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..,.

A great photo of Charlie playing at being a farmer, with his clean shiny wellies and artisanal bucket and basket! I like to think that Camilla is just out of shot, dressed as Marie Antoinette!

Guess I played at being a farmer then, we only had poultry which fits into full time jobs elsewhere well ☹️

@justasking111
Charles looks as though he's playing at farming because everything about him in that photo is so sparklingly clean, new and shiny, not because there are only chicken in the photo!
None of the many farmers I know look like that on a normal working day.

I don't think Charles is fooling anyone in his crisply pressed shirt, pristine trousers and spotless wellies.

I love Charles in that photo, maybe not a very authentic farming outfit but he always looks quite happy in his Country Casuals.

Yes, he does! He’s very into organic everything isn’t he, and I suspect outdoors is where he’s happy.
Also like a man in pink. 😊

Actually I like pink in general😂, there are some fabulous royal outfits in pink, I’ll go and have a look for my favourites.

@gluenotsoup Kate wore a pale pink coat when pregnant. I thought that was gorgeous. Such a beautiful shade of pink. Sorry I can't do links.

PW in pink

So weird seeing William with hair!

You just copy them from the URL bar in your browser and paste into MN. There's no need to fiddle around with brackets anymore as the link will still work.

Did anyone watch this? It featured Lord Ivar Mountbatten, who is fairly closely related to the royals. I think he's godfather to Eugenie? Or maybe one of the Wessex kids?

I like William in pink too!
@LadyEloise1was it this one? I agree it’s lovely. Kate’s had a lot of great pink outfits, I’m pushed to choose my favourite. I quite like this Orla Kiely dress as it’s just pretty. I do prefer the softer pink rather than hot pink but will make an exception for Wills😊

And I love this from CPV at the state banquet with Spain. I know it’s not full on pink, but it’s gorgeous, and I love the aquamarine tiara paired with it 💕

I loved that on CPV. It reminded me of this Galliano dress Cate Blanchett once wore to the Oscars.

That’s lovely too 😊

Yes it is, thank you @gluenotsoup.
Her Mum wore that colour as MoB at Pippa's wedding. It was lovely on her as was the blue she wore at Kate's.

Kate's out and about for Shout today, wearing an olive-green paisley midi dress. Has she borrowed Camilla's favourite boots? 😜

I'm not keen on that olive green dress of Kate's I'm afraid. I don't like the colour or print, and I really dislike those flouncy hemlines. Plus the fabric looks far too thin and flimsy for midwinter dressing. Apart from that it's great!

Bizarrely, Charlotte Casiraghi has opened the Chanel show in Paris... on horseback! I really don't even know how to respond to this! I know she's brand ambassador, but still seems a pretty strange way to include her.

Oh I like Kate's dress there! I think she looks great.

Charlotte Casiraghi is a showjumper I think, so maybe the link there, but you know how the fashion houses work - anything to be a bit different and innovative (and get headlines!)

Charlotte looks so much like her mother in that second photo.

I quite like Kate's dress, though the colour would do nothing for me. It's by Derek Lam but I thought it was Zara!

I quite like the colour and pattern. I have similar colouring to Kate and it suits me so I’m always drawn to greens. I’m not as keen on the overall shape and fabric, the high neck, buttons down and long sleeves looks a bit uncomfortable. A softer knit style would have been my choice, it looks more snug and tactile. Nice boots 😊
