She looked gorgeous as usual. But I would have liked the dress to have had a more dramatic belt.
Maybe a wide corset clincher? Or a wide contrasting fabric sash, possibly with a huge bow?

Big fan of Kate here, I think she looks beautiful in everything she wears

Namsnanny Wed 20-Oct-21 18:18:20

It did work Atqui well done

Josianne Wed 20-Oct-21 18:46:49

Yes, Atqui, another Alistair McQueen at the Royal Variety.
Stunning on her.

Gingster Wed 20-Oct-21 18:55:58

I just thought ‘she must be so cold’

Josianne Wed 20-Oct-21 18:58:58

Alexander McQueen.... not sure where Alistair came from?

Blossoming Wed 20-Oct-21 19:25:25

I didn’t think the gold one was see through. I think it’s just the fabric that gives that impression. I may be completely wrong!

Atqui Fri 22-Oct-21 18:30:55

I think Times described it as diaphanous ( though memory may not be accurate!) . It certainly seemed to show her legs all the way up!!

Atqui Fri 22-Oct-21 18:31:45

Not criticising that by the way . Gorgeous figure!

Gingster I remember reading that Princess Di used to wear strappy thermals under her evening dresses, maybe Kate does that too!

Callistemon Fri 22-Oct-21 23:21:36

I think it has a lining.

Thermal?

PollyTickle Sat 23-Oct-21 00:03:24

She always looks elegant.
I love that gold number.

Josianne Sat 23-Oct-21 09:46:06

I would be happy to freeze for a top designer dress! grin

Kate's preferred shape/style of dress re jigged for the high street?
With a belt no lessgrin

Namsnanny Tue 02-Nov-21 13:06:25

A not so Kate shape for today!

Josianne Thu 11-Nov-21 09:47:40

Just following on from dress styles, a completely different choice for Veterans' Day gala by Meghan. I do remember she looked nice in the red dress she wore at the Royal Albert Hall, but I'm not so sure about this one?

TillyTrotter Thu 11-Nov-21 09:52:01

Bit revealing but I guess you can take the girl out of show biz, but you can’t take show biz out of the girl.

Harry looks more pleasant in this picture than the similar one on the front of the Telegraph, where he is scowling.
