Royal Style: Stilettos or kittens? More royal style and beauty chat.

[Maireas]

Morning!
A new thread. Autumn beckons, lets hope we get some interesting looks to discuss!

They are so big. (Former baby) Prince Charles is so big now ! Our original thread mascot!

They're both still so cute, though!

I love MM’s black dress. She looks a little washed out in the white ensemble though

I do normally love her style - very sleek and elegant

Yes - the white outfit isn’t remotely practical for any event but having your photo taken but it’s a striking and dramatic for those purposes.

The white looks better from behind.

I'm not so sure.

The front has too many bits.
I'm wearing a fleece and leggings so possibly a poor judge.

That's a great photo @Serenster

Until two minutes ago, I thought it was one outfit-a black dress and a white wrap. Which made sense of the black shoes…..

It is!

No, two outfits! 😂

I like the black outfit on Meghan, very elegant. The white one is perfect, as others have said, for fashion week where three clothes are meant to be a bit out there and don't have to flatter but it's too Roman extra on Horrible Histories for me.

I'm not a fan of Meghan with a tight bun but it does suit the clothes.

I never noticed it before, but Meghan looks very like the actress Jennifer Connelly.

Have you ever seen Meghan and Jennifer in the same place at the same time? 🤔

Sophie in Democratic Republic of the Congo. Its a shame her work doesn't get better news coverage, she seems to do interesting visits and support some under represented areas.

Fashionwise not great. Too many outfits to screenshot, but the sludgy green trousers and shirt are woefully crushed. The pink and white LexyLondon dress I'm not keen on, and the shoes are awful! platform beach canvas shoes . The skirt and white shirt, I presume she maybe was given that? Its quite nice. I really like the black and white MaxMara dress, definitely my favorite of the trip, and the blue MaxMara is also nice. Then she reverts to type and takes a nice dress (Erdem ) and puts a double breasted jacket over it!

But I appreciate the fashion. And the trip to somewhere interesting.

I quite like the Lexi dress. I always think it's hard to devise an appropriate wardrobe for this sort of trip.
Great work being promoted, though, including the Women's Safe Space. Also good to see that there are women UN Peacekeepers.

That's a fascinating trip. She travels a lot now to not very glamorous places but really interesting ones. Princess Anne too.
They need nice non crush travel outfits.

Don't see that personally - Jennifer has stunning green eyes and I think a completely different look. I think she was absolutely beautiful when young and has aged really well naturally (looked fab as a woman in her '50's in Top Gun Maverick.)

Meghan looked so beautiful in Paris. Personally I preferred her in the black dress which was more stylish for her petite frame, but the white outfit fitted the Paris Fashion Week brief for the dramatic and unusual. What an absolutely stunning woman she is. Her hair and makeup were so chic.

I know this isn't really a fashion piece, and warning; it is a hard read, but the DofE does such brave and necessary work in this area that I hope you won't mind me sharing it.

Sophie makes high-risk return to war zone to highlight rape crisis

Thank you, @IDareSay . Yes, it is a difficult read. This is the sort of thing that royals should be supporting, and I'm glad that Sophie does.

I read that article in The Times this morning too, the importance of what she was doing is immense and I can see why she would have had a limited wardrobe / been crumpled, she had probably been on military transport for hours. It said the trip had been subject to a news blackout for security reasons. Her inner beauty and caring nature shines through in the photos, I think she was appropriately turned out and respectful of the situation she was in. She is my favourite Royal by some way.

I feel shallow now commenting on her clothes being crumpled. She is doing sterling stuff.

Her upgrade to Duchess of Edinburgh is well deserved.

Princess Anne in my neck of the woods today!
