No, no, no....it's Elmo peering through the railings, surely?

It looks like some headdress made from red roses.

Pink roses would have been less awful better

I agree.

I think that's a very D&G look, isn't it?

The headdress is very Día de Muertos 💀🌹💀🌹💀🌹

Yes, I was thinking that! Frida Kahlo vibes, too.

What can we say, Leti? 💪That's a great look, very figure hugging, but stylish. The espadrilles are going to be divisive, but I like them.

I always think that the Spanish royals can get away with espadrilles! She looks great, as does Sofia.

How about a Princess Margaret fashion fest?
Some very glamorous looks here, I love pics 11 and 19. Interesting caped evening dress pic 58 that looks quite modern.

I love 16. The complete over-the-topness of the white fur!

Maireas · 16/07/2025 07:40

That's a great one! Margaret never went for minimalism.
I really love her wedding dress, though. The whole look was so ethereal. Beautiful.

A lot of her fashion choices aside from the Cinderella ones were misses. Always felt sorry for Margaret the little sister such a stickler for royal protocol dress wise.

I love picture 30 of her in the one shoulder (or
more properly, one strap) gown. Uber glamorous. I think her fashion choices look less good now due to the era in which she is in the memory of many people - the 1970’s. As she mostly had to wear formal attire and it wasn’t great in that era, she doesn’t always look her best. She did get a bit stuck in the sort of kaftan wearing Mustique aesthetic as well
I am sad there isn’t a picture of her in my tiara, although she is wearing a turquoise necklace and earrings in one photo. Is that part of a parure with the tiara? And is it available 🤔

See @smilesy this is how it started for me!! It's a -sparkly- slippery slope into full-on addiction! 👑💎💍📿

I love the Kaftan-wearing-on-Mystique aesthetic/lifestyle! I'd waft around in a kaftan every day if I could. 🌴🌴🌴

Sidebeforeself · 16/07/2025 09:17

Ooh that pink spotted dress that Margaret is wearing..with the arched sleeves…reminds me of Helen Windsors wedding dress (one of my faves)

TwerkingRoyalNotWorkingRoyal · 16/07/2025 09:24

Such beautiful gowns. Sigh.

TwerkingRoyalNotWorkingRoyal · 16/07/2025 09:26

Helen looked divine, such a very well executed look.

I like the idea of wafting around, it’s just the kaftan aesthetic I have a problem with. Puts me in mind of Demos Roussos 😂

TwerkingRoyalNotWorkingRoyal · 16/07/2025 09:51

Haha well funnily enough I love him too!! Not that I'd necessarily want to look like him, mind. 🙂

TwerkingRoyalNotWorkingRoyal · 16/07/2025 09:54

(definitely a child of the 70s 😆😆)

I like espadrilles. I have a bright yellow toe box pair that makes me very happy indeed.

The Spanish Royals are almost required to wear them aren't they.
