[Maireas]

Next thread, style mavens!

Some lovely pictures of Sophie and Edward in Nepal. Miss being able to post photos but there's a link here:

Those pearls are stunning although I'm unsure how wearable such a huge brooch is these days. Do people still pin them to hats?

TBH I don't think it's a bad thing to play down the idea that Kate is some sort of Disney princess.

I would also opt for dark clothing given the nature of the trip with primary school children who would be using art supplies.

Love the pictures of Sophie and Edward - like the white dress with the pink flowers but not sure about the jacket with it.

In royal baby news, the Swedes have just announced that Sofia had a girl this afternoon.

Thats lovely! Happy news! 💞

If I was kate I'd have worn something old and patterned around art!
Babies are the best, and bling weddings.

Here's the bride from today's 'royal' wedding. I'm not overly keen on her dress.

And here's more photos. I like how her veil looks there, and she's wearing Queen Anne-Marie's tiara.

Thanks, Deftly. I'm not keen on the zig zag design or the train, but the tiara and bouquet are beautiful.
Princess Benedickte looks lovely.

The dress looks sheer but I don't think it actually is?

No, it looks like it's lined in a nude fabric.

I think it’s a lovely dress for an evening function, but an odd choice for a wedding in a Greek Orthodox Church. Plus she’s wearing he same tiara as Nikolaos’ first wife did at their wedding. Slightly awkward! It’s not like there were no other options in the family.

We missed Mary's birthday! She released a photo with a white top.

We missed Mary's birthday! Surely not possible!

We need to set a reminder.

Oh glad we can post pics again.
Mary’s birthday photo and Leti on a visit to Murcia earlier in the week.

Mary looks nice, very serene. What's going on with Leti? Is that just a weird angle?

Only the one photo of Mary?!😉 She looks good though.
Big nope to Leti's outfit, the proportions look wrong.

Just one photo? Surely not! 😊

I'm not keen on the wedding dress above, it's a bit too 'net curtain' for me I'm afraid.

Giving ‘pint of Guinness’ there , Leti

Now this is described as a "Hugo Boss petal pink pantsuit" , although it does look more lilac in the pictures.
I'm not a huge fan of pastel trouser suits, but at least the trousers are a slim fit, which suits her better.

Letizia looks good, if a bit spring-like for February!

The earrings, though 😍

Camilla, and guests at a royal dinner - Victoria Beckham wearing one of her own creations, Donatella Versace and Helen Mirren - I like HM’s dress but not the hair and headband.
