Reworked tiara

Maireas · 19/10/2026 19:39

Mary looks stunning, I love the blue velvet. Being picky, I'm not sure about that one dropped shoulder, but overall lovely. Ngo Phurong Ly looks very elegant, quite pared back, just adding the necklace.

I love that shade of blue in the sapphires.

Reworked tiara

Thanks for this - the reworking is definitely an improvement. Somehow the sapphires are enhanced.

Love the sapphires and the one shoulder too. On her, it works really well.

I find a lot of the 19th century tiaras a bit too heavy so I really like how Mary has reworked it. Didn't she oversee designing a new tiara for herself quite recently too? I think she has a good eye for jewellery.

Yes, Madeleine looks stunning in the red. I also like Jane Ittogi's traditional dress, the colours are beautiful.
Madeline's dress is Saafiyah

Thank you @KillingMeDeftly
Madeleine looks great. But she could wear s black bin bag and look great !
CPV looks very well but the dress is, as you write, a little fussy.
The traditional dress too is lovely.

Victoria’s dress (I agree it’s too much lace, she looks trussed up) is from H&M!

Green for the Omani welcome

She looks great. The fitting is impeccable and that's a lovely shade of green for her.

Green and red

Kate always looks good in green. Is it a St Patrick's Day rewear?

IceLollly · 20/10/2026 14:24

I’m also glad to see a hat!

Serenster · 20/10/2026 14:51

Both Camilla and kate look lovely! I wonder of that means we’ll have white tonight for Camilla and red for Kate?

Sidebeforeself · 20/10/2026 15:04

Oh no I’m not keen on that for Kate. It’s a terrible length for her I think ( though she clearly likes it as she wears her coats/ coat dresses at that length a lot)

Serenster · 20/10/2026 15:21

I love a long coat on a tall woman! It looks very stylish to my eye.

That was my first thought

I don’t like that coat, the pocket placement is odd but don’t mind the colour. Camilla’s red is a nice red.

Maireas · 20/10/2026 15:46

Kate's brooch is beautiful, first worn by Queen Alexandra when Princess of Wales.

I love that navy dress on Mary

I think Camilla and Catherine both look elegant. It’s unusual for Charles to be in tails, isn’t it?
