Well, we're in the run up to C day, now. Thanks to @chesterelly for the thread title suggestion 😊

I do like this one

Tayler puff piece

Tatler 🙄

I think Tatler needs their eyes checked. Camille is attractive but she looks about as much like her grandmother as Margarita Armstrong-Jones does hers!

She is very much like Stephanie though.

I was literally about to post the same, @KillingMeDeftly . Camille does not look like Grace, Margarita looks nothing like Margaret. I have really no idea why Tatler do this.

Me feels Tatler has got Stephanie and Grace mixed up.

What rot. She’s the double of her mam not gran.

Same with Margarita - she's the image of her mother, Serena Stanhope.

Another fan of EB here. We've got some Union Jack ones, and a set of spotty Mr & Mrs (wedding gift) so I'm going to buy some Coronation ones too - I prefer these.

Here are the Borbons on a night out looking nice and relaxed. Leonor and Sofia look lovely, and I'm pleased to see Leti in flats! Her top belonged to one of the daughters.

Max is in Paris looking stunning wearing an outfit only she could pull off

@miri1985 have to disagree. Looks like a tube of Coleman's mustard that's been squeezed from the middle

Another NO vote for mustard yellow.

But I'm more concerned about that rather narrow looking platform the two First Ladies are standing on, in their vertiginous heels. One half step backwards and down they will go. Brigitte will be 70 in two days time and according to NICE anyone over 65 is a falls risk....
Perhaps it is wider than it looks from the angle of the photo.

I love Max's outfit, such a lovely colour.

I like Max in her mustard coat, and I especially like it teamed with the jade turban and dress. She has quite a few outfits in that mustard shade, jump suit, trouser suit etc, so she must enjoy wearing it. I do think it's a cheerful fun colour.
I've never been keen on Brigitte's style, her clothes look too tight and short, more New Look than haute couture.
They aren't in Paris though, Macron and Brigitte are on a two day state visit to the Netherlands. He has had a rather rough reception for his speech on his vision for Europe.

I agree with you @AdaColeman about Brigitte, even though her clothes are high end, the proportions don't seem quite right. I like the fact that Max embraces colour!

State dinner in the Netherlands and I think I prefer Brigitte's sleek black and silver number to Max's red duvet-sleeved gown.

I kind of love Max's red gown for being so flamboyant, but I do wonder how she manages to eat without dipping the sleeves in her food!

Brigitte looks very elegant, I like her dress.

Whenever I see Mme Macron I think of Barbie dolls. Max sleeves are wild. I couldn't cope with food either

A couple of pictures of them preparing for the State banquet tonight. The plates are just beautiful.

(For Max's sake I hope it's not soup on the menu with those sleeves.)

I don't usually like Brigitte's outfits, but the column dress is very elegant, and the design on the bodice adds some interest.

Agree with pp about Mme Macron but I actually love that black column dress on her. Love Max's red gown too. Would look bonkers on anyone else of course!

Whenever I see Mme Macron I think of Barbie dolls.

Me too.

Those sleeves would end up covered in gravy - even if there wasn't any gravy on the plate. 🤦‍♀️

I don't like the "Colmans" coat, but love the red - it's really just the "puff-ball" sleeves, they're impractical, unless you're planning a jewellery heist...

Chicory I have dinner service envy. 😻

@pussycatinfluffyslippers - now you're giving us practical ideas for our next heist! I do love that shade of red, but it's virtually impossible to get hold of in the shops. I'm not going to wear mustard or khaki or (shudders) grey ☹️
