Royal Style: Charles and his wee boots, and please - plenty of (Preloved) bling!

[Maireas]

Hello! New thread....thanks for the title suggestions!
Fingers crossed for some good festive style!

That's an excellent look on Zara!

I like Zara's dress too. Very pretty colour and style. She suits a lower neckline.

Yes, Zara's scrubbed up well there!

Beautiful! That’s my perfect Cinderella dress - not too much.

I agree that's a great look for Zara.

Zara looks amazing there.

She really does!

Ooh that dress is gorgeous! Zara looks lovely in it.

Now Zara is someone who suits ice blue! That dress looks great on her and also a little like she's going to a Frozen party for adults.

I'm in the minority, but I think it's missing something. A necklace or earrings or hair down or something. They are a handsome couple though. Is Mr Zara wearing velvet?

Zara's dress is lovely, she is rarely seen in a proper frock 👗but a few sparkles would have livened up. Maybe one of grannies brooches?

Oh the dress us pretty bling on its own, but some big chandelier earrings would have worked. www.hellomagazine.com/fashion/royal-style/20221203158697/zara-tindall-cinderella-gown-state-dinner-australia/

Chandelier earrings would have looked good too. No necklace as the dress doesn’t need it. Hair up is better IMO. Ice blue is definitely her colour!

I like the pared back look tbh. The dress is beautiful, and Zara shines without too much bling.

Gorgeous dress, beautiful colour on Zara

Lovely colour and neckline but I think and hour glass or fishtail would have been more flattering. I am wearing Kate's neon green today and feel v trendy lol.

Anyone watching the Earthshot programme? Kate is presenting a category right now and all I can think is 'those emeralds don't go with that dress'!

I dunno...when you’re wearing priceless heirlooms I think there’s a bit more leeway. If it was shoes/bag/scarf/etc I’d agree. But when it’s jewellery out of the royal vaults I think it’s about the provenance, history and heritage rather than whether or not it’s exactly the right shade.

(I know it’s not actually priceless, but YKWIM)

If it was modern jewellery I’d agree, though. Make it match/coordinate nicely, at least!

I think had she worn a completely different coloured dress then it wouldn't look so jarring as it does with the mismatching greens.

I think the green of the dress is just too vibrant. For me, the star of the show should have been the choker but you don't see it until after you see the dress. Still, if it was mine I'd wear it with everything and not give a hoot about whether it matched or not 😂

I do agree @frugalkitty. I think she should have worn the black velvet dress... mind you it probably would have broken the Internet with Diana comparisons, so I can see why she didn’t!

I hope she’ll wear it again sometime though. With another new (old) bit of bling!

Ugh sorry, awful quality!

Have we seen that ruby necklace recently? It's very pretty

Shame we haven't seen it more often, I particularly like the earrings
