Royal Style 👑 Evenings drawing in, more bling?

[Maireas]

Evening all! Next thread ready...

Quite a strong pattern, but I like the colours, the cut is nice. Are those ankle strap espadrilles?.

Further to @IceLollly's post. Sophie is back from Zambia, at the 8Oth anniversary of one of her charities, MENCAP.
Suzannah London dress and Penelope Chilvers shoes.

I really like that dress on Sophie. The colour and pattern look more modern than some of the dresses she wears and although it is still a tad too long, it works better because it is more fitted and there is less fabric in the skirt

Yes, it's better by being slightly more fitted.

@smilesy Agree about the print and fit of Sophie's dress. A definite improvement on all the voluminous shirt dresses with fussy prints and frilly or lacy trims that she's been majoring in this summer.

Like the deep beetroot colour too.

Sorry another crappy screenshot but another nice dress.

I had a dress like that back in the eighties sort of splodgy raspberry ripple. I also had the shoes.

I like both those dresses on Sophie. the first one is spoiled a bit by the awful espadrilles. But lovely dresses.

Yes that looks like a great fit on her too

This is a good look - nice colour and fit, some interest around the neckline. Really nice.

The voluminous, fussy dresses disguised her figure - perhaps she felt more confident like that - anyway, I like the new look and think she looks stunning (apart from the espadrilles!), more pulled together with the shorter haircut as well.

Love the navy dress and nude shoes on Sophie.
I wasn’t keen on the beetroot swirls dress and ghastly espadrilles.

Really sharp look from Letizia here, I think. Frilly russet blouse and shoes peeping out from her cream suit.

Gorgeous, and unusual colours. I really like it

I really like Leti's suit, the fit, cut and shade are all great. I don't like fussy blouses, but the impact is minimal.

Mirto and Sezane, the Queen of the High Street strikes again!

Leti wears quite a bit of Sezane, especially shoes I've noticed. I'm not familiar with Mitri, but that's a nice suit.

Catherine in Essex tonight looking nice. I’m sure the jacket will have been out before.

She does look nice. Yes, I'm sure we've seen the jacket before. I like it, with the simple top and trousers. Bonus point; no high heels.,..

Wahay! Flat shoes. 😀

I like that look on Kate - nothing revolutionary but it suits her and she looks good.

I agree, Ralph Lauren jacket, very nice. A simple outfit.

I do love a check jacket in the autumn 🍁

That's a nice look - very county! 😆
Refreshing to see her in flats. It looks more modern with her outfit.

It really does.

@Eaumyword very as our mothers would say!
