Even without a tiara, Jenni Haukio looks lovely, I like that dress. Princess Sofia looks good in red, and a slender style. I'm not sure about her hair, though I suspect she's just growing out highlights.

@LadyEloise1 - YY to the advice not to brush your hair. Let it dry naturally. Take a look at the Curly Girl method.

LadyEloise1 · 21/05/2022 20:26

I just use a brush after it's been washed to detangle the top of it. Otherwise I use a wide toothed comb.
I'll investigate the curly girl method.

Agree re Zara- not a good colour on her but it blends with the wall behind her.

SeaRabbit · 22/05/2022 08:09

Zara's dress is dreadful- I think it looks very cheap with the reverse of the fabric being on show and so much paler. It also doesn't fit. It's a nice idea, but poorly executed and as others have said isn't the right colour for her. Sorry Zara.

Danes at the ballet to celebrate Queen’s accession to the throne 50 years ago. Single White Princess and the birthday girl looking very similar. Like Marie’s dress actually.

SWP looks good, nice hair. I like Princess Benedickte's outfit.

The Swedish banquet link that I posted yesterday has some unclaimed tiaras on, I believe, if anyone wants to top up their bling.
I'm just disappointed that we don't seem to get these state banquets very often here. I may writer to my MP. Or Camilla.

CPM must be livid that there's a 50th celebration that's not for her!

@KillingMeDeftly 😂
She does look a little morose!

I wonder does Mary look at Prince Joachim and think "He must fancy me...his 2nd wife looks so like me ."
I know if any of my brothers in law married someone who looked very like me I would be Shock

They do say imitation is the purest form of flattery though Smile

A state banquet in Stockholm, and some good tiara action from the Swedes! I like the colour and style of Queen Silvia's dress, it's very elegant, although the design of that order makes the whole thing somewhat ecclesiastical!
CPV in a lovely shade of blue, but I find the dress is a bit fussy, especially with all the orders she's wearing.

😱 The visible lacy bra lines on Queen Silvia's dress! Why did no one have a quiet word in her ear about choosing a t-shirt bra?

I'm afraid all of those Swedish banquet dresses are misses for me this time, though I bet it's a nightmare trying to choose something that will go with tons of orders hanging off you. Victoria's dress might have been nicer in a less formal context, with hair down and loose. Sofia looks beautifully groomed but the red colour is just garish to me...

Serenster · 23/05/2022 06:33

They seem to be wearing way more orders than usual to that banquet - must be very tricky to wrangle with a dress, but I agree susie, none of them quite hit the mark for me.

Meghan has been out presenting the prizes at Harry’s polo match, looking very “old Hollywood” glamourous. I think she looks amazing from the waist up - I had assumed she was wearing Katherine Hepburne-esque wide legged trousers (like the ones she wore to Wimbledon once) but it turns out it was a short white skirt, which just didn’t work with the top of her look, for me. (Love the outfit of the lady she’s with, though!).

Agree Meghan's proportions are wrong. Also the hair and hat don't work.

Spots at polo = Pretty Woman.

Eaumyword · 23/05/2022 08:14

Strange outfit - I like the top half and I like the bottom half, but not together! I think it makes her waist look thick although clearly it won't be.

I also love the outfit of the woman she's with!

Maireas · 23/05/2022 08:40

I agree, Serenster, the Swedish contingent seem to have gone to town with all those orders. Queen Silvia's chest thing alone must weigh about 5kg.
Meghan's outfit is a little strange - I agree that it would look better with wide legged trousers. High heels on grass? It seems to be a very formal affair. I like her blouse, though, and her friend's dress.

Agree re Meghan's outfit. In that first photo she looks fantastic, and the second is an unfug-it-up.

NiqueNique · 23/05/2022 09:42

Hey all! More tiaras you say, @Maireas?? I’ve not added one to my collection for a while... 👑👑👑

Meghan’s wearing pleated shorts at the polo. £670! I love the top and the hat, and the red lipstick looks great with it. I can just about get on board with the shorts too but I do wish she’d worn her hair differently.

Queen Margrethe’s jubilee celebration at Tivoli gardens included a ride on the rollercoaster, as specifically requested by the Queen.

Looks like a fun day 🤣

The shorts are by Khaite.
Glamorous look but I'm not sure the hair is her own.

£670 for a pair of shorts!!!! Madness.

AmberLynn1536 · 23/05/2022 13:52

Meghan’s outfit looks completely wrong, none of it works, the hat with the shorts just looks…..odd, the proportions are all wrong, not loving the bright lipstick or the hair which doesn’t look real to me, I normally love her style but this is a massive fashion fail in my book.

AmberLynn1536 · 23/05/2022 13:55

Meghan looks so effortlessly elegant at the polo in this picture, love this look.

A rare miss fashion wise by Meghan.
The stiletto shoes are daft unless she has those little plastic covers for the heels for the occasion.

LadyEloise1 · 23/05/2022 13:57

My post is in relation to the polka dot outfit not the lovely navy dress.
