Love Camilla's dress, that's a gorgeous colour. I'm enjoying her style at the moment. Rania and Max look nice, nothing too outre.
Mathilde's dress reminds me of my bedroom curtains in 1975, how I loved them! There was a thing for the patchwork look, and of course yellow, orange and brown. However, that fabric should remain in 1975 with David Essex and The Bay City Rollers, imo.

Only just spotted Mathilda. My eyes! 😂
I'm sure I had something similar in about 1975 when little girls wore long dresses to parties

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! Grin She looks good but I'm not convinced those giant belts do anyone any favours.

What, like this dress??

As much as I love sofa type fabric dresses it's a big no to Mathilde's dress.
It actually looks scary as those white flowers with the black centre (Thunbergia aka Black-Eyed Susan???) look like eyes or tadpoles!
It's making me shudder.

Love Max's outfit the turquoise really suits her.

MotherofPearl · 15/06/2023 07:09

Ah, good point Killing. I can't remember anything being said about that dress.

Ohpleeeease · 15/06/2023 07:34

It’s such a shame the posy Mathilda was given clashes with her dress. I bet that was a disappointment to whoever chose it but going with a single colour was a bit of a risk.

Our spare bedroom had carpet like that circa 1975

I really don’t like Rania’s pink dress. I have a vision of QEII wearing something very similar, with a face like absolute thunder… I can’t think where or when, but I didn’t like it then and I don’t like this one either 🫣

KillingMeDeftly · 15/06/2023 14:12

Kate's oit and aboit in Cefinn and white stilettos.

And here's Max, all gowned and tiaraed up last night https://www.newmyroyals.com/2023/06/king-willem-alexander-and-queen-maxima.html?m=1

I like these offerings from Max and Charlene

CPM & Fred on their way out to a dinner in Copenhagen. Max and Wax.... just WOW!!! One of her best ever evening looks in my humble opinion!

I really don't like Ceffin clothing. Just saying 😂

justasking111 · 15/06/2023 15:23

OH and the shoes don't fit. Even the POW gets swollen feet in these shoes. I like sandals in heatwaves

Spudlet · 15/06/2023 15:41

That is a beautiful dress on Max! 😍

I agree that sandals would have looked - and surely felt - far better than the hideous white stilettos. I really dislike animal print so I'm giving the green leopard print Cefinn dress a thumbs down I'm afraid.

justasking111 · 15/06/2023 16:34

Perhaps because Meghan is a California girl but her sandals, summer choices are always gorgeous.

KillingMeDeftly · 15/06/2023 16:43

Meghan has excellent taste in shoes! Beatrice wears some lovely pairs too.

Ohpleeeease · 15/06/2023 17:40

Kate’s worn white stilettos before. They aren’t nice. I think a low block heel with a slim ankle strap would have looked better or even, brace yourselves, flats.

This is why no-one comes to me for style tips…

gingercat02 · 15/06/2023 17:57

Love Max's whole look. Dress bling and her general joie de vivre.
The dress has a similar vibe to Meg's bird dress.

Ohpleeeease · 15/06/2023 19:02

The dress has a similar vibe to Meg's bird dress.

Yes, I thought that. The Oscar de La Renta, one of her best looks IMHO.

LadyEloise1 · 15/06/2023 19:52

Max's dress "has a similar vibe to Meghan's bird dress."

I thought the very same.
Such a beautiful dress - nicer than Max's.
An iconic look on Meghan.

gluenotsoup · 15/06/2023 19:59

I quite like Kate’s dress, no strong opinions on it either way. The green amethyst earrings are pretty. Not keen on the shoes but they look like they fit to me?
I love Mary and Max’s outfits, both so flattering. I agree Max’s is similar to Megs, that was my favourite look on her.

Papergirl1968 · 15/06/2023 20:43

Another busy day for European royalty! Beatrice, Mary and Margareith

That looks like Bea's gorgeous dress from her engagement pics a few years ago!

God I really want someone to steal and burn Kate's white stilettos
