Anyone know who makes Carrie Johnson's dress?

I think she looks stunning, as does Samantha Johnson. Does anyone know who makes Carrie Johnson's dress? Or Samantha's for that matter?

If there is to be a winner in 'Dress Wars' then Meghan won it hands down.

I think I'd agree with this, if you made me pick a winner that is. Some others really did look fab too though

Carrie Johnson’s dress she wore for leaving Downing Street as PM’s wife (before needlessly flying to Balmoral in a private jet to accompany BJ to hand in his notice to the Queen) was also a strange, transparent-looking choice. Not rented, apparently.

Cherie Blair looked great, Camilla, Megan and Kate did too, plus Sophie Wessex, Zara, Beatrice and Eugenie. All the men and Anne looked amazing in their military gear. Throughout the day it was nice to be able to spot military women wearing the various military uniforms.

I wasn't keen on her wedding party mini dress and I don't like that pink thing either.

Did she have people dressing her before maybe, as she always looked great while he was PM? Or maybe she's just having a bit of fun with her wardrobe now she doesn't have to do all the official stuff?

Yes she looked really striking - I think both she and Kate did - but Kate in a more classic style, with rocking jewels, and Meghan more paired down and modern, as you'd expect.

I didn't think there was anything much wrong with Carrie's neckline, it was just a crappy dress, on her anyways.

Makes sense now - thought they all looked really appropriate apart from Carrie Johnson. Her dress looked a bit OTT and look at me imo and the crown of her hat was missing.

I thought Carrie’s hat looked like a wannabe crown in black. Very odd.

No idea OP re your question, google may be more help 😬

vera99 · 19/09/2022 21:53

The understated sheer elegance of Meghan is hard to describe and probably why reputably Kate hates her so. It's Sunset Boulevard without the Sunset if that makes sense.

Mooserp · 19/09/2022 22:02

I really didn't think I would pay any attention to what anyone was wearing, but Carrie's dress and headband thing was terrible.

QuebecBagnet · 19/09/2022 22:09

Yes why was Boris not in a morning suit? Debretts says morning suits should be worn for a state funeral.

Martinisarebetterdirty · 19/09/2022 22:17

Sam Cam looked amazing. Sarah Brown though looked to have her hands in her pockets outside the Abbey which surprised me as she doesn’t normally put a foot wrong. Didn’t like Carrie’s dress but nothing wrong with her hair at all. I also thought both Kate and Meghan looked fantastic and agree Princess Anne has rocked that uniform all week.

TheOGCCL · 19/09/2022 22:19

I don't think Carrie much cares what anyone thinks of her. I don't think I'd sleep nights if I were her and did. She just jars.

Liz T has the most sloped shoulders, so she needs shoulder pads, some structure, otherwise it throws off her perfectly nice figure and makes her look like she's wearing the wrong bra. However, I don't get the impression style is something that preoccupies her.

I really hope it's because he's still in a sulk because the Queen told him she would be glad to see the back of him and home dishonourable he had been during his time in office when he went to resign.

whatever the reason let's just be glad he was relegated to former prime minister just in time for today.

What was jacinta thinking?

goingback · 19/09/2022 22:22

some woman in a sweatshop being paid pennies?

Kite22 · 19/09/2022 22:25

Thanks for the link @Yalz

I think Meghan hasn't put a foot wrong this last 11 days. Some people will be horrible whatever she did or didn't do, but she has been exemplary.
Throughout all the different occasions, everyone has - as you would expect - dressed appropriately, which I think is why Carrie's dress was so noticeable.

However, looking at that Vogue link, I am wondering what Jacinta (NZ Premier) is wearing. Since I first heard of her, I have never seen or heard her put a foot wring - I have great admiration for here, but I am wondering what is going on with her outfit there.

GuyFawkesDay · 19/09/2022 22:25

Carrie was so funeral inappropriate, I cringed when I saw her. But then her husband also turned up in the wrong attire too.

Zara looked stunning, as did both Duchesses. Kate always gets it spot on. Meghan looked beautiful but maybe lacked some sparkles?

earsup · 19/09/2022 22:27

She always looks frumpy in curtain type fabrics....pleats and bows and ruffles....awful....never expect her to wear anything suitable !

TheCheesecakeIsPoisoned · 19/09/2022 22:27

There was too much gold in Carrie’s outfit, she looked she was in her own branch of the military.

Agree Meghan’s cape was very chic, Kate classy as always. I really liked Zara’s outfit too.

I remember after Philip’s funeral when they all had to troop up the hill after with those massive heels on! Maybe they felt safe today knowing they wouldn’t be doing much walking.

Whataretheodds · 19/09/2022 22:28

Carrie may have looked inappropriate, but she's not in office.

Truss doesn't have to be interested in style but she should have asked mumsnet for outfit advice.

SausagePourHomme · 19/09/2022 22:28

the best outfits today were on the couple who walked in behind the hirohitos. beautiful traditional looking outfits. anyone know who I'm talking about?

SausagePourHomme · 19/09/2022 22:30

apologies - i mean naruhito! i am in the wrong multiverse i think

Rapidtango · 19/09/2022 22:30

Vera99, really? Where on earth do you get that from?

Kate looked elegant and beautiful as always. Meghan looked lovely and entirely appropriate.

Borris Johnson looked his usual Worzel Gummidge self and Carrie looked, well, a bit over done.

TheDinnerWitch · 19/09/2022 22:30

Sorry to bring the tone down, but what, pray tell, is that in Liz Truss' husband's pocket....?

OneFrenchEgg · 19/09/2022 22:32

Ah thank you for the vogue link I was wondering who the person in the dress I thought was really unsuitable was (as opposed to just ugly) - Justin Trudeau's wife. There was someone else but they didn't make it to Vogue.

SausagePourHomme · 19/09/2022 22:33

randomly I just came across the information that sandra oh (killing eve actress) was part of the canadian delegate at the funeral today. And i love her outfit:
