Royal Style: More Summer Bling please

[Maireas]

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

I like the colour combination and it makes a change from florals.

Harriet looks lovely but I'm not keen on that dress for Wimbledon at all. It looks like she could be heading into work in an office circa 1972. Much prefer her 2025 look.

I agree that Sarah Chatto always has a classic silhouette - great way of putting it. her style is the one I like the most out of all the royals. That all-white outfit doesn't work for me though - but the waist is fab. I wish it was in colour. I would not have said she doesn't dye her hair - just that it is a really good colour job.

Carole Middleton looks fresh as a daisy in the heat in her outfit. I especially like her necklace and bangle.

Nor me. It’s quite horrid. She looked so lovely at last year‘s Wimbledon that I had high hopes for her, style wise. But frankly, she’s let me down since (and at) her wedding 😂

The pattern doesn't quite match around the seam...im trying to work out if it is pleated there? But if so the centre should match.
Muss Hamilton who taught me to sew would be very cross.

Yes that would attract a lot of criticism on Sewing Bee!

I think it is pleated having looked at the website...but I think the centre lines should match. It's silk twill which I'm sure is very nice to wear.

I like Harriet’s look and is that a Hermes handbag? It’s very nice either way

Anya Hindmarch.

I really don't like that dress at all, or the shoes

Leonor and Sofia of Spain have been oit and aboit. I've seen Leonor's blouse at Zara! She really resembles Letizia in some of these photos, doesn't she?

Leonor does look like Leti there, I haven't seen that before. Both princesses look lovely, and hit the right note with summer casual. I really like the Ba&sh top.

I love this dress (had to look up who she was)

I've never heard of her - is she famous?

She is married to Rory. They have a daughter...wee Poppy!

There's a better full length version of the Erica Stoll dress on the front of the Irish Times but I think it is behind a paywall.

Here’s one. Her dress is lovely and similar in style with respect to the waist detail to Sarah Chatto’s skirt and shirt but lighter and sleeker. Not keen on the shoes.

I think that dress would be lovely on Kate Wales.

I couldn't put my finger on who Peter Phillips reminds me of, and then realised it was Andrew MW 😬.

Emilia Wickstead made Harriet’s weddding dress and the bridesmaid dresses. I know the royal family don’t accept discounts or freebies but is that just the working royals? The dress full price was over £2k (plus a £1.5k bag and £500 shoes). Perhaps her bespoke wedding dress bill included a few other EW items bundled in for little to no extra cost. Or perhaps it’s rented?

I preferred her Wiggy Kit outfit last year as this outfit seems like a step up in formality which is odd as she is just at a social event with a not strict dress code. It feels like she’s dressing how she thinks someone royal should dress.

I think he looks like his dad!

I think that Zara is wearing the belt wrong here.

I think it's a nice dress for a warm day at Wimbledon, although I really don't like the original bow at the back of the dress, so maybe she's wearing it better! I'm not keen on the puff sleeves, but there's a v neck which stops Zara looking too trussed up. It's a lovely colour on her.

All these women still wearing high heeled court shoes. Still, I suppose they're not the ones queuing. 🥵

I’m not keen on the trend for belted dresses. Never think they sit right. Certainly never sit well on me.
