Those burgundy boots are fabulous, love them.

AllTangledUpInTinselAndTiaras · 05/12/2024 08:39

Yes they're perfect. I'd love them if only I could still wear those heels! I sometimes wish I didn't care so much about health and comfort. 😁

Princess Marie has been out and about in a very festive looking suit.

Princess Josephine has appeared in an episode of the Television Advent Calendar show broadcast every year.

Meghan at the Paley Honors Gala in tribute to Tyler Perry.

Ignoring the awkward background 🤣🤦🏼‍♀️ It’s one of my favourite recent looks for her. Nice simple design, fits relatively well and none of the usual creases or wrinkles we see in her outfits. I would say it’s bordering on boring but overall lovely and elegant. I love the simple hair and make up too. I’m not sure about the strappy heels though, her toes are in danger of sticking out and look uncomfortable, plus the strappy shoe look is becoming very dated. A nice court shoe would have looked lovely here.

I remember Angelina Jolie wearing a dress like Meghan's years ago. It's a classic style.

Oscar de la renta and Marquesa IMO knock it out of the park glamour wise

Serenster · 05/12/2024 11:20

Yes, it’s a great look on Meghan - one of her best.

KnickerlessParsons · 05/12/2024 12:15

The dress is a bit long though - it looks like it's trailing on the ground.

Is she using the back entrance to the do? And if so, why?

I think she left by the back exit. The “French exit” seems to be her thing of late 😆

I agree that the dress looks good on her, if a little long. She definitely suits more classic styles. And hallelujah, no creases

According to Hello, Princess Anne's dress from the banquet this week is 40 years old, and dates back to when she was 35!

KillingMeDeftIy · 05/12/2024 14:25

Hmm, I think that dress should've been left in the 80s!

Oh I agree. But I do think it's pretty impressive to fit into clothes at 74 that you wore at 35.

Maireas · 05/12/2024 16:23

Love the necklace 😍.
Meghan is looking good here, definitely a good look for her.

I notice Meghan often goes without a bag especially in the evenings.

Sidebeforeself · 05/12/2024 16:47

Or isn’t photographed with one

Harassedevictee · 05/12/2024 17:53

Meghan kept the jewellery really pared back, just the necklace and Cartier bracelet and her rings. No watch or earrings, which I think suited the dress. I’m not a fan of the split but there are photos where you can’t see the split and it looks really classic.

Fergie reading her new children’s book at a primary school, Leti at a journalism award ceremony and Camilla at the 50th Women’s Aid anniversary.

I'm not keen on Fergie's look. Cams seems to be going down the pinafore route, it looks nice.
I like Leti's dress.

OP posts:
LivelyBlake · 05/12/2024 20:08

I think Letizia's dress is awful. What's with the neckline? plus there's a lot of fabric around the bust. The length is not flattering and the colour washes her out.

Maireas · 05/12/2024 20:12

I like it! I love the asymmetrical neck, and the unusual cut. The fabric looks interesting.

MotherofPearl · 05/12/2024 20:31

I like Leti's dress. Not keen on Camilla's outfit I'm afraid; the blouse is a bit Bet Lynch. To be brutally honest I think Fergie's outfit is abominable.

Maireas · 05/12/2024 20:33

I genuinely can't imagine how she decided to go out in that.

T'was ever thus. And if she's an author, I'm....well .. the Queen!

justasking111 · 05/12/2024 20:50

Is there something wrong with Fergies feet. Her use of trainers is bizarre. Ditto too short blazers.
Camilla didn't Sophie wear a blouse like that recently. Leticia I do like the dress and fabric.

Runningupthecurtains · 05/12/2024 20:56

I take it Fergies new book isn't a bonkbuster if she's reading it at a primary school.

My thoughts exactly! Not a bodice ripper, I'm guessing!
