Yes, @limetrees32 , that's the one I posted upthread.
I agree!

I loved it at the time, and I still love the skirt, and her overall look there, but viewing it now, the fit on the shoulders isn’t great.

Carolina Herrara’s clothes, when Letizia of Spain wears, them usually fit perfectly.

But in my view this dress fits her beautifully

Yes, that's so much more flattering. Beautiful.

Edit to say, I still don't like chunky belts on her (no belt or much narrower would be better IMO, but a fitted belt rather than a tie is better for her), but that cut on the neckline and shoulders/arms I so much more flattering to her. Not perfect, but much better.

That's an awful photo of Meghan, but tbh, none of the others are much better. She's a beautiful woman, but I really wish she would learn to dress for the body type she has and not the one she wants to have.

The colour is lovely on her, but the belt cuts her in half and makes her torso look even boxier, plus she's got the belt sitting way too high - as always. The material is ok, but she doesn't need material that creases as much, it's obviously a feature with her, not a glitch now. The skirt shape & length doesn't do her any favours - just makes her legs look more twig like. The halter neck with the collar just adds to the boxiness. She should look glorious, yet never does nowadays. Frustrating.

I don't think tying a big bow on your waist is really flattering to many people - especially if you are short waisted like Meghan. I am too and learned this lesson in the 80s when giant belts were a thing.

Also is it me or has Meghan styled her hair like Kate for this event? Side parting instead of centre? Soft waves/curls? Lighter highlights?

No, I think Meghan has always had long hair and it's not completely straightened. I think that's a look that's quite popular at the moment.

Better view of Sophie’s dress and shoes

I like the green, it's quite fresh, I'm not sure about that style, although she often looks good in a shirt dress.

Struggling to see what's wrong with Meghan's outfit in that photo posted upthread as I think she looks fine 🤷🏻‍♀️

Not a fan of the ditsy pattern on Sophie's dress. I preferred the teal silk one from a few days ago.

Maireas · 21/09/2025 18:30

Yes, that was my favourite.

I don't think Meghan's dress is awful but I'm not a huge fan of the big bow tie waist or the big collar halter neck.

I don’t think the dress is the worst thing she’s ever worn, apart from the bow and the fact that she looks crumpled yet again. I like Sophie’s dress. The length is better than usual. Edward’s jacket is all kinds of wrong. Too long and too roomy around the chest and shoulders. But at least it isn’t double breasted

Memo to royal ladies...ordinary belts are tidier than bows.

Great picture of her in front of the undies, with a smile! I actually like her outfit, that jacket is really nice with the yellow piping.

Yes looks like she is genuinely enjoying herself! (Though does she not have some sort of lady in waiting to carry her flowers?)

Yes, KC is quite the dapper chap.
I can't forgive him those awful safari suits though, but hopefully they're in the past.

Oh, it'll be in his wardrobe somewhere. Maybe Cams has hidden it. Some of his suits are sharp, though.

Oh yes, the safari suit wasn't his best look!
I really like Sophie's green dress, very wearable.
