Royal Style: Take the Tiaras out of The Vault! Sparkles aren't just for Christmas!

[Maireas]

Next thread, style mavens!

😂

Checking in! Looking forward to festive RS&B chat. Thanks as always @Maireas

I think I read that William and Kate were staying at their own home and bobbing in and out of Sandringham this year. Which is lovely for the children.

The Belgian Royals at their Carol concert. Princess Elisabeth looks stunning in that burgundy velvet dress.

She does look stunning. I think Mathilde could have done with the waist being a bit more nipped in but it's an interesting dress in a lovely colour.

Eleanore's dress would look nicer an inch or two longer but I guess the dress was not made to measure. It's a lovely Christmassy picture. Nice tree!

I really like the velvet dress!

The velvet is very Christmassy! Is it one of Mathilde's old dresses?

Mary at a Christmas concert. Unfortunately, dressing head to toe in this shade of green just makes me think Gumby!

Someone on the last thread asked about royal Christmas cards. This is the Wales’.

Thanks! That's nice - it looks like a still from that film they made.

Yes, I thought that, @Maireas

Sophie! Once again, get thyself down to Rigby and Pellers!

Love the burgundy dress and the silvery one as well.

I think that Mathilde's dress could have done with another fitting as the pleats don't seem to be sitting correctly (tbh it looks like one of my Christmas wrapping fails)

Velvet is fabulous at Christmas.

Mathilde looks great @RomainingToBeSeen

And more lovely velvet from CPV at the Swedish Academy tonight.

That's a gorgeous colour on her.

That's a beautiful dress.

Love CPV's burgundy dress

She wore a new necklace and earrings as well

I love the jewellery! A little understated and interesting.

That's lovely @Lunde. I'd definitely wear that, I wonder whether CPV would be kind enough to pass it on.

The royals must be delighted at getting new jewels. Instead of having to wear the same old great granny diamonds. I wonder how much being is languishing unloved.
I have a couple of inherited nasty vases, I have them hidden away.
That would be great telly, royal hideous unused stuff.

Victoria's necklace and earrings are at least 20 years old as she wore them to the Spanish royal wedding in 2004. Bulgari apparently.

There's a pic here of her wearing them with an orange dress at the wedding so they are very versatile. There is apparently also a ring.

Oh my, that 2004 outfit is the epitome of 2004!

Checking in after a very busy end of term. Thank you for the new thread @Maireas fab title!

Pretty much set for Christmas celebrations in our house, although it seems I may need another bottle of baileys as supplies are running low......whoopsie! I hope anyone celebrating is feeling festive, and send big unmumsnetty hugs to those in need.
