I absolutely love Mary's red dress. She looks amazing in it.

themessygarden · 22/10/2024 06:53

That red gown is stunning. wonder who the designer is? I love the blue outfit too, really classy.

Edited to add, I really dislike those headbands though.

PoppySeedBagelRedux · 22/10/2024 08:30

I read that Mary's red gown is by Carolina Herrara. I like all of the evening gowns.

A rather lovely throwback photo.

Who is it and when was it taken? The lady on the right looks like it could be Sofia of Spain so presumably the other is... Anne Marie of Greece?

Here's a photo of all the heads of state or their representatives in front of their respective flags. CPV and Haakon are on the fringes as not actual heads of state yet while King Fred is in the centre I guess because he has the title for life unlike elected heads of state.

We saw the Finnish First Lady in Norway last week didn't we? I think someone said she was British.

In homage to the title, heres a link to the Bhutani family visit to Australia. They are such a good looking family. Though dad is begining to look a bit like Elvis!

Yes to each of those!

According to an expert the portrait bracelet is actually of Duchess Augusta Amalie of Leuchtenberg, mother of Queen Josephine mentioned previously.

AllTangledUpInTinselAndTiaras · 22/10/2024 12:23

A closer look.

A closer look at Mary's new gown. I like it a lot. And a better photo of the earlier outfit which I also really like.

Victoria's velvet gown is gorgeous. If purple were my colour I'd love one like it!

I think someone said on the previous thread that Mary's red dress looked like a jumpsuit - which would have been a-maz-ing.
Still gorgeous as a dress though.

Thanks for the new thread 😊

*Auguste, that is. I can't stand this autocorrect that constantly messes with what I write!!

RomainingToBeSeen · 22/10/2024 14:05

It appears that Charles and Camilla are sharing one pair of sunglasses between them in Australia!

(My grandparents used to do that - all of their glasses were communal!).

A rather lovely throwback photo.

Sofia's hairstyle has barely changed in nearly 60 years!

AllTangledUpInTinselAndTiaras · 22/10/2024 14:19

Yes she picked something and stuck to it!

I wonder why Sonam is the only one who isn't wearing a traditional outfit? Maybe Jetsun is a fan of how Charlotte dresses!

Thank you for the new thread!

Funny about C&C's one pair of sunnies.

On the BBC evening news there were shots of C and C both wearing sunnies in the same shot so there were two pairs. Looked quite similar in style but hers had pale blue frames and his were beige.

Yea I saw that too. I think they were playing with us pretending they only had one pair between them 😆
