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!

Indeed. It's absolutely dreadful and no doubt was very expensive.

I initially thought Sophie was wearing long culottes.

If we're giving tiaras out to dogs, I want to see a photo or it didn't happen 😂😂
Oh CPV in that dress. Well I like her earrings and makeup. The less said about the dress the better. Although I have just ordered a blanket hoodie in a similar pattern, but will only be wearing it at home 🙈

No no no no no.
No tiaras for dogs. Please.
Let us maintain standards. I think you need to be upfront, @chesterelly1 with all the bling you've accrued so far...is it worn by your dog 🤔

It's like a cross between 2 Erdem monstrosities Kate wore when pregnant - the blue velvet dress and the chartreuse floral gown.

Don't remind me about that chartreuse one. I can only hope it's lining a dog basket now.

Maybe @chesterelly1's tiara-wearing dog's basket?

We were chatting leather-wearing just the other day, and now here is Leti in a pair of red leather trousers. Astoundingly I think she pulls it off?

I had never heard of Malina, I looked up their website, its a swedish brand so kind of explains the 'why' she would wear it. Their collection is pretty bizarre, a few items are okay but mostly they are horrors/
.

Erdem is the emperor's new clothes. They compete in the design department to see who can come up with the worst outfit and flog it

Sorry to derail slightly but perhaps Rebecca Ferguson counts as pop royalty (not that I'd ever heard of her before).

Anyway she is the subject of the Portrait Artist of the Year, on Sky Arts right now.
She's wearing a rather stunning green sequinned dress with cape sleeves and shoulder detail. No idea who the designer might be but it seems to be a theme right now.

That is a seriously eclectic set of styles. 😂

There's something a little bit 'off' with the shape of Leti's trousers but if anyone can pull that look off she can.

Rebecca Ferguson looks Fab.U. Lous.
I don't actually like Leti's trousers, but she does try new looks, and I really love her in that red.

I love Kate’s dress. Gorgeous! Camilla and Sophie also look very nice 😊

Not fully sold on Leti’s trousers, but fair play for giving them a go.

On reflection Maireas Chesterdog would probably bury any bling in the garden so we'll rescind that request, rest assured I don't share tiaras with anyone! He'd happily extend the burial service to any Erdam frocky horror shows or indeed have them as basket liners.

Good call, Chester Dog!

Duchess of Gloucester in a silver cape! And the same tiara Eugenia wore for her wedding, I think

No, it's similar but a different one to Eugenie's. I think hers was a kokoshnik, possibly from Mrs Greville's bequest.

Birgitte doesn't get a lot of attention but I often like her outfits very much.

And the same tiara Eugenia wore for her wedding, I think

It’s her own diamond tiara, that comes with interchangeable centre stones (a wedding gift to her mother-in-law princess Alice the Duchess of Gloucester from Queen Mary). It has the emerald centre, a pink topaz one, and the tiara’s original honeysuckle design, for an al-diamond option. (Brigitte has the most amazing collection of jewellery…)

Yes it was a Greville tiara. Made by Boucheron.

@Serenster Oh I’d love a peek into all the various ladies’ jewellery collections!

The earrings and necklace she’s wearing are rather lovely too. The cape is a little bit dress-up for me though, which is a shame as I love a cape. I’ve watched too many cheap films with cheap costumes I think!

Duchess of Gloucester looks like a Harry Potter reject. Not a fan of the cape but I would have her jewellery vault in a heart beat. Eugenie's is nicer and I believe is mine on the spreadsheet of splendour

Beautiful photo of Eugenie.
I don't like the silver cape on the Duchess of Gloucester.
What a useful tiara she owns - the big stones are interchangeable.
Queen Mary gifted the tiara to Princess Alice - was it in the family or did QM commission it specifically for PA ?
A lovely gift from a mil.

I much prefer Eugenie’s. The other one is alright I guess...but I really don’t like the stone in the middle - I think it’s looks too big and harsh for the more dainty pattern of the tiara itself. I think it’d probably look a lot better with a diamond in the centre.

Are there photos of all the centrepieces? They sound familiar.
