Evening Royal Style fans!
I hope we can have some fabulous winter fashion and tiara events!

There’s a short film on Netflix about two Norwegians who went to a secluded beach in the Arctic Circle, built a hut from beach combed stuff, and spent all winter there surfing. It’s worth watching. I have deduced from this that Norwegians are absolute nails. Clearly Ingrid is too! And lovely to see Mette-Marit looking well (and cosy).

I imagine you have to be nails to swim in the sea or even go to the beach at pretty much any time of the year in Norway.

I know what you mean about brown and beige @Maireas but I like the style of Rania's shirt dress - fresh and flattering.

I absolutely love Leti's striped Hugo Boss jumper! I'm a total sucker for stripes. Leonor also looks great.

Lastly I see Kate has released a video message for addiction awareness. She's in a Tory Burch blouse that we've seen before I think? It reminds me of that Alessandra Rich dress of hers.

Nice casual looks from Leti and Leonor there. I also thought Kate was wearing her Alessandra Rich dress at first, but see that it's a Tory Burch blouse. She likes the polkadots, it's a fairly safe look and quite classic.

I'm looking forward to glamorous winter clothes and praying Kate cuts back on the coat dresses.

mikado1 · 30/10/2022 20:51

Cuts back on coat dresses and cuts her (beautiful) hair!

KillingMeDeftly · 30/10/2022 21:35

Kate is looking very smooth and a little unlike herself there. I don't like the length or colour of her hair - when it was shorter and chocolate brown it looked so good.

Serenster · 30/10/2022 21:57

I really dislike Kate’s blouse (I too thought it was her Alessandra Rich dress at first too!).

I see this is being published - photos from 1916-2022. Might be one for the Christmas list? 😀

Serenster · 30/10/2022 21:57

Oops, this would help…

I just love this video. The way the Queen taps the crown and handles it casually. And brilliant view of the brooch

Eaumyword · 31/10/2022 07:56

Great clip of HMQ there and the crown detail is beautifully clear to see.

gluenotsoup · 31/10/2022 10:09

I love that clip! HM seems as intrigued with it as we are, and just as delighted to be having a good look at it 😍

mikado1 · 31/10/2022 13:46

Agree completely KillingmeDeftly

I don’t like the blouse at all, I don’t dislike polka dots but just don’t like that style on Kate it looks very old fashioned.
I think Kate has probably started having her hair lighter due to grey, and the almost universal idea that brunettes look better with lighter hair as they age. This doesn’t suit everyone, and I don’t think Kate looks anywhere near old enough that a slightly darker shade would look fake on her, or age her but hairdressers seem to be obsessed with it. Her hair looks lighter here than a few weeks ago at HMQ’s funeral.

Also in the spirit of Halloween I’m borrowing this from the Scandinavian royals today, the Swedish cut steel bandeau tiara. I love it. ♥️

Lovely clip of HMQ, @justasking111 - I miss her! ☹️
Is that tiara already in your personal collection, @gluenotsoup ? Shall I scroll through the Spreadsheet of Splendour?

@justasking111 love that video of HMQ with the crown. Great photos of Kate and Beatrice , I wonder how old Kate was then.

667TheNeighbourOfTheBeast · 31/10/2022 18:57

@justasking111 oops just spotted Eugenie too !

justasking111 · 31/10/2022 19:12

Who was disappointed to see that Max wasn't actually dressed as a pumpkin? Because if anyone would do it it would be her...

As @KillingMeDeftly writes "....Kate is looking very smooth and a little unlike herself."
I agree. I do hope she stops soon. It's very obvious around the mouth. She doesn't need to.

sorry for it being the daily mail but here are lots of other royals to brighten up our fashion. Apart from Beatrice B I’ve not heard of any of them, but there may be one or two we can force into the airing cupboard with Fred and Hot Johnny..
