Well I think she looks fabulous there! I 💕 that colour and style on her.

Nnique · 19/03/2022 22:22

I agree she’s got it as right as she can with that one - shows her figure nicely and is well proportioned imo.

Maireas · 19/03/2022 22:26

Like it. Bit more chic than the coatdress.
William looks good, that's a nice suit, the paler shade is appropriate.

She's dressed in the colour of the Belize flag.

I find her literal dressing so charming. Grin

It's warm there 30c day time 23c at night. Too hot for me

paradyning · 19/03/2022 23:01

I really like the cut and the colour of that dress. Shock I know.
She really suits pencil dresses. I quite like the cut of Will's suit too

I really love the cut and colour of the suit but not the lace fabric. Can’t wait to see the rest of the outfits over the next few days.

AdaColeman · 19/03/2022 23:22

I think Kate looks lovey in that blue lace outfit, it looks like a suit to me but could be a dress. The fit is perfect, and the lace detail is very pretty.
A very pretty bag too, with scallops to match the lace scallops on her outfit.

I like that it’s the colour of the Belize flag, and Kate must have needed great restraint not to have added red accessories so she was “full on Belize flag”!

Apparently the kerfuffle about their plans was to do with a visit to a farm Will’s charity supports. They were due to land their helicopter on a local football pitch, which angered local residents, so the visit was cut from their itinerary.

KillingMeDeftly · 19/03/2022 23:26

I dislike lace so now I've seen better photos I like it even less! And why so matchy-matchy with shoes and clutch? Let's hope for better from tomorrow!

KillingMeDeftly · 19/03/2022 23:27

William is spot on with the pale suit though.

RomainingCalm · 19/03/2022 23:42

I'm sorry, I don't like it. I don't like the lace, the peplumy waist, the matchy shoes, even the colour. Her hair looks lovely (clutches at straws). I'm a bit disappointed as Jenny Peckham usually produces some winners for Kate but imo this isn't one of them.

I should also add that I inevitably get off long-haul flights looking like a bag of washing so I'm probably not qualified to comment.

William’s pale suit is ok but it looks as if he is wearing his favourite dark suede shoes with it.

Hate it. Coast c1992 mother of the bride.

Come on Catherine you can do better.

LadyEloise1 · 20/03/2022 00:38

I like her blue suit. It's a lovely colour.
Why is William wearing such a dark tie with the pale suit ?
Is it black ?
The knot looks too small for the collar.

Oh yes agree about the lace. And I love lace! It is a very heavy lace it seems now I've seen a better photo. 😂 about the red.
Gooseysgirl · 20/03/2022 06:12

Awful. V necks just don't suit her at all and the lace just looks dated. And the literal dressing is really getting boring now sorry!!

Tinitiny · 20/03/2022 06:31

I love the colour and the shape. The lace is a little heavy though (and isn’t it very hot there?).

Looking forward to the rest of the outfits though :)

frivolitynow · 20/03/2022 06:52

I prefer the outfit of the official who met them. The colours are fabulous.

Yes, I like the green trouser suit as well. I think that's the Governor General in the grey dress.
Kate is wearing shoes with a 4.2" heel, according to What Kate Wore. I'd like to see her vary her shoe style a bit. She's dwarfing the other people in all the photographs and stooping slightly.

I'm not crazy about the blue lace outfit. I think the best I can say about it is that it fits beautifully. The whole thing - lace, skyscraper heels - all looked a bit too formal to me.

amarante · 20/03/2022 08:38

Is Kate wearing tights? If so, does anyone know which ones? Looking for some for a wedding in two weeks. Thank you

HeyGirlHeyBoy · 20/03/2022 08:42

Too formal for sure and the heels are OTT.

Serenster · 20/03/2022 08:44

I wasn’t so keen on Kate’s suit/dress when seen from afar, but liked it a lot more when I realised it was made of lace - I think the texture really adds interest to it. It’s been a good few years since we’ve seen her in a lace dresses too, I think?

HeyGirlHeyBoy · 20/03/2022 08:48

I think lace formal dress in a sunny climate looks wrong.

They never release details about Kate's tights, the best bet is to start a thread on S&B asking for recommendations for your event.
You'll get some good responses, people on S&B are brilliant!

Beautiful colour on her and I love the lace! It’s an interesting cut (I do love a pencil skirt and peplum) but not sure the sleeves suit the silhouette. It fits her like a dream though. Not a fan of the matchy matchy accessories though, she should have added some different colours into the ensemble. And as per usual, beautiful hair, make up and jewellery.
