Actually, I think Kate looks nice, it's not so much a coat dress, it has a nice shape. It's lovely to see George and Charlotte with them as well.
Sophie's dress is nice and colourful.

@HeyGirlHeyBoy - I saw those dupes in M&S and recommended them to a poster yesterday who was looking for shoes for a wedding!

Kate looks absolutely fine and her make up is lovely. This is the classic look for her on such days. I quite like Zara's polka dot. Ridiculous wrt Harry and Meghan kissing on stage Confused

HeyGirlHeyBoy · 17/04/2022 12:07

Ah very good Maireas I saw them but didn't get them. I jad a lovely pair of similar colour flats years ago but finally had to give up the ghost on them after too much wear.

Maireas · 17/04/2022 12:14

They look classic, and just my thing. I looked on Vestiaire for authentic pre loved Chanel flat pumps but they were still about £300!

HeyGirlHeyBoy · 17/04/2022 12:20

Me too. ASL I think were the make I had, got them in Paul Fitzpatrick in Dundrum (I think you're in Ireland?) Not Chanel but a classic look at same time. Think they were 150e.

HeyGirlHeyBoy · 17/04/2022 12:22

I quite like this boucle jacket but I would style it differently. Still quite expensive..

Oh! Grin No Irish connection?! It must be the likeness of your name to Mairéad that made me think that!

KillingMeDeftly · 17/04/2022 12:30

I think that's a rewear for Kate? It's fine and appropriate for church. Louise looks nice but I don't like the oversized hat!

Maireas · 17/04/2022 12:33

My family is Irish, you're right about the connection! I just live in Yorkshire.

Louise's dress is from Hush. She looks lovely.

Kate always gets it perfect with Charlotte - the tights are much better than the ankle socks the other girls are wearing.

Not keen on Zara's dress she's too busty for a lot of what she wears. A v neck would help her look less trussed up!

Oh that’s so funny 😂 I always read it as ‘Maire as’ as in ‘Mary from’ in Irish
CliffsofMohair · 17/04/2022 13:09

I could live to be 100 and not be anywhere near as stylish as the Spanish princesses

Yes, @CliffsofMohair, it's an Irish name. Surname as well!
The Spanish princesses always look stylish.

Extra points to Leti for wearing white trousers without white stilletos Wink
I think the flats are Carolina Herrera re-wear

Ooh lots to see and talk about!
Louise looks lovely, just wish the hat had been a more tonal colour. James looks fab too. I love that they aren't buying into the whole insta ready big eyelash, lip filler norm of young people in the public eye.

I always find H&M kissing/holding hands etc a bit showy. Invictus is a great cause though, so I'll allow it just this once Easter GrinEaster Grin

I want to like Sophie's dress, but like me, she's big of boob and it looks slightly voluminous on top.

The Spanish RF look AMAZING! They just nail that naturally stylish-without-thinking-about-it look.

I used to have several pairs of Chanel ballet flats and (horror) even used to dogwalk in them in the summer! They were so comfy once worn in.

Maireas · 17/04/2022 16:18

More from Invictus, with a competitor's dog. Meghan in different jeans, cream jacket and suede heels.
That Netflix camera team certainly get up close, don't they?!.

I'm not sure about that cream jacket it's a bit bulky or the fit is off.

Is the Netflix programme just a general fly on the wall about them?

New photo of C and A for Easter

Maireas · 17/04/2022 16:49

I don't know, @hopeishere. They have some sort of deal, but I don't know what exactly.
Very nice Easter picture from Monaco!
I hope Charlene is ok, poor woman, she's had a miserable time.

Can't get excited about Kate.. looks good, but another coat dress 😴
Zara... just no, that dress does nothing for her and too similar to Kate's AR polka dot frocks.
Eugenie, Sophie and Louise all look great in their florals (except for Louise's hat - headband would have been better) - the pink is a lovely bright colour on her, and the style of the dress really suits her.
The Phillips sisters win in the kiddie fashion stakes for me - lovely trendy jumpsuit on Isla and lovely shape to the dress Savannah is wearing but not sure Autumn would have sanctioned the shoes and socks 😆 Princess C a bit matchy matchy with Kate, and would love to see a more modern alternative to the smocked dresses and tights now she's a bit older.
Spanish RF nailed it as usual.
Charlene looks lovely (love her short hairstyle) but the photo looks very staged. I hope she is starting to get better.

Nice to see Charlene with her children
She's in Celine dress apparently

I like Megs' look today.

paradyning · 17/04/2022 18:12

Is Zara's dress a shirt version of the Alessandra Rich one?

paradyning · 17/04/2022 18:12

*short ffs
