The credit is to CoutureandRoyals on Twitter but here are the 6 settings of Princess Sofia’s wedding tiara 👑

Emerald 💚
Just diamonds 💎
Pearl 🤍
Turquoise 💙
Blue topaz 🩵
Citrine 💛

My vote is for the pearl version but I do also like the citrine.

I am assuming that this one is already taken @Maireas ?

@CliffsofMohair - I will shortly consult The Spreadsheet of Splendour!
Interesting about the Pastor.

Pearls or diamonds I think. Such a versatile piece, everyone should have at least one. Or several 😆

gluenotsoup · 16/09/2023 12:57

They’re all lovely actually. I think I might like it best just with the diamonds. Or maybe the citrine. The are other tiaras with emerald or pearl that I prefer.

Maireas · 16/09/2023 13:06

I don't think it's taken @ChicoryDip , unless it's known by a particular name - was it her wedding tiara?

This lady looks super happy to be hanging with Fred.

Who wouldn't be? I quite like the slightly dissolute looks his beard gives him. Blush

It seems to have a flexible share, too (or maybe different frames) because she’s worn it like a flat circle tiara on top of her head, and then also as a kokoshnik shape a and more towards a halo too. Such a versatile piece of jewellery! I wasn’t so fond of it when she wore it for her wedding, but I am now a convert.

Meg looking great at Canadian Invictus reception last night.

This dress is a very good look for Meghan - she really suits a halterneck and a skimming style

Lunde · 16/09/2023 14:02

KillingMeDeftly · 16/09/2023 09:36

She loves that neckline doesn't she? Very similar to her wedding reception dress.

She also wore this Carolina Herrera dress which I'm not so keen on. Step away from the waist ties Megs!

Is Invictus over now?

I don't like the shirt-waister style on Meghan it's not a flattering look for those of us that are short waisted. It also is too long for her which doesn't flatter either. It looks a bit like something Camilla would wear.

Lunde · 16/09/2023 14:24

I love the fact that the Scandi Royals are not scared to bring out the big jewels and big tiaras for major royal events.

Also like that the Danish royals brought their own Royal Yacht and moored it near the Palace to use as sleeping accommodation

It seems that the Swedish Royals are sticking to their slimmed down RF that was announced in 2019 and limiting the formal events to the working RF - Estelle and Oscar have been front and centre but no sign of PCP or PM's kids.

Also love that Estelle is becoming a style icon - really liked the baby-blue, houndstooth check suit that she wore to the church service and balcony appearance.

Many thanks. Might need a big blow dry to cope with it

Maireas · 16/09/2023 15:17

Quite. I do not have tiara hair.

Camilla in a blue skirt suit at Doncaster Racecourse right now. Awaiting the start of the St Leger. Not sure about the hat

user1471519902 · 16/09/2023 15:48

Shame their horse didn't win, but Camilla looked just right. Still not sure about the hat shape.

MrsLeonFarrell · 16/09/2023 16:00

That turquoise tipped tiara is my favourite so far, anyone got dibs? Will also need the hair to wear it on.

I agree that Meghan needs to stay away from shirt waisters, I think she also needs you accept she isn't tall and hem a few things higher. Overall though I thought her Invictus wardrobe was good this year and a vast improvement on what she wore last year, much more casual and in keeping with what everyone else is wearing.

MrsFinkelstein · 16/09/2023 16:07

themessygarden · 13/09/2023 16:32

I must be the only one who thinks that outfit on Meghan is dreadful. It looks thrown together without any thought, the whole outfit is swamping her.

I think maybe it is the center parting why she looks different, along with the weight loss from her face.

You're not alone.

I don't like it at all. And I don't think it's flattering to her either - her legs look far too skinny, especially her calves in those shorts, I think she looked much better in the black dress and the skinny jeans.
The waistband was too high for her again and the jacket too bulky and boxy.

I also didn't like the flat shoes, again it made her legs look way too skinny. She suited the trainers far more.

I liked her hair and makeup though.

That's a stunning look for her.

Really suits her.

Still not a fan of the shorts/short jumpsuits for her, or the shirt waisted dresses.

Ohpleeeease · 16/09/2023 16:57

Just de-lurking to say I don’t like Meghan’s play suit and jacket look either. Shorts were an odd choice for the event, and short shorts a dreadful one. Even someone with great legs would struggle to pull that off. I think the longer tailored style she sometimes wears would have been better.

I’ve liked her other Invictus outfits on the whole, the halterneck especially.
