I agree, @gluenotsoup - Sophie's pink dress isn't great. I really like the garden party outfit, though.

I'm sure she is wearing tights. My mum was a stickler for tights for a formal occasion. I line the dress but she could be a bit more adventurous. I think that flared skirt is a good shape on her as she's very up and down.

Sophie looks lovely. Love the bag.

Eaumyword · 18/05/2022 19:57

Definitely wearing nude tights 👍
Oh my eyes, the bright pink dress - Sophie looks like she forgot to take off her dressing gown 😯 She did look wonderful today though.

Maireas · 18/05/2022 19:59

Yes, @hopeishere , I was admiring Sophie's clutch, and wondering where it's from.

I’ve seen the coat dress being described as ‘coral’ in the media. It’s a nice enough colour, very summery, but I’m not sure it suits Kate’s colouring. I’m not a fan of the dress or overall outfit, it’s something what the Queen would wear.

justasking111 · 18/05/2022 20:20

The block colour worn at garden parties I recall reading was ao they stood out for the guests that is why the queen wears them. So the royals maybe have a dress code colour wise for crowded occasions

Bearsbearsbears40 · 18/05/2022 20:43

I really like Kate’s dress! 😂

It's too warm today for a coat dress she must feel the cold. The colour is lovely though. Sophie looking lovely and summery

People usually say it's too cold for a coat dress when she is in one in a drafty old church in winter and that she must either have fantastic thermals or not feel the cold! She must have fabulous temperature regulation!

Maireas · 18/05/2022 20:48

It's a funny garment, though, isn't it?
Neither one thing nor the other.

Princess Alexandra was also at the garden party representing HM. Seems a shame she didn’t get a mention - so here she is, looking quite fabulous. 😊

How nice to see Alexandra, elegant as ever! She's still involved in events.

gluenotsoup · 18/05/2022 21:57

She’s 85! I hope I look like that at her age 😳😊

MotherofPearl · 18/05/2022 22:02

Princess Alexandra looks great, especially for 85. Very chic.

StartupRepair · 18/05/2022 22:46

Lots to look at! Re the Swedes, Sofia's white dress is really weird around the bust area.

KillingMeDeftly · 19/05/2022 10:14

More from Sweden. I like both CPV's and Sofia's dresses. At least I think Sofia is wearing a dress - the photo makes it look a bit like a culotte jumpsuit!

KillingMeDeftly · 19/05/2022 17:22

Top Gown occasion tonight! I wonder if Kate will bring out an old gown or opt for something new? I'd like to see her in something a bit different- maybe a plunging neckline or a shorter hem. It's a film premiere so she can up the glam a bit!

Maireas · 19/05/2022 17:26

Some nice looks from the Swedish contingent. Sofia looks lovely.
I hope Kate goes for glamour, she always seems to hold back, which was why the Bond dress was such a pleasant surprise.

Love Sofia's lipstick colour. That blue is harsh imo. KM wears it a lot and I don't like it. I think Sofia is the best looking and usually best dressed of the lot in Scandinavia.

Photo 7 shows a profile of Charlene with the odd facial wrinkling I noticed before.

It looks as if HMQ was signaling support for Ukraine at the Elizabeth Line event with those blue flowers on her yellow hat.

KillingMeDeftly · 19/05/2022 19:39

It's a tribute to Brenda and Kelly's matching prom dresses from Beverly Hills 90210! Apparently Roland Mouret.

Underwhelming

BornBlonde · 19/05/2022 19:48

So disappointing! I really wanted something super glamorous

Anne & Sophie looked great at their event

dolphinsarentcommon · 19/05/2022 19:58

Earrings are pretty.

KillingMeDeftly · 19/05/2022 20:06

It's really sleek and her hair looks great but I guess we were expecting something with more of a bang after the Bond dress!

Maireas · 19/05/2022 20:08

Kate looks good - her arms! 💪
She looks very smooth and chic. I know others on here disagree, but I'm not keen on the straightened hair with the centre parting (we've talked about this before, I know I'm in the minority!)
