Very Duran Duran.

Or Adam Ant as Prince Charming 😆

Catherine’s collar reminds me of many of the dresses Diana wore in the eighties

Yes, and I didn't like them then either.
Wasn't a fan of this outfit.

I like Meghan's velvet clutch and shoes.

They are stunning, the shoes especially. That photo is a better one - the others I've seen makes the top look like a really dark navy and a black skirt. It must be the different materials photograph differently with flashes.

Her earrings look fab too, I would have liked to have seen her hair a bit more modern - like a ponytail maybe?

Great look overall though.

I really disliked Kate’s original coat with the curved seams under the neckline (it just read really dowdy to me) so if she decided to rewear it I am pleased she mixed it up a bit. The lace jabot is very New Romantics, but also looks a bit gothic - it’s unexpected from Kate!

Sophie rewore the lovely lily-of-the-valley embroidered dress she wore to QEII’s funeral.

Choux · 09/11/2025 16:41

Sophie also wore gloves after our discussion this morning that only Anne seemed to wear gloves now.

Edited to say that (as far as I know) our discussion didn’t influence Sophie’s choice to wear gloves. My syntax is a bit ambiguous.

I thought Kate looked very chic today. Really didn't like her previous white collar dress.
Sophie and Cams looked good today too.

HollyhockDays · 09/11/2025 19:33

Cams and Kate seem to get on ok. I bet they roll their eyes at some of the nonsense!

I’m not sure about the jabot! Sophie looks great. I liked the dress from last night.

Vitriolinsanity · 09/11/2025 19:36

I always dislike Catherine’s RD coats. She does do great hat though, so I forgive her always.

Vitriolinsanity · 09/11/2025 19:37

And the dress last night looks like one of Anna’s best from Downton.

StartupRepair · 09/11/2025 19:46

Goodness, Anne popped on an Australian army uniform to meet some troops here.

I was hoping for the antipodean staple of shorts with long socks!

Great picture of Lady Louise as part of the remembrance parade in St Andrews.

Like the jabot but would have preferred it with a plainer coat underneath.

Maireas · 10/11/2025 17:00

Very pretty, I thought it was Victorian.

That's stunning and a bit different. Can we club together and share?!
Louise looks very serious in her fatigues. It's a great action photo. Is she a Reservist or volunteer,?

smilesy · 11/11/2025 11:28

Anyone seen any full length pics of Catherine at the National Memorial Arboretum today? I’ve only seen her hat (which is very nice) and the collar of her coat 🤷‍♀️

It's the coat with the fringe detail on the bodice that she wore on the balcony a couple of years ago. It was a repeat then too.

locketrocket · 11/11/2025 12:21

Here you go (photo uploading)

I rather like this coat.

Little bit Romanov.

I love that outfit on Kate - it looks like an Edwardian riding habit.

Sidebeforeself · 11/11/2025 12:44

I much prefer that to Sundays outfit. A much sharper look.

Maireas · 11/11/2025 12:44

I think Kate looked very elegant, I like the coat and hat. I also like the suede block heeled boots, which look a bit more modern than stilettos.
I'm not sure about the green outfit of Cams.

....and the hat and the hair! All very stylish 😎
