Another vote for that H&M dress Letizia was wearing.

KillingMeDeftly · 25/11/2021 07:31

@StCharlotte

Leti looks magnificent but, come on love, crack a smile!

does anyone else think her tiara is actually too big for her?

The photos from Sweden yesterday made me wonder if she's got a touch of the Ranias. Stay away from the frozen look Letizia!

Thank you for the new thread. 👑😘
I like Queen Silvia's outfit. Very stylish.
Not so keen on Leti's blue gown. I thought the colour drained her and made her arms look thin rather than toned. I usually like her style.
Sophie's turquoise dress looks fab on her. 😍

hopeishere · 25/11/2021 08:21

Sophie's looks great. Very elegant. Love Leti's dress.

Morning all! Just checking into the new thread 🙂 I agree that these threads are such a lovely little escape from the real world (where the boiler is broken and I'm freezing - currently debating if I could fashion a tiara from the icicles beginning to form on the windows!! 😂). It's so nice to see some fancy frocks and tiaras getting an airing this week.

Eaumyword · 25/11/2021 08:54

Oh bless you @Balloondog- if it helps, we have no water or heating today, so can match you with the verreee cold house! Not our boiler, it's a water outage so I hope they hurry up and fix it quickly!

Balloondog · 25/11/2021 09:02

Oh no @Eaumyword! I'm sorry to hear that - I'm thankful we at least have water (it's just VERY cold!) and I'm trying to look on the bright side and think of the skin toning effects of ice water 😆 I hope you get reconnected very soon x

Amazing resemblance here

Love all the outfits actually! I didn’t notice the cameo tiara, it actually does work there, though it still isn’t a favourite of mine. I do like the delicate floral pattern on Victoria’s dress, and lovely with the aquamarines. Leti’s dress is really eye catching, I think her arms are starting to cross from toned to stringy now though and that’s all I could see!
Sophie looks fabulous in the blue dress, it’s just the right shape for her, and her hair looks especially nice styled like that.

KillingMeDeftly · 25/11/2021 11:43

I quite like that Sophie has her watch on - maybe she was helping James with his homework, realised what the time was and had to hurry to get dressed and out the door!

paradyning · 25/11/2021 13:46

Leti looks like she is moving into the Charlene territory for facial tweaks. The scrutiny these women must feel under must be horrendous.

Eaumyword · 25/11/2021 14:25

I agree.
I'm also feeling very happy that nobody can see me right now tucked under my throw, drinking diet coke, eating Cadburys and watching SATC! I'm meant to be cleaning the house and periodically get up to do a room!Grin

GrouchyKiwi · 25/11/2021 14:36

Late to the new thread. Thanks Maireas.

I LOVE CPV's dress. It's so romantic and gorgeous. Leti's is lovely too.

That's a smashing colour on Sophie, and Camilla looks marvellous with the emeralds.

KillingMeDeftly · 25/11/2021 14:41

CPV's dress is by Frida Jonsvens, a designer I'd not heard of. It reminds me a bit of that Galliano Cate Blanchett once wore to the Oscars, with the flowers embroidered on the sheer back.

Eaumyword · 25/11/2021 14:42

I remember that Cate Blanchett dress - beautiful.

KillingMeDeftly · 25/11/2021 14:44

Oh I've just seen a frontal shot of Sophie's aqua Emilia Wickstead from last night and I'm not as keen anymore. The drapiness makes her look in need of a bra intervention.

margotsdevil · 25/11/2021 15:00

Thanks for the new thread. Deurking to ask if anyone had seen or shared this shot of the queen? I've screenshot from Instagram as I'm rubbish at links! I thought she looks like she's lost a lot of weight - the last few outfits I've seen have looked a much looser fit that normal. Hope she is doing as well as they claim.

KillingMeDeftly · 25/11/2021 15:05

She has lost weight but other than that I think she looks healthier than most nonagenarians!

paradyning · 25/11/2021 16:28

Lots of HM's clothes of kate have been hanging off her.

I agree re: the Galliano dress for CPV, I thought it was vintage at first.

StartupRepair · 25/11/2021 19:26

Really love CPVs dress.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 25/11/2021 19:31

@justasking111 wow that is a strong resemblance.

Maireas · 25/11/2021 19:35

Thinking of you, Balloondog and Eaumyword with your water and heat problems Flowers If you live anywhere near Maireas Manor, you'd be most welcome to sit by the fire with your tiaras and slippers on!
I agree with everyone about the fillers/frozen faces, and what a shame women feel the need. Daisy looks her age and still fabulous! I'm also pleased that Caroline of Hanover has gone grey.
On another note, good that HM is obviously well, however tiny she has become!

I was in the City of London last night and saw all these people heading to an event. It must have been the Camilla one, though didn’t see any royal cars speeding by.

Eaumyword · 25/11/2021 20:13

Thanks @Maireas, we're all fired back up here thank god, hope @Balloondog is the same as it's a bit brisk tonight!
I opened the top layer of my M&S advent calendar @TracyBeakerSoYeah to keep spirits up! Been strong about the Rituals one though!Grin
Looking again at that frontal shot of Sophie's dress, I do still like it, it's a beautiful colour on her.

Maireas · 25/11/2021 20:26

I was trying to work out if her brooch was on loan from HM, but the image is a bit small.
