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!

I’ve just spotted Kates ruby earrings too. A nice bit of colour and a “nod” to poppies no doubt!

Ooh yes! I like that coat. I can find a picture of her boots though (I’m having a useless day today 😆)

I like Kate's outfit today much better than Sunday's - the hat and boots are perfect. I also love her hair when it's all coiled and pinned under her hat rather than loose.

I like this coat - I think it is inspired by the ceremonial uniforms of King's Royal Horse Artillery

I thought Kate looked fab today. I’m not normally a fan of her hair up, but this looked great with the hat.

Black sometimes washes her out, but today she looked really good.

Agree, Kate looks lovely today. Very elegant and attire appropriate. Her hair is very pretty in that style.
Love how she engaged with the veterans.

The king and queen are hosting a veterans event at Windsor later. Maybe we will see some pics 🤷‍♀️

Leti and Felipe welcome the Sultan of Oman.

Leti is wearing a black wool Cos coat over a Pertegaz dress. The dress is a rewear, I wasn't sure about it on the first outing, but I really like it now, I think it's an interesting design.

The flowers on it almost look like poppies, appropriately enough

Kate’s coat is gorgeous.
Leti’s dress doesn’t need the big bow and high neck with the flowers.
A simpler neckline would be nicer.

Kate's coat has always been my favourite black one.

The first time she wore it I wasn't keen, but I actually really like it, and even though there's a lot going on, I don't find it too fussy.

I love Leti's look with the coat on but I 'm not keen on the dress at all (I'm not usually a pattern-phobe) it just doesn't work for me.

Letizia is is China now. I like the dress but the black shoes and bag are a bit heavy with it.

Yes, I like the dress, the colour is great - I think we've seen it before? I agree about the black accessories, they do look too heavy, perhaps a pale neutral would have been better.

I’m not sure about the sleeve length. They are neither short, or quite long enough to be bracelet and they make her arms look very thin 🤔

Some nice pictures from the evening reception at Windsor for the Veterans. I love the brooch that the Duchess of Gloucester is wearing and I did smile at Edward’s tie with the crowns on it - I have no idea but guessing that it maybe has some military significance?

The Gloucesters have been very supportive in the past couple of years, mostly there in the background.
The Duchess is always immaculately turned out.

Lovely full length shot of Kate from yesterday. She was wearing boots which go well. The photographer she is speaking to is Arthur Edwards who is in his 80s and has been a royal photographer for the Sun for 50 years. The royals often say hello to him on engagements and ensure he gets a good shot. The king even introduced him to the Pope last month!

Thanks for the photo of the boots @Choux. I saw one yesterday (finally) but you could only just see the front of them. It did look like she had a slight scuff mark on the toe which I thought was quite endearing. Who hasn’t caught their toe when wearing suede and marked their shoes 😆. That’s a lovely anecdote about the photographer!

That's a great photo of Kate with Arthur Edwards @Choux.

Sophie is in Central and South America, on an official visit. She's pictured meeting with an Indigenous Women's Rights Group.
I really like both dresses. The Lexy London one is just right, in terms of pattern and colour, and I also like the Beulah.

Love Sophie’s nude shoes. ❤️

I love Sophie 😍. Maybe not always her style but I think she is a very genuine person who works hard. I like her two dresses here. I even like the trousers and blouse. I do not like the platform canvas shoes. I think I've complained about them before, and they haven't grown on me on a second outing!
