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.

No need to apologise @PurplebeadedFendias it goes without saying that what I write is just my opinion. I didn’t take offence.

As I said her outfit is eminently suitable but I would enjoy seeing some different looks from her. (I was the one who totted up her 5 Self Portrait versions (3 are white / cream) and posted photos earlier this week so perhaps that has tainted my view that she could mix things up more).

Edited

Thank you.

Maybe she'll surprise everyone tomorrow with something a bit different? She's possibly very conscious about not stealing the limelight from the players, especially female players in the women's final which, very sadly, just doesn't attract the same amount of interest as the men's final. The men's final is probably the highlight of the tennis year, at least for the British public, so I doubt whatever she wears tomorrow will overshadow that match.

Maireas · 12/07/2025 17:00

Ok. Yes, it is fair enough.

Just catching up on the tennis (we’re more Tour de France here)

I don’t dislike her outfit. It suits her and she obviously feels comfortable in it. Just feels a little, I don’t know..boring?

jaws33 · 12/07/2025 17:02

@Choux that style of dress really suits her and the colour is fantastic. I don't love the bow thing but I understand the need for it and it really works on her.

Maireas · 12/07/2025 17:04

@jaws33 is that the Wimbledon bow? The insignia? I'm just wondering if she's wearing another bow?

OP posts:
jaws33 · 12/07/2025 17:05

I think sometimes she wears fabrics that look too heavy for hot weather.

It's because they are always quite structured. Lots of celebs at Wimbledon seem to wearing heavy fabrics. I'm just down the road & don't understand how they are coping! 😆

jaws33 · 12/07/2025 17:06

@Maireas I'm talking about the massive twisty thing on her left side/shoulder. I wrongly assumed bow was descriptive enough 😆

KiIIingMeDeftly · 12/07/2025 17:10

Short day out for Kate! Hopefully the men's will be a bit more of a match tomorrow.

No, don't apologise! The bow on her outfit is the Club insignia.

Oh my goodness. Poor Anisimova. I feel for her.

Kate is going to need to do some hugging à la Duchess of Kent I feel!

Maireas · 12/07/2025 17:11

I know. I'm almost wondering if we'll get a Jana Novotna/Duchess of Kent moment with her and Kate! Surely she won't have to make a speech?

I'd be so happy to be out of the sun.

I like Catherine's slingbacks.

Maireas · 12/07/2025 17:16

I'm glad Kate didn't hug her actually, she obviously just said a few words. That's enough.

She held it together for the presentation from Kate. I think I saw Kate saying ‘you’ll be back’ to her.

I agree. Also if I was hot and sweaty and had just crashed out like that I'd want to get off court as fast a possible and not sweatstain a royal.

jaws33 · 12/07/2025 17:21

No, don't apologise!

I won't!

The bow on her outfit is the Club insignia.

What would you prefer me to call it?

Were you a bow in a past life who is still traumatised about being left off a trim? perhaps you are a founding member of the bow appreciation society? No idea why you are taking it so personally 😆

themessygarden · 12/07/2025 17:22

Catherine looks beautiful, love the outfit, it's perfect. I don't think it is Self Portrait with that neckline, curious now to find out if it is Dior. Did she get a standing ovation again when she arrived?

Maireas · 12/07/2025 17:23

I'm not taking it personally. Genuinely. I am sorry that it came across that way.
The error is mine, I was a little confused. No matter.
Many apologies for the misunderstanding

Fair enough, it just came across as very passive aggressive which threw me. We all have opinions and no one's is more valid. But some on this board can get a bit defensive if you criticise any part of Kate's clothes. After all if we all liked the same fashion & style life would be very boring!

It would indeed. I was just wondering if you'd seen another bow on the outfit because I could only see the club insignia.
I think on here there has been some criticism of Kate lately, so that could explain some comments.

OP posts:
Maireas · 12/07/2025 17:31

As you can see, @jaws33 , many people on her criticise Kate's clothes.

OP posts:
jaws33 · 12/07/2025 17:38

I'm pretty sure at the time that Roksanda dress was described as a bow dress & they still sell versions of it.

I'm not sure why you would assume I was talking about the small Wimbledon pin.

jaws33 · 12/07/2025 17:39

It's a style thread, why wouldn't that be the case? I just don't understand why people get defensive about it. 🤷🏻‍♀️
