Eugenie at the Poppy Ball dinner, in a dramatic evening dress. I really like it! I think there is some kind of cape effect thing going on with the sleeves. And her up-do is lovely.

Love that caped dress. So interesting and so elegant. Brava Eug.

Eaumyword · 08/11/2024 20:07

I'm not keen on Eug's dress, but he'd hair and makeup is lovely and very pretty.

KillingMeDeftIy · 08/11/2024 21:21

Aren't cold-shoulder dresses a bit dated now? I don't think that style of sleeve is very flattering on Eugenie.

KillingMeDeftIy · 08/11/2024 21:22

I actually think she'd look great in the blue dress the woman next to her is wearing!

Where are her arms?

AllTangledUpInTinselAndTiaras · 09/11/2024 05:52

I love the dress itself and the colours/pattern, but the cold shoulder thing is a big no for me. She looks lovely though. Her arms are being held behind her back.

EverybodyLovesString · 09/11/2024 08:11

Eugenie's dress is very busy at the top with her shoulders out and whatever that cape arrangement is but the rest of the silhouette suits her and the pattern is nice. A simple sleeve would be more flattering.

smilesy · 09/11/2024 10:24

I am not a fan of the cold shoulder thing. It is not very flattering to many body shapes. You need a really toned, square shoulder. I have always been particularly baffled by roll kneck jumpers with a cold shoulder detail 🤔

Poor Camilla still rough they say. She has to be so careful with Charles and Catherine too. They really don't need a chest infection. My husband is a martyr to chest infections since he had pleurisy, so grandchildren have to stay away.

DuchessOfPort · 09/11/2024 14:29

I like Eug for switching it up - both of the York sisters ate quite open to different things aren’t they? The dress isn’t my cup of tea but her face and hair are great.

PrettyFlyforaMaiTai · 09/11/2024 19:18

William and Catherine at Royal Albert Hall Remembrance. Her hair 😍

Lovely to see her looking well and feeling up to two events. Hope she's building her strength up slowly.

Nice earrings!

Maireas · 09/11/2024 19:30

How lovely! Beautiful hair, and I'm glad she's feeling ok. Lovely pearl jewellery.

She looks great but thumbs down to the over-styled hair from me. Prefer a more natural look.

deeahgwitch · 09/11/2024 20:52

Great to see Kate looking well. Her hair is lush.
Is that a Chanel bag I see ?
Is she taking a leaf from Fergie's book with the semi sheer tights 😀

AllTangledUpInTinselAndTiaras · 09/11/2024 21:01

Semi-sheer black tights are very now apparently so she's on the button in fashion terms!

She looks fab and how nice to see that lovely, genuine smile.

Mary attended Copenhagen University's annual celebration/party/don't quite know what to call it.

That's a huge pearl pendant.

I wonder if Catherine hair has benefited from a break in the hairdryer, curling tongs routine

KillingMeDeftIy · 09/11/2024 21:53

Kate looks well and happy. Hard to see what her dress is like but I'm assuming just something fairly simple and black.

RomainingToBeSeen · 09/11/2024 22:13

I like Mary's green dress and Kate looks really well.

I went down a rather lovely pearl jewellery 'rabbit hole' this afternoon after reading another S&B thread that mentioned Mikimoto. Just need my lottery numbers to come good tonight.

Papergirl1968 · 09/11/2024 22:22

Kate’s hair looks very glossy. She’s wearing her engagement ring.
Anne, Sophie and the Duchess of Gloucester are there too.

Kate's pearl pendant is very similar to one I just got for my birthday. I am really enjoying wearing it although hers is more simply worn than I have been wearing mine. I have worn mine as part of two layered necklaces or a longer chain so it hangs to the stomach area. I also have a lovely paperclip necklace it goes on to give it a more modern look. I am really enjoying wearing it.

justasking111 · 10/11/2024 08:39

Sounds lovely Choux. I've always loved pearls as does one DIL. She wears them often as well. I'm really glad that they're fashionable again.

Maireas · 10/11/2024 11:44

Beautiful earrings. A little hat with a veil looks so chic.
