@notsuchafrugalkitty if you spot the white stilettos you know what you need too do 👀

KillingMeDeftly · 15/07/2023 11:51

I think William would look a lot better with a beard.

Maireas · 15/07/2023 11:59

Noooo! I disagree,but then I didn't like beards and have never seen a man look good with one.

No, no. Thrice no. (shudders)

I think William looked nice with a beard because he had hair.. I don’t think it would look quite right now. And Charles! No, no!

Ohpleeeease · 15/07/2023 12:17

I think most of those look better with. Not sure about William, he seems to suit both. Charles is definitely better without.

Ohpleeeease · 15/07/2023 12:19

Cross post, @DuchessOfPort! I think William could probably carry it off, as long as he didn’t go full ZZ Top.

That's a very pretty dress, Lindsay looks lovely, very Wimbledon appropriate!

She looks good but those shoes are weird.

KillingMeDeftly · 15/07/2023 12:55

Kate's in lime-green Self-Portrait today. A very similar style to a few white dresses she has.

That's a nice fresh green. Dare we ask about shoes?

KillingMeDeftly · 15/07/2023 13:06

Hard to tell what they're like @Maireas but at least they aren't white stilettos!

SenecaFallsRedux · 15/07/2023 13:07

That looks mint green to me. Not my favorite color, but I like the design (including the others that she has).

Maireas · 15/07/2023 13:11

@KillingMeDeftly - phew!

OP posts:
Maireas · 15/07/2023 13:26

Her hair looks a bit more auburn in the sunshine. Pearl cluster earrings.

That's a nice 'Wimbledony' look on Kate. Would have preferred it in yellow but very happy that the dreaded white stilettos didn’t make an appearance.

Love the blue and white dress that Lyndsay (?) wore earlier in the week. She seems to wear some very stylish outfits.

KillingMeDeftly · 15/07/2023 15:48

For a moment there I thought Kate was going to have a Duchess of Kent/Jana Novotna moment with poor Ons Jabeur.

Maireas · 15/07/2023 15:48

Yes, she restrained herself. No hug.

OP posts:

She did hug her .
It was caught at the back of another shot....so sort of off camera when the winner was doing her walk around.

Maireas · 15/07/2023 16:31

Did she? That was nice. Maybe didn't want to make a big thing..

OP posts:
bizzey · 15/07/2023 16:46

It was very understated.
I caught it on the left of the TV screen sort of through the umpires chair !

Serenster · 15/07/2023 16:51

I think today’s pale acid green was my favourite of the Self Portrait variants of this Kate has. I can see why she keeps buying them - they are very versatile and really suit her.

I also saw her and the Chairan coming over to speak separately to Ons (😪) beside the Umpire’s chair while Marketa was making her victory procession around Centre Court

Maireas · 15/07/2023 16:52

I'm glad. That was tough for Ons.
