Evening all! Thanks to Tracy Beaker for the new title!
Roll on some bling and style, though it may be a while!

I always think Gabriella Kingston looks good, very simple. (and no doubt expensive) clothes. I expect being tall, slender, blonde and elegant helps (I am sadly none of these).

Mary has always been like that, very aware of herself and with one eye on the camera! Maybe Max and Leti exchange looks when she's around - "a year for celebrations for her 50th? Really??"

👏 😂 take a bow 🙇‍♀️ 👸

Happy news 😊

The Spanish royals are on holiday in Mallorca.
I’ve never seen Felipe look so casually dressed!

It looks like he's still wearing his suit trousers! I love Leti's dress, and Sofia's outfit.

Princess Anne rocking a bucket hat the Olympics

She and Mick Jagger seem to resemble each other more and more as they age.

Not sure about his shirt, looks like he’s borrowed one of his mum’s caftans!

😂I don't know who'd be more flattered by the comparison!

Naughty I know, glad I got away with that one.

Yes, it is a bit Queen Sofia in Mallorca....

It’s a linen shirt, Cuban-inspired (a reinterpretation of a “guayabera”) some Spanish/Mediterranean and South American men favour for the summer as supposedly it makes you feel cool. Cool as if not feeling hot and sweaty, as I associate them with old men, so usually not cool at all. There’s a comeback for sure, I’ve been seeing them in younger people, but I still think you are 70+ if you wear a guayabera. My dad does!

Leti looks fabulous in her halter neck dress. Absolutely gorg dress.
Less keen on Sophie's white dress, sadly a bit frumpy I think and I really don't like her shoes, although it is nice to see her at the Olympics.

The Princess definitely has less wrinkles 😆

Re tiaras I find these little accents on hair quite alluring

IMO a little sparkle in the hair can be very effective

Maireas · 06/08/2024 15:59

Thanks, @justasking111 - is that the Vladimir tiara often worn by the late Queen, I wonder? It looks like the same design, minus the precious drops. Grand Duchess Vladimir certainly liked to look bedecked! Probably a match for old Queen Mary!

SqueakyDinosaur · 06/08/2024 15:59

Is she Grand Duchess Vladimir as in the wonderful Vladimir tiara?

Maireas · 06/08/2024 16:08

That's my thinking, I'll look her up. That tiara certainly looks familiar.
