting.

I'm afraid I don't like Fergie's outfit or that satin dress of Eugenie's. Beatrice's outfit would have looked a lot better minus the ginormous shoulders pads, imo. Poor Fergie does look a bit crazed in that photo, but perhaps that's the result of the facial tweaks?

Eaumyword · 24/11/2021 06:24

Love Leti's white dress.
Fergie needs to step away from the fillers, she's got that cushiony shiny look now. I kind of like her cape but the the shoulder pads look ridiculous - like 1980's Dynasty.
I love Bea's look again except for the silly shoulders.
Really dislike Eug's dress.

Maireas · 24/11/2021 07:49

I don't like any of the looks from the York women. They've spent a lot of money on stylists and clothes over the years, but I think they still have quite a few misses.
Leti loves an asymmetric hemline, doesn't she? It's a nice look, though.

Leti can certainly hold her own on the tiara front. Can't wait for the pictures Smile

Is Madeleine back in town?

Beatrice has lost the baby weight quickly but in the picture from the other night she looked shattered, poor thing. I suspect she has a baby who feeds constantly and never sleeps! I had the same - the weight fell off but the sleep deprivation was unreal. He sleeps fine now but I swear he permanently disrupted my sleep pattern. I still sleep badly and he's nearly 8!

Princess ML has been on a US chat show with Shaman Durek. I'm not keen on large pattern floral but I think the colours suit her.

LadyEloise1 · 24/11/2021 09:26

No bling on Leti's hands. Just a simple ring on her index finger.
I'm not a fan of asymmetrical clothing but Leti could wear a bin bag and still look great.

How does Fergie consistently get it wrong clothes wise. I think it's genetic Smile B and E often get it wrong too. Eugenie's dress isn't great in that photo. Surely they would have access to the best advice if they wanted.

gluenotsoup · 24/11/2021 10:09

I think the same as everyone else re the Yorks’. I thought the top half of Eug’s dress looked quite nice while she was sitting, but too much and too shiny as a dress. Max might like it though!
Agree Fergie needs to step away from the fillers.

She always looks lovely I think.
AdaColeman · 24/11/2021 12:05

Unusually for me, I’m not keen on the outfit Max is wearing, it’s just too O R A N G E!
I love all the fabulous Chinoiserie behind her though.

The York women have all made poor choices there, especially Eugenie in all those droopy yards of shiny peach fabric, and Bea’s exaggerated shoulder pads.

KillingMeDeftly · 24/11/2021 13:57

I think Beatrice is into "fashion" as a lot of what she wears is reasonably trendy, though it doesn't always suit her. She and Eugenie appear to have fun with their clothes though and they wear interesting shoes!

The Duchess of Cambridge is visiting Nower Hill High School in Harrow today. She looks fabulous in bright pink turtleneck jumper and matching coat with black trousers and heels.
