Royal Style: More Summer Bling please

[Maireas]

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

I really like Zara’s dress. I think the model photos show a couple of ways to do the tie and she’s gone for a different way, although it does add extra bunching where the fabric is already pleated. I wish she’d changed the shoes. Maybe tan or espadrilles.
Mike’s braces seem to be holding his trousers a tad too high.

I think that's probably just the immediate working royals. I'm sure Harriet and Zara get hefty discounts. And of course the Yorks have never been ones to turn down freebies!

Heaven forfend 🙄

Not keen on Zara in that dress. There’s a lot of unflattering fabric bunching going on. Mike looks like everything shrunk in the wash.

It looked lovely as she was walking along (I was watching a Wimbledon podcast where they interviewed the Tindalls arriving).

The dress moved nicely and didn't seem too bunched up in real life.

Lol I thought Mike had put on a bit of weight round the middle. Happens to rugby players when they stop playing unfortunately. My son had the same issue.

I agree with @TimorousOrBoldthat there is a lot of unflattering fabric bunching going on. A rare fail for Rebecca Valance dresses on Zara.

That's an impressive pendant!

I like the shade of Anne's dress, very flattering, and she's wearing white gloves! Thank goodness 😉
The pendant used to be part of a Cartier tiara.

OH I'm lusting after the pendant but would like it to be on a clip so that it could be worn on a chain.

Yes, I'd prefer that than on the pearls.

Anne looks quite nice there! I wonder if she wears her hair down when she's off-duty and doesn't get recognised?

Maxima riding a bike in heels and with her handbag is the photo we never knew we needed! I like her dress but the belt looks like a piece of string tied around her middle.

Maxima cycling in high heels 👌. I'm only disappointed there's no large cycling helmet.
I like the dress, it reminds me of Delft pottery.

I quite like Brigitte's suit, it's a muted colour and a boxy fit, which works.
Stephanie's dress is a very bright colour, and I don't think it suits her. Those on here who understand the colour thing would probably advise a different shade.
Her earrings, hair and makeup are spot on, though.

Max on a bike is definitely an interesting look, but the Dutch ride bikes in all kinds of outfits as it is such a commonly used mode of transport rather than a fitness thing.

I’m not keen on Maxima’s dress. Like Zara’s it has too much fabric and pattern.
I agree @Maireasthat the colour isn’t great on Stephanie.
Brigitte’s suit is ok.

Yes, I think the colour overpowers Stephanie and a softer shade would be better on her.

Sadly no Luxembourg mascots in the pictures though! Always the best accessories

I agree! 😊

I don’t know where she is today but that’s a nice dress.

Apparently it’s the charity polo match.

Lovely! 😍

That's a gorgeous dress.
