I must be getting old because i like the Duchess of Gloucester's dress for a garden party today, and I also quite like a lot of Camilla's outfits.

Looks like her and Queen Cams have the same footwear too.

Ah. Now I know I need to stay on this thread for years… we have y10 mocks stress here and I’m going to need some serious tiara distraction to get me through the next few years if this is a taster of things (drama) to come.😬

Yep, I'm desperate need of bling and petticoats to distract from hormonal and exam stresses teens 🙈

Kate in pink today - I like it, though a reappearance of the white shoes..

That is a very pink outfit. I have two slips and a petticoat. I like things with linings.

Confirmation of Sofía.

The Spanish princesses look fabulous... God I have such high hopes for them in the fashion stakes as they get older and they do not disappoint 🥰 QL on the other hand... not a fan of her outfit at all!

Love Kate's pink trouser suit... but for the love of god someone needs to burn those white stilettos!!! Flats would have been sooo much better 🤷🏻‍♀️

gluenotsoup · 25/05/2023 16:24

Ooh, I do like the full on pink of today’s outfit. It’s a good shade, not too Barbie. I would have chosen something other than white for the shoes and belt though.
The Spanish princesses are already stylish, I think they’ll just get better and better .
Leti - that’s not a flattering length for the trousers, it’s not one thing or the other and looks odd.

gluenotsoup · 25/05/2023 16:27

I might have put a little bit of animal print or gunmetal with the pink to just edge it up ever so slightly.

paradyning · 25/05/2023 16:32

Terrible terrible belt too. Accessories fail once again

Serenster · 25/05/2023 16:33

I like the suit, but would have preferred it so much more as a three piece with a sharply tailored waistcoat in the same fabric underneath the jacket, rather than the blouse. Would have done away with the need for the belt, too! Amazingly, I don’t mind the white shoes.

mikado1 · 25/05/2023 16:42

Like others, like the suit and colour, no to the shows and the belt is nearly worse! Can't imagine reaching for either.

gluenotsoup · 25/05/2023 16:51

Ha! @Serenster, I was banished to Bold Towers to have a long think about quite liking the white shoes. You’d best start thinking about packing an overnight bag and a snack 👍🏼

So..... if the PoW wears white stilettos does that mean they're no longer naff ?

Mind you she also wears tights with espadrilles which would also have been considered naff when I was younger.

I think I saw a photo of Alexandra Shulman ( ex Vogue editor ) in a pair of white, heeled shoes also ( that may have just been a nightmare dream ).

Maireas · 25/05/2023 17:08

I like the fact that Kate is wearing more trouser suits. A bit more modern and sharp. I really dislike the shoes and belt, though.

The belt is awful. Is pink the thing this year?

Agree!
I really like the pink on pink though - but not the belt and shoes.

N0tfinished · 25/05/2023 18:26

Like the suit & blouse combo, much sharper than a contrasting blouse or tee under. I like the way the neckline of the blouse echoed the jacket. I agree a waistcoat would have been perfect! That shade of pink suits her.

FMLWTF · 25/05/2023 18:59

White heels are back I’m afraid! I follow Ginnie Chadwyck-Healy on Instagram and she’s been raving about them recently. She writes for the Telegraph and was informal stylist for Kate when her proper stylist was on maternity leave I think. The fashion crowd are definitely wearing white stilettos… I actually think Kate rocks them.

justasking111 · 25/05/2023 19:07

I've never had a problem with white shoes but not so keen on the court shoe style

Confirmation of Sofía.

I've long thought that Infanta Sofia is a RS&B future star! I actually would wear half of what she wears myself and I'm more than twice her age!

gluenotsoup · 25/05/2023 21:02

I’ve got a pair of white, heeled sandals. They look good with the right thing.🤷🏻‍♀️🤣

MotherofPearl · 25/05/2023 21:15

I'm afraid I can't think of a single thing I like about Kate's outfit today. My feelings about white stilettos can't be put into words that would be suitable for our lovely threads!

The Spanish princesses both look great but agree that Leti's outfit is a rare fail.

You can't say that without attaching a picture.....
