Welcome to the new thread.
Espadrilles in the cupboard, folks.

Late to the party, but Camilla looked great in everything she wore. The navy was my favourite, probably because she paired a Darth Vader cape with those gorgeous sapphires - style goals!

Loved Rania's look.

Kate looks good in her boot leg jeans. I bought some last year and re embraced my 90s teen days. Oh and I love a scrunchie.

New to the forum, it's a lot of fun.

I've genuinely liked Camilla's outfits in France. She looked really good. I'm not impressed with Mrs Macron, her outfits are predictable and looked awful in the black pants and oversized red coat. She also should do something about her hair, I don't know if it's a wig but having such big hair overwhelming her face and body, does nothing for her.

Letizia's dress was a bit boring but looked good as usual, same as Meghan. I rarely can't fault what Meghan wears.

It must be a wig, surely. Not many 70 year olds have thick hair like that.

Maireas · 23/09/2023 16:39

Loads of people in my family have thick hair - well beyond 70! My aunt had a fabulous head of thick hair until she died at 98. Ageing doesn't necessarily mean thinning hair.

Plus, Camilla is 75. Great hair.

I’m the same age as Mme. Macron (well, three months younger) and my hair is as thick as (and longer than) hers. Jill Biden is another 70-something with plenty of hair.

Rania out and about in New York. I love this outfit - even down to the co-ordination between her watch strap and her bag. You can’t see the shoes very well, but they are a gorgeous pair of Dior pumps that she wears a lot.

It’s very Carrie circa SATC

MrsLeonFarrell · 23/09/2023 18:14

I'm coming to the conclusion that Meghan buys clothes on the basis of what they look like on the model rather than what suits her body shape. That cloak is drowning her and recently many of her dresses are too long for her height.

hopeishere · 23/09/2023 18:25

I actually don't mind the cape on Meghan!

Eaumyword · 23/09/2023 18:28

Ooh, Kate looks great in her boot cut jeans&trainers. Agree that looks like a non authorised photo, bless her.
Rania looks blerdy amazing in her tailored waistcoat and trousers. YY to Carrie in SATC - one of my fave looks on her.
I like Meghan's cape but I'm a cape fan. Very county!

Aghhh, I am always the odd one out here 😳, I don't like that cape/poncho at all, it looks like a picnic blanket that you fold back up small, using velcro straps to turn it into a bag.

I take it ALL back, just saw more photos and I think its FAB.

DisforDarkChocolate · 23/09/2023 19:01

Ok fellow cape lovers, any shopping suggestions that are reasonably priced? I'm very much a sale shopper.

colourwheelofortune · 23/09/2023 19:23

I just hate that dog tooth check dress on Kate. Normally she looks so stylish, but the high frumpy neck, the mid calf length and the nothingness of the shape. A big no from me.

I just wish Kate would go on the knee or just below, or have some fit and flare going on these days. She's very slender and this look just makes her look very shapeless. It looked like something even my gran would balk at.

I did like Meghan's poncho though, very appropriate and stylish.

PS. I'm not a meghan fan by any means, but call it as I see it.

As ever, Meghan's taste in shoes can't be faulted. The Manolos she wore with the cape are gorgeous, if vertiginous!

I think Mme Macron has some fake hair - as do many royals and celebs. For example Kate and Princess Sofia (in the photo above).

SenecaFallsRedux · 23/09/2023 20:36

The style I like is actually a ruana. Very easy to throw on and off in the vagaries of US Deep South fall and winter. My Black Watch one is similar to this:

I would love to have one in @LadyEloise1's family tartan. The more green the better.

And wear it where ? 😂😂😂

The Ploughing.😂

Wear my cape to the Ploughing !
J*sus @CliffsofMohair shure the ends of it would be destroyed with all the mud last week.

😁😁😁 @LadyEloise1

EBG seems to be linking in with other countries to target bullying in schools. Pictured here next to Gabriel Attal, French minister for education. I have no clue who the man in the red trousers is.

I like Meghan's coat (is it a Cape?), even her forearms are polished looking! I'd like it in a different colour (and price!) for myself.

Maireas · 24/09/2023 10:06

The red trousers are quite striking.
CPM - nice look overall, the loose trousers debate continues. I would say that these work because the fabric is quite soft and doesn't swamp her. I think sometimes the bagginess is overwhelming. When I was a lass we called this style Oxford Bags.

I like them on her too. Lovely shade also.

KillingMeDeftly · 24/09/2023 10:18

I could see Meghan wearing that cape in cooler weather with elbow-length gloves. She wore a pair to HMQ's funeral with a capes dress and it was a very elegant look.

Vinted is your friend. They are perfect for WFH and you need to look like you've made effort while keeping warm.
Bought one last year to try out and currently looking for more. May need to search for poncho then filter out 😊
