Royal Style - make way for the Platinum Jubilee, tiaras are a necessity

[Maireas]

Hello! New thread, will send a link

St Paul's is like a Basilica in Rome, isn't it?
This is such a beautiful service, what a fitting tribute.
I'm loving the music, and those little choristers.

There was none of that whatsoever in my post.

it was simply a comment in reply to the Queen being a stickler for detail

I like the bright colours on the younger ladies and some fabulous hats.
As a future mother of the bride, I think Princess Anne is a better look for me than Camilla. That would compete with the bride wouldn't it? I wish I had Annes figure.
I wonder what Charles is thinking, he has been in St Paul's so many times with his parents present.

I’m with them though - my fashion philosophy is wear what you love and what makes you feel good. No one is obligated always to wear what is most ‘flattering’. I don’t owe anyone always to put my ‘best foot forward’ (I say that as someone with big boobs out of keeping with the rest of my figure) and neither do they even if they are in the public eye here and there. I can’t abide the tyranny of fashion and I won’t subscribe to it.

Peter is there, he’s sat behind Charles and has a navy and pink tie on.

I live Bea in blue. She looks stunning

@JustLyra no not at all! Wasn’t directed at you I promise and I apologise for any offence I caused. Just a general comment.

I quite like Zara’s dress too, no sign of Peter Phillips? I like to think that rather than go alone he stayed with HM to watch it on tv with a cup of tea 😊

He’s there, sitting beside Zara. Right on the aisle I think.

Not keen on Kate's dress. Lovely colour, but the draping is weird on the chest.

@Serenster, yes, I think the reason the flap was sticking out at the back was because, as you say, the top half of her outfit is too tight. You can see the pulling around the arms and the side of the dress. It needs just a bit more material to give it some give.

Oh yes! Spotted him! I’ve been watching it in between being at the beck and call of 3 dds😂

Charles and Diana were married at St Pauls. I imagine it's a poignant moment for Harry and William. I hope they are able to repair their relationship.

Ah yes having seen photos I can see there are some issues with fit for Meghan as is so often the case. It’s a shame as she wears clothes well but seems to struggle to get many of her pieces to sit nicely. I’m perplexed as to why she doesn’t just have them altered to fit properly! But maybe she’s quite tempestuous in fashion terms and doesn’t know what she wants to wear until the day - I’m like that, it has to feel ‘right’ for my mood. And she’s also been pregnant/getting back to usual figure for most of the time we’ve actually seen her in the past few years and that brings its own challenges in that regard. Mind you I suppose no one is obligated to wear clothes that fit well.

I love that colour blue that Bea's wearing.
I liked the sermon! poor Stephen Cottrell having to step in at the last minute!

Zara looks lovely Her hair is beautiful imho

Great sermon. Clothes today jewel like colours haven't seen anything I didn't like

Bless Mike Tindall apparently having flashbacks to Twickenham
while singing the anthem.

A woman bishop - good to see women and people of colour involved and included.

I love Zara's outfit too, especially the hat, it's a beautiful colour.

With Meghan's outfit, I think she looks super of course, the colour is lovely and the hat looks great. Hair and makeup is so on point.
She has a lovely figure but for someone so slim, can look boxy and wider round the waist. Imho that would have been fixed by not having the thin strap waist.
I think her best formal looks have been when she doesn't wear a belt and I definitely think she nails casual chic look.

Sarah Chatto always manages to hit it spot on with her outfits.

Such a shame there's no evening 'do's' where we could see some heavy duty bling. Seems ages since we saw some tiaras.

I agree, I always like Sarah Chatto's understated look.
Did anyone else love Gabriella Windsor's outfit? I thought she looked gorgeous!

God yes I’d almost forgotten that there was such a thing as a tiara!! I should have brought one (or more!) for the Jubilee celebrations...

I think I’ll wear the Greek Emerald parure today! I’ll just fetch it from the wardrobe.

I rather like that dude's big fur hat.
