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

[Maireas]

Next thread, style mavens!

I like that dress on Maxima - the white decoration is teetering on the fine line of too much but falls on the right side of it for me.

Kate and William were in Wales today. She initially wore her often-seen long scarlet McQueen coat for a visit to Pontypridd market, and then replaced it with this nearly-20 year old Ralph Lauren jacket for a second engagement. Do we have a rival for Anne in the re-wearing stakes?

I do love the brown checked skirt, it’s lovely (Gucci, apparently, and also from her existing wardrobe)

She really is going through a brown phase. That jacket is very 2005.

I'm not keen on brown, plus I think it looks a bit autumnal. I prefer the first look with the coat.

I'm not a brown fan either, I need to see brighter colours in Spring.

It is quite autumnal I guess, and also a little county, but I do really love that skirt. And I'm afraid I have a similar tweedy fitted jacket in my own wardrobe, dated though it no doubt is!

Spring? Was nissing down and windy in Wales today 😁. Not a sniff of a daffodil yet.

She's not wearing the big ring today. Her Welsh cakes looked okay. Wills beard has thickened up now.

Daffodils are out in south West Ireland, it was chilly and bright today...Wales gets our weather a day later!

I like the jacket & the daffodil but the skirt is a miss for me

I'm not a fan of the skirt either. It looks like something a septuagenarian QEII would've worn for a bracing walk at Balmoral!

This is a colour I like. Leti in a lovely burgundy red dress by Massimo Duti, matching kitten heels.

Both checks and brown are on trend at the moment. I like brown. It’s softer than black and a bit less formal than navy. And to be fair, it’s still February so not quite spring yet 🤷‍♀️

I've noticed that the images of Leti don't show now in preview, so you'll have to click on the link.

Max's dress with the white embroidery reminds me of Meghan's bird shit dress from the Oprah interview. It looks like a seagull has pooped on her shoulder.

My daffodils are all out in my north facing front garden in Dublin @justasking111

I'm having to make do with Cornish daffodils for St David's Day 🙈

Leti looks good, that's a nice colour on her.

Happy St David's Day😎 I hope the leeks are doing well! Daffodils are prettier though, 2 days to bloom.

Has Sophie changed her hairdresser? Good decision if she has as she looks really good here.

She looks lovely there, I agree about her hair. Nice outfit too..

Excellent cut and colour for Sophie.

Oh yes, Sophie's hair looks really bouncy and modern. Good colour too! She's looking great.

Perhaps Sophie had her hair done especially for her visit to Essex, an Essex girl loves a bit of grooming!

This is certainly an interesting ODLR look from Max. I think she's one of the few women who can carry it off.

There was some video footage of her at the event and she looked like she was having a great time playing table football! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DGlMQnoNe3c/?igsh=cXlobWcwdnJocHRl

Sophie's hair often looks like she's not done a lot with it (scrunchies 😬), but it looks great there. It does go to show the enormous difference that a professional hair stylist makes.

If I were ever to have the money, my big indulgence would be getting my hair washed and blow dried at the salon 3x a week!

Love her dress. The coat is too odd for me
