Kate

No she doesnt, but as a prominent person, she cant help but be critiqued on her style.

I think she looks good and has a style that she is comfortable with.

And the death of her husband's granny.

If Kate doesn’t have to wait too long to be Queen consort it will mean the death of her father in law will not be too long a wait.

To be fair to her, Camilla doesn't pretend to be a style icon.

^...Queen in waiting. I hope she doesn’t have a very long wait^

But if Camilla has a fair innings we more mature ladies might be able to pick up some fashion tips from her?
Maybe not!

I do like looking at what the other half wear grannydarkhair

And take an interest in fabrics, soft furnishings and the latest colours.

It all comes around again. Mustard, rattan, velvet all from the 70's, and now I see in the paper big shoulder pads are making a come back.

Thanks for mentioning the thread on MN

Am I right, her dress is 10 years old? I know she has worn it before, as did the other presenters.

Yes I agree she could wear anything and still look great.

The dress Emma Watson wore seemed as if the designer was trying too hard.
Even though she too could (and did), wear anything and still look good.

Oh and I didnt realise PWilliams jacket was velvet. Just like Bond

Emma Watsons dress was made out of 10 pre-loved wedding dresses.

And I just thought she would catch a cold without her cardie.
Clearly fashion passes me by.

Maybe she had a little strappy vest on underneath to keep her warm.
I certainly would have had ?

Me too. V3a
Or a lady in waiting just out of shot with a Pashmina!

Josianne, Namsnanny, anyone else interested in what the Royals of any/all countries wear, there is an on-going thread on Mumsnet re. this. I’m no Royalist, but do enjoy browsing through it every so often.

Kate has no waist? Well, I have no waist either but I regrettably don't look at all like Kate. I think she always looks fabulous. I was thinking just today that Kate is treating being Queen-in-waiting as a profession and doing very well at it, too. Well done, Miss Middleton.

I agree with you NotTooOld - she’s looking good, having gained a bit of weight and she seems a loving sensible devoted mother. She and William look easy together. I especially liked your comment that Kate is doing well at her role as Queen in waiting. I hope she doesn’t have a very long wait

Your just kind and practical Parsley3

I don't think Kate's smile is her best asset - but I particularly loved that dress and I can see she might have looked more fashionable with a wider belt, but for classic elegance I thought she looked wonderful. Much prefer the grecian tiny pleats to the "big" net chiffon look that is so much seen at the moment.

I love fashion and clothes but the most fabulous thing about Kate as far as I am concerned is her smile. She has such a huge, open smile it makes me want to join in with her.

She could wear a black plastic bin liner and still radiate elegance and style.

Kate Moss actually did!

I really do know a load of rubbish sometimes!

I think that style of dress suited her shape perfectly as did the gold one for the Bond film do.

Yes, I too am waistless……?

Iam64 ...... couldn't have put it better myself!

I think she looks wonderful - but then she would look wonderful in anything. Tall and slim, ideal figure for clothes.

I think Grace Kelly was the same sort of shape, tall and without a defined waist. Look at the designer's sketch of the waist and though a poor angle, how badly it turned out on her. Diana much the same.
I love anything to do with fabric and design, have spent many an hour at dress exhibitions.
