I can’t stand her love of sheer back tights. It ruins most things she wears…

It’s called Flora & Fern: Wonder In The Woods apparently.

Much as I'd quite like a Camilla pinafore those Fiona Clare dresses start at £3500 so I may have to look elsewhere.

And yes, love Fergie but hate everything about that outfit.

Eaumyword · 05/12/2024 21:50

I think Leti looks really stylish.
Fergie. Oh my word, a hot mess. Nothing works together. Love a velvet blazer and the green colour is gorgeous. But, it's too tight and double breasted isn't flattering on her. The skirt looks strange with it and the tights and trainers are really eccentric!
She's got a nice figure and would look fab in more muted outfits. I think she's a bit stuck in the '80's as her personal 'heyday' and her style has never moved on from then.

Lunde · 05/12/2024 22:07

Gosh the bulky jacket and trainer look does Fergie no favours

SqueakyDinosaur · 05/12/2024 22:32

I think she's also very wedded to the idea that she has Good Legs and should therefore show them off. But sadly short skirts don't really work these days the way she wears them.

Camilla is 12 years older than Fergie but looks far more stylish and modern. Fergie seems to have just pulled a few garments out of the back of her wardrobe that fitted her when she was a size smaller and not thought about how they look on her now.

She may struggle with heels these days but there are more elegant options than those trainers as Leti was showing all summer when she had her foot problems.

Camilla has never been high fashion but chooses traditional and classic styles that suit her whereas Fergie seems stuck in the 80s with styles that might have been cute on her 20-something self but don't suit or fit her in her mid 60s.

I think you're right.

She has managed to make herself look
like an extra from a St Trinians film! I think it’s the short, skater style that she favours that has this effect. She’d look better in a (properly fitting) knee length pencil skirt. And not jet black sheer tights. Something browny black looks better. Black tights can make your legs look purple

I know this is all about being kind but I can't understand why some people in the public eye, with money and stylists look so wrong.

Serenster · 06/12/2024 09:37

Sarah was styled for some recent appearances in the South of France and she looked amazing, properly transformative. Whoever she worked with there was worth the money.

Harassedevictee · 06/12/2024 10:48

@Serenster spot on.

If you can afford it, a stylist, hairdresser and seamstress to fit ready to wear are worth so much.

Some photos of Catherine at the Christmas carol service.

No doubt there will be more lovely pics when the rest of the family join her later. Wonder if there will be a set colour scheme this year? Louis in red tartan trews?

Maireas · 06/12/2024 17:22

I think Louis should do a riff on his drum kit.

I remember looking with some trepidation as he held his lit candle last year. I suspect that there are plenty of fire extinguishers hidden at strategic points.

RomainingToBeSeen · 06/12/2024 17:31

All coordinated in red/burgundy. Can't believe how grown up Louis suddenly looks with George.

Beatrice looks stunning and I love Zara’s outfit

Oh, I love Zara's velvet suit!
It's nice that Beatrice and Edo take Wolfie along.

YourAmusedQuoter · 06/12/2024 17:50

Have any of the Middleton clan been spotted yet?

KillingMeDeftIy · 06/12/2024 17:51

Beatrice looks great - love the colour of her coat, lipstick and velvet shoes.

Kate's coat is a big no for me - that black bow is awful. I'd rather wear Charlotte's coat!
