I was a bit ho hum about the jumpsuit - I think because it’s so close in design to a dress she already has in t colour. I’d like to see it in a different shade.

Here’s CPV looking beautifully put together at a music concert. It’s a very restrained look, but the print on the skirt, the pops of orange and the earrings really liven it up for me.

I love CPV's skirt.

Has Kate ever made an appearance in a jumpsuit?

Maireas · 12/06/2023 19:37

I really love this look on CPV. She looks elegant, but there's a relaxed vibe. I like the skirt print and cut, great pairing with the shirt and orange accessories.

I don't think Kate has ever worn a jumpsuit!

She's tall and slim but quite long-bodied isn't she? So maybe it's tricky to get jumpsuits in the right proportion.

When you're the POW you can get them tailor made to suit your body.

Yes, I am tall and long bodied and do not wear jumpsuits because they are always too short in the body. But as you say, Kate could have one made.

She might be like me and hate having to strip to go for a wee, then worry about the stupid thing either pooling on the floor immediately in front of the toilet bowl (which could have been previously visited by a boy with poor aim) or trying to balance it over one arm without it slipping of and landing in the loo.

I also love CPV's skirt. The whole outfit is great, though I'm on the fence about the earrings.

Eaumyword · 12/06/2023 22:28

Love CPV's skirt and outfit. So pretty.

Newby to this thread, hope that’s OK. I’m not keen on this particular jumpsuit on Camilla but I applaud the move towards a more comfortable style. I notice Camilla wears boots quite often and I wonder if she prefers to keep her legs covered. I think she would suit trousers with a slimmer leg shape.

Maireas · 13/06/2023 07:06

Welcome, @Ohpleeeease ! The jumpsuit has divided opinion - although as you say, it's nice to see someone trying out new styles. Fashion ain't just for the young and skinny!
She may well be conscious of her legs, have veins etc. I also think she quite rightly goes for footwear that she can stand or walk for a long time in, with comfort.

I love The Jumpsuit. Not for what it is but for what it represents. I just love to see a woman that age having fun with clothes or anything else.

justasking111 · 13/06/2023 08:33

In this hot weather long light fabric dresses will suit Camilla. I remember reading that she finds the heat difficult to endure. Overseas trips in particular.

LadyEloise1 · 13/06/2023 08:58

Re CPV I don't like the shirt with the skirt. They look incongruous imho. I think a silk knit long sleeved t-shirt style would be nicer.

gluenotsoup · 13/06/2023 09:47

I love CPV’s skirt outfit. The orange lifts it just enough, my type of thing. Don’t like the earrings though, I can’t get on board with these Bet Lynch chandelier styley things at all.

Queen Rania must have bought a few gowns from Elie Saab when she was getting her outfits for her son’s wedding - here she is in a stunning gown at a dinner in Jordan. I think this is gorgeous.

It's strange because it looks almost like a breast plate, doesn't it? I like it, though, and the colour looks good on Rania..

KillingMeDeftly · 13/06/2023 19:38

Maybe she got a 3 for 2 deal @Serenster!

ChicoryDip · 13/06/2023 20:32

That dress looks good on Queen Rania. In a different colour I could imagine Kate in that.

Lovely dress on Sophie this evening. She looks fantastic and I like the shoes with it.

Now that is a really nice dress on Sophie. Lovely colour and the fit is great. I love the pleating.

MotherofPearl · 13/06/2023 21:12

That's the best I think I've seen Sophie look. The shape and cut of the dress is perfect for her - the slightly cinched in waist, the pleats, and the deep v neck. She looks great!

Serenster · 13/06/2023 21:13

(Shhh…. Sophie’s dress is Erdem!) 😀

KillingMeDeftly · 13/06/2023 21:19

Sophie looks really good and nice to see her in a richer colour.

Took me a moment to realise it was William with her, not Edward!
