I think it might be genius for some to have distinctive looks like the fringe. If Claudia Winkelman removes her eye make up, fake tan and pins her fringe up she'd be completely anonymous. Pretty smart really! Wink

@banivani I've often wondered the same about CPV. With her hair down, would she be recognised?? Same for Daniel sans glasses and half a tub of hair gel.

banivani · 12/01/2022 12:17

Daniel maybe, CPV is instantly recognisable.

Love Sofia’s dress! Earrings, nice, and hair, okay (although not the best style for her, I don’t think). But with that lipstick along with those shoes? No.

I agree with @banivani - Victoria is instantly recognisable, certainly, I would expect, to any Scandinavian who is even remotely interested in Swedish royalty.

banivani · 12/01/2022 12:47

She and her brother have the Bernadotte jaw and chin I think. Hard to disguise! I think princess Beatrice would be able to hide a little without the heavy eye make up she uses, possibly. It's probably quite clever to be a bit schticky about your appearance in public.

Hmm, I thought I liked the fringe but then saw this photo, and now I’m not as keen. I think it comes from too high up her head.

It might look better down or in an up do with some height and without the earrings. She is still beautiful though 🙂

BeaLola · 12/01/2022 19:05

they are not earrings they are mini chandeliers {grin}

paradyning · 12/01/2022 21:00

Very odd look!!

KillingMeDeftly · 12/01/2022 21:43

Some royal one-shouldered looks. They've left out Meghan at those fashion awards, which I thought was one of her best looks, and Fergie's 80s ensemble has to be seen to be believed!

paradyning · 12/01/2022 21:55

The first 2 pics of Charlene are gorgeous! She suits a one shoulder with her shoulders. Hope she's doing ok. And the rocks in Max's earrings!!
The embroidery in her pink dark dress is stunning.
Ah Fergie Thanks

paradyning · 12/01/2022 21:56

*sari. Not dark.

justasking111 · 12/01/2022 22:06

One shoulder dresses are very hit and miss. The simpler the better IMO. Drills, bows and other adornments can destroy the look

Hels20 · 12/01/2022 22:42

That’s a lovely photo of Princess Bea in that Tatler montage. A very pretty dress - the pink and grey one (not the blue one which isn’t v flattering).

Maireas · 12/01/2022 22:48

That's a great article, thanks Deftly.
Max looks amazing, as per! I don't like Diana's first dress, it's too fussy. CPV looks lovely.
As for Sarah Ferguson......

Max looks so elegant in the pink dress.

MotherofPearl · 12/01/2022 23:31

Great article @KillingMeDeftly. My favourites are Charlene in the very plain grey dress, and CPM in the black. Both look stunning I think.

gluenotsoup · 13/01/2022 08:57

Yes, I like Charlene in the grey dress. I agree it needs to be quite simple and elegant to carry it off well.

gluenotsoup · 13/01/2022 08:59

I like this too .

Agree that simple is best but I also loved Martha Louise' sparkly silver number.

HonuOnMyKnees · 13/01/2022 10:26

I’ve name changed since I last posted on here, I mostly lurk and I lost you for ages! So glad to have found you again and for the sanctuary that these threads provide!

I never requested a tiara but if nobody has claimed the Dutch Diamond Bandeau I’d love to nab it please 🤞

My contribution in return is another Kate retrospective which I don’t think has been posted yet:

Ooh so much to look at lately! I love that Max bandeau too and Kate's white off the shoulder gown. Looks beautiful. Always envious of anyone who can wear white and not get food or diet coke down the front...

KillingMeDeftly · 13/01/2022 11:32

I loved Meghan's black velvet dress and she accessorised it beautifully. The shoes, jewellery and dark mani-pedi were just perfect!

paradyning · 13/01/2022 11:51

That Meghan look was pretty perfect although I remember being annoyed at her bump framing poses

Eaumyword · 13/01/2022 13:10

Me too @paradyning, but she did look great and the whole look was super sleek and stylish.
