In a bodice that tight I'm not surprised! Poor girl probably couldn't breathe!!

Kate at the Anna Freud Centre today. Not sure if that's a new dress or she's dyed the white one she's worn before. I quite like the 1940s vibe and her shoes are fun.

Hi - does any one know if Kate is wearing tights here?

SqueakyDinosaur · 21/05/2023 20:26

I can't remember which one out of Beatrice Borromeo and Charlotte Casiraghi was wearing the hideous Dior dress, but here's what Dior can do if they want to, so I'd be livid if I were B or C.

Perhaps the tights edict went out with the Queen's demise but if it's nude tights you're after then Falke's Shelina are excellent.

Ahhhh... it's the return of the trustee wedges 👀

MotherofPearl · 22/05/2023 17:05

Considering that it's a silk dress I don't think it hangs very nicely, and something about the fit doesn't look quite right to me. Plus that shade of pink is gruesome imo. But as always she looks polished and poised.

That's a terrible colour unless you are a preschooler.
Kate is too thin for shapeless clothes (not too thin generally before anyone has a go). You need boobs or hips or both for hangy dresses imo.

Maireas · 22/05/2023 17:39

I actually think Sophie would look good in the dress.

I think Sophie might also have that dress or did I imagine that? She wears a lot of Me + Em.

KillingMeDeftly · 22/05/2023 17:47

A tip for anyone who likes Kate's dress: if you go to the Me + Em sample sale then the silk dresses are only £100-150!

Maireas · 22/05/2023 17:48

She does, so if she doesn't have it already, she ought to!

The Spencer twins have also been at Chelsea. I like the red shoes and clutch but that's about it!

Oh dear. No to the sugar pink and no to the ruches and tiers....

I like Kate's pink dress on her and the colour.
Not keen on the Spencer twin looks.

Another particularly lovely picture from the Bavaria wedding at the weekend.

I’m not feeling it Chanel.

I like the white trews and silver jacket combo there. The other outfits not so much.
