Royal Style: Spring Forward! Bling Forward, too..

[Maireas]

Welcome to style mavens old and new to continue our chats.
Hopefully more bling if there's another banquet on the horizon?

I think the red one is the only one which isn’t Zimmerman. The kick video is quite impressive as it’s a rugby type ball she is kicking and she doesn’t hesitate at all.

CPV without a bun?! It'll be Anne, next!
I'm not keen on the pale blue outfit, I think it's the proportions of the jeans and the jacket. I prefer the cream blazer, which is a better cut. I'd remove those gold buttons at nipple level, though 😊
Nice pictures, she's looking lovely throughout.

I agree. The bbq outfit is all similar colours and the wide leg jeans don’t work well with the jacket and blouse. Perhaps a tighter T-shirt type top would have helped. The lab outfit with the ponytail has a similar jacket but she has darker tighter trousers on and it works better. I like the bag and scarf too. I wish I could tie a scarf neatly like that.

First look at the decor for tonight

After last week’s amazing dress Charlene wore this to the Michelin guide award ceremony 😳

I love that scarf.

Charlene! No! That is all kinds of wrong.

Those heels are awfully high.

All her shoes are. I made sure I found full length shots including the stilettos.

I agree that Victoria's all-blue look could do with a different shade somewhere in the mix, but I like her approach to tweed jackets. I think she wore something very similar for a 'tree walk' in a Swedish city last year, but with darker trousers.

Kate and William being photobombed by Anne. I like Kate’s look. Not a fan of Camilla’s dog paw tiara.

Cambridge Lover's Knot tiara again. I can't work out which one Camilla is wearing.

I love Camilla all gussied up. She does tiaras and formal dress so well.

Kate looks ok. Nothing remarkable.

Nothing fancy but that shade of green always looks good on Kate. I was expecting something more colourful from the Nigerian first lady!

Just realised Kate and Camilla are wearing the colours of the Nigerian flag

The sapphire tiara. I was hoping for the Vladimir with emeralds, given the Nigerian guests and their flags. But sadly not.

Kate's gown is by Andrew Gn. It looks a little like something Queen Rania would wear, doesn't it?

I like Kate’s look. Elegant . She does use that bag a lot doesn’t she?!

It's a 'modest' style (high neck; arms and legs covered; not figure-hugging). Don't think that should be protocol when we're hosting.

Yes, they didn't have a formal lunch because their guests are observing Ramadan. A Royal Banquet is a good Iftar!

The first thing I thought of with Kate’s grey outfit was air hostess. Which is a shame as I think the style is spot on.
Would have been better all one colour.

The evening dress is gorgeous, although I think her hair would look better up.

My eyes! 😬

Princess Anne’s coat this evening is apparently a rewear from 1969!

William looks like he's trying to work out if he turned the gas off in that picture.

I love the green and white theming between Camilla and Kate. Love the tiara choices as well.

i do wish they’d wear the family orders properly - I know it doesn’t look as smart and the multi colours of the ribbons must be a pain with outfits, but they should be wearing the two like Anne. I’m of the “if you’re wearing them wear them properly camp”.
