Royal Style: silk, stomachers, sapphires and plenty of sass

[Maireas]

New thread!

Beautiful card from Monaco.
love the red dress - it’s not quite red, a bit brown/black undertones are just taking the red edge off it, which I really like, it’s a bit more subtle than red red.
Tired today hopefully that make senses

I thought that too @gluenotsoup like an old gold, bronze hue to it. Lovely though.
Sorry you're so tired. Try and rest up and have a nice relaxing evening.

😆💐@Eaumyword - thank you! If dd sleeps properly tonight then hopefully I will too🥱

Love Charlene in the rust-coloured dress

Leti and Felipe on a joint engagement today.

Oh I love Leti's outfit.

I love red at Christmas time.

Some pictures of Leonor taken by paparazzi. I like her informal style and I love her hair.

Love Leti in red!

Oh to look that effortlessly cool like Leonor - she even has swishy princessy hair!

Sophie and Edward have new lovely portraits. They are both in navy velvet and look really nice. I will try and find pictures.

I don't like the one of Sophie - the hair colour is wrong and she is prettier than in that portrait.

I like the portraits.

I think she looks lovely but they have done something with the direction of the light to get her back in, iyswim, with Edward the light is all coming front, the way he is facing.

I love the clothes in the portraits (obviously key to this thread) but I would barely have guessed that is Sophie!

Edward looks like his Dad in that and I like it. Sophie - it's not flattering. She is much softer in the face than that but I LOVE that dress!

Lovely portrait but you're right Sophie is in too much shadow

I think they have a 1930s feel.

Are these genuine? I'm not so sure....

Can anyone post a photo please as I don’t have instagram TIA

This one

Thank you so much! They look so different
love Sophie’s dress!

My gosh. That only bears a passing resemblance to them 😲
The velvet dress is gorgeous.

I think it's a good likeness of Edward. Sophie is missing the warmth I associate with her.
