Royal Style: Elizabeth may be gone, but her diamonds are forever

[Maireas]

Evening Royal style and beauty fans.
Into the Carolean era, with more bling we hope! Also more state banquets?

I think Leto needs to lay off the cosmetic enhancements now, her face is becoming unrecognisable.

CPV's outfit looks too grey and bundled up somehow.

But don't worry. She's redeemed herself in Jenny Packham and tiara.

Sofia's dress is unusually lovely for me too. Has anyone claimed her tiara yet @Maireas? I may add it to my Swedish collection.

I felt Sophia’s dress needs a teensy bit of something. I’m not sure the top and bottom halves work together coherently.

‘there’s only one Prince Charles’ would be a contender for new thread I feel 🧵

baby DS is refusing to sleep in own bed so I’m awake and scanning the royal blogs.

the foundation Leti is supporting I this pic is intriguing -

FundeuRAE (Fundacion del Español Urgente - Foundation of Emerging Spanish) is a non-profit organization supported by the Royal Spanish Academy and the EFE Agency. The main objective of the organization is to maintain the unity and purity of the Spanish language, and to promote the proper use of Spanish in the media.

is improper use of Spanish a pressing concern?? Is Spanish Spanish considered ‘purée’ than Latin American Spanish?

I like Leti’s suit. Very fresh.

Purée??! Purer. I’m v tired 🥱

I know it’s a Belgian military event and she probably has to wear something colour appropriate …

BUT WHAT IN THE NAME OF RONALD MCDONALD IS THIS?

Mathilde. Just. No.
We do like to find the positives on this thread but give us something to work with.

quite a sympathetic and insightful interview with Delphine, who uses the phrase ‘extreme Belgitude’ which I am concluding Mathilde is leaning into here .

The Swedes seem to have more than their fair share of grown and tiara events don't they? Not that I'm complaining!

And Mathilde, WHAT??

far more excited about this Delphine documentary than a 44 year old Irish mother of 3 with no Belgian links would be expected to be but fervently hoping U.K./Irish TV pick this up. Or Netflix. Interesting that she was prevented from opening a bank account an a ‘illegitimate’ Royal

Holy mother of god

Well I do like the hat.

Goodness. I am certainly awake after viewing Mathilde this morning 😵‍💫

I like all the individual components, but all together…. No. Oh dear.

I don't think Mathilde and Elisabeth are short, and they're obviously wearing heels, so how tall is Prince Gabriel??

MY EYES! 😱

Nice to see the Swedish royals in gowns and tiaras. I do think CPV excels at evening-wear and can really pull off tiara-wearing. Not many people would look as good as she did in the enormous cameo tiara she wore for her wedding.

Ooh, no, no! What is that?? Hideous. Not sorry. 😳
Love the Swedish outfits though, I’ll focus on that!

That is a beautiful dress that CPV is wearing. She looks great 👍

I can genuinely say that I wish Mathilde had taken a leaf from Max’s book and just gone for the full yellow ensemble!

Both Swedish ladies look lovely. That’s a deep dive into her archives from Victoria there, she wore that dress to one the events of Madeleine’s wedding.

That’s truly frightful (sorry 😱), I honestly can’t find anything positive to say about it!

RTE might buy it @CliffsofMohair

They did get The Handmaids Tale on air before the UK terrestrials.

Mathilde- holy f*ck.

Why didn't her daughter and / or Philippe stage an intervention ???

Would anyone like to take a punt on what shoes Mathilde is wearing?

I'm going for a contrast. Possibly purple

@meateatingveggie they are red!
