Royal Style: More Summer Bling please

[Maireas]

That caught me by surprise! We had a flurry!
New thread.

Seeing Charlene at the Monaco F1 followed by magnificent Maxima, has just made me think. We are going to the Dutch F1 in August. I might get to see Max in the flesh 🧡

Oh now that is a hat and a half! Actually keeps the sun off. (Would happily wear that!)

Sorry meant to quote @KiIIingMeDeftlyre Max’s hat of substance.

Actually interesting to see both Maxima and Charlene at different events going for white shirt and statement skirt looks. Both look lovely as well. I’m sure there was at least one white shirt and skirt look at Peter Phillips’ wedding. Seems a bit of a mini royal trend.

A Hat of Substance, I like that!

I think Rania does it best. The fabrics and cut perhaps.

The hat is very "My Fair Lady".

I agree, it's definitely Rania's look, and that outfit is beautiful.

That was Lady Sarah Chatto, I believe.

Sadly not one of Sarah's best looks. There's a fine line between looking chic in black and white and looking like the waiting staff!

Yes, that was very disappointing. Especially for a summer wedding.

That’s Max at her very best! 🧡

Charlene was wearing a lovely red summer dress at the Monaco F1 in one of the links above. I can’t find it now but she looked great.

I don’t like Charlene’s blouse. It looks like she’s dribbled all down her front.

Yes I think maybe the blouse would be better if the embellishment was less concentrated in a band down the front. I suppose it’s meant to look like the feminine equivalent of a dress shirt but it does look a bit stuck on like a literal bib.
The “Felipe” effect still seems to be working a little on Albert, in that his suit seems to fit much better than usual, but he looks a bit plan and boring. Missing a waistcoat or cummerbund maybe! And is that a clip on bow tie 🤔

I just noticed none of the Kents seemed to be at the wedding. Are they second cousins ?
