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 😊

You're a pregnancy role model, @KillingMeDeftly !!

Lovely pic of Charlotte.
Eugene looks better in a longer line dress. She does like her beige coats!

I think Eugenie would look better in a lower neckline if she wants to wear a print. It’s just all a bit busy otherwise (I say as a pregnant woman who mainly lives in my dressing gown atm).

I know we criticise the dress not the wearer but I’ve noticed that Beatrice has seemed a little drawn. Her clothes have looked fab though!

Yes, I noticed that too. We’ve also said similar about Edward lately. Recent events must have taken their toll and stress shows on all of us.
Wow, @KillingMeDeftly, that really is good going in very late pregnancy! With my first child I felt invincible, right up to a couple of days before I had her at 11 days over. The healthiest I have ever felt, but I didn’t happen with my others 😂

I'm sure these have been shared on these threads before, but on a too-short run through the jewellery section of the V&A this weekend I spotted these beauties and had to share again. The Dufferin tiara and the Manchester tiara. I would love to see some tiaras this weekend, and not a floral headband in sight!

I think @MotherofPearl and I may have shares in the Manchester tiara 😍

I think you're right @gluenotsoup. We are the Manchester contingent! But I'll be in the Fife on Saturday, accessorised with the understated Greville Festoon necklace, so if you'd like to wear our Manchester tiara, you have my permission.

Thank you 😊.
I might pop it on for a bit while I’m knocking together a Coronation afternoon tea, but otherwise I’ll be wearing my emeralds and Kate’s green dress 👗 😂

I’ve just seen the clip of Anne being interviewed about her role as Gold Stick in Waiting. She says she said yes because not least it solves her dress problem..🤣.
I love it, she must hate shopping 🫢😍

There's a show at the British Museum at the moment which contains this beautiful ancient Greek tiara-like headdress. Almost 2500 years old!

That’s just so beautiful. You can imagine being worn can’t you? It’s so delicate looking to have survived 🙂

Loving Laetizia's look today, anyone have the deets on the dress, it's fabulous and the flowery bag. 💯

Leti looks nice and summery. The fabric looks lovely and she can definitely carry off white! I think the neckline seems a little high, though. Perhaps a gentle scoop or v. Cute bag, though.

I think it's guipure lace.

That's gorgeous

Ooh, Leti’s dress is a yes from me ♥️.
I wonder what she’ll choose for the Coronation? I’m looking forward to all the other Royal families outfits as much as our own.

Is anyone else having trouble adding images these past few days? I get a red error message

So I stumbled across this thread today, and now I'm hooked and would like to join in ( in anticipation of this weekend!)
I don't know all the acronyms and I'm slightly murky on a lot of the European royal families but I shall do my best to keep up😊
It looks like to be a member of your tribe I need a tiara....I've never really looked into them before, but I have worn a bad fabric floral one when I went as a hippy to my niece's fancy dress party last year, so I've looked for floral ones made of something more substantial and blingy........if the Spanish Floral Tiara isn't already taken I will have that.

Found the dress, it's Sfera, $75.😮

Royal Fashion Police round up

• Charlotte Casaraghi at the Met Gala in a lace overlayed jumpsuit
• Kate in a dreary ditsy print dress (she gets a pass this week though, up to her eyeballs probably)
• CPV in an departure from mono colour pantsuit. Interesting shape and I quite like.

We need a new thread title.

Spot the difference!

Evening, @KatharineClimpson ! I'm going to check on the Spreadsheet of Splendour. In the meantime, choose some more sparkles and decide on an outfit for Saturday!

Welcome @KatharineClimpson!
I rather like Kate's ditzy patterned dress, think it's pretty.

Underneath all that lace drapery is a perfectly nice outfit trying to get out. I know it's the Met Gala, but I don't like Charlotte's outfit.

I agree that it's great to see CPV in something other than her ubiquitous trouser suits. I do wish she wouldn't scrape her hair back quite so severely.

Kate's ditsy print is fine, unremarkable.

We seem to have timed the end of this thread well.
