Oh, there’s loads! My mind is boggling with the thoughts of just how many leaders and foreign royalty is/ will be present, the sheer security issues, and collective wealth and influence is just 🤯.
Style - love Kate’s hair, Amalia, Jetsun, Moroccan Princess, Mary’s outfit.
I like the colour of Leti’s dress but not the ruching, I’m undecided about Charlene’s, and I’m not too keen on Kate’s. At least the red, white and blue are out of the way now, maybe gold tomorrow?
Sorry not to see Max tonight, but I had a mini moment where I thought Penny Mordaunt was Max 😂.
I’m a bit disappointed it’s not full on glamour, but maybe that’s a sign that it’s being held in check for tomorrow.

Maria Teresa got the bling memo

It's a much better look for her tonight than the giant cabbage.

Happy king

If Kate shows up in one those bloody headbands...

To be fair the only way was up from there.

gluenotsoup · 05/05/2023 20:08

If it’s a headband that matches a green coat I’m finished

justasking111 · 05/05/2023 20:20

No sign of Camilla, guess it's feet up and a lovely tinkling glass of gin and tonic.

She's going to be very gassy after that.

I actually popped up horseguards parade to see where all the guests for tonight’s reception were being penned waiting to take their turn to get in their cars with security escorts. It was fascinating to watch it in progress and so many foreign security around. I got to see CP Mary and Fred go by, and was most upset to see no tiaras. Had the kids with me though otherwise would have watched the whole thing.

Gooseysgirl · 05/05/2023 20:31

I'm gutted at lack of tiaras etc this evening!!
Anyhow...
My winner is EBG... love the coral/pinky colour of the dress and turquoise clutch. Also love Letizia, Marie-Chantal, Jetsun, and CPV.
I adore Charlene's jumpsuity capey outfit, the colour is gorgeous on her and she is just looking so much better lately - I hope she is fully recovered.
Disappointed in Dr Jill, hoping she pulls out all the stops tomorrow.
Amalia rocking another great trouser suit, would love to have seen her in a brighter colour though. GDMT... marginally better than the wedding. I really don't like Kate's dress at all, although hair is fab as usual! As for Mrs Sunak... WTAF... the less said the better, money cannot buy taste that's for sure, completely inappropriate and tacky.

The Queen of Thailand received the memo. She has some stonking diamonds

Sooooo sparkly

BornBlonde · 05/05/2023 20:34

MotherofPearl · 05/05/2023 18:24

I like Leti's dress. I'd say it's chartreuse?

I must say I am saddened by the absence of bling and tiaras.

@MotherofPearl I thought the dress was by Victoria Beckham? Though I read it online so may be incorrect

Oh I'm envious! I imagine that the atmosphere is already building.

I like EBG's polka dot blouse, but then I love polka dots. Less keen on the floral one.

You'd love my polka dot work uniform blouses then (GP receptionist) - 100 per cent polyester so bonus is they dry in about an hour! 😂

MotherofPearl · 05/05/2023 20:40

Yes @BornBlonde it is VB. I see Town & Country have copied my description of it as chartreuse:

At least the cabbage stayed at home

Apparently Dr Biden is KC’s 13th cousin once removed.
also attending is Finnegan Biden, her granddaughter.

Myaiminlife · 05/05/2023 20:47

@Papergirl1968 wow I had no idea that we had an actual dragon on the thread! Joking of course - GPs receptionists do an amazing job I have no idea where the reputation come from ours are always really lovely.

CliffsofMohair · 05/05/2023 20:48

Thought Olena Zylinskyaa was Max
