Royal Style and Beauty - Trooping on, through summer and beyond!

[Maireas]

Although the summer so far has been disappointing!
More style and beauty sharing and discussion, thank you to everyone who makes these threads so enjoyable! 🤩

Oh poor king having to go to state opening...isn't that full on crown day?
I suppose it is good manners to attend.

Oh I love Bea's dress. It's gorgeous.

Perfect! He really does!

Like all Windsor men, Freddie was good-looking for about 5 minutes in his youth

I think this sums up every single Windsor man, tbh.

I think Freddie still looked odd even in his modelling days.
And I’m not a fan of Myleene who comes across as “look at me!”

I really like Beatrice's dress - perfect Wimbledon summer dress if only the weather was behaving.

Sienna looks great, Myleene looks ridiculous.

Well we'll have to wait till next week for the state opening of parliament. That'll have mucked up the royal diary.

Well this is certainly a style departure for Albert! 😜

Sienna Miller

Sienna’s style here reminds me of Michelle Pfieffer’s wardrobe when she played Betty Ford in the First Ladies drama series. Michelle wore a plain green dress in the series that I thought that was quite similar in style to the dress worn by Sienna. Sienna looked fab.

The flowery dress worn by Beatrice is also similar to dressers worn by Michelle and Dakota Fanning from the same series.

The tv series is slow at times but I’ve found the Michelle’s portrayal as Betty Ford to be very good. Actually all three main actresses were good but I knew very little about Betty Ford (other than she’d been in rehab and then worked to set up the Betty Ford Clinic) so that’s probably why I found her so interesting. But the series does get a bit slow at times.

The series is worth watching for the wardrobes of the Eleanor Roosevelt, Betty Ford and Michelle Obama fashion eras.

Dakota and Michelle

I’d look like a stuffed couch in the flower dresses, and like curtains in the polka dotted one. My clothing has to be plain and plain.

Mary and Fred looking relaxed as they take up their summer residence in Southern Denmark. Love the hat, not wild about the print of the dress but the overall look is beautifully summery. Floaty florals seems to be the go to look for princesses this summer. Seems to be much warmer summer than the one I’m having.

😂

I agree @ArdMhaca - it's fleece tops and welly boots where I am. Anyway, lots of lovely pictures of Fred and Mary, and that's a nice summery outfit on her.

She did indeed look fab but it’s not a dress. There’s a bit of very toned tummy showing so it would be a difficult one for most of us to pull off 😆

Mary looks happy again. I do like the dress.

I know what you mean about the stuffed sofa. Beatrice paid £3669 for the dress 😲

I quite like B's dress though massively overpriced. A collar suits her as she seems to be a bit skinny round the neck and jawline atm. It's an old-fashioned summer dress like my mum wore in the 50s!

I like the outfit, it looks dreamy and relaxed. Fred and Mary opted for a break with tradition in that they were welcomed to Gråsten as per usual and then walked the route to their summer residence, Gråsten Palace.

"Beatrice paid £3669 for the dress."

Perhaps she didn't.

Perhaps she was loaned it.
Or rented it.

It certainly doesn't look like a £3669 dress.

The maddest money I ever saw spent on a dress was the Ralph and Russo £56,000 dress Meghan Markle wore in an engagement photo.

I missed that. I saw the other image of her in that dress too and I thought it was a band or belt around Sienna’s waist. My eyesight is not great. I think I might need new glasses.

I meant Mary's dress. Not sure on Beatrice's.

Zara still on a roll with looking amazing

That’s the same dress Mary is wearing upthread. I don’t like the blindingly white blazer or platform shoes though.

I really like Zara's dress, and handbag . Also the way she and Mike are toned together! Perhaps a cream blazer would have looked better.

Good spot @KillingMeDeftIy re the Zara/Mary dress.
It passed me by.

Here's Peter Phillips and his girlfriend Harriet Sperling. I really like her dress, the colour and the design.
