Counting down to the pics of W&C - and Tom! - at The Royal Film Performance and World Premiere of "Digger" tonight...

Am I first?

The colour is gorgeous but overall I feel the dress is wearing her. The hair and make up are ageing too. I also think that the necklace looks tacky (yes I know it's an incredibly valuable piece!) and is too long for that neckline. So I have to say this is a rare miss for me!

The dress is a miss.
And who persuaded W that a velvet jacket was a good idea!!!

MrMarkhamsFanClub · 22/09/2026 20:48

The dress is a bit too much I think, it needed a pattern to stop it looking 'heavy'. William looks spot on tonight! I'm a sucker for a velvet jacket - I'm a 70s gal 😂

Didn't W wear a velvet jacket last year / recently?

Same one I reckon - from BAFTAs 2023.

I also like William's velvet jacket! I like seeing men not always playing it safe on the red carpet. Kate's dress has a bit of a 70s vibe, so William's jacket kind of matches her.

I think Kate is swimming in all that fabric though. The original design was sleeveless and she had those sleeves added on, but the result is just too much fabric for her very slim frame.

JamMakingWannaBe · 22/09/2026 20:58

I LOVE the colour.
There is a lot of fabric - especially with the train at the back.

I thought they both looked fab.

Kate can wear a bin liner and look good but that purple is fab on her.

ItsAlwaysTwins · 22/09/2026 21:01

As I said on the S&B thread - William looks like an absolute twonk in that short, double breasted velvet jacket. Ghastly.
Not keen on Kate in voluminous purple either.

Nah, William looks fab! And catherines dress is a beautiful colour, I just think there's a lot of it. But she still looks gorgeous.

Little Tom Cruise in his Cuban heels. Bless him.

And here we were thinking the old lady dropped it back into the ocean.

Needs to lose the sleeves and the necklace is all wrong for the dress.

PinkGarden · 22/09/2026 21:26

Love her dearly but tonight she looks like a Quality Street

MrMarkhamsFanClub · 22/09/2026 21:29

That necklace is gorgeous and just perfect with that dress.

fourcamels · 22/09/2026 21:30

It’s a glorious colour and I knew it was a Jenny Packham as soon as I saw it, but it’s a lot on a very, very slim woman - the shoulders and sleeves especially are drowning her.

@JamMakingWannaBeHe must have gone and got it for her but maybe should just have left it there…

ItsAlwaysTwins · 22/09/2026 21:34

I agree. Kate’s drowned by the dress and the necklace is just nasty and too much with the earrings.

I fully agree.
It’s too short and double breasted.
God he was so handsome when younger <sigh>
What happened !

🤔 He still is handsome, his bone structure is amazing. I just don't get this hang up about hair. At least he's accepted it and not gone the floofy comb over route.

I wasn't sure about the dress in still images, but in video it's stunning, so light and moves so well. The colour is amazing on her. I like the necklace, but then I'm just a sucker for the bling. I'd be like Queen Mary and be wearing 15 necklaces, tiara and 25 rings and bracelets 🤗

She needs to put on some weight. She looks scrawny.

fizzerspin · 22/09/2026 22:33

I often think Kate’s clothes wear her or swamp her somewhat. The necklace is amazing imo but the wrong length, I like her hair & the colour suits her.

fizzerspin · 22/09/2026 22:35

I like Williams effort in the velvet, I think taking a risk is more exciting fashion wise.

wordler · 23/09/2026 00:04

It looked better in motion - I suspect it was one of those that looks much better in person than in a photo.

TomTom just can’t keep his hands off Kate! I was surprised by the double kiss!

Much improved with the facial hair 😉
