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 😊

Well, @gluenotsoup , perhaps a spell in Bold Towers while you reflect on things?

I did see that - they've clearly observed her literal dressing! I can't believe the Kate actress is Mr Bean's girlfriend!

I know. She recently had a baby, too.

She used to go out with James Acaster before and he worked being dumped for Mr Bean into one of his routines.

Ok, bold friends - nearly time for another thread - it's going to be the big one!

I really like the coat, the white shoes I hate.

I think you should leave it til Saturday morning otherwise it'll start to fill up before this one is over!

But most importantly, what will the title be??

It feels a bit formal/staid for a pub visit.

A couple of great suggestions on here!
I just think we'll finish this before Saturday morning. We can always start another if we fill it up. I actually have no idea what day it is today, what with strikes and bank holidays.

Isn't there a big coronation reception /dinner on Friday evening? We might need a new thread ready for that! I am hoping for glamorous gowns and tiaras...

Oh yes, and it better not be one of those private events we never see photos of!

So we're going Big and Bold for the King's Coronation @Maireas.

We are indeed, my friend!

Someone has started a thread in the Royal Family section called Coronation Snaps. Some nice pre Coronation pictures.

Dr Biden has tweeted that she's on her way to the UK for the coronation... I have high hopes for her outfits, I am content she will not disappoint 😄 LOVED her inauguration outfits!

Ahhh they can feck off... we all know this is the REAL thread 😁 It will be quite funny when non-regulars find this thread on Saturday though... there will be a total de-railment for the spreadsheet of splendour and acronyms alone 🤣

True, @Gooseysgirl - but I am enjoying her snaps ☺️

LOVES: Leti's red evening dress. She looks amazing, and the tiara is the perfect finishing touch.

HATES: Those white stilettos of Kate's. So tacky. And the combination of a summery white dress in a lightweight fabric with what looks like a winter coat is very odd to me. Though I agree that tomato red is a great colour.

Looking forward to our bold new thread! Let the festivities and fashion begin!

If there's going to be an influx of newbies then I think @Maireas may have to put our ahem, "guidelines" in the OP of the next thread. Just so it's clear we aren't like certain other royal threads and are very much focused on the clothes and jewellery rather than family feuds!

We'll see them off, @KillingMeDeftly ! We take no nonsense.

Kate's outfit today was a complete fail for me. I hate red and white together and the mix was clunky. All wrong for a Tube ride and a trip to the pub.

I fear at this rate we may see her as a Pearly Queen on Saturday.

I seem to remember wearing similar white shoes to my cousins wedding in the 80s.

I might need a lie down after that!

Yeah I agree, KM was a total fashion fail for me today... I bloody hate those white stilettos and it was far too warm in London today for that long coat, very odd choice.

Sophie yesterday at BH garden park... I'm on the fence about this one! Love the colours and style but not sure about the check pattern.

I like Sophie’s garden party ensemble - perhaps the tiniest bit tableclothesque but in general, I approve! Which I’m sure she’ll be thrilled about .
