I like the skirt, the bodice is too busy. It's very sound of music, Heidi goatherd style .

I see Kate's visited a care home today. I like the navy outfit and camel coat, though she's gone for those very long wide-leg trousers which nearly drag on the ground and look flappy around the ankles. Not convinced by the navy button-style earrings. Get out the jewels, Kate!

Weirdly I used to wear "odd" earrings in the 80s...maybe I'm just ahead of the curve 🤦‍♀️😱🤣

ChicoryDip · 21/02/2023 14:25

That's a good look on Kate except for the earrings which do look like coat buttons. The new earring stylist needs to go - some very odd choices lately!

Can't see very well from the pictures but I think she has flatter shoes with a block heel rather than the stilettos.

TangledWebOfDeception · 21/02/2023 15:31

Oh I like the earrings! Had to hunt for a picture of them.

Are we talking "Kate" or "Leti"...just to be clear - I love the Leti ones, Kate, hmmm, <opens lid on dustbin>

TangledWebOfDeception · 21/02/2023 16:02

@pussycatinfluffyslippers I was talking about the buttons!

I like todays outfit. Colours are good and it just works well for me, even though it's very simple. Brogues or loafers (flat, mid OR heeled) would have got mega points, as would flat/low mules.

However I can get just about get on board with Leti's dress, and I quite like the earrings too. So you're not entirely alone! Grin Unmatching earrings have been a trend for a while now, in fact I think Leti's worn that pair before.

There's at least one pair in the royal vault as well! Although might be the Danish household...Can't remember now. I'll track them down.

Over doing the Botox always results in those strange raised eyebrows, like a greyhound asking a question.

LOVE that!

I’m also not feeling much earring love this week. Odd earrings are just odd.

pussycatinfluffyslippers · 21/02/2023 19:04

glue surely they're just lonely and have hooked up with someone similar so they can enjoy the ride. Grin

I love that Kate doesn't have the old fashioned fat curls. Unsure about the earrings as she could have gone with real gems, is it to look relatable? I don't understand how cheap earrings mask the wealth & privilege. The gloves though! they don't suit the diaphanous style of the dress, far too severe.

I love the colour & fun of Florence's dress.

Normally I love Jodie's style, like the colour & feathers on here but don't like the neckline.

Like the drama of Anyas but not the colour on her.

I really disliked Lily's dress & Rosie HW skirt thing.

I don’t like commenting on appearance beyond clothes but I would not have recognised Ellie Goulding without the caption .

Vitriolinsanity · 21/02/2023 20:16

Kate, this is your friend Vitriol, please unlock the safe and pull out some earrings that aren't from 1985, for the love of god herself.

CliffsofMohair · 21/02/2023 21:19

EBG at a Ministry of Education function. I feel like the detail on the skirt is in the wrong place.

I really like that outfit. It’s a re-wear of the complete ensemble; third time so far. My iPad won’t let me access my photos to post. Angry

JADS · 21/02/2023 22:56

Kate is wearing trousers a lot more recently. Do you think it's because QE2 is no longer around? It was rumoured that she wasn't keen on trousers.

Also does anyone think that POW should just shave all his hair off? He just looks so much older than he is. I feel a bit mean saying that.

Spudlet · 21/02/2023 22:59

He should do a head shave for children in need or something, then if he really hated it he could say it was only temporary and grow it back!

He should definitely let Kate have at it with the dog clippers though.😂

JADS · 21/02/2023 23:14

@Spudlet A charity head shave for a non cancer charity would be great for POW. I would sponsor him. Kate with the dog clippers 😂

KillingMeDeftly · 21/02/2023 23:19

That would look so much better. He's about 40 years too young for a combover. There's no shame in a shaved head - William can join the ranks of Bruce Willis, Vin Diesel and erm, Jason Statham?

TangledWebOfDeception · 21/02/2023 23:38

Ah it’ll finally let me add one!! Here’s Mary wearing it previously.

On the PoW wearing trousers, no I personally don’t think it has anything to do with HMQ’s opinion. I think we’re seeing an organic evolution of style, that’s all.

Just seen the button earrings I had an identification pair bought in the eighties. They were clip ons. When we moved six years ago they and other pairs of that dynasty style went in the bin. Dang I should have kept them 😅
