I really like Sophie's dress.

And it's Erdem! <<runs>>

I like it, though!

Here’s Sophie in a leather dress too - I really liked it, but I recall it was divisive!

Love the deep blue of Sophie's dress.

Meghan wins royals in leather as far as I'm concerned.

Leti’s deep red skirt looks identical to Meghan’s teal one. But Meghan’s styling of it is much better. The matching leather jacket Leti wears is too much leather especially with a contrasting top. The tonally matching shirt Meghan wears helps downplay the leather.

Leti’s deep burgundy leather dress looks great on her though!

Maireas · 05/09/2025 12:15

I think the green leather skirt and green top is one of my favourite of Meghan's outfits.

Here’s Camilla’s dress in motion - it looks quite silky and light. She also squeezes into a phone booth with eight children!

Just saw that that the Duchess of Kent has died.

Maireas · 05/09/2025 12:17

I'm sorry to hear that, Deftly.

Georgio Armani - I did not realise that these were both his creations. Chalk and cheese. Or chalk and bird poop 😂

Sad to hear that. I always thought she was a stylish lady

eggandonion · 05/09/2025 12:22

My dad liked the Duchess of Kent and Princess Alexandra best. That's sad for the Duke who supported the late queen so much.

Maireas · 05/09/2025 12:22

Yes, we've often commented on her style on here. Some really lovely and memorable outfits.

I'll always associate her with Wimbledon, especially the time Jana Novotna cried on her shoulder. Sad to think she's dead too.

Maireas · 05/09/2025 12:24

Me too. She always brightened up Wimbledon!

Such a shame she seems to have been a lovely person. When our careers teacher at school asked what we wanted to do and I said I had no idea he said well who has a job you would love I thought for a moment and said the Duchess of Kent. He appears to have been a few years out in his estimate of when the role would become available for me to apply for.

Edited

Didn’t Meghan have a red version of the teal leather skirt/matching colour top combo? Not sure how to post pictures but I seem to remember her looking great then too. Going to Google…

Teddy589 · 05/09/2025 12:45

I was right! This didn’t work quite as well
as the green, I think, now I’ve seen it again, but still overall a good look: www.harpersbazaar.com/celebrity/latest/a29585168/meghan-markle-one-young-world-red-leather-skirt/

Sidebeforeself · 05/09/2025 13:10

@Choux No I didnt know that about Jana Novotna either. Such a young age

Yes, me too. I thought it was perfect.

KiIIingMeDeftly · 05/09/2025 13:46

Yes, Jana had cancer and died about 6 or 7 years ago.

RockaLock · 05/09/2025 13:56

Oh. I posted before reading the rest of the thread. That is very sad about the Duchess of Kent, she always seemed lovely.

Thankyou so much ! Who knew there was so much leather too! I loved that teal ensemble on Meghan.

I had leather trousers, too hot in them I'm afraid

justasking111 · 05/09/2025 14:38

The Duchess, such a gentle soul.
