@KillingMeDeftly

Apparently my grandmother had an aquamarine parure that got either lost or sold off by an aunt. How annoying!
How RUDE. You were robbed!

Aquamarine is gorgeous.

Oh for goodness sake I imagine that t shirt cost a few quid and looks cheap and nasty.

Like the trousers and plimmys.

KillingMeDeftly · 21/03/2022 21:32

It's just a plain white tshirt. I have no particular feelings towards it! I always think skinny jeans must be so uncomfortable in hot climates - I remember when W&K were in India they did a long hike and she was wearing skinnies that looked like they were giving her a wedgie too. In that heat I'm surprised she didn't get raging thrush!!!

I usually love her casual looks, but not loving Kate's look there. It's appropriate and casual so clearly does the job, but I wouldn't personally call it stylish.

MotherofPearl · 21/03/2022 22:16

CPV at an awards ceremony. She looks great I think, as she often does in proper evening dresses. I'm pretty sure we saw Leti in a very similar version of this H&M dress fairly recently?

Noticed yesterday that Kate's careful curls dropped out weather not conducive. Today it's straight, very sensible. I'd wear it in a ponytail in that heat

paradyning · 21/03/2022 23:06

I'm impressed with whatever t-shirt bra she has going on there. I want one (jn a very very much larger size).

RomainingCalm · 21/03/2022 23:27

I can't help thinking that there are some more comfortable (and stylish) clothing choices for trekking in that heat/humidity. The skinny trousers and tight t-shirt look very hot and sweaty.

Northernlurker · 22/03/2022 00:52

Kate is well used to the Caribbean, I'm sure she was prepared for the temperature today. Gorgeous evening dress tonight I thought.

edwinatheelephant · 22/03/2022 00:59

Agreed. The pink is gorgeous. But there is a real mismatch between Kate & William's outfits. They looked like they were going to different events!

Northernlurker · 22/03/2022 01:12

Looks like Wills forgot to pack his Caribbean evening dress Grin

mathanxiety · 22/03/2022 03:20

Is it me or are those espadrilles more saffron yellow than beige?

I can see the attraction of espadrilles - they are just slightly less formal then heels or sandals with heels while offering solid balance on grass or other uneven surfaces.

Agree with this. Love the dress and the colour. Her earrings are awful. Wonder if she's had a Brazilian blow dry to manage the frizz

It's a John Lewis tee so shouldn't be hard to find
KillingMeDeftly · 22/03/2022 07:03

The pink dress is gorgeous! Vampire's Wife again.

Lovely! Nice shoes too, and are they the earrings from the gold bond dress?
I think the cargo trousers and white tee are fine, they’re probably quite light weight and she looks appropriate. I saw other photos where she also had on boots and a utility jacket, I’ll see if I can find them.

The pink dress is Vampire's Wife, and I'm not fan, I don't like the shiny fabric nor the shade of pink.
I don't like the flat straight hair with the centre parting or the earrings. Many will disagree!
However, she's smiley and engaged and the pair of them look determined that it'll be a great tour, so that's what matters really.

Love the pink on her and the cut of the dress but don't like the material. Didn't like the material of the green one either so perhaps I'm just not a VW fan.

Maireas · 22/03/2022 07:37

I'm the same, Hey, I really dislike that shiny fabric (same for the green one).

She is channeling the Jane Seymour Domino look with her hair

Maireas · 22/03/2022 07:48

I wish she'd go for a glamorous up do, proper blingy earrings and an amazing dress.
Plus....a tiara 😉

But the other people at that reception were much more casually-dressed. I thought she looked a bit over-dressed, although I really liked what she was wearing and how she was wearing it.

frugalkitty · 22/03/2022 08:10

I like the colour on her and the shape of the neckline and sleeves but I'm not keen on the shimmer and also the ties that hang down the back of the 'belt'.....makes it a bit 70s party dress for me. Overall though, I like it.

Totally agree about her hair in the heat, I can't stand my hair down when it's warm!

LittleBearPad · 22/03/2022 08:11

She looked great. Beautiful colour and I liked her hair flatter.
