Royal style continues!
Thanks to Deftly for the thread title. Let's hope there's more Gucci and Chanel.....fewer coat dresses..,.

Also have a look at the Dutch collection. They have some stunners.

MotherofPearl · 24/02/2022 21:25

What about the Romanov Pearl Tiara? Has anyone already nabbed it @Maireas? If nobody else wants it I may add it to the Fife, which is my everyday tiara.

CPM handing out some awards in an outfit that does nothing for her imo. I don't like that belted in top.

My best is the third photo. The kid in the front is giving slight side-eye and looks as if he's feeling how we all did about Mary around the week of her 50th birthday celebrations where I think we all really reached CPM saturation point!

Haha! We are all that little boy!

Eaumyword · 24/02/2022 21:59

I normally like CPM's outfits but that belted blouse is uncomfortably early 80's flashback for me. We all wore bright silky polyester blouses with a black belt over black trousers or a calf length black skirt. Thought we were the bees knees.
Definitely CPM overkill lately, love the boy's expression!

Maireas · 24/02/2022 22:05

No, not taken, @MotherofPearl.
Added to your collection!

Ah yes the belted blouse 🤭

That's an amazing 80s photo justasking!

Good news about my new tiara, thanks @Maireas. I did think my name alone entitled me to first dibs on a pearl tiara. Grin

I quite like that look of Mary’s. I’m starting to worry about my style sense though if everyone else hates it😳

SenecaFallsRedux · 25/02/2022 13:04

That spreadsheet has me down for the Meander, right? It's my favorite for two reasons: its lovely style and its association with Princess Alice, Prince Philip's mother.

Welcome to the this little corner of MN, @PeekabooAtTheZoo.

chesterelly1 · 25/02/2022 13:21

Sorry to break it to you Seneca but the Meander is mine.

gluenotsoup · 25/02/2022 13:27

Ooh, handbags at dawn. Make it a push one

gluenotsoup · 25/02/2022 13:27

Posh… sigh

justasking111 · 25/02/2022 18:02

Gawd I know I requested one but can't recall if my request was accepted

KillingMeDeftly · 25/02/2022 18:22

Think I've got Meghan's wedding tiara, not that I can remember its name!

Maireas · 25/02/2022 19:09

The Spreadsheet of Splendour does indeed indicate that the Meander tiara isChesterelly's.
I don't have anything down for you, Seneca, I was thinking that there was an obvious gap there.
Justasking - what was your request?
KillingMeDeftly owns Meghan's wedding tiara aka Queen Mary's bandeau.

I have the Spencer tiara and shares in the lovers knot, I think.

Maireas · 25/02/2022 19:34

That's right, Frugalkitty

Oh yay! My memory is awful these days so that's good going for me Grin

Eaumyword · 25/02/2022 20:23

I thought I maybe had claimed the Chatsworth Devonshire tiara plus a big diamond/pearl parure suite that nobody else wanted, but I can't remember! I do like to lay claim to lots of earrings along the way! Grin

Maireas · 25/02/2022 20:38

Eaumyword you most definitely have Daisy's Stonking Pearl Parure! (Also the Chatsworth)

If the Meander is taken, I will have to do some research. I like a bit of subtlety in a tiara, which is a somewhat difficult attribute to find. Smile
Maireas · 25/02/2022 20:50

Good idea, Seneca! Do some research and stake your claim!

frugalkitty · 25/02/2022 21:09

Seneca Kate's wedding tiara is quite subtle as tiaras go, but depending on your hair, Charlene's wedding 'thingy' headdress would be a nice alternative to a full on tiara.
