I think you can see what a delicate pretty dress it is. I really like it.
But I like the blue one from day 1 too.
And the YSL

Northernlurker · 24/03/2022 16:21

Here's a thought - lace doesn't crease so much does it? So good for warmer weather, in and out of transport etc?

Nnique · 24/03/2022 16:31

I like it. Yes it’s an identikit Kate outfit...but she’s going to have one or two of those on a tour! And it does fit the occasion - elegant, classic. Not a fan of the shoes but I guess she couldn’t go anywhere else with a full white outfit.

I like it better than the blue, on balance. I think.

Nnique · 24/03/2022 16:32

Oh is it cream? That’s better.

I do like her in that style of hat, it really suits her.

Eaumyword · 24/03/2022 16:38

Howling at eels not jewels - makes more sense now! I was worrying I'd missed something!GrinGrin
Agree, Kate looks absolutely elegant and beautiful in that seated photo and I'd like to look like that!
Not gonna happen as I usually sit in chocolate/throw drinks down my front...
Also got a few stone and years on her!Wink

RomainingCalm · 24/03/2022 16:45

In the context of the military parade it's a lovely outfit and perfect alongside William in his tropical uniform. I like that neckline and the hat is beautiful.

(I won't mention the shoes!)

LadyEloise1 · 24/03/2022 16:48

I too thought it was very Ascot.
Lovely dress.
There's another thread on here relating to Kate and how she looks.
I do think she looks different. Subtle but different.

gluenotsoup · 24/03/2022 16:52

Yeh, I would like to look so elegant and composed. Sadly, our shared dark hair, green eyes and 3 kids is very much where any similarities stop. 😂

SnottyLottie · 24/03/2022 16:52

She looks so elegant in the seated photo 😍

KillingMeDeftly · 24/03/2022 18:36

I was thinking I'd seen HMQ in a similar outfit and I was right! She looks lovely and it's perfectly appropriate for the occasion. I just wish she'd gone with the Aquazurra heels instead of the plain white ones! They're £415 but white stilettos are white stilettos!

Great that your friend managed to catch a glimpse of Camilla's famous boots irl Hey! Grin

Kate is trolling me with the white shoes now.

KillingMeDeftly · 24/03/2022 19:12

They're off to the Bahamas now - blue dress to get off the plane?

TheHoptimist · 24/03/2022 19:15

That white dress is hideous

Very Debbie McGee

KillingMeDeftly · 24/03/2022 19:23

I was getting ahead of myself as I missed what she wore to get on the plane. No idea who the designer is - maybe Emilia Wickstead?

Aquamarine, possibly gold as well? Black shoes?

Maireas · 24/03/2022 19:33

I really like that green dress, and that's an interesting brooch. I'm not keen on her hair, though, it's a bit too dark and flat and I don't like the centre parting. It's a bit Wallis Simpson.

SirSidneyRuffDiamond · 24/03/2022 19:41

I think that the hummingbird brooch might be a nod to Jamaica's national bird?

chesterelly1 · 24/03/2022 19:44

Like the green dress but she's a bit Frida Kahlo with the centre parting up do and the dark brows

Gooseysgirl · 24/03/2022 19:45

I think the all white outfit was terrible sorry. LOVE the dress this afternoon, this shape and neckline really suits her!

Gooseysgirl · 24/03/2022 19:46

I'm guessing it was easier to leave the hair up after this morning's outfit with the hat.

Nnique · 24/03/2022 19:47

Yes the neckline is lovely. I agree it’s a great dress.

Funnily enough @Maireas I saw a bit of Wallis Simpson in her in one of the photos from earlier in the week! Can’t remember which one though.

Maireas · 24/03/2022 19:48

Not keen

Apparently the hummingbird brooch was given to the Queen during her last trip to Jamaica.

Nnique · 24/03/2022 19:51

Oh that’s a nice touch then. I like it.

Maireas · 24/03/2022 19:53

It's nice that she's borrowed some of HM's jewellery. Also that she's clearly referencing some of her outfits as well.
