More wonderful witticisms, observations and pictures !

Thank you, @ashtyler, I really enjoyed that article. I agree with you, @Eaumyword about the blue Ascot outfit.
Some lovely ones I'd forgotten about.

I love the pale blue Ascot dress🥰

…and HMQ likes her hands in her pockets 😂

Thank you for the various sets of Kate fashion pictures. Really lovely to look back on. I also loved the floaty blue Ascot outfit. I also liked the pink floral dress, but not as much as the blue one.
I notice the fashion highlights have all left out one of my favourite outfits, the frog dress. I just loved it for it's quirkiness even though I know it was panned. 🐸😁

I love the pale pink coat with pearl buttons and pink hat Kate wore when she was pregnant. It's a great colour on her and one of my favourite colours.
The pale blue Ascot outfit was a bit fussy for my taste but the colour was stunning on her as was the fabulous hat.
Carole Middleton wore a similar shade of blue to K&W's wedding - it was gorgeous and a similar shade of pink at Pippa's wedding which was also gorgeous.

I wasn't so keen on the Issa engagement dress. The skirt was a little short for the top of it. It looked a wee bit unbalanced.

See I think ice blue looks too cold on her and she's much better suited to rich autumnal tones. I liked the dark blue of the Issa dress but the style is very much of its time, as are the shiny tights!

Two of my favourite Kate daytime looks by Chanel and Gucci didn't make the Vogue list.

I loved the dress she wore to her wedding reception with the cardigan. Don't think we've seen it since

The dress with the black and red piping is cute and much less aging than a lot of her clothes.
I liked the wedding evening reception outfit too with the fluffy bolero. I have a feeling the sparkly waistband/belt has been used with other evening wear since.

I haven’t seen the Gucci dresses before, they’re both a good look 😊

I like that red piping dress and actually the other one there, @KillingMeDeftly.
I really loved her evening wedding reception dress, so modern and pretty and also Meghan's evening halterneck dress. Both reflections I thought more of their personalities than the 'official' wedding dresses, although I thought Kate's one was really classy.

I absolutely love both of those outfits @KillingMeDeftly. The Gucci suit in particular is so chic. Why can't she wear more of this kind of thing? I didn't like the pale blue Ascot dress - far too frilly and fussy for me.

Thanks for that link @banivani. I can't believe how much of Martha Louise you can see in Sonja there. Those earrings are stupendous.

She has never repeated the Chanel suit or the Gucci dress and I really don't know why. Surely they wouldn't have been lent to her?

I was wondering why they weren't repeated, I really like the Chanel outfit.

I haven't been keeping up with these threads at all, but wanted to pop in to show you this instagram post from a Norwegian fashion historian or something with Queen Sonja in a lovely dress. www.instagram.com/p/CYh6fIPjOoq/

Such an interesting dress, almost regency but at the same time clearly 1960s!

The account does a lot of Norwegian royal gowns, it's worth a follow for those who are interested!

Beautiful picture of Sonja. Martha Louise is so like her, as is future queen Ingrid.

@Maireas when you consider some of the ensembles she has repeated it's genuinely mystifying. If I owned that Chanel I'd be wearing it as much as I could!

Me too!!!! Those bloomin coat dresses would be in the black sacks!

Down with coat dresses! Up with Chanel!

Next thread title?

Wear Chanel for the people!

Let them wear Chanel!

Great ideas!

Love those title suggestions!
Speaking from experience long ago (and many stones lighter!) Chanel clothes are objects of beauty but not comfortable at all! The boucle tweed is super scratchy (first world problem I know.)

Great link @banivani thanks!

Kate's Chanel is one of my all time favourite looks on her. She had awesome shoes too that day.
I think she must have hired an impressive stylist for the French trip especially.
And agree she needs to bin the coat dresses for ever.

Eaumyword - that's so disappointing about the Chanel! I would have imagined a superb fit and comfort. Anyway, I'm never going to own anything other than the perfume so I don't suppose it matters!

This is one of my favourites - the red Preen dress, I like the simple line and the ballerina length.
