Royal Style: Gucci and Chanel for the win, coat dresses for the bin!

[Maireas]

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

@Nnique - name your tiara of choice!

@Maireas I expect it will be difficult to think of one that isn’t spoken for!

Believe it or not, there are plenty left!
The wonderful posters on here could make some suggestions, I'm sure, but do a bit of research and see what takes your fancy!

It’s difficult because on the one hand I actually really love the Midnight Tiara (I know; I’m probably in the minority on that one!) and its modernity very much appeals to me, plus it’d be much easier to wear day-to-day...but I also very much love the pieces with history, and that romance of centuries-old jewels and family heritage is hard to resist. I’ll have a think.

Such fun to imagine actually owning such exquisite works of art.

That’s lovely @Nnique. That could be your starter tiara? For regular daywear and such 😆

The midnight tiara is lovely, great choice! It would be beautiful with a long midnight blue dress🥰

I’ve just spent a lovely half hour browsing the tiara mania site 👑 has anyone claimed this beauty? [[https://www.tiara-mania.com/2016/06/empress-alexandra-feodorovna-of-russias.html?m=1]] the Empress Alexandra Feodorovna of Russia’s drop Pearl kokoshnik. If not, can I put my name against it?

@QueryA - Empress Feodorovna's Drop Pearl Kokoshnik tiara ✔️
It's entered in the Spreadsheet of Splendour! A good choice. I love the Kokoshnik style.

Respect for All Leti supporting the Ukrainian people

Leti looks fab!
I like it! 🇺🇦

I love the sentiment and she looks amazing as ever.

@Tinitiny yes it’s just the thing for a spot of work/shopping/hoovering/cooking/scrubbing the toilet/etc

But it’s just not quite special enough for going ‘out out’, is it, so I’m going to need a fancy one too (I’m sure having more than one tiara is positively encouraged isn’t it??) so....

@Maireas Has anyone laid claim to the Russian Sapphire Wave Tiara?

If not I’ll have both of those please!

@gluenotsoup thank you

Oh oh oh! think I might have to have Margrethe’s Floral Aigrette tiara instead...goodness this is difficult.

I expect the (hideous) golden poppies headpiece is languishing unwanted somewhere at the back of the cupboard...

I like Letizia's statement blouse. The British royals would NEVER!

I love Leti's statement. 👏🏻
And the blouse looks great too.

Leti looks beautiful there, great choice, subtle but not!

Another big fan of Leti's blouse and the message it sends. Great to see.

@Nnique - just confirm your choices, and they're yours!

Another lurker in this peaceful and informative thread.

Have Will and Catherine ever gone to Greenland? I'd love to see them in the National Dress

I love Leti’s choice of blouse and the statement she makes by wearing it. She looks lovely too!
Charles was quite outspoken about his views when he & Camilla visited the Ukrainian Cathedral in London a couple of days ago, whereas normally the POW wouldn’t make any political statements. I suppose one could argue that his thoughts were humanitarian rather than political.

Some amusing photos from Maxima's visit to a housing foundation. Anyone want to suggest some captions?

@Nnique - Russian Sapphire Wave tiara ✔️
