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!

She's worn quite a few dresses that are a bit more daring and she often wears shorts for sporty events in the summer.

I think it’s the slip up the front that’s problematic - more potential for accidental flashing, and quite risqué in a way that other things aren’t. Shorts are still modest from that perspective. A bit like wearing a bikini is very different to going out in one’s bra and pants!

I thought the same, the fit from the bust to the waist seam looks odd to me - it either doesn't fit well/needs a better strapless bra or something else is going on .... mind you I thought the same about her outfit for HMQ's funeral so what do I know.

Actually the sleeves look too long on meghans dress to me, I think it would look better with 3/4 length sleeves as she's quite tiny, I think they add to the overall 'swamped' look of it plus she could have worn a spectacular bracelet!

It’s lovely to see the lotus flower tiara- just stunning! I like Kate’s hair there too, the extra height on the crown sets off the tiara beautifully. I love the red dress, the darker details and the neckline are very flattering.
Megs looks lovely too, her skin is glowing, beautiful make up and earrings, and the colour of the dress is good on her. I like the top half of the dress, but not the bottom, like others. There looks to be something clumsy about the position of the waistline, and how the 2 halves are joined together looks bulky. I also have Serious Shoe Disapointmsnt.

Kate doesn't just have good legs....she has flippin perfect legs. Same proportions as Vicky Beckham but better.

It's my favourite annual event!!
Helen House go to Clarence House!!
Cams looks lovely.

If you can please retweet this one. The need all the support and visibility then can get for such an amazing charity!!

I agree, @paradyning! also my favourite event, as a fellow children’s hospice user. I have a soft spot for Camilla just because of this 😊

And for the s&b content Cams suits the red, and Kate has the best royal legs definitely! She should be bold and flash them a bit more😂

I haven’t been on here for a while so just catching up, love the red dress on Kate and Camilla looks lovely too, can anyone tell me what the blue sash is both ladies are wearing please ? Is it something to do with the order of the garter ?
I think Megan always looks stunning but I’m not keen on the pleating /drape of the white dress she had on for the award.

What a lovely clip. Agree, respect Cams so much for making a difference - it looks fantastic fun and the reindeer are fab 💕

if I was going to be cynical or goady id that pleating might be hiding something.... 🤭

@lipstickwoman thought exactly the same. There is definitely a reason for that pleating. She wants to hide her stomach. For whatever reason.

Or maybe she wanted to be able to eat dinner and not worry about a tight waistband!

@KillingMeDeftly agree. I Like ruched material around my waist for that reason. I am slim but apple shaped and would choose the same style as Meghan for that reason. I am just saying that the pleats are there deliberately. For whatever reason.

I saw a close up on Meghan and her make up was very similar to Kates - sort of a stripe of brown shadow. Must be done like that because it looks good in photos.

I thought Kerry Kennedy's dress was a bit short.
Especially when she was sitting down.

I always love seeing Camilla’s Christmas party for the children too. She is so sweet and hands on with them. Just goes to show how unfairly maligned she is.

I love red on Camilla! She should wear it more often. What a fantastic charity to support.

It looked like something you'd wear to the office Christmas party in 2003!

If I was going to be cynical or goady id that pleating might be hiding something....

I was thinking the same thing. The detailing around the bust looks odd in that the fabric comes away from the gown, as though it’s hiding/flattening her chest. And the pleats and bagginess is specifically around her stomach and hips, like it’s hiding something.

But didn’t want to say anything on MN because I said I thought she looked a little round in the face and wide of waist at the funeral and then they didn’t announce anything and then I felt guilty 😬🫢

I've just retweeted and someone I follow with whom I have had many entertaining tweet chats has instantly replied with a very unpleasant comment. I've literally never seen him say anything mean before. I feel quite disappointed.

Oh dear. That's a shame. Really can't see how someone could be goats about a children's hospice event!
I would not be here talking shite about tiaras if it was not for Helen House.
 annual @gluenotsoup

Goats? Goady

Me neither @paradyning, tiara chat is my escape. We use a different hospice, Francis House, in the NW, but they are all amazing. 💐and🍷for you too x
