A continuing civilised and enjoyable discussion of all things relating to Endgame. Please keep posts on topic - I do not want to have to invoke Ross Gellar again!

She went with a pr exec from her agency as his plus one.

she was moved along the photo shoot as she was taking too long.

no pics of her at the table, but pics after of her standing awkwardly with two powerful women , so defo a photo opp to position herself.

I absolutely loved her in the green dress at the Commonwealth Day service but even that did not fit properly. All sort of tight and bunched under her arms.

The red pointy boob dress was awful IMO.

The green dress looked like an air crew outfit to me. I thought it was awful.

the red dress has to be up there with worst red carpet dress ever worn.

both colors were fab and really suit her.

I could never understand why so many of her outfits were so ill fitting when they could have been tailored to fit with no expense spared. Even the wedding dress looked bunchy round the bust.

On the other hand her suits outfits were really flattering I thought.

I must admit I really liked the green dress, I thought she carried it off very well, (although I agree it wasn't a perfect fit).

It seemed a very attention-seeking choice, but then I assume that was the whole point so it was a direct hit in that respect.

YY to both colours really suiting her. I am always a bit baffled when she wears brown which she seems to alot. Just not a good colour for her IMO. She also sometimes wore a pencil skirt- sweater combo in matching / similar colours and I thought that looked really good.

Yeah I wasn’t a fan of the green either, it was a bit too much with the hat and the cape, for my personal taste.

I think she does dress down very well, but struggles with dress up. I suspect it’s because she’s unsure and trying very hard. She also wears off the shoulder a lot. Which is quite a dated look. And the cream number was certainly inappropriate for a mental health panel.

to be fair, I think it is all so new to her, she struggles. But as said, I think she does the dress down very well.

If you look at her first year or so she wore lovely fitting clothes. My favourites were the dark green pencil skirt ensemble and the outfit she wore in Northern Ireland. So chic. The blue dress in the rain photo was also gorgeous.

I suspect she struggled a bit with her changing shape through pregnancy and afterwards as the fit of her clothing was less great after that (although there's still the wedding dress to account for). That's completely understandable.

I think the last few outfits I've seen have been better fitted in general, but there are still misses. Such is fashion, I suppose.

The green outfit I mean is the Givenchy one she wore in Ireland.

The fact she more often has issues with fit than issues with bad choice of outfit suggests to me that she has good taste but doesn’t have a reliable and trusted team around her. Making things fit is something you can’t do on your own, you either need a good seamstress or effective communication with the fashion house.

Maybe she is just borrowing outfits and has to return them as was

I think the poor fitting clothes and struggling to dress up or to know what is appropriate is another example of why she should have worked with advisers rather than dismissing them and, ultimately in the case of the RF ones, cutting herself off from them.

I agree, I think she is picking her own clothes, and off the shelf, although clearly high end, they are not tailored to fit her. Unlike Kate who has a dresser, seamstress and stylist, and whose clothes I think are tailored to fit her.

I do just think she’s also not confident in dressing for high profile events where she is trying to be royal. When she goes paired down, like the blue dress in the rain she gets it right, but when she goes too far like the green ensemble, it’s like she watched downtown abbey and decided that’s what a duchess wears.

the green would probably have worked if it fitted and she lost the massive cape. It was just too much. And it’s never good when you can see the outline of your underwear.

if I was her, I’d side eye what Kate does, as she’s had a lot of experience now, clearly has a stylist , and in recent years has been getting it right. I’d also employ a stylist and seamstress if I was her.

its hard though, I don’t envy her at all, as when you know you will be massively photographed, I’d probably fuck it up too at times. The temptation to over think it and try too hard.

Wales must be quaking.

Yes I agree.
I think she arrived in the royal family with a more developed sense of personal style than Kate was showing a few years ago (Kate has got more confident since) so I can imagine MM being like ‘why would I ask her for advice? I dress far better than boring sil!’ and not appreciating that Kate is reliably good at being smart and well fitted.

This couple could have achieved their dream in America of wealth and philanthropy and been happy there.

I think that that's the sticking point though-how to achieve the wealth that they want?

Agree the blue outfit in the rain was fabulous, as was a black trouser suit she wore, can't recall the event.

So many baggy misses though even pre pregnancy. And who let her go on that walkabout with the price tag hanging off the hem? Maybe they'd had enough and it was a last ta rah.

There have been reports that some of her clothes are loaned, hence the bad tailoring. It certainly would explain things.

However, when you see some photos of her in the very early part of her career, she didn’t have great style then either !

There are plenty of threads about the clothes - it’s so tiresome reading shit like that about women here.

But I’ll crack on to something else as clearly plenty enjoy it.

Don't worry @AliceOlive , I'm not interested in the clothes of any of them either! 😄

I am interested in the clothes but agree that for the purposes of this thread it’s probably time to pivot 😁

Ohh I thought I was on the style thread ! Mea culpa!

You don’t need to read or you can post something interesting to divert the conversation. This wasn’t it.
