The end of summer lies ahead, but we're hoping for more bling!

The Burberry marketing team must have got the champagne out when they saw those photos of Kate in their coat.

I was thinking the same!

😂 I know what you mean! Yet often one shoulder, or off the shoulder works well, doesn't it?! It's just a bit strange here.

I think it might be because the sleeve isn’t fitted so it almost looks like she has two different outfits on at the same time. Or she has started to put a coat on. Hard to explain 🤷‍♀️

Yes, putting the coat on! It's strange.

I agree the sleeve is not right on the grey dress, it maybe the combination with the boat neckline that doesn’t work.

Charlene’s black dress is lovely.

Maireas · 19/09/2026 10:42

I like Charlene's black dress, it's very elegant. I love the detail around the neckline.

Love Charlene's beaded mini-cape black dress - that's what I call serious glamour. Quite surprised it's Jenny Packham, as her stuff is rarely to my taste. But when it comes to embellishments I'll take beads over sparkles, sequins or glitter every time…

Maireas · 20/09/2026 11:26

It is a surprise that's Erdem! I think it looks lovely, although I've noticed that she's not had the cape front, but flutter sleeves instead. Both work.
The children look lovely too!

That’s a lovely dress on Charlene.

Ive just read Kate and William at at a film premiere on Tuesday so fingers crossed for a new frock!

RomainingCalm · 21/09/2026 10:03

Charlene isn't putting a foot wrong at the moment. I like the Erdem (sorry!) and love the Jenny Packham dress from last week.

(It does look familiar @justasking111 but apparently it's a new collection so unlikely to have been seen on another royal. I wondered if it's similar to something that Zara's worn?)

eggandonion · 21/09/2026 13:18

I agree that Charlene is looking well now...health wise and clothes wise . Her children are lovely looking too.
I hope they are all happy😊

Glorious insect print on that dress. I'm not very keen on generic wildlife prints, but I'm a sucker for fabrics where the designer has taken the trouble to depict specific species in some detail and with a care for entomological accuracy. Like the design of the dress too - nice neckline and sleeves.

I'm thinking that the dress was at an awards ceremony worn by an actress. Sometimes they get pre sale garments. I thought it was gorgeous then.

Didn't Camilla wear something with insects on a while back. I recall liking that too.

Char looks gorgeous in that photo. Such a great dress, a lovely flattering style and the prettiest print.

Rania in shorts, which is a bit of a departure!

Rania clearly drinks from the fountain of youth! Cool outfit.
