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

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

Last day of Swedish celebrations. I’m not loving any of these outfits. Bar Estelle’s. Sorry ladies.

Emma Tallulah Bahn makes confirmation in Norway. Ingrid Alexandra in a seventies inspired outfit.

I'm guessing Emma is wearing a traditional outfit, but I can't work out Ingrid's. The boots are an interesting choice!

Well, the Swedish RF have given us some nice looks over the last few days, but I'm inclined to agree with you about those latest onrs, @CliffsofMohair - bar Estelle.

Some cute family photos from the last day of the Swedish celebrations. I am loving the fact that Sofia’s middle son is a Louis-like live wire. 😀 And a very sweet photo of Daniel and Estelle.

I think that’s Maud, ML’s eldest daughter. It’s her sister who is being confirmed.

Yep interesting choice of boots there from Ingrid Alexandra. If you have the legs why not though 😁 . Unlike me. I do not have the legs.

I like the way he's carrying his mum's handbag!

CPV looks good but Madeleine is cosplaying Kate and Sofia's jacket is way too long.

Ingrid certainly stood out among the traditional costume that the other women were wearing to the confirmation!

That green dress in Meghan was super!! Great colour on her.

The Shaman's suit is quite something! Emma is very like Martha Louise isn't she?

I like Victoria's dress. I love that cobalt blue, and I would wear that. Sophia's pink could be nice if it wasn't hidden under the huge jacket.
The Scandinavian Royal's have brought it this weekend 👌
Love that teal dress on Megs. Again, I would wear that (if I was much, much thinner)

The Norwegian traditional dress is lovely. I was just admiring the embroidery.
Full marks to the Shamen for his suit.....

I did wonder if Sofia chose the jacket to try and hide something but probably not!

They all have have the most amazing skin and makeup, Catherine, Meghan, all of the Scandinavian women, I would love to know the secret to their flawless skin and makeup.

Money!

Kate is definitely having some good tweaks here and there. Her formerly lined forehead is now smooth.

I think Leti, CPM, CPV, Rania, Kate, and Meghan all have those tweakments - some more subtle than others. It's got to be tricky as a woman in the public eye, ageing isn't for the faint hearted. I'm glad Caroline of Hanover (nee Monaco) seems to be ageing naturally. She's still so elegant and chic.

Would agree, that's a stunning look for her. Hair and makeup totally on point too. Not sure about the shoes. Strappy sandals would be better IMO.

Block bold colours really suit her, esp in those styles you mention. One of my favourite outfits of hers is that yellow dress she wore in 2018/2019.

I know the neutral/latte shades are "in" at the moment (with that "old money" trend), but IMO very few people can actually pull it off and the colour palette is pretty boring to me.

@MrsFinkelstein - that yellow dress is my favourite! That was 2018, I think, when she had a Commonwealth role. It was so simple, yet stunning.

I channel CRH for a big huge "gaw-guss" to her for that dress.

Everything about it was perfect for her.

I love Portrait. The fluidity of movement in their clothes

Oh that pale blue outfit is gorgeous and ethereal.

Dig out your brooches girls they're bang on trend.

We love our brooches! I wear one on my jacket lapel at work - I think some of us shared our collections on the last thread!

I didn't realise Meghan's dress was lacy. It is still a lovely colour but I don't like the lace fabric. I originally thought it was just textured.

I'm also not a fan of strapless dresses, which is nothing to do with Meghan, I just worry they'll slip down!
