Royal Style: tiaras diamonds and bling, peplums and ruching not our thing

[Maireas]

Hello! New thread! Link to follow...

I don't see it,personally. Caroline and Charlotte are beautiful and Stephanie in her youth was attractive, as are her daughters, but I don't think any of Grace's descendants look like her!

I agree @KillingMeDeftly . Grace obviously contributed significantly to the family’s general attractiveness, but I think her children all took after Ranier’s family rather than their mother - Caroline especially (who is a finer-featured version of her paternal grandmother seen with baby Prince Ranier here) . I wonder if Albert and Charlene’s twins might get more of the Grace Kelly genes?

Sorry @CliffsofMohair I can't see it either.

@Serenster I think Gabriella is very much like Stephanie and her younger daughter and Jacques is all Charlene.

@CliffsofMohair I can see Grace in Camille (mouth, bone structure, face shape but in a blunter/squarer way iyswim)

Plus Instyle magazine see it

However we can all see different elements in the same image/person at different times so no one is wrong.
For example I can look at my DD & one day she is just me, another day she's her Father, another day she's my youngest DSis & another day she is one of my cousins.

I do see a likeness in that photo comparison, but I am totally distracted by the cigarette! Somebody whip it out of her mouth right now! Can't believe smoking is fashionable again/still with people my generation and younger (I'm early 30s).

CPM has been to a birthday party - this time not one of her (many) own, but a friend's!

Are these shoes gold or yellow? According to our friends at NMR she's wearing a shortened version of the Temperley black textured trellis gown under the coat.

Here's a photo of her wearing the full length gown in 2016. I really like it, and of course it's right up Kate's style street too!

Just how in the name of all that is holy does she manage to stride out in vertiginous needle sharp heels across cobbles and not fall arse over tit? That is some skill.
Anyway, that looks like an interesting dress, and Fred has smartened up a bit, so small mercies.

Oh, that's actually quite nice full length. A teeny bit racy, but I'm guessing that's a nude slip. It would suit Kate, or SWP 😉.
Just how big are Fred's feet?

Those yellow shoes are very Sex and the City!

I like the concept of CPM's dress but the execution is a bit sloppy as the lining looks bunched up.

You know what they say about men with big feet 😉

They wear big shoes??

😂😂😂

@KillingMeDeftly

That's probably true, but it's not what I was thinking about

Little article about Meghan's bodysuit in today's Times. The writer likes the suit but says her trousers are really badly-fitting. I've had a bit of a look but I can only see photos where they fit very well:

I want Meghan’s body(suit).

Interesting article. I can see that the bodysuit looks good on Meghan but it would look hideous on me. I have a long body and am exceptionally flat-chested, and I think the bodysuit look would accentuate this in a very unflattering way!

I love Mary's outfit to the party.
I think I'd have those shoes in silver though with the shortened dress.

The trousers looked linen-ish so more crumpled than ill fitting.

Queen's birthday today lovely picture with the fell ponies

Yes I like the pony picture, though it made HMQ look even more Lilliputian than usual.
