CPM is channeling Lady Sarah Chatto, and it definitely works for her.

MsMarch · 03/10/2023 16:30

CPM looked great. it's not terribly original but really works well.

Kate's blouse is much better than the hideous polo neck but I don't like the trousers. They sit funny and don't really work on her. I mean, she doesn't look bad, just not as elegant and well put together as normal.

MotherofPearl · 03/10/2023 17:02

I love CPM's outfit - she looks so elegant and polished.

I really dislike the POW's pinstripe suit. It's the wrong shape, creased, and has too many buttons. Besides, I'm not that keen on pinstripe suits in general.

Serenster · 03/10/2023 17:37

I love a pinstriped wide-legged trouser suit do like Kate’s look today. This photo in particular.

Also love CPM’s very stylish look.

That photo is lovely! Agree with pps, the trousers are not good on her, especially in the first pic above, makes her look too thin when slim fit doesn't.

Oof a bit too much leather of Sophie here. Is she joining the Windsor chapter of the Hells Angels?

CPM looks gorgeous!
KM... meh... another trouser suit. The only one of them that I've liked was the dark green one. Two many brassy buttons on this one and the flared trousers don't look great. I really like her latest hair cut though!

Maireas · 03/10/2023 18:37

Sophie likes a bit of leather, but I'm not keen. I think it's a bit much, quite a heavy look.

Sophie would have looked lovely if the top half was a a chunky high or roll necked oatmeal jumper, though probably too casual for the event.

PhilMitchellsleatherbomber · 03/10/2023 18:43

This sort of look

KillingMeDeftly · 03/10/2023 18:53

I think just one of the leather items would've looked good but not all of them together.

SenecaFallsRedux · 03/10/2023 19:16

Oh, Sophie. But the fashion powers that be (in the US at least) have declared double denim to be quite the thing this fall, so perhaps double leather is not far behind.

Maireas · 03/10/2023 19:31

Yes, that works well, @PhilMitchellsleatherbomber

Let it be said, for the record, that I think gold buttons wreck an otherwise amazing outfit.

Kate and I disagree clearly, but I'm sure she'll come round to my thinking after a couple of Cosmopolitans.

Arf at Sophie the Hell's Angel. Too much leather enters the DFS sofa sale territory. And that is waaaaay to much leather.

Much as I truly love America 🇺🇸 I cannot and will not get behind Billy Ray on that one.

Agree! MM would have styled that skirt with bottle green either silk shirt or cashmere jumper tucked in.

DFS sofa sale has me 😭

Love Kate's smart pinstripe - she's looking fab.
Arf at Sophie's Hell's Angel's outfit!😂
Honestly, what is she thinking, it's all a bit '90's. Agree that it would look lovely with the boots, leather skirt and a chunky jumper.

gluenotsoup · 04/10/2023 08:55

I like Kate’s outfit there, not so keen on the double lapels but she looks great, beautiful hair as always.
I agree the leather is too much. The cashmere jumper or the photo idea would have worked well, otherwise it’s not working for me. Nice boots though.

LadyEloise1 · 04/10/2023 09:00

Kate looks great.
Gosh those heels 😮 but love the navy.

Sophie what were you thinking !!!!

voilà

Catching up on posts but what is going on with Fred's trousers? They're about 6 inches too long, not too mention that it looks as though he's put the wrong pair on - it looks like a separate uniform to the top half! I'm a committed Fred Fan and am on board with the whole dishevelment thing, but his tailor needs to up his game!

Gooseysgirl · 04/10/2023 13:16

Oh yes.... I like! A lot!!!! This is what I want to see more of 🥰

locketrocket · 04/10/2023 13:20

Agree @Gooseysgirl love that look.

Quite versatile too.. slim/cigarette pants would work just as well with the top half. Maybe with a finer knit, iyswim.

Serenster · 04/10/2023 13:20

Yes, Gooseysgirl, I love this look a lot - was eyeing up the Cefinn vests she is wearing here just last night in fact! A very modern look, perfect for the engagement.
