I like the way Louise wire the dress with pumps - relaxed and comfortable. Rewearing some of her mum's clothes is a great way to work out what suits her.

KillingMeDeftly · 02/08/2022 08:36

That dress is nice on a woman Sophie's age, not so much on an 18yo.

SirSidneyRuffDiamond · 02/08/2022 09:35

I actually think that dress works for many age groups, especially as Louise has paired it with more relaxed footwear and the fairy locket.

I have an eye witness at the Commonwealth Games reporting that Kate and Wills are about and she is in a white trouser suit. Charlotte is also with them. My anti-royal friend will not give me any further fashion details 🤣

Maireas · 02/08/2022 12:25

Louise definitely has the look of HM and Queen Mary. It's nice to see James involved and clearly enjoying himself!
Sophie's skirt is me+em, and I really like the fabric and cut.

I used to borrow from mothers wardrobe because my off duty clothing was not formal

BeaLola · 02/08/2022 13:15

Not that I have the figure for one but the white trouser suit looks lovely - however -how does it keep pristine ? I would sit dive where and end up with marks on it - obviously I wouldn't eat anything in order to stay pristine and drink clear liquids only Grin

RomainingCalm · 02/08/2022 13:22

I beg to differ - it would take all my effort not to trip over those trousers and end up flat on my face.

Me too @Whitney168 . The only question would be whether I spill my dinner down it before or after I fall over.

RomainingCalm · 02/08/2022 13:34

Your sources are right @Gooseysgirl. Kate looks great and I think she is wearing flat sandals but it's hard to tell. I like Charlotte's dress and nice to see them out with Charlotte.

Less sure about Lady Louise's outfit today - a less successful rummage in Sophie's cupboard imo.

Here's Charlotte enjoying the swimming with her mum and dad. Looks like she's having a great time! Kate in a white trouser suit, but I can't see her shoes.

Kate is tanned! I think that might be the suit she wore to the Windrush memorial unveiling?

paradyning · 02/08/2022 20:38

Kate's shoes. Interesting and flat for a change. Not my cup of tea with the embellishment.
Charlotte's dress is super cute.

I think they're the shoes she wore recently to watch the polo, which I still think look like she's borrowed them from Camilla.

I don't like them with the Bee Gees suit either.

( I'm sounding grumpy, sorry)

Maireas · 02/08/2022 21:14

I rather like the shoes! They're different, flat and bejewelled...my kinda thing.
White trouser suits do appear to be having A Moment, although how Kate has remained stain free is quite impressive.

I really think Kate should cut her hair a lot bit. It's very long in there photo.

I agree. It needs more of a 'style'

LadyVictoriaSponge · 02/08/2022 22:21

Just for fun what do we think about a pixie on Kate?

KillingMeDeftly · 02/08/2022 22:24

God no to the pixie! I think shoulder length really looks good on her but she clearly likes her hair long so...

KillingMeDeftly · 02/08/2022 22:29

Kate's hair evolution over the years.

QueryA · 02/08/2022 22:42

I really like the pixie cut!

susiebluebell · 02/08/2022 22:42

I think a pixie would give a lot of people the impression of bland middle age. Not saying she wouldn't suit it, but her job is sort of to bring a very specific type of princess glam, so I don't think she'd ever do it.

She does look great with her hair just above her shoulder though, and that would be fresh and age-appropriate.

MrsOwainGlyndŵr · 02/08/2022 23:30

I like the pixie too. Her features are dainty enough to carry it off

MrsOwainGlyndŵr · 02/08/2022 23:34

KillingMeDeftly · 02/08/2022 22:29

I wouldn't really call that evolution. It's all basically just long hair or longer hair! 😁

These are my favourite down styles.

@gluenotsoup That first one, with the dark hair and bright red, is absolutely cracking!
