Royal Style and Beauty: Open the vaults, alert the nation, get out bling for the Coronation!

[Maireas]

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

Waves 👋

Carl Philip and Sofia are in NYC.

I'm not convinced this white shirt dress does Sofia any favours, but I like the striped top and blazer outfit. I always love stripes.

I agree, @MotherofPearl , although to be honest I'm not keen on the white trousers, something is going on with the waistband. Maybe she's had it taken in?

Pulling up a pew..

To be fair, @MotherofPearl, Sofia could show up in a bin bag and still outshine everyone else in a ten mile radius...

Is it maybe an elasticated waistband? Or small tucks? Hard to say but I agree it looks a bit odd. Still, the striped top makes up for it.

Almost looks like those paper bag style trousers.

@MotherofPearl I'm definitely here for the elasticated waist band 😂

Oh yes, those trousers do look a bit funny. Like they have been taken in a lot (and hastily)?

I quite like the white dress, but agree the top and trousers are a bit more flattering and age appropriate

@locketrocket - oh, thee and me both, pet. Waves to @mathanxiety 👋

Afternoon royal cat burglars jewellery fans! Thanks for the new thread Maireas, excellent title as always.

Afternoon, @notsuchafrugalkitty - I trust you are seated on a velvet throne, bedecked with bling?

Found you all!
Ooh I really like Sofia's white shirt dress.
Max looks fabulous as ever in her blue, with matching enormo sapphire and diamond accessories!
The royal horses and dogs are all in training now for the big day and getting extra grooming.

Here. Still waiting on my tiara. I’m scared I get an envelope of crystals and a bit of paper telling me how to assemble it.

*shouldvegonetogarrards 😭

Waves to @Eaumyword 👋! I'm glad the animals are getting ready!

Well, @ArcaneWireless , I put it in a jiffy bag, wrapped in torn up copies of Woman's Weekly, so I don't know how you haven't got it. I'm sitting here wearing the Kokoshnik, just to get ready for the Coronation.

@maireas

I think I might heras the WW, spread some glue on a paper hat, throw the glittery bits at them and hope for the best.

I can’t afford the courier and security for my proper ones. 😭

@Maireas Woman's Weekly always makes me giggle and think of the dear departed Victoria Wood getting beaten on the bottom with one in her song about spicing up her marriage 😂🤭

Heras? Read. I’ve a thumb on the wonk.

@ArcaneWireless - you'd do a fabulous job!

True, @Eaumyword - my Mum got that magazine every week!

Victoria Wood = goddess.

...and very much missed ☹️

Aye. 🥺

@Maireas

And lo, it has arrived ✨☺️
