HMQ was certainly glamorous in her youth. It makes me laugh when I see stories about her telling Kate she can't wear strapless dresses etc as she wore them all back in the day!

MrsFin · 01/12/2021 17:46

You can see the resemblance to Charlotte Cambridge in the first photo particulary

GrouchyKiwi · 01/12/2021 18:30

Yes, and William in the second.

That first dress on QE2 looks like a bunch of garage flowers. I bet it was utterly stunning in the flesh.

It's nonsense, isn't it! Same about nail polish etc She never said any such thing. I sometimes wonder what goes on in some journalists minds!

Garage flowers! True. Looks gorgeous though.

There's something about the first dress that makes it look entirely sheer. Am sure HMQ would NEVER though!

gluenotsoup · 01/12/2021 19:23

She was certainly very feminine and beautiful, I do love the glamour of that era. The first dress is very sensuous, HM looks slightly sozzled actually, as well as slightly sizzling 😂

Sophie visited a disability initiative today, and helped to make Christmas wreaths. Love the coat (and hat!). Dislike the trousers and boots.

Sorry Sophie, those trousers really don't go with that coat and jumper. The hat's good though! 😊

gluenotsoup · 01/12/2021 20:59

Ooh, no. Sophie looks like she got dressed in the dark today.

paradyning · 01/12/2021 21:02

Oh deary me. Lovely shade of blue though.

KillingMeDeftly · 01/12/2021 21:20

That blue is a great colour on Sophie. I love a wrap coat but not with those trousers.

Eaumyword · 01/12/2021 21:48

Individually, I like each piece but put together, the outfit is awful.
Has she actually got a Santa hat on or is the Christmas tree photo bombing her?!

mathanxiety · 01/12/2021 22:00

To be fair to Sophie, nobody looks good in snot green.

justasking111 · 01/12/2021 22:21

The jumper is an awful shape but a gorgeous colour

I thought the same and zoomed in on the photo but she actually is wearing it!
MotherofPearl · 01/12/2021 22:54

Goodness me, poor Sophie has strayed far from the herd with her outfit choice today. She is lovely but I'm afraid her fashion sense has deserted her on this occasion.

frugalkitty · 02/12/2021 11:54

Kate is at the V&A faberge egg exhibition! I'm at the end of my lunch break so I haven't got time to post more but there's lots of pics on IG so I'm sure someone can find a good link this afternoon!

Eaumyword · 02/12/2021 12:11

Something about Kate looks so chic in a black face mask!

justasking111 · 02/12/2021 12:38

Some gorgeous pieces at the V&A museum if anyone gets there pictures please

RomainingCalm · 02/12/2021 13:15

It's a win for Kate from me.

I'll never be a fan of the pussybow blouses but I love the paisley print on her. It's a nice change. Can't see much of the trousers but yes, she manages to look very chic in the black mask.

(Lovely eggs as well - maybe I could have one alongside my tiara?).

I went to that exhibition- it was very interesting and so many eggs! I wasn't expecting more than 3.

Many of the exhibits belong to her Maj. Carl Faberge opened his London shop because of Queen Alexandra who was the sister of a Tsarina so used to his beautiful work.

LadyEloise1 · 02/12/2021 14:18

I love that colour blue Sophie's wearing.
Carolyn Donnelly The Edit dunnesstores.com has lovely cashmere scarves, gloves, snoods and beanies in that lovely blue colour and they are reasonably priced if anyone is interested.

I bought the scarf. It's lovely and soft.
