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 think Kate looks lovely as ever. I envy how put together she always looks!
I also like Meghan's shorts look. Agree her centre parting is a little harsh.
I envy both their spectacular legs, having even when I was slim, what can only be referred to as climbers legs. 🤷‍♂️

I wonder if Meghan will ever re wear the clothes from her life as a working royal? She had some amazing bespoke Givenchy and Dior, among others. Maybe she wears them at home 😊!

I think she's maybe wearing high street with an eye to her possible influencing career resuming. Great way to show JCrew and BR her selling power.

I like the elements but not together. The shorts and cardigan are slightly different shades. Plus the shorts are really crumpled looking.

I guess she is trying to go low key though, she got a lot of flak at the last games about her wardrobe. They clearly do take note .

As she was going casual though, it would have been a nice touch if she had worn the invictus polo shirt, like Harry, especially for her first day at the games.

Think Instagram account is on the cards.

Didn't she sign up for Dior earlier this year?

I know Dior provided the suit Harry wore to the Coronation.

I think she must prefer the US high street to the U.K's. Banana Republic or J. Crew are far more her style than Boden or LK Bennett!

I don't think I ever saw her in Boden or LKB. If it wasn't bespoke designer I think it was casual wear she already had, or I think there was an M&S sweater.

The M&S sweater was a black one from one of their first engagements I think.

Yes - this black jumper worn just after their engagement was announced was from M&S, as was this white fascinator. She also wore this Reiss dress while pregnant.

I think Meghan wore some fairly low-priced items on their South Africa trip, but I’m struggling to think of much else? Sine they left the Royal family she has normally worn couture and super-luxury labels.

Also, at one of her first engagements she wore a slightly off the shoulder tweed jacket, which I think was from the UK.

I remember an All Saints sweater, and maybe an H&M dress when she was pregnant. She wore a few smaller brands like Outland Denim and Hatch maternity too.

That was from Theory - an American brand

Was it, Serenster? I liked that. I also liked the pink Prada suit with the asymmetric hem.

Here, Maireas. It was lovely!

And well-remembered about the All Saints jumper, KillingMeDeftly! Meghan wore that under a J Crew jacket, it turns out.

Ok. Skinnies are in!

The sneakers are Hermes Paris.

Wasn't the chain pattern dress she wore Victoria Beckham? I'm trying to remember but I don't think she wore many UK designers, that could just be my memory though.

Meghan wore a white Victoria Beckham dress with a chain pattern on it to Westminster Abbey for Commonwealth day once, Maireas - is that what you are thinking of? She wore it with a massive white pillbox hat.

No, I didn't mean that one - I do remember the look, though.

Article about the Vladimir tiara.

And Anne and Letizia on engagements.

Anne's suit is godawful and Letizia's jacket would look better cropped.

This one? It was Reiss.

Thanks, @Papergirl1968 - that's really interesting. It's an absolutely stunning piece. It looks like it can be made smaller, Grand Duchess Maria is wearing it like a little coronet. Wonderful picture of Queen Mary in full sail!
