Royal Style and Beauty: Trooping forward - colour glitter and style but more tiaras may take a while..

[Maireas]

New thread!
Welcome old friends and new!

Nooooo! What's happening, Erdem?! I love it!

Oh lord, I love it too! What is happening?! It's like a weird Scooby Doo parallel universe 😂

In royal baby news, queen Jetsun has confirmed her pregnancy.

💕 lovely!

Here's a nice retrospective on Camilla's Trooping the Colour outfits. The blog post focuses on the jewels but I'd not noticed before how nice some of her clothes were:

That’s a fab dress on Sophie. I had a little smirk to myself when I saw it was Erdem and came to find you all😂. I love the whole thing, colour and fit are beautiful.
I’m in the minority in quite liking some of the Erdem dresses (off to Bold Towers I go…) but lately they do look a lot better and less 1970’s curtains.

Had she not realised until now. 😁😁😁

I still think someone a lot closer to home is broody again.

Lovely 🥰

I think Erdem have been lurking on these threads and have decided to appease the mob with some dresses that don’t look like they were cut out of yer nan’s curtains (ala Kate in The Windsors Christmas special, perhaps), because that is a nice dress on Sophie. We’ve become influencers! Sign me up for the #ad freebies 😂

Now now @justasking111 that's a very cryptic comment.

The Erdem on Sophie is nice.
It's grand.
Let's not get too excited, just because it's Erdem and not horrendous.
It cost £1350.

Sophie looks incredible in that dress. Thumbs up from me.

Sophie and CPV both look lovely, good spring looks.
Cams hats are always epic, and she does love that pearl choker (but why not!)
Hoping she really goes for it at the Trooping now she is Queen

She does suit a big hat with a jaunty brim 👍🏼

Got to hand it to Camilla, she is absolutely the Queen of Hats.

I think Sophie looks fab in that Erdem dress, it really suits her figure and colouring. I’ll be absolutely honest though, if I saw it on the hanger I don’t think I’d recognise it was high end.

@Ohpleeeease writes ".... if I saw it on the hanger I don't think I'd recognise it was high end."
I totally agree.
But infinitely better than the Swedish curtains.

Sophie does look nice in her Erdem dress but it's not Erdem enough for me says this mustard sofa dress lover 😂

Yes, it's nice but if I didn't know it was Erdem I'd assume somewhere like Hobbs or Whistles.

I've found a way to square the Erdem situation with myself. Sophie's dress is simply the exception that proves the rule.

That’s is absolutely true about the Erdem - it’s not a dress that looks like it’s worth that much money. It is very nice though.

QC wears hats the way I do. Go big or go home.

What I love about Camilla’s oversized hats is that they are so elegant, they remind me of the confections worn by Edwardian ladies.

Speaking of 1970s (or are these 60s?) curtains, Mathilde has been out and about. Nice cut on her I think, but I'm afraid it's a hard no from me to the fabric.

Rania in pink D&G, Camilla in green for once complete with bee brooch on her belt, Leti in Cambodia and Max looking her usual flamboyant self!

I'm not a fan of Rania's pink lace dress at all, but I like Cams' green dress very much.

Can you imagine the conniptions the British press would have if one of women in the BRF wore a dress with a split as high as Max's! She looks good but I'm not convinced those giant belts do anyone any favours.

The green is good but the bee on the belt would give me the creeps and I’d be nervous all day.
Max looks fab.
Mathilda in the orange, yellow and brown is not good. Brings back hideous childhood memories 😂
