Unusual Clothing Fail - Camilla

I think Camilla is usually the best-dressed member of the Royal family, so I was surprised to see her wearing this today. Someone should have told her this was not a good idea.

It looks awful. Clothes like this only look good on very tall and very willowy figures, anyone else looks a bit ridiculous.

What nonsense. That's such a limiting attitude. I've seen women of all shapes and sizes look good in jumpsuits!

Okay I am leaving this thread. I did not expect a barrage of personal insults.
And I was insulted pretty nastily long before I used the term sycophantic.
I will leave you to your pile on.

Huh? I still cannot see the barrage of insults. But if it helps you calm down, then by all means do so.

The boots are all wrong, and they should have given it a different neckline, as she has very little neck length. It doesn't suit her but not necessarily for the reasons you stated. Short un-willowy people can and do look great in jumpsuits, the proportions just need to be right.

Who are they?

Giles Brandreth, Judi Dench, Joanna Lumley...

Blossomtoes · 12/06/2023 17:17

It’s really nice.

WiddlinDiddlin · 12/06/2023 17:18

Um... I am ambivalent towards her outfit, she likes it, it looks comfy, clean, tidy. It looks a fair bit better than several other outfits there.

I can't imagine feeling strongly enough to want to start a thread about it!

I don't think that is Sally Dynevor stood next to Jo Lumley though.

MrsDanversGlidesAgain · 12/06/2023 16:34

Gyles Brandreth I think, always dresses like a look-at-me-twat

There's a reason for that. See if you can guess what it is.

>I was called names first

That's a lie.

I scrolled through the thread.

Initial comments with some saying they liked it, some that they didn't.

First insult: 16:20
From OP
calling those who disagreed 'sycophants'

Can you be a sycophant if the object of your 'admiration' doesn't actually know (or care)?

Toomanycaketins · 12/06/2023 17:19

I like it

Collaborating with artist and knitwear designer George Hostler, Brandreth created hundreds of jumper designs that appear in books he and Hostler authored and produced under their knitwear label, Gyles & George.

Oh, you mean because he sells them?

It deleted my entire message. It did remind me of something abba would wear!

Nice idea, but I was called names first. The misogynistic insult bitchy was thrown at me very early on. And other insults followed.
Just reminded me why I rarely post on MN these days.
I will leave you to your insults towards me for daring to say I do not like what Camilla is wearing.

I was just looking for a style and beauty type thread by the way. Not a barrage of personal insults.

If you want to join in the Royal Style and Beauty thread on here, please do. Mixed views on the jumpsuit. I personally don't like it, but some others do. It's nice to see her trying out other styles. You don't have to be tall and slender - or young!- to look stylish.

You started it by calling people sycophants. People have different opinions to you and that's ok.

Woman next to Joanna Lumley is Sally Webster from Corrie.

Blimey!

Wouldn't have recognised her at all!

Oh come ON 😅

Haven't been called a sycophant before. It makes a change from 'forelock tugging serf,' I s'pose.

Nope, the first insult was ‘sycophants’.

Nope. These are all the posts before you said people were sycophants.

What a strange thread this has been!

She definitely isn't. There a video clip of the meet n greet on the Daily Fail site which has her greeting the 'sally a like' (last, which suggest she isn't 'anyone') and its definitely not her.

Moveoverdarlin · 12/06/2023 17:25

I’m pretty critical, but I think she looks quite nice. Makes her look a bit more modern than usual.

GB pops up at everything royal and likes to assert at every available opportunity what a mate he is to the RF. I'd be more surprised if he wasn't there.

If sycophant applies to anyone it's GB.

Look at all the famous people in the background 😁.

It's awfully blue but I bet it's comfy.

Four of them staring quizzically at her back view. Not a good sign!

As an older and rather fat woman who wears Lucy and Yak dungarees and gets compliments from complete strangers, I say “go Camilla!”

wear bright colours if you like them
wear looser clothing
wear trousers
wear what makes you happy.

I was just about to recommend this post x 1,000 and I see it's you, @TrashyPanda !
Great post and very true.
