Bea's dress is pretty. She looks well. Her shoes and bag are a little heavy colour wise for the dress. If she wore a nude heel though there would be uproar on here Smile

Sophie's pink trouser suit was ok. Nothing to write home about.

Love Bea’s dress, it fits beautifully, but the bow(!), shoes and bag don’t belong with it, too heavy looking. Edo, as always, is immaculate in his tailoring. I’m getting to look forward to what he’s wearing, he carrries it well.
Sophie looks nice, and HM was also in pink, with a pretty brooch.

I’ve no problem at all with nude shoes...I wear them myself. I do have a problem with always having to see the same, tedious, unimaginative, ubiquitous pair!

NiqueNique · 24/05/2022 10:33

(Apologies Kate!! However, I do believe I’m being harsh but fair...💐)

gluenotsoup · 24/05/2022 14:35

I haven’t noticed Kate in a pair recently, maybe she’s found some new faves, hopefully not the white stilettos …

NiqueNique · 24/05/2022 16:02

Yes she’s definitely branched out, which is nice to see! I think what she needs to get better at now is switching out various styles much more often, so that in a run of several weeks we don’t just see a load of almost identical repeats. Shoes make a huge difference to an outfit and it’d be great to see some more adventurous (as in not safely within whatever the current comfort zone is) choices.

LadyEloise1 · 24/05/2022 16:21

The Queen looked lovely yesterday. She's some woman for 96 !
I like a nude shoe myself @NiqueNique Blush

I can't warm to Edo. But that's not for this thread.

This! In a nutshell!
Nude shoes, in this instance, would have worked.

I have everything crossed... although I see Leti has developed a taste for them 🙄

CPV has gone mad for the flowery dresses. The flowers are slightly unfortunately placed though.

😀😮

Eaumyword · 24/05/2022 22:48

Oh no - the flowers look like they are cupping her boobs!🙈

Gooseysgirl · 24/05/2022 22:54

Those white stilettos are an abomination!!!

Gooseysgirl · 24/05/2022 23:06

Charlene and Gabriella went on a mother daughter night out to fashion awards in Monaco - couldn't find full length photo, keen to get a proper look at C's outfit!

That is such a sweet photo. It's really heartwarming to see Gabriella smiling (she's usually sombre/scowling in photos) and so happy with her Mum. <3

mathanxiety · 25/05/2022 03:45

I examine the photos of those children very closely every time I see one, and I feel very sad for them. That is not what I would term a happy, relaxed smile.

susiebluebell · 25/05/2022 06:47

Ah I think it's alright mathanxiety, she's at a big adult event, dressed up (looks like there might be a handbag there on her arm too?) and there's a photographer up in her face. I wouldn't have looked natural at her age either, and didn't, at much lower-stakes events! (There are some hilarious pics of me at various weddings!)

Maireas · 25/05/2022 07:31

The photo is sweet, and it's nice that they're at an event together.

Full length photo of Charlene and Gabriella

Both look sad and rather unhappy to be there to me.

hopeishere · 25/05/2022 09:36

I think that's just how Charlene looks to be honest. I've no idea what she's going through but she doesn't look happy to be there. I kind of wonder about the point of sending her to events to look glum and fuel further rumours.

Justkeeppedaling · 25/05/2022 09:44

Charlene looks fab. She never smiles though, never has.
I think G would look better without a fringe. Lovely photo otherwise

Gooseysgirl · 25/05/2022 10:08

Oh wow Ch looks stunning, my favourite outfit on her in a lonnnng time! Gabriella's first 'official engagement' apparently. I would probably have gone with a shorter party dress though... can't imagine Will & Kate's Charlotte turning up in similar 😆

KillingMeDeftly · 25/05/2022 11:04

I think I'd prefer Charlene's dress without the sleeves.

Eaumyword · 25/05/2022 13:40

I agree, @KillingMeDeftly that dress would be pure Hollywood glamour without the sleeves. With them, it looks very couture and I don't understand it! 😂
I also don't understand why Charlene looks so unhappy in every photo. She's an attractive woman, I don't know why she adopts such a pained expression, knowing that will be picked up on.
