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?

Coat far too long again in my humble opinion. Nice hat though

Love Kate's coat and hat - very elegant - and her hair is beautiful in that twist. There are some pictures of her leaving the cathedral in the wind where the hat just about makes a bid for freedom!

I’m not a massive fan of Kate’s recent penchant for long narrow coats BUT I think today’s ensemble was pretty much bang on although I prefer the belted original version. Waaaay better than last week’s grey coat…

Not a fan of Kate’s rather harsh hat. I like her hair up though.

Do royal ladies get lessons in how to walk in heels. I’ve now accepted I’ll be forever in flats 😢 can no longer walk in heels.

That’s the Lord Lieutenant, Lady Colgrain. I liked her tights too. They must be a very fine denier. I bet she had several pairs on standby in case she put her finger through them!

I'm going to mention Kate's hair now...😬
I thought her updo was very pretty, very flattering.

You are very brave @Maireas !! I’m always amazed at the hairdressers ingenuity to think of and create new up dos

😂

Iliked it too. I did wonder if it was enabling some underpinning of the hat too. The weather looked windy and there was no umbrella cover that I could see.

Some more details from Marie Claire.

It's a Suzannah London cashmere coat, a label much favoured by Sophie. A favourite Chanel clutch bag as well.

Im sure whoever does her updos loves the length 🙂

Good point 😉

Given the weather this week I’d bet she had a fair few pins in just in case.

i can only think of one royal lady that had a hat blow off (Mary of Denmark) which is quite amazing given how many of them wear hats in windy weather!

I dont know why do many people on these threads have to repeatedly make subtle digs about the length of Kate's hair. Its actually quite tedious to read it so often. My take is that Kate managed not to lose her hair during her chemotherapy treatment and so if she never gets her hair cut ever again, then that is her choice and nothing to do with anyone else.

I think one picture shows it nearly blowing off!

The Princess of Wales's hat was fantastic today. Loved the tiny graphic print.

Much prefer Catherine’s outfit today to the slightly strange “Thunderbirds” style grey coat and hat the other day. Love the statement hat today but it was a brave choice given the weather 🤪

I love the PoW’s outfit and hair today, that photo where she’s holding on to the hat is just wow.

Oh God! Not this again!

Kate looked fabulous today - outfit was just gorgeous imho. She really suits a hat and her updo was so elegant. Her earrings are divine - I'd love some like that!

Her coat by Susannah shows a tie belt online. I prefer it without.

Love the outfit hat and hair are great though one of those photos does look like her hair is styled as a croissant 🥐...I could be hungry. 😁

Cute (and growing up fast) mascot alert! 💙💙

The family were together celebrating GDMT’s 70th at the weekend.
