I think it's roses on the cardigan?

I love her hair, but can also see what you're all saying.

@LookslovelyinSpringtime

I think she looks better with shorter hair and don’t like the ringlets either.
I think she's getting a bit old for such long hair.
KillingMeDeftly · 18/12/2021 17:22

I think the shoulder length suits her better but don't think there's an age limit for long hair - try telling Cher that!!Grin

I'm not sure really long hair flatters women of a certain age.

The shorter hair on Kate makes her look younger.

It's not just the length, it's the ringlets! Looks a bit silly. Those shorter lengths are beautiful.

KillingMeDeftly · 19/12/2021 09:53

I wonder what her annual hairdressing bill is?

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 19/12/2021 14:26

I disagree I think lighter hair really suits Kate just as much as the chocolate brown & I like the longer length as much as the shorter length.
However I'd love her to go red not just auburn highlights but a red shade all over.
She'd look great too with deep purple hair but that may be a tad to much for our future Queen!

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 19/12/2021 14:27

Go on Catherine live a bit more dangerously Xmas Grin

I agree. Long hair is fine, but ringlets? A bit too Violet Elizabeth Bott.

Hah @TracyBeakerSoYeah maybe the tartan trews Instagram artist should do a picture of Kate with purple hair and a nose piercing!

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 19/12/2021 17:44

That would be hilarious @KillingMeDeftly fab idea!

KillingMeDeftly · 21/12/2021 09:27

I read that the royals are skipping Sandringham again this year, so no walk to the church and new coat for Kate!

Eaumyword · 21/12/2021 10:22

I read that too - I wonder if they are all secretly super relieved and will put their feet up watching Mary Poppins with a tin of Quality Street in hoodies and joggers?!Grin

It's all gone very quiet. Poor CPM in Denmark has Covid apparently.

CPV looking as regal as ever in green velvet at an event at the Swedish Academy.

AdaColeman · 22/12/2021 00:22

I see that the Telegraph have got an article advising Wills how he can up his style game in 2022! I think we could probably have written that article! Xmas Grin Xmas Wink
And from the headline it looks as though Kate is on The Times Best Dressed List, especially in her gold film premiere dress. I seem to remember we liked it too. Xmas Smile

paradyning · 22/12/2021 01:39

CPV looks stunning. Not happy to be there though!

Maireas · 22/12/2021 07:45

My favourite royal look of the year.

Shame there won't be any pictures from Sandringham this year.
I hope CPM is recovering well.

I love the green velvet.

I agree @Maireas
That dress on Kate was a showstopper !
It had real Hollywood glamour.

I wouldn't put Kate anywhere near the best dressed list!
She always looks "nice", and well turned out, but with the odd exception, she's very staid and bland. She dresses how women of 40 dressed in the 1950s - she could be much more "modern" in what she wears, and a bit more "film star-ish".

AdaColeman · 22/12/2021 08:40

That’s a lovely photo Maireas!

Maireas · 22/12/2021 09:02

I think that the 1950s were a stylish era, @Justkeeppedalling!
I think that Kate doesn't want to promote herself as a fashion icon, for various reasons. She's dressing for her role; not flamboyant, edgy or fashion forward. (which can backfire) That's what makes the gold dress so special - she could have gone default safe, but went for glamour!

That gold dress was one of the best celeb gowns of the year but I agree with @Justkeeppedaling.
