We're over here, style fans!

More style, beauty, shoe vexation and hair concerns...

I am signing you up as the newest member of Team Espadrille even as I type. Welcome.

I liked the flatter leather ones Sofia was wearing rather than the wedge heels that lace up the ankles.

Well I have just been down a google wormhole of Delphine's shoe collection - there are some fairly spectacular specimens there! I see H&M are coming to the UK again next month for some charity stuff and and also an Invictus engagement in Germany... looking forward to some Meghan fashion!

She certainly likes a platform shoe!

Gosh, she's taking her SIL's mask-matching to a whole new level there with the corresponding hat! Quite an outfit!

Wow that's what I call coordinated!

But it's so weird how she's been elevated to princess status complete with royal duties. I wonder how the king and his siblings feel about it? And indeed Queen Paola?

She's an individual dresser - it's nice to have another person who embraces colour and pattern as much as Max does!

I see Princess Anne turns 72 today.

Queen Rania in a very bright yellow. I think she really suits this colour - as few could - though I'm not convinced about the outfit as a whole.

Tatler have compiled a fashion retrospective:

Is it really the case that she's been wearing those sunglasses since 1982? (see image 23).

I love her casual looks; less so the frilly 1980s evening dresses. Zara is like her mother, I think, in generally looking best in casual wear (though PA has some very chic daywear suits).

I think those are different sunglasses @MotherofPearl. Her current pair make an appearance around 2004. But 18 years is a long time to hold on to a pair of sunglasses - I count myself lucky if I can go 2 years without losing them!

Princess Anne has turned 72. Great style moments here, although I'm not keen on the early shiny stuff.

Rania is such a beauty, and I agree that colour looks amazing on her @MotherofPearl although I probably wouldn't have used it in that outfit. She looks very chic though, like she's on her way to coffee with the Duchess of Cambridge 😉

I love Rania's outfit - very casual chic and lovely bold colours.

Her son has just gotten engaged. To a woman who looks quite a lot like her!

Hello has done a 10 summer dresses article about Sophie Wessex . I actually like a lot of them. www.hellomagazine.com/fashion/royal-style/20220817148451/sophie-wessex-amazing-summer-dresses-revealed/?viewas=amp

Didn't Rania's daughter also get engaged very recently?

I'm not always very keen on Sophie’s style but that spotty DvF dress looks great on her.

Agree, I like her polka dot looks and absolutely love her 'llama' dress!

Yes, about a month ago.

Ooh, royal weddings incoming!! Rania’s own wedding was very glitzy, so I have high hopes for these two 😀

Rania and future DiL. The body language is interesting but it could just be that it's a fairly formal portrait.

Oh - I’m surprised they released that photo, the dynamics are definitely interesting… (they both look lovely, though)

Lady Louise is off to St Andrew’s to study English

Reminds me of Kate's blue engagement dress! I read online that Will is quite pally with the groom-to-be so perhaps himself and Kate will rock up to the wedding..

The engaged couple look lovely!
I'm very pleased for Lady Louise - I hope she has a great time at St Andrews.
She's been working in a garden centre over the summer for £6.83 an hour.
