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

[Maireas]

Hello! New thread! Link to follow...

Our seagulls take ice creams and chips 😁😁

Saw this picture this morning

Ah, that explains the birthday picture. That's so nice.

Is the middle photo actually HMQ? Looks like an impersonator to me!

I think it is her! She did go through a phase in late middle age when she looked a bit different, maybe her face was a bit rounder and hadn't settled into proper elderly elegance yet? I've seen footage from the mid-80s to mid-90s when she looks like that.

I sort of like Sophie's dress in the above link, just wish that the print was a bit bigger! It teeters on the edge of tea cosy print - though overall I think she pulls it off and looks lovely. A bigger version of that print would be properly summery.

Lovely dresses so far on Sophie. My fave is the float cream one with big spots by Suzannah.

*Floaty even 🙄

Here it is, @Tinitiny - I think it's cool and elegant look. Suzannah seems to be her go to label.

Good lord, what is this hideousness on Kate's head?

Looks like Prince Edward heeded the advice on here - his suit is single breasted 

Love the polka dot dress on Sophie.

Agree re the hideousness of the thing on Kate's head, @womaniswomaniswoman
I'm not sure the creamy ivory colour suits her either.

Not the biggest fan of Kate's latest look, but I love that she (they?) went to the Anzac Day service. <3

No it's a draining colour on her I think @LadyEloise10 Added to the kitchen roll strapped across her head and I'm not sure this is her best look.

FFS, this update is doing my head in!

I do like it, lovely cut and very summery :)

Sorry for dropping off this a bit, this new format isn’t very nice to use is it? It’s putting me off a bit.
I don’t much like the sweatband style of hat thingy. Sophie looks nice in the polka dots 😀

Isn't that the dress Kate wore to Harry and Meghan's wedding? If not then it's a very similar cut.

The one for the wedding was a pale yellow but thin the same design.

Apparently it's what she wore to Charlotte's christening. It's quite a snoozesome coat dress.

Yes that dress of Kate's is very familiar Deftly. I thought it was the one she wore to Charlotte's christening. Also not a fan of that awful headband.

I'm afraid I'm a dissenting voice on Sophie’s floaty polka dot dress. I don't think the pale colour or flimsy fabric do anything for her. I think she needs clothes that are more structured. Though I think she's a huge asset to the RF I generally find her clothes a lot more miss than hit.

It's tricky for Sophie in the heat and humidity.
I think she looks fresh and summery.
Ye gods, Kate - step away from the coat dresses, please! The yellow one she wore to Harry and Meghan's wedding wasn't great but she was only about 4 weeks post partum, so we'll give her a pass.
Today's head thingy? Just no.

I love Sophie's dotty dress.
Kate always looks fab in those coat dresses (I know I'm practically the only one to think that!)😂
But just NO to the Anne Boleyn Tudor headgear...

Beatrice Borromeo at a Dior gala in Venice for the biennale.

She's a brand ambassador and obviously this is High Fashion but I can't say I love the dress, though she looks spectacular and I do love the earrings!

I say 'dress', but it's more like a corset, knickers, a weird cage/frame plus a cape?

Yes, I'm not sure what the outfit is, @MotherofPearl - however, if you're the brand ambassador for Dior, I don't suppose you'd mind what they sent you!

How would you sit down in that?! She does look fab though.
