Morning! I'm starting a new thread before I go to work as it may get filled before this evening.

Sorry to disagree @MotherofPearl. I don't like the blue dress on Leti.
I don't like that style and I think that the colour isn't great on her.
What colour would you say Camilla's dress is ?

Eaumyword · 01/02/2024 09:11

I do like Leti's blue dress 👍

No need to be sorry - we all have different taste!

I think Camilla's dress is somewhere in between grey and duck egg blue.

Let's dress reminds me of the robe of a lingerie set. Katherine Hepburn etc used to wear in those B&W movies. I always think how glamorous they were

PolliFlinders · 01/02/2024 13:53

Love Leti's dress. Not so keen on Camil!a's

Papergirl1968 · 01/02/2024 22:11

Camilla, Max, Leti and Beatrice today.
Beatrice’s look is apparently called granny chic…
Not keen on Max’s either.
Thumbs up for Camilla and Leti though, although some may think they’re a bit safe and boring.

chesterelly1 · 01/02/2024 22:16

I wore a similar outfit to Bea the other day. Had grey trousers on instead of skirt. DH asked if I was off to solve a cold case a la Karen Pirie and DD told me I was going to miss the bell.Confused
Like Leti's look today, Max's not so much.

Maireas · 01/02/2024 22:19

Beatrice: no. No. No.
A heavy, grey pleated skirt with a grey tank top and a white shirt? Not flattering.
She's been looking really good lately, I know that she has a really expensive stylist - it's just not worked on this occasion.

That's a re-wear for Leti, nice look. I think the trouser suit looks fine on Max, and I like how loyal she is to the House of Orange.

She doesn't look well

Can’t resist posting Keti and Felipe’s last official portrait too although it’s a few years old. Apparently a new one has been commissioned to mark their 20th wedding anniversary.
I’m on the fence about the dress. I like the appliqué but not the sleeve length and it’s a bit Barbie pink.

Looks like a private school uniform

Don't like the dress, love the tiara 😍

The Mail mixing Max up with Mary.

that’s some literal dressing there from the House of Orange

I wouldn’t mind being compared to Karen Pirie - love a bit of preppy chic!

She didn't look well at Christmas. Very wan

Beatrice is wearing my school uniform. I couldn't wear grey for decades afterwards 😂

eggandonion · 01/02/2024 23:12

Poor York women must be feeling very stressed.
It is also my school uniform.

QueryA · 01/02/2024 23:21

The Swedish royal family hosted the French president and his wife the other night. I love tiaras but the cameo and the steel one are not my favorites out of the Swedish collection I’m afraid. Though I do like princess sofia’s. Not keen on any of the dresses. And I know they are prestigious but the royal ladies must detest the sashes and orders and ribboned broaches. Destroy the look of any dress!

it won’t let me add the photos. Here is the link, bottom of the page https://www.thecourtjeweller.com/2024/01/glittering-french-state-visit-tiaras-in-stockholm.html#more-53076

Glittering French State Visit Tiaras in Stockholm

The royal tiaras were sparkling tonight in Stockholm, because the President and First Lady of France have begun their state visit to Sweden! Here's a look at the jewels we saw for the formal ceremonies

Mine was navy, so I didn’t wear anything navy for decades!

CliffsofMohair · 02/02/2024 06:17

Queen Silvia going literal in her beret. Not a fan of the tiara though.

love CPV’s tiara. Very 20s.

those orders pinned everywhere remind me of the birthday girl at a party wearing all the ‘I am 7’ badges from all the cards they received.

@Maireas has the Napoleonic cut steel tiara found a home ? Any claimants?

Yes, they certainly go all out for the orders, don't they?

I'm not sure about Mme Macron's dress, perhaps it's the fit? She suits white, though.

I meant Brigitte's evening dress - the coat is nice.
