I think it's slightly unsettling because Mathilde is normally quite a conservative dresser.

Eaumyword · 21/07/2022 22:14

Not keen on Mathilde's dress. Too much going on.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 22/07/2022 01:29

George
Kate's mini me (the boy version) but with William's smile & I always see HMQ's Father Bertie (George VI)

Forget to add George's 9th Birthday photo taken by a proud Mum who's also a very good photographer.

I think that would be Kate's dream job.
Or professional cake maker or EFYS teacher.

Maxima's black jumpsuit with the off the shoulder white band is just about the most fabulous outfit I've seen on her.

KillingMeDeftly · 22/07/2022 06:53

George is still mini-Mike (Middleton) as far as I can see!

Now George's big teeth have come through I can really see William in him. Same shaped mouth.

Maireas · 22/07/2022 07:27

People see different things, but I agree - he's totally Mike Middleton!

@KillingMeDeftly totally agree. Have always thought he is the image of MM, Charlotte too. Those Middleton genes must be strong

Serenster · 22/07/2022 08:27

I always see HMQ's Father Bertie (George VI)

Me too, TracyBeaker, I definitely see a resemblance.

Mathilde was out a another concert last night in a DVF jumpsuit. I like it - well, I like the top half, and she’s tall enough to carry this off. I just think the print on the legs is a bit too busy.

Mathilde's going for the big patterns, maybe she fancies a change. I like the kimono vibe to the outfit, but the pattern is a bit busy.

KillingMeDeftly · 22/07/2022 09:07

Even the fall of George's hair is like his grandfather's and Mike's hairline bodes well for him!

I'm always lukewarm on Mathilde's day to day sartorial choices, although she does formal gowns well.

RomainingCalm · 22/07/2022 12:04

Lovely photos of George. I'm in the Middleton genes camp.

That jumpsuit on Mathilde though is something else. It should be a S&B thread with the face scribbled out and the title "Just bought this one, I think it's a bit quirky, what does everyone think?" You'd get some interesting comments.

KillingMeDeftly · 22/07/2022 12:12

Let's be honest, some outside genes will do wonders for the royal family! Charlotte is very much like William but Louis is a mix of both sides. I always think he looks like photos of Edward as a child.

SeaRabbit · 22/07/2022 14:24

I wish Mathilde's jumpsuit were a little longer- otherwise I surprise myself by liking it.

The kimono dress is also nice, but called for simpler accessories - black or navy strappy sandals and simple earrings would have worked better, I think.

Another nice, informal summery look from Leti. Hugo Boss dress and espadrilles.
I think it's a really nice look.

OP posts:
MotherofPearl · 22/07/2022 18:10

I agree Leti looks good there. I know they divide opinion on here, but I am Team Espadrille!

Maireas · 22/07/2022 18:38

Yep. I'm team espadrilles! They don't look as formal and I feel strangely relieved for her poor feet!

OP posts:
Eaumyword · 22/07/2022 18:44

Same! I like that relaxed looking white summer dress.

gluenotsoup · 22/07/2022 19:04

I’m not a fan of Mathildes looks there, just too bright and fussy.
I like Leti’s relaxed white dress, and espadrilles. I don’t much like the platform though, I prefer the daintier looking ones rather than clunky.

CliffsofMohair · 22/07/2022 19:55

More Mathilde who seems to having a very busy week. Truth be told my first thought was shades of Vera Duckworth off this one (sorry your Maj)

Well, Mathilde. Have you been watching Max? I actually quite like this, although I do think that the pink is a bit strong for her. I like that she's going out of her comfort zone, though and having some fun with fashion.

OP posts:
GrouchyKiwi · 22/07/2022 20:11

I don't like Leti's dress at all.

Mathilde's various recent outfits are interesting, if nothing else.

Eaumyword · 22/07/2022 22:11

Definitely agree a European fashion memo has been circulated to 'be more Max' 😂
Except, she carries it off with a certain panache and nobody else can!

I think a patterned coat looks fab with a plain dark colour underneath, but here several colours/patterns are fighting for prominence.

KillingMeDeftly · 22/07/2022 22:45

Mathilde is only 49 but has been dressing like this for about 20 years!
