Royal Style: Hoping for Yuletide shimmer, but not too many green coats!

[Maireas]

Evening! Just setting up the next thread in case the other one fills up!

Love Catherine’s outfit, the colour really suits her, she is so elegant.

Liking both Kate and William's outfits!

I like both the colour and style of Catherine’s suit. William doesn’t look like he has made a huge effort, but he looks presentable 😆

Love the outfit, the colour really suits her. Maybe she's done what I sometimes do for work - layer a long-sleeved thermal top under a short-sleeved top then stick a blazer / jacket / open cardigan over both. It extends the season for my tops, keeps me toasty and no-one can tell 😊

Genius idea. (I have been very cold in the office this week in my usual workwear)

The bag looks interesting, a good contrast. A serviceable outfit and the jacket definitely looks better without the belt.

I think the proportions are off in Sophie’s outfit. A shorter jacket would be better. The boots are a miss. Bag is nice but not with the boots.

Kate looks good her nature video.

If Sophie’s outfit were a coat I would like it but would say it’s a couple of inches too long. As a jacket and skirt it either needs a shorter jacket or a much shorter skirt. And I know it’s cold and she has no coat but her sweater covering part of her hands is giving me fingerless gloves vibes which is so unroyal! She needs to fold the sweater back under the jacket sleeve.

She’s worn the jacket multiple times before both with and without the belt. I prefer it with the belt I think. The bottom half of the outfit never seems quite right but when sitting, meeting people etc the focus is on the smart looking top half of her which I guess is why she keeps wearing it.

Actually, it does look nice there with the belt. It didn't look quite right on the model.

I think the jacket looks best with the more casual trousers in those photos. It would probably go well with jeans too but it doesn't look quite right paired with a skirt or smarter trousers.

Rania saw Kate’s nature video and decided to go one step further. I don’t really understand it - why are there men riding alongside her - but I guess it’s a tourism video. The scenery is spectacular.

Jordan does look amazing. As does Rania!
I didn't realise you could get a train across.

Zara and Mike are in Australia for their annual Magic Millions appearances. Apparently while down under Zara always visits a shopping centre for promo purposes and she has also collaborated with a jeweller to release a jewellery line. I imagine this trip every January is very good for their family finances.

I like the red dress best in terms of what I would wear. Not keen on the puffy sleeves or the short skirt on me although Zara rocks the skirt length.

I'm not sure about that red dress and brown cross body bag. The blue dress is lovely on her, that fit is spot on.

The jewellery priced at £3-21k

I like the red dress and sandals, although it’s very much the sort of thing I would wear and I am a million miles away from stylish sadly! Both of the other dresses are Rebecca Vallance I think who seems to be Zara’s ‘go to’ for dresses - they suit her better than the high collars and tie belts.

I really like the red dress. Not a huge fan of the others - although the colours are nice.

The red dress is nice but it cost over £1000! If I spent that much on a dress I'd expect it to look a bit more special.

Whaaaat?! Goodness, that's surprising.

Blimey! I thought it looked like a £300 MeandEm dress or similar.

Same here!

I love the blue dress on Zara.

The longer of the blue dresses is one of the most flattering outfits I've ever seen Zara in. I'm not overly keen on the huge sleeves but the body of the dress is stunning. I really like the red dress on her too, she often wears more muted/dark colours and these brights look great. The bag spoils the line of the red dress a little though.
