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 the tweed jacket-although it would be better with bone buttons, IMHO.

Danish state visit to Estonia. A lot of navy, not much tiara action.

I do like her farewell coat and beanie (although beanies are not very regal) but the jacket underneath 😮. What’s worse than a double breasted jacket? Double breasted with a belt!

A very understated tiara and dress

The Danes are now in Lithuania. I am not a fan of the floral suit fabric and think it would look nicer in plain fabric. She looks very smart on the ‘white’ carpet though despite being another royal in a headband.

I think Charlene gets away with her headband as it’s quite flat and everything else is immaculate. I still don’t love the headband but everything together is 😘

Mary is looking quite understated, it's also unusual for her to have loose hair with a tiara.

Yes sometimes Mary’s tiara hair is quite severe and Victorian school mistress-ish. It looks much nicer here.

She looks great!

...and Charlene looks beautiful!

I can't do brown ever - school uniform brown all the way down to brown knickers 😟 but, I have to say, I think Catherine is looking much better than she did over Christmas, her face seems a bit fuller and she's generally giving off a happier, more relaxed vibe. 🤗

Yeah, I agree - outfit aside, she's looking good.

Lithuanian state dinner tonight. Nice outfit in a current colour. I think it’s new. Hair up but not too severe. Overall she looks good but last night’s hair was better.

Yes, I'm not keen on the dress cape - it looks a little like she's wrapped up. Nice colour, though.

Mathilda is wearing burgundy too. And Charlotte Casiraghi was with her former MIL at the Chanel show in Paris. I like her dress from the knees up. The trim and shoes spoil it for me. Love that she still gets on with Carole Bouquet though.

Charlotte looks so like her mother. And also like her mother, luck in love seems to elude her.

Very chic.

Charlene is chefs kiss.
And goes to show that the right headband, can look very good. I think it’s because it’s flat and wider than the normal Alice band.

Not particularly fussed on any of Mary’s outfits. I like the burgundy colour, but the whole outfit reminds me of a Star Wars general 😆

Lovely pictures of Sophie and the Duke of Kent at a Holocaust event today. Sophie looks great, that combination of colours suits her.

Do you think Carole pronounces it "Bucket"?

(I'll get me double-breasted coat)

🤣🤣🤣

I quite like Mary's caped dress. It's quite dramatic and different. Though maybe a bit of a pain if you're trying to eat!

😂

I wonder if those big banqueting rooms are warm enough to wear those gowns. I laughed when Anne put on the cardigan recently. That would be me.

Felipe Varela seems to be Leti's go to designer for very formal events. Here she is in blue velvet for a diplomatic corps reception. Hair and makeup on point. I love her earrings.
