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!

Ooh apparently theres a state banquet planned in March!

Tell us more!

It can be revealed that the King and Queen will host the president of Nigeria on a state visit to the UK in March, the first such visit since 1989

In today’s Times!

I realise it doesn’t specify a banquet but it would be unusual not to have one wouldnt it?

There’s a potential state visit of the King and Queen to the US in April but I haven’t seen anything announced officially yet for any 2026 state visits in the UK which is much better for gown and tiara watching.

The clothes will be amazing if it's Nigeria!

That's got potential for style watchers!

And here’s another dress from Zara’s trip - I’m 50:50 with this one - I don’t hate it but I’m not sure about the pastel print.

And Stephanie was at an event this week - I quite like the shape of the top she’s wearing.

Zara's dress has a nice summery print. I'm not sure about Stephanie's top, maybe it's a bit casual?

Zara looks best in a pair of shorts and a skimpy top. She has amazing legs.

She does @justasking111
The navy mini looks great on her too.
I think the colour of Stephanie’s top doesn’t suit her. It washes her out iykwim

There’s a picture of her playing polo in a competition this week - she is laughing and just looks completely relaxed. And yes, she looks fab in shorts and a pair of flip flops!

Love that red summer dress on Zara and also the cream based floral one. Agree the brown crossbody bag looks strange - a clutch might have been better, but less practical I suppose.

Not royal, at all, but there were some lovely dresses at the Golden Globes:

Some lovely pictures. The last awards ceremony was blah. Glad to see some real glamour last night.

Fake tan seems to be out as well

I like Selena Gomez's and Jennifer Garner's dresses. Some old fashioned glamour on show instead of just the usual clickbait outfits.

Thank you for the link to the Golden Globes @PoppySeedBagelRedux
I’m delighted Jessie Buckley won ( haven’t seen Hamnet yet though ) the Best Actress in a film as I’m Irish.
You wouldn’t know she’d won from all the Golden Globes coverage in the Daily Mail app - I can’t find it.

Jessie Buckley looks fantastic, she had a baby only a few weeks ago, so the pressure on her must have been enormous.

Gosh, I remember Jessie from that BBC competition to find a Nancy for a new production of Oliver. And she didnt even win! She's done all right for herself, hasn't she?

She has! Just shows you.

There’s that old saying - “Talent will out”
And so it has with Jessie.
Her dress was Dior apparently.
It was a lovely colour, pale blue and she’s gone blonde.

Great to see some glamour!
My fave looks are:
Claire Danes
Ayo Edebiri
Jennifer Garner
Tessa Thompson

I love Tessa Thompson's dress as well, so glamorous.

Jessie was on Graham Norton a few weeks ago. I watched on catch-up. She really is a natural lovely actress.

I'm glad they identified who each person was, because I didn't recognise some of the new faces.... 😉
