That's brilliant! I loved the little dogs embroidered on her Coronation gown too. I like that she's having fun with rotating the jewels and now with her clothes too.

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

I think that's yet other me+em dress, isn't it?

They really are the label of the moment for royals and politicians!

Maireas · 10/07/2024 18:22

Goodness, they are!

Zara’s/Mary’s was a me+em dress, according to the Mail. Not sure about Harriet’s.
The Middletons were at Wimbledon too.
Meanwhile Leonor and Sofia carried out a joint engagement.

Carole's dress is lovely, that's a nice print, but I'm not sure about the accessories. Leonor and Sofia usually look good, but I think the proportions of Sofia's dress are a bit off. I like Leonor's green jacket.

Carole’s bag and shoes tone nicely, it’s the jacket that doesn’t quite work imo

Agree, it's a pretty dress and the shoes are fine - it needed a white jacket I'd think.

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

I think its full crown because its the beginning of the 5 year term. I do remember HMTLQ trolling the Brexit supporter when she turned up looking like the EU flag heh heh.

I got the date wrong. Its next Wednesday. Not sure if I picked up the date up wrong or if there was a clash because the PM was at the NATO conference.

Tarragon123 · 10/07/2024 20:24

Loving all the Wimbledon dresses. I think Bea's was my favourite.

It’s always the Imperial State crown at the State opening of parliament and that is every year, not just after an election or every 5 years. The King Edward crown is only ever used at the coronation. But the Imperial State crown is heavy. The Queen “took it with her”on a cushion in her later years

Ah! Thank you! Is that when the LQ dressed up at the EU flag?

Funnily enough, TRH's are at the Welsh Senedd today to celebrate the 25th anniversary. He's looking well and easily speaking in English and Welsh. I think QC is wearing pale pink but its difficult to tell.

Camilla’s dress was another Anna Valentine.
The Swedish royals released a photo to wish everyone a happy summer.

Sweet! Carl Philip seems to favour tight shorts, though 😳

I took a Quick Look at the photo and I thought he was in his underwear 😵‍💫😂

Hey if CP wants to wear tight shorts then far be it from me to stop him…

Meghan and Serena Williams at the ESPY awards. I think she looks great - the white gown is reminiscent of her second wedding dress.

I like that shape of dress on Meghan. It really suits her. I wish she would stop wearing such bland colours though. I mean, actual white is better than the sort of weird fleshy tones she has been favouring but it’s still fairly boring. I thought we were over the stealth wealth thing and if you look better in colour, wear some

Eaumyword · 12/07/2024 08:36

Leti and fam look absolutely gorgeous.
Serena Williams looks fabulous but I can't decide whether her dress is mermaid-y or reminiscent of meat or blood vessels 😲
