I think the colour of Kate’s coat is fab on her! Funny how we see things differently eh?

AdaColeman · 10/05/2022 20:40

A lone voice here, but I love Leti in her fuchsia pink cut out dress. By Spanish fashion brand Cayro, it sells at €61. As usual Leti is wearing heels the height of which would give a lesser woman a nose bleed!
She looks abs-olutely fabulous!

I love the colour too. I have a linen oversized shirt in this colour too

Think Camilla is wearing Sole Bliss shoes today, I like two tone

mathanxiety · 10/05/2022 22:54

Love Camilla's outfit, and especially those two tone shoes. Looking good from head to toe.

Love KM's Manchester outfit - suitably sombre for a memorial event imo, and the bee earrings are a lovely touch. The coat dress colour is so much nicer than her usual harsh dark blue.

Sophie doubling down on the plaid trews. Not a great look imo. Reminds me of golfers in the 1970s. The green jacket is very golf clubby too.

I don't like the flash of ribcage through the cut outs on Letizia's dress. Being that thin can't be healthy. I love the dress itself.

Sweet little Charles and his doting parents Smile. A lovely family.

paradyning · 10/05/2022 23:15

Kate's worn that coat somewhere before. Can't think where. The outfit is appropriate but too dull to mention. Handbag and earring kudos though!

Macuisle · 10/05/2022 23:32

I love Camilla's outfit and shoes.
Leti can pull off that pink dress, it's a gorgeous colour on her.
Kate looks well.
It's a miss for Sophie imo.

SenecaFallsRedux · 11/05/2022 00:33

I agree that Sophie's ensemble looks like American country club circa 1970, especially those trousers. As for Leti, evidently when cold shoulder tops and dresses went out of style, the what-you-must-wear powers that be have decreed that cold midriff is the replacement (I've even seem some pictures of midriff cutouts on wedding dresses). I am not a fan.

I agree Camilla looked great at the opening of Parliament. I want her shoes.

susiebluebell · 11/05/2022 07:31

I think the magenta colour suits Leti's dark hair, but the fabric is all wrong somehow - clingy and yet baggy/loose? It does enhance her thinness, especially around the shoulders and arms. Not flattering.

And I was all prepared to slate Kate for choosing a coat dress, but I actually think she looks lovely. The colour is an unsuial one for her and it works.

Maireas · 11/05/2022 07:34

Yes, I agree - I really like that strong colour on Leti, but the cut and the fabric are very unflattering.

The Cambridges are in Scotland today and tomorrow so no doubt Kate has got the tartan coat ready!

Eaumyword · 11/05/2022 08:25

I love Kate in the blue tweedy style coat dress, she looks great.
Love Sophie's green jacket, but the trousers are a tad Rupert the Bear.
Love Leti's pink but agree the fit is awful. It looks polyester, but I'll bet it's not - probably silk, which can also cling unflatteringly.

AdaColeman · 11/05/2022 08:43

Yes, Kate has worn that Michael Kors tweed swing coat several times, first seen in 2014 at the ANZAC ceremonies in Australia, and since then, often worn at memorial/commemorative events.

AdaColeman · 11/05/2022 08:50

Having a Tunnocks tea cake to get in the mood for Kate’s Scottish trip!

gluenotsoup · 11/05/2022 09:38

A big fat no from me re Leti’s dress, it just looks cheap to me, but I’m sure it wasn’t 😂.
I like the green jacket on Sophie but not the Rupert trews.
Kate looks fine, strikes the right tone for the event. Good earrings 🐝

LadyEloise10 · 11/05/2022 11:23

I'd take Leti's fuschia outfit any day over Sophie's ghastly green jacket and plaid trousers. I wasn't too keen on her green dress either.

Hope we can agree to disagree Smile

chesterelly1 · 11/05/2022 12:24

The tartan was not really in evidence the last time they were this side of the Border. Maybe saltire blue and some thistle earrings

CliffsofMohair · 11/05/2022 12:39

frugalkitty · 10/05/2022 17:17

Sorry, a photo would help!

Someone on my school run was wearing very similar Sophie checked pants this morning. But had a looser fit jacket with them. The trousers didn’t try and steal the show.

KillingMeDeftly · 11/05/2022 13:21

No tartan in sight!

Serenster · 11/05/2022 14:09

Oh - I have that Cefinn blouse that she’s wearing there! Well, of course it’s a great choice 😁

chesterelly1 · 11/05/2022 14:11

No tartan and I'm claiming that as saltire blue 🔮 just call me Mystic Ches. Anyone seen a close up of the earrings?

chesterelly1 · 11/05/2022 14:13

I don't like Tunnocks tea cakes (sacrilege I know) so I'll reward myself with a caramel wafer instead

LadyEloise10 · 11/05/2022 15:39

@chesterelly1 I'm with you on the Tunnocks tea cakes. Not crazy about the caramel wafers either. Give me a chocolate Kimberly or Time Out and I'm happy.

KillingMeDeftly · 11/05/2022 16:06

I think it's the second time she's worn Cefinn recently.

Eaumyword · 11/05/2022 16:46

Ooh, another gorgeous look for Kate. I bet she's wearing tartan bra and pants, just to secretly keep the literal dressing going 😜

Maireas · 11/05/2022 16:47

As Ada said, about £52, so not that pricey. It should still hang well, though!
That's a really nice outfit of Kate's - is she moving away from the literal dressing?
Well I love Tunnocks teacakes and caramel wafers!
