I do not like the tartan dress on Beatrice nor Pippas' trouser suit. Kate just looks exquisite from head to toe.

Off topic, but considering there are no matching colours this year, I think it is safe to say last years burgundy fest was a definite nose thumb to comments about a so called 'colour etiquette.'

MotherofPearl · 08/12/2023 18:07

I love Pippa's suit.

I can see that Kate looks very striking and beautiful, but I'm going to part company with all of you to say I really don't like that outfit. I don't like the monochrome look, I loathe white heels, and the gold buttons on those trousers are awful. Sorry. Blush

mrsmingleton · 08/12/2023 18:15

Her shoes aren't white though - they look like an ivory or pearl colour. Maybe suede even?

Vitriolinsanity · 08/12/2023 18:17

As soon as I saw it the gold buttons did my head in.

Would have benefited from a wide, natural suede belt.

The rest I liked as an ensemble, but the individual pieces didn't gel.

Pippa'd trousers and shoes were all wrong.

B get over tartan mate.

Sarah Chatto nailed it as ever. I bet there was a little pearl button cashmere cardi under her coat.

All kid's adorable.

I've been saying the same for a long time, on here and off.

Show quote history

Me too.

On tonight's outfits (from what I've seen so far):

Love Kate's - except for the gold buttons. Shoes aren't white so no probs for me.

Also love Pippa's suit, and her shoes. I'd wear that.

AllTangledUpInTitlesAndTiaras · 08/12/2023 18:19

Pippa's would have been perfect had her trousers been a little longer. But I still like it enough to wear it!

EmpressSisi · 08/12/2023 18:45

Is it just me or would you expect Catherine’s outfit is something that Meghan would wear?

EmpressSisi · 08/12/2023 19:09

Sorry I just had to put this up 🤣

Kate showing how all in white should be done. Lovely, rather angelic and a nice retro 70s vibe.

Not sure why you’ve posted the same comment on two different threads, but to repeat the answer I gave on the other thread, I think actually both Kate and Meghan are being influenced by Victoria Beckham here!

Or it's just fashion?

ChimneyPot · 08/12/2023 20:32

Does Kate have a coat dress very like the one Beatrice is wearing?

DuchessOfPort · 08/12/2023 20:33

I slightly wish the King and Queen had been there - they were very sweet with the children, but they have been Christmassing to the max this week so fair enough!

Pandaandpurple · 08/12/2023 20:33

Loving Pippa’s outfit and Louis’ boots this evening! (Hello all by the way 👋)

I think it is her event and for them to attend would overshadow that?

RockaLock · 08/12/2023 21:06

To me it looks as though Charlotte has totally encouraged Louis to blow her candle out!

iknowimcoming · 08/12/2023 21:11

I don't know if it's a weird camera angle or maybe just me but I didn't recognise Carole M at all in this photo!

Sorry this!

I'd never have recognised her either. Flash photography perhaps

Bee Gees?

I'll get me coat 🤭

AllTangledUpInTitlesAndTiaras · 08/12/2023 21:48

I think Carole's face has filled out a bit that's all.

locketrocket · 08/12/2023 21:56

Evening all 👋🏻

Eaumyword · 08/12/2023 22:03

Kate looks absolutely stunning in her winter white outfit. Every bit the princess, including the swishy hair! I really think she is glowing at the moment and has hit her style groove.
Love Bea's hair and makeup, but not so keen on her retro tartan.
Love Pippa's trouser suit.
I like Carole's velvet trousers, very wearable and stylish, but not keen on the jacket she's paired with them.
The children all look really sweet!

DuchessOfPort · 08/12/2023 22:27

there must have been a better photo of the Middleton parents than that. Blimey. He’s captured all wrong too.
