Royal Style: We Love the Boldness, Bring it on!

[Maireas]

Well style mavens, that last thread went quickly! Let's hope we get more royal fashion to analyse. I think we need some tiara action, though.

Haha @smilesy! I could handle that. And keep my tiara on straight. 😆😆

😂
Despite having lived in France, I can’t stand Pastis. I’d just have the gin bit 😂😂

Heh well you know, I'm thinking something in the region of £6000-8000 like the one Mary bought when she couldn't make do with the ones she already had. 😉

The Faily Mail have a great gallery of pictures, - sorry, some of you may wish to avert your eyes.
Camilla's bling is fabulous 😍! Stonking sapphires. Poor Charles looks as if he's got a very sore eye. Kate looks gorgeous.

They seem to be going for an out in nature/the garden vibe with tiny vases of wildflowers and greenery

I'll say this, though, the Macrons and the Windsors are well matched in height.
Good job Felipe isn't there.

How vulgar. One doesn’t buy a tiara — one inherits it

😉

Heh yes and I expect that's exactly why she hasn't bought one!

And despite being British I hate gin but like Pastis. So I’ll just have that please.

That'll get the chat going. They'll all get confused between Brigitte and Birgitte and Sir Tim might do a hornpipe.

I'd be terrified of leaning over to eat my soup and the tiara tumbling in!

But Camilla really rocks the big rocks

I'm not too keen on pastis tbf. But I can drink it.

We could go as a couple and do sharesies. I wonder if anyone could lend us some
bling 🤔😂

typo

Bloody hell she can definitely rock the bling.

Me too @Lunde.

Yes Camilla does tiaras exceptionally well.

Is that l'Entente without cordial? 🍸

I don’t know that any woman has ever rocked the bling as well as Camilla. She was born to wear it - the gaudier the better!

😂very good!

I love all the jewels - gorgeous.

I'm not a fan of Catherine's dress. I don't like the cape sleeve look (although she absolutely rocked it with the Bond premier dress). I liked her day outfit but wasn't a fan of the colour.

Is this the green off the shoulder dress referred to up thread

Is there a reason the royal ladies are all in white except Kate?
QC - I think she looks great, top marks for the bling
POW - love the colour, this shade of red/crimson works much better on her, would have liked a different tiara - I doubt she had time for an updo! My only critique is the eye makeup…
PA - meh… not keen on the bolero or the white
DoE - I quite like Sophie’s dress 😆 Would love to see her in a different tiara, but maybe she just really likes that one!
DoG - fabulous! Dress beautifully fitted and suits her perfectly
BM - probably my favourite of the evening, gorgeous shade of blue and love the dress

I didn’t love PoW’s Dior ensemble earlier, I just don’t think that colour works on her and I thought the jacket was a bit shapeless. No complaints from me on her hair though… it is a magnificent mane and I don’t see any need for her to cut it 🤷🏻‍♀️ Do I prefer it a bit shorter? Yes… I think Denmark Mary’s hair length is my favourite and would like to see Kate try that! But in the grand scheme of things I couldn’t give a toss! Long oul day for her and I hope she takes it easy for the rest of the week and manages to get to Wimbledon for the finals.

I’m on the list with a Belgian tiara that my mate Mathilde sometimes wears. Don’t you have one?

@smilesy , I'm sure you have a tiara, I'm going to have to open the Spreadsheet of Splendour.

DH has the sore eye very bloodshot. Clinic said he'd burst a blood vessel and had an infection. Super uncomfortable. He did it falling on his derriere. Apparently a good jolt can result in trauma. Who knew.

I would be very happy if I do, but I’m not aware of one. If there is one going spare I would be eternally grateful 🙏

I'm wondering what Raymond Blanc has dreamt up for the menu tonight.
