Royal Style and Beauty: Coronation, let's be bold! Bring on the diamonds and bring on the gold!

[Maireas]

Royal style fans - we're nearly there....
Bold Tower beware!

@teezletangler thank you! Yes, you’re right.

@KillingMeDeftly i think this is the dress Liz Truss was wearing, very versatile for most occasions.

I was going to buy it for a work evening do in a different colour, not sure which one though. I have the same complexion as Priti Patel although that's where the similarity ends......!

She looked beautiful beautiful elegant outfit

Where can I get the best a good look at all the style / fashion worn by guests yesterday please ?

I saw a quick glimpse of Theresa May's outfit but wasn't keen on the little glimpse I got.

Louise has had a difficult journey with her sight, being a teen is hard but with disability even harder. She is supposed to be a kind clever young woman and looked beautiful on the day

Instagram is great for this. There's an account called Royal Fashion Police that breaks all the outfits down.

I found this, which has quite a few

I'm a long time lurker and have honestly learnt so much from these threads!

Thank you @hopeishere and @VikingLady.

I'll be buying Hello too when it comes out.

Second fashion police on Instagram.

One picture of Carrie made me wonder if she was pregnant

I'll be getting hello too but I love online as you can pinch and zoom on the pictures!!

@VikingLady I was just able to see Carole Middleton, Leti and Jill Biden on that Telegraph site ( I think it's behind a paywall ).
Carole Middleton looks different. I can't put my finger on what it is.
I like her blue.
I loved, loved, loved her outfits for her daughters' weddings- the pale blue and the pale pink. Fabulous.

I was right when I posted that Sophie said to Edward "Where's William?"
in the church.
My lip reading has got better.Apparently the Walses were delayed.
I thought things were a bit frosty whatever the delay was.

@justasking111 I thought the same.

The Court Jeweler has a great post today.

I bet one of the children disappeared off for an unscheduled toilet break just as they were about to leave!

I remember Norma Major being my surprise hit of HMQ's funeral and I thought I had missed her yesterday but having Googled she didn't attend as she was unwell. I hope she gets well soon.

The Wales weren't delayed, the King and Queen arrived 8 minutes too early, so the timings were out. I suppose it's difficult with horses. That's unusual for a royal event, nevertheless. They decided to bring C and C in, rather than them sit in the carriage, or drive round the block! Charles was already anxious so I suppose that didn't help.
Norma Major is ill, I saw Cherie Booth talk to him and say she was sorry to hear that.

Thanks to everyone for all the outfit and jewellery details, it's been so interesting, I'm still working my way through!

I thought it was nice to see Cherie and John Major greeting each other so warmly.

Carol=fillers, and not done very well

Thanks @VikingLady for the telegraph link. I love the last pic with the Roksanda dress

Cherie looked very concerned when talking to him

I'm not sure it's fillers with Carole, perhaps she hasn't been well and has had to take medication that doesn't agree with her. Steroids can have a similar unfortunate effect.

I was thinking steroids as well, @KillingMeDeftly . I hope she isn't unwell.

Speaking of lip reading (apologies if this has been discussed, I can’t comb through this entire thread to check) there’s a clip on Twitter of Charles and Camilla parked outside the Abbey and Charles is having a wee rant. I can definitely lip read him saying “Every bloody time!”

Whether that’s in relation to the William and Katherine arriving after them, or something else, we’ll never know… but I think it was the former 😅

He's a typical Victor Meldrew. Philip was the same. We all know at least one 😂😂

I watched the BBC footage iplayer last night that has no commentary. It’s actually brilliant just watching everyone arrive and chatting, looking bored, the networkers working the abbey, adjusting outfits and seeing how they actually work in real life, trying to spot familiar faces. I actually liked Theresa May’s outfit in motion. Sam Cameron looked very elegant, and her hat seemed quite tactical, stopping her from having to kiss too many people! Will watch the next section tonight when the Foreign Royals arrive.

I'd rather it were bad fillers than steroids for her sake
