It had to be Rimmel Heather Shimmer or if you felt particularly jazzy, Twilight Teaser - sort of metallic purply blue. God I loved the '80's.
But not enough to bring the fashion back 😆

Ski pants!!! Well, hello 1985! I had a peach pair 😂

Me too. I realise now they would have had the looks like you aren't wearing any trousers thing happening to people who are more 10 meters away 😳

I wore my stirrup pants in the 80s with a body, an oversized lumberjack shirt, a poodle perm and Sweet Sizzle lipstick. There may have been blue mascara.

I'm not sure I'll be resurrecting that look any time soon.

I don't recall stirrup pants in the eighties but remember everything else.

My mother wore them in the 60s though.

I've got the MV Nura pearl necklace as well 🙂 but I've got the darker pearl.

Here's a lovely photo of the two best members of the Danish Royal Household, taken by the Queen.

Gorgeous photo! They are very photogenic and Autumnal colours too!

So pleased that the Princess of Wales will be hosting the Christmas carol service again next month. I'm sure she will look stunning whatever she wears.

Here's Max looking very glam at a museum event. Her hair looks great too, so I suspect it's been done by a hairdresser and at other times she does it herself. I thought the dress had some sort of long and floaty train but no, that's just her unveiling a new sculpture!

Max looks stunning there, and her hair is gorgeous! The dress is such a muted pastel, but the sequins totally bling it up!
Madeleine looks different, I didn't recognise her. The green dress is lovely.

Is Madeline’s dress not quite lying right? Is the sash bits not supposed to go over each boob? She looks lovely though

Maireas · 16/11/2024 12:27

Yes, @QueryA - I think it's not quite sitting right. She's very attractive, she puts me in mind of Rania, a little bit.

She doesn't look like herself anymore, really...I think probably subtle work and possibly also injections of some kind for weight loss.

The dress is lovely - slight mishap aside - I love the colour, and she does sparkle very well. She does look great!

QueryA · 16/11/2024 13:53

Meghan at an event. Can’t really see the outfit. At least the trousers aren’t too long, unlike the lady beside her.

QueryA · 16/11/2024 13:54

This time with photo

Madeleine looks like herself from the front but not from the side, to me.

She is one of the most competent tiara-wearers de nos jours. They just look entirely normal on her.

Lunde · 16/11/2024 22:18

I think Madeleine has had some work done that has changed the shape of her eyes and jaw - I saw this picture in the Swedish press

Eaumyword · 16/11/2024 22:21

Max looks va va voom!
I like the outfit of the lady next to Meghan except for the too long trousers - just why?!

KillingMeDeftIy · 16/11/2024 23:43

I don't think they are trousers. Isn't she wearing a dress?

EverybodyLovesString · 17/11/2024 07:50

Meghan's trousers look a good length for her. She always looks so much better when she doesn't have fabric pooling around her feet.

AllTangledUpInTinselAndTiaras · 17/11/2024 08:02

It's definitely separates - she's wearing a bustier top. But no idea if it's skirt or trousers.

AllTangledUpInTinselAndTiaras · 17/11/2024 08:13

Not fashion related, necessarily, but an interesting royal development in the Danish household: Fred and Mary have announced that they will no longer award the Royal Appointment Warranty, with no new awards at all, and current holders being phased out by 2030.

AllTangledUpInTinselAndTiaras · 17/11/2024 08:14

Looking at Meghan's photo again I'm pretty sure she's wearing trousers. Well done to her for choosing a sensible length!

KillingMeDeftIy · 17/11/2024 09:02

I was referring to the lady in red's outfit, in response to Eaumyword. Not Meghan, who is clearly wearing trousers!

AllTangledUpInTinselAndTiaras · 17/11/2024 09:03

Ah sorry! That makes much more sense. 😁
