Royal Style and Beauty - what goes in the Bold Tower? White stilettos, green coats and too much of the flower?

[Maireas]

We're over here!
Welcome one, welcome all!

I like Kate in the dark suit, I think it's sharper and more modern. I'm not sure about her hair, although she does have lovely locks. Good outing today, for Action on Addiction, and visiting a prison. She'd injured her hand trampolining with the kids!

You must fly an airline with larger toilets and clean floors 😂

Kate very rarely wears bright or dark lipstick, she usually emphasises her eyes. She has green eyes so smokey eyeshadow really suits her.

I really like her look today .Smart and autumnal. She is very very slim.

A full length pic of Kate in her Alexander McQueen suit.
Plus Victoria at the opening of Parliament and Max (oh dear) at a gaming industry meeting.

I think Kate’s hair is starting to age her. Too long, too dark, too ‘done’.

Ooh, Kate's suit is lovely, great cut.
Max- really, we love you, but no.

Oh Max, U can’t touch those! 🤣

😂

I'll whisper this, but I think in that close up photo of Kate it looks like she's had work done, I've no idea what but she doesn't look quite herself to me. Can't put my finger on it though. She looked fab at the prison today outfit wise though.

I'd also believe any theories about C & A. Given the clauses put into Grace and Rainier's contract about the state 'owning' the children, I don't think C will ever leave altogether as A would keep custody (presuming a similar arrangement between them).

I don't know that she's had work as such but I'd be very surprised if any 40something woman in the public eye hadn't had a few tweakments like Botox or subtle fillers!

I agree about Charlene but she has family living in Monaco who surely could've helped if she wanted out? She's certainly sitting on a bestseller once the twins come of age.

There is definitely something different about Kate, but it may just be that shot. One photo is just that moment, obvs.
I like her hair shorter too.

If she wanted out before they married that is, not now they've got the twins.

Kate's face looks a bit fuller, maybe a post holiday kilo or two, thank god they appear to have sorted out the botox eyebrow. Should those trousers be ankle length with those high shoes? or maybe lower heeled shoes. She looked glowing in the rugby video, her makeup was beautiful.

I thought it was her dad who made her come back (but that might be tabloid bs). She is trapped now, as was Grace. Apparently, she was planning to leave Rainier when the children grew up.

Talking about looking different, Meghan looks very different in those photos at Invictus.

I like that black dress she is wearing, casual and chic.

Yes, Meghan does casual chic well, and I like the Banana Republic shirt dress. The only thing is the belt - I'm short waisted as well, and sometimes a belt is difficult to position. Hair and makeup great as per, although I agree, @themessygarden , she looks a bit different..is it the eyebrows?.

That's one of her better belted ensembles. I wouldn't say she looks very different, maybe just a bit. A stronger brow and some forehead Botox?

I think her forehead has way too much botox for starters, she has lost all the baby weight, so maybe her veneers are now too big for her face. I really can't figure it out , but I am fascinated as to what is the difference 😏

That dress is Banana Republic ? wow, I love it.

She has veneers?

I love Meghan's black shirt-dress. She looks great.

I've thought that for a while.
I support the right of any woman (or man) to dress how they want and not give a damn what anyone else thinks, but it's also my opinion that there comes a point in a woman's life when she needs to do away with the long flowing locks of her youth.

It’s a nice dress but she has the same problem I have with shirt dresses - the belt rides up and suddenly it’s a bit Empire line.

I've never understood this whole "older women shouldn't have long hair" thing. Kate isn't even that old - she's only 41!

Nooo! Why shouldn't a woman keep her lovely long hair?!
