Don't think I've seen Cams in pink before. She looks nice.

HilaryThorpe · 20/09/2023 15:41

I heard the TV presenters say the hat was Philip Treacy, but not sure about the dress. She was hanging on to the hat and tidying her hair all the time. I didn't like Brigitte Macron's dark blue with buttons, but I never like her clothes. Her hair didn't budge a centimetre.

Cams looks nice in the pink, I’m also not a fan of Mme Macron style wise.
I’m weighing up a curtain fringe too. I have a fringe now, which looks very Audrey Hepburn on a good day, but sadly I have more bad days where I look like the love child of Dawn French and Noel Fielding. 😳

Pure specualtion, but I have often wondered if Mme Macron wears a wig. I did note she’s gone for a longer hem-length than usual, she is a great fan of a short skirt.

Camilla’s pink outfit would have been the perfect foil for her stunning pink tourmaline clasp on her pearl necklace. It’s one of my favourites of her jewels. Opportunity lost!

I also liked the joint fly-past from the Red Arrows and the French Airforce display team. I presume that’s not that common?

MrsLeonFarrell · 20/09/2023 16:15

I love Camilla's hat, very sensible with all that wind too

LadyEloise1 · 20/09/2023 16:57

I also wondered that too @Serenster but was afraid to ask on this thread.

HilaryThorpe · 20/09/2023 17:20

A l'occasion de la visite d'état du souverain britannique Charles III en France, la Patrouille de France et les Red Arrows de la Royal Air Force, ont défilé ensemble au-dessus des Champs-Élysées, un évènement rare qui était précédemment survenu le 18 juin 2020 à l'occasion de l'anniversaire de l'appel du Général de Gaulle. (1940 we are here and fighting on in Britain).
It looks from that as if it was the second time.
Yes I think Brigitte Macron's hair looks like a wig too. Somebody once described her clothes as a Star Trek look. 😂

Just in case you fancy a Wednesday Royal S&B themed dinner to go with your tiaras here is the menu for tonight's Versailles dinner:

Starter: Blue lobster and pot crab with a veil of fresh almonds and peppermint
(Created by Anne-Sophie Pic, the only French chef with three Michelin stars)

Main Course: Bresse chicken with corn and a porcini mushroom gratin
(Cooked by Yannick Alléno)

Cheese: 30-month-old Comté, Stichelton English blue

Desert: Isfahan Persian macaroon
(Pierre Hermé's signature pudding inspired by the ancient city in Iran, and containing rose water, raspberries, and lychees)

Maireas · 20/09/2023 17:41

Love the pictures of Leonor, I'm glad she's obviously doing well with the training.
Camilla doesn't often wear that shade of pink, but it does suit her. I'm not a fan of Mme Macron's style usually, because I always think that the fabrics look a bit stiff and the skirts are a strange length.
That dinner looks nice, but aren't there any chips with the chicken?

Wow, Cams looks fabulous in that baby pink, she so suits soft pastels. I had to zoom in to double check it was her - she really looks good!
That dinner looks far too posh for me. I'd personally prefer pie and mash with a nice treacle tart or sticky toffee pudding to finish off 😂

Good Lord that sounds delicious. I'm on the train home and famished, so reading that hasn't helped, especially as Comte is my absolute favourite cheese.

I wonder what a veil of fresh almonds is? Confused

KillingMeDeftly · 20/09/2023 18:16

La Macron does have a slight look of Mature Star Trek Barbie, I agree.

MotherofPearl · 20/09/2023 18:16

More glamour from Leti. I'm not convinced by the two bows on the skirt of this otherwise lovely dress, but I like the length (ballerina?), and the diamond bracelet on her right arm is beautiful. Good shoes too.

Also included a few photos which show her hair waved - a nice change.

Great photos of Leonor in uniform, really looking the part.

Leti looks lovely, the ballerina length suits her and her hair is gorgeous. Love the shoes.
I notice that she's wearing my bracelet! (The Queen Ena bracelet. Mine all mine.)

Time to put your scrunchies and espadrilles in the cupboard - autumn coats are go. Wrap speed 10.

MotherofPearl · 20/09/2023 18:51

@Maireas I think you have to include something about the King enjoying a varied wardrobe, surely? Smile

I like Letis dress's skirt naphtha overall look, but the top doesn't fit

Those bracelets are impressive

Oh yes. The varied wardrobe!!!

Only the King has a more varied wardrobe than Mr Benn.
