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

I feel that with the Johanna Oritz dresses, they’re all too tight around the bust and it makes it look too small for her even though it seems to fit everywhere else.

Serenster · 16/08/2024 06:57

This latest Joanna Ortiz dress is my favourite of the three she has worn - I love the pattern.

Serenster · 16/08/2024 07:04

Less of a fan of this outfit though as the metallic copper trousers and the brown blouse don’t work together to my eyes? The shoes are too yellow to look good with the combo too.

It's nice to see Meghan in stronger colours and I like her hair in a ponytail. The trousers are a nice colour - maybe with a different colour blouse?

The trousers are a gorgeous shade! Tricky to match though.

Maireas · 16/08/2024 07:16

Would a cream blouse be a little dull? Pale green?

I love the slightly chunkier-heeled shoe.

Yes, I do too. It's definitely a more modern look. I think we've seen so many spike heeled stiletto shoes on royal ladies, it's nice to have a change!

Cream or black would be safe choices. Pale green (Blake Lively at the Met Gala!) a muted blue or navy look great with copper, but are bolder choices

Maireas · 16/08/2024 07:26

Navy would look great!

I like the high ponytail, very flattering.

hopeishere · 16/08/2024 07:42

I liked then first outfit but not the black shoes or the white bag.

The second outfit I agree is a bit teatowel. I loved it in the gold versions she wore though.

I hate the third. But I don't like that colour, the big pointy collar and that oversized look in general.

Three outfits in one day is a bit mad. I gather they have a single reporter from Harpers with them (presumably for flattering reports and possible label mentions / subtle promo). The whole non royal royal trip thing I do find a bit bonkers.

Yes, it's a softer look than the tight bun.

That many outfits makes it all about the clothes. Surely H should have changed as many times as M or it looks odd.

Hate the dresses. Love the copper trousers and the black Aquuzurro. I think a cream top would have been beautiful. I also love the first outfit she wore but think that tan accessories would have been so much nicer with the navy

Serenster · 16/08/2024 08:16

He did! Three different outfits too (well, it could just be a different shirt, same suit in two of them). Just less memorable 😀

I wonder what the President and her husband were doing while Meghan and Harry got changed and had Meghan’s hair re-styled between their first and second activities?

@banivani !!! So lovely to see you.
I’ve been HOLDING MY TONGUE about the Norwegian crisis situation for fear of gossiping but also periodically checking to see if anyone else had mentioned it. dines t seem to have been the first time Marius has found himself in a spot of bother. Psychologists would have a FIELD DAY with that family set up.

His statement said he’s had MH issues for years. I think he used to officially be part of the royal family and was on their website and would appear on ceremonial occasions etc but about 10 or so years ago there was an announcement that he’d be a private citizen from then onwards. I assumed that was due to going to university but maybe there were other factors at play.

@banivani you were MIA for ages! Good to see you pop up in here again.

Eaumyword · 16/08/2024 08:37

Her ponytail looks very chic and suits her very well. Really like that look.
The copper shirt/trousers jar for me. Both individual pieces are lovely but the colours together don't quite go and the textures being different aren't great either.
It does seem that the tour is all about clothes self!) promo! If I was the Pres, I'd be hitting the lunch buffet hard while they were playing dress up!😂

I have no idea what's going on here, so I'm going to need to look it up!
Yes, to @banivani joining us again! 👍

I really like the ponytail look. I wonder how long the re-styles took out of the day 🤔😆

I thought the copper trouser outfit was a jumpsuit or co-ords when I first saw it when she was sitting down. It’s a shame it doesn’t match as I really like the colour of the trousers. I think she could have got away with a cobalt blue top with that copper and that sort of bright colour really suits her

PrettyFlyforaMaiTai · 16/08/2024 08:44

Oh no, sweat stains. Around the crotch too. Eeek. I suppose this is why there’s so much consideration for materials in hotter climates.

That's a shame - it's the fabric. Also the waist doesn't sit right.

MM’s son Marius has been arrested for assaulting his girlfriend while under the influence.

Would Megan's otfit have been better with a shiny top and matt trousers?
I assume they have time to freshen up built into schedules?
