I think Meghan looks good in white. Not everyone can carry it off but she can, so why not?

Serena does indeed look fantastic in her mermaid scales dress!

I agree she looks good in white, it’s just that she looks equally as good if not better in a strong colour (the blue dress in the rain for example) and I just think it’s a bit dull that she always seems to wear white / beige / flesh neutral tones. And an evening frock is surely an excuse for a bit of colour occasionally. I like Leti and family in the neutral tones in the above photos, but they don’t dress like that all of the time so it looks fresh

Meghan and Serena both look beautiful. Meghan looks tiny! Even slimmer than normal

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 😲

I can't unsee the blood vessels now!

So pleased to see Princess Anne back to duty today at Hartpury University. Smart suit and nifty hat. No doubt a rewear but she does it so well.

That's great news, the media had her with one foot in the grave yesterday 🙄

I hope, for her sake that she doesn't rush back to full duty too soon. I'd rather a gradual transition with a full recovery. Actually I think the same about King Charles and Catherine.

Peter Phillips with his girlfriend watching William play polo, Pippa Middleton at Wimbledon, and Princess Anne at her first engagement since her accident.,

Meanwhile Leonor went to Portugal
for her first solo overseas engagement and Mary and Fred watched the changing of the guard at their summer home.

I don't like any of those outfits. Anne gets a pass due to frugality and the fact she probably hasn't felt like shopping recently but I bet those milkmaid sleeved floral things cost a pretty penny.

KillingMeDeftIy · 12/07/2024 18:49

Has Pippa lost weight? Not that she ever had any to lose but she looks tiny there!

Leonor looks very like her mother, especially in the red suit.

Maireas · 12/07/2024 18:50

Anne looks quite sharp in a strange, quasi Terry Boy way.
Pippa Middleton? Just no. The pattern, cut and colour are all wrong and do absolutely nothing for her. Peter Phillips' girlfriend looks fine, although I did prefer her previous dress.

Anne looks like Carmen Sandiego there! I hadn’t read any coverage which had her with one foot in the grave, but head injuries can be very serious, even if you feel ok initially - just look at poor Natasha Richardson.

Papergirl1968 · 12/07/2024 18:52

Pippa’s outfit looks like PJs to me.

DuchessOfPort · 12/07/2024 18:53

Anne’s outfit is a shocker - the lapels! The length of that jacket! It’s so fashionable for whenever it was made!

Pippa does look slimmer than usual. And I don’t like her jumpsuit either.

That jumpsuit doesn’t look very comfortable, and judging by the camel toe effect, it’ll be even more uncomfortable when she’s sitting down!

Oh dear, quite nasty bruising on Anne's face.

Princess Anne 'can't remember a single thing' about horse accident

Princess Anne, 73, who had a bruise under her left eye, was speaking as she returned to work with a visit to the Riding for the Disabled Association (RDA) National Championships.

Anne "looks a bit shook" as we'd say in our country.
She's a trooper.

Gosh I see what you mean about Pippa.

Peter Phillips girlfriend is wearing the style de la jour this summer - a Laura Ashley style flowery print c1985 on a pale background dress.

Oh Pippa's chest bones. She's a bit underweight.
Anne has had an awful shock which does show, she needs a good summer rest.

Meg seems to have lost too much quite a lot of weight.

I’m getting 1980’s Annie Lennox vibes 😆

Lifestooshort71 · 13/07/2024 08:32

Anne has reverted to type and put on the first things that fell off the hanger/out of the cupboard. She will be forgiven as she has a huge bruise (I'd still be in bed feeling pathetic) and we'd love her whatever she's wore. What a trooper!

RomainingToBeSeen · 13/07/2024 09:03

Princess Anne's scarf is apparently a vintage Gucci equestrian design of rosettes. Would love to know how long she's had it - it's so very her!!
