Yes it must, especially when she will be aware that randoms on the net are talking about her looks. How about people talk about what she actually does instead.

An enormous part of her job is looking the part

IsabelHerna · 20/05/2022 08:51

She looks lovely

Snoopsnoggysnog · 20/05/2022 08:56

I love the look. I’ve always thought she and her sister look older than they are and yet they are still very attractive.
her smile and teeth are amazing. She has great hair too.

I need those earrings. Anyone seen any dupes that don’t cost £10,000?

PutinIsAWarCriminal · 20/05/2022 08:59

The dress is stunning. She always looks classy.
On what parallel universe does she look haggard? 😆🙄 I wouldn't leave the house if I was under so much scrutiny about my wrinkles, arms, boobs, waist line, its ridiculous!!

SuziSecondLaw · 20/05/2022 09:01

She looks amazing as always, and I love the dress. But more importantly.. Jennifer Connelly's dress 😍😍
Where can I get something similar (much much cheaper)?!

Triffid1 · 20/05/2022 09:02

She has significant muscle tone. Yes, she's thin but I don't think unhealthily so because she looks fit and healthy.

I knew she would go.for a simpler dress this time. I think it's great. Not something I would ever choose but that's not the point - she has a beautiful figure and she has chosen a dress that shows it off. Good for her. And I am loving the fact that she seems.to have ditched the very long, very bouncy curls.

It squashes her tits and looks like she's wearing a bandage under her armpits.

But that's just my perspective. Smile

I read this as, '... she's wearing a badger under her armpits.' 😊

Cokehead · 20/05/2022 09:10

She looks stunning. She is v slender but as pp have said, she’s toned so looks healthy.

Re looking old/“haggard”, I think part of it is that we’re all used to seeing looks like that a) on models in their teens/twenties and b) photoshopped. So an actual adult woman, unphotoshopped, is a surprise.

picassobride · 20/05/2022 09:14

The thinly veiled vitriol on this thread is sickening.
No woman has worse enemies than other women.
Be fucking ashamed of yourselves.

Yes it must, especially when she will be aware that randoms on the net are talking about her looks. How about people talk about what she actually does instead.

But this is what she does? In a family who’s existence is completely out of step with the modern world I somehow feel she’s even more of a throwback (probably because she didn’t come from that world and actively chose to marry in). She married well and she looks pretty. I’m sure she’s a very nice woman but if we had a thread talking about her achievements we’d probably struggle to get far…

tootiredtoocare · 20/05/2022 09:17

I think Kate's been desperately channelling Diana for a while now. She even stood on the steps of the maternity wing in a red dress with a white collar. She was so natural and relaxed before they married, but I think the weight of the crown is already heavy on her head.

doorfram · 20/05/2022 09:19

How about people talk about what she actually does instead.

I don't actually know anything about her. Her likes, dislikes, opinions, etc. She has to toe the line in every respect, it's sad that that's still what society requires of women marrying into the Royal family.

herecomesyour19thnervousbreakdown · 20/05/2022 09:19

I saw that photo from a distance somewhere else and thought it was an old one of Meghan
I do love that style

custardbear · 20/05/2022 09:19

It looks like something I'd expect mm to wear, but it's nice on her to be honest, better than some of the quite school marm things she wears sometimes though they're usually day dresses to be honest
I like it!

PeaHenChic · 20/05/2022 09:22

I like the dress and the fact she’s highlighted a label that had financial trouble during the pandemic.

Snoopsnoggysnog · 20/05/2022 09:26

I don’t think she is “desperately channelling Diana” at all!

CharlieLo · 20/05/2022 09:27

josil · 19/05/2022 22:26

I honestly find it really sad when people say she's too thin. She is not, we have become distorted in what is 'normal'

Also, why is it ok to call someone too thin? I imagine the reaction if I commented on someone saying they're too fat?

This! Tired of the 'thin' comments that get thrown about.

DaisyQuakeJohnson · 20/05/2022 09:35

I think she looks fab.
I'm laughing at some of these comments. Hilariously mean girls although I don't think any of them are girls. Not quite in 'the spirit of the site' or the spirit of this section.
As for being too thin. 🙄 My mum had 6 DCs and was thinner than Kate her whole life. She ate well. Metabolism and activity levels have a massive impact.

Letsrunabath · 20/05/2022 09:39

I think she looks amazing, full stop. And we have all got used to larger sized people look back at photos of normal people in the 60s and 70s you will be hard pressed to find many overweight people, then processed food, although that’s for another thread.

diamondpony80 · 20/05/2022 09:59

I think the outfit is lovely and I’m now tempted to try Botox as I think she looks great. She doesn’t look too thin here although she has looked very thin in some recent outfits. She naturally has a very small frame though. I’m the same height and I’m sure I’d look massive next to her as I have broader hips and shoulders.

Oblomov22 · 20/05/2022 10:14

It's the most daring dress I've seen her wear for a while. She's 40, her figure is amazing, she's looking great.

Oblomov22 · 20/05/2022 10:16

I never looked like that when I was 40. Mind you, I never look like that. Loved her earrings.

moose62 · 20/05/2022 10:41

I think she looks great, seems a very nice level headed good role model. I don't feel she is trying to chanel Diana, who was by no means perfect. I think she is just doing the best she can in the role she has taken on. Who would want to be a woman in the public eye when the nastiest critics are other women.

SwimmingOnEggshells · 20/05/2022 10:48

How can people say she looks haggard?! Confused she looks amazing. She's thin, yes, but as a pp said people's idea of normal is totally skewed these days.

I'm not that keen on the dress as I'm not really into black and white together but hats off to her for trying out a new hairstyle. I'd love to see her with shoulder length hair, or a long bob. I think it would look great on her and would lift her face, long hair can drag down your face, iykwim

timestheyarechanging · 20/05/2022 11:00

I think she looks stunning and I love that The designer is the wonderful Chris Packhams sister
