Interesting story para, and that is an amazing tiara.

I love The Trusty Wedges, MBE.

Off to find a photo of Fergie dressed up in marching band gear.

MotherofPearl · 23/06/2022 23:27

Ah, just had a proper look at the photos from the Shakerley service and see what you mean about Fergie's outfit. I agree that she looks unwell. Her face looks very puffy, but perhaps she was just hot.

The most elegant guest was Princess Alexandra imo.

Bea and Edo or as I’ve termed them in my head ‘Beado’ at a summer party this evening. Very old school glamour frock

Gosh Fergie does not look well at all - I wonder is she on some cortisone medication, the change in facial appearance feels a bit sudden. But she looks her usual bright and cheery self in the pics so hopefully she is ok!

StartupRepair · 24/06/2022 02:15

Don't like the black belt on Bea's dress.

I always wonder how no-one ever looks hot and bothered when they're formally dressed up - particularly Ascot or Royal Garden Parties - often long sleeved dresses etc. I have come to the conclusion that the Royals must have a thin layer of ice packs like you take to a picnic sewn into their undergarments

Perhaps Andrew isn't the only royal with the inability to sweat 😁
Perhaps it's genetic!

Maybe David Icke was onto something!

MotherofPearl · 24/06/2022 07:32

I think Bea looks great there - very glamorous, with a slight Dynasty vibe (in a good way!).

peridito · 24/06/2022 08:53

I like the black belt on Bea ,sort of ties it in with her husbands formal black and white .

Agree that Fergie looks unwell and that maybe steroids are the cause .Apart from the "moon face " effect they can make one behave in an extreme fashion (IME ) .

Eaumyword · 24/06/2022 09:06

I absolutely love Bea's look there, gorgeous dress. She's looking great.
Fergie's very open about having facial procedures such as botox and fillers, perhaps it's that? Not keen on her jacket, it's a bit eccentric, just like her!

RockaLock · 24/06/2022 09:20

Bea's dress is lovely, and her hair has looked really good recently too.

The Monegasques had a flying trip to Oslo yesterday.

Oof that kiss photo 😬

MrsOwainGlyndŵr · 24/06/2022 10:09

Oh mu gosh, Fergie looks weird - and it's not just the military uniform!

KillingMeDeftly · 24/06/2022 10:22

I don't think it's fillers that are making poor Fergie look like that. It's the look some people get when they're on strong medication like steroids. Let's hope she's ok.

QueryA · 24/06/2022 10:34

After all the discussion about wanting to see more variety of shoes, and some more flats, Fergie is wearing flats in this picture. Unfortunately I don't think it works, heels would have looked more elegant

NiqueNique · 24/06/2022 10:39

She’s wearing a skirt so I would generally agree - low to mid heel is best.

But Fergie is also extremely inelegant (sounds much more harsh than I mean it!) and for that reason cannot make anything much look truly good, tbh. She doesn’t seem to be able to carry herself in a way that makes the best of herself.

I hope she’s okay and if she’s ill I certainly wish her well!

NiqueNique · 24/06/2022 10:41

And flats (by flats I don’t actually mean completely flat like ballet shoes, I usually mean at least an inch) aren’t necessarily fantastic in and of themselves - they still need to be chosen well to match the outfit and the person and actually look great/interesting and not be fugly or (I hate the word but I’m going to use it...) frumpy.

NiqueNique · 24/06/2022 10:52

Oh yes, love Bea’s dress (and her whole look). Love, love love Max’s ensemble (I agree no one does ‘more is more’ than Max — Max to the MAX! Grin Love that gorgeous tiara* as well.

*Speaking of tiaras, @Maireas i don’t know if you saw my comment asking about Ingrid Alexandra’s tiara and whether it’s available to add to my collection? Sorry if I’ve missed a reply somewhere!

NiqueNique · 24/06/2022 10:55

Dropped a parenthesis there...!

Also agree with others that Mary’s black dress is much better in its second edition. I’m not very keen on nude under black. The bright yellow heels were quite something but I think they worked well.

Urgh that kiss is a PhD in body language

NiqueNique · 24/06/2022 11:34

@paradyning i saw your comment on ‘threads I’m on’ page and even without knowing what photo you were referring to I knew it was going to be about them.

There's a lovely photo of Sarah taken on 12th June at the Italian film festival

Does anyone know where Sophie Wessex' watch is from? big, silver one? Really like it!

NiqueNique · 24/06/2022 13:54

That is a great photo and that colour suits her beautifully. One of my favourites, that green.

Only because that's what you've been conditioned to think.

If bunions are the price of elegance, I'll take flats on me or anyone else.

chesterelly1 · 24/06/2022 14:18

Love Bea's dress, she's really found her fashion groove.
What a contrast between the Fergie pics over a very short time. I wonder if she's hurt her back. She looks like she's got the "bum out/chest forward/flat shoes compulsory" waddle that I get when I experience muscle spasm, and the 'I'm smiling maniacally so you can't tell I'm actually grimacing" look.
As for the kiss photo, as my DDs would say - it looks like Charlene's been a little bit sick in her mouth.Confused
