Just seen the photos of the red carpet. Duchess of Cambridge outshines the stars in a beautiful gold beaded gown. Very much looking forward to seeing the film on Friday morning.

Very glamorous from two very different generations.

D of C is wearing a gold Jenny Packham dress ( sister of Chris) , I bought a Jenny Packham dress a couple of years ago in a charity shop for £8. Good for that designer.

Good? It’s amazing! smile

DD2 set her heart on a particular early Jenny Packham dress for her wedding day. It took us months to track it down in a dress agency over in Dublin - it fit as if it had been made for her. Even secondhand, the cost made my eyes water! DD2 looked stunning in it though, and it’s still hanging in her wardrobe ten years later. Perhaps it’s her pension fund. grin

What I like about Catherine is her lovely friendly face. As I said before her smiles seem a genuine reflection of her enjoyment of what must, at times, be pretty dull events.
She's young and like other young women probably relishes the opportunity to get all dressed up for a glamorous event like this premier.

I thought they made a great foursome. Catherine looked absolutely stunning and I loved her hair style. Camilla looked fantastic too, no question of any competition between these two ladies, they both looked great as did their spouses. It was good to see them all together, but then I am an unashamed royalist.

On the back of this thread, I dreamt last night I had been left in sole charge of the Cambridges three children while they were out and I had to hoover the palace, too and there was a hole in the vacuum cleaner bag! ???

The Queen does look like a thistle smile

Thought she looked stunning. She always dresses appropriately for the occasion, as others have said. Don’t like the fussiness of her hair though!

Alegrias1 Thu 30-Sept-21 11:42:33

Just like when the Queen cleverly chooses a particular colour, style or piece of jewellery.

I remember when she came to the opening of the Scottish Parliament dressed as a thistle.

I thought it looked like the Hunger games with the four of them stood in a row

May the odds be ever in your favour. smile

(Well they will be if you marry a prince and wear nice frocks.)

William was extremely fortunate to have met Kate. They were both sensible by choosing not to rush into marriage.

If they had chosen not to stand together for that photograph?
the headlines- Camilla didn’t want to be compared with Kate.
They arrived together as a family,

I think saying the dress made Kate look like the Oscar statuette is in fact a compliment. I'm sure it was intentional as the royal dressers are very good at selecting outfits which shout out the occasion. Just like when the Queen cleverly choooses a particular colour, style or piece of jewellery.
I think Kate is prepared to do the clothes horse bit when the occasion demands, which it is why it is so refreshing to see her in appropriate everyday clothes when she visits a playgroup or a sports club.

Alegrias1 Thu 30-Sept-21 08:33:40

This is a lovely thread where people who are interested in such things can share their pleasure at how this lady looked.

But some people can't help get nasty about others, can they?

So, I'll assume all bets are off.

She looked like the Oscar statuette. Was that intentional?

As for William choosing well, did Kate not get a say?

Chestnut Wed 29-Sept-21 23:20:22

Agreed Katherine looked absolutely beautiful and every inch a Princess. There will be much gnashing of teeth from across the pond I'm sure. ?

NotTooOld Wed 29-Sept-21 22:53:27

I agree, William did choose well. Pity his brother did not do likewise - whoops, sorry, will not mention HnM again. I'm glad someone mentioned Camilla. I thought she also looked very nice but seemed to get hardly a mention in the news items I read. Of course, Kate has all the advantages - youth, beauty, slim figure - but Camilla also dresses well and deserves a mention.

Aveline Wed 29-Sept-21 21:45:35

Kate was absolutely stunning! Easily outshone any of the showbiz stars. As usual she had genuine smiles. She always looks like she's enjoying herself. My goodness William chose well!

Forsythia Wed 29-Sept-21 20:47:31

We are seeing it in October. Looking forward to it very much I have to say. Kate outshone everyone I think and she looked marvellous. Camilla also looked very glamorous. They did the UK proud last night.

SueDonim Wed 29-Sept-21 19:15:54

I thought the DoC looked stunning. I love that dress. She outshone everyone there, though Daniel Craig cut a dash in his pink velvet jacket.

My dd is going to see the film tomorrow. She’s nine months pregnant - the excitement could all be too much! grin

Jaberwok Wed 29-Sept-21 18:57:56

Along with two stylish gentlemen from different generations!

BigBertha1 Wed 29-Sept-21 11:27:11

GillT57 I was planning on wearing the same outfit but probably a coffee in hand as my session is 11am. So far only a handful of seats are booked at that time. Lunch at The Botanist after.

GillT57 Wed 29-Sept-21 10:47:21

We are going to see it tomorrow. I shall be wearing: Jeans by Lands End, top by Seasalt and shall have a glass of NZ Sauvignon Blanc in my right hand. Very excited.

Do you think Prince William had all Kate's bits and pieces in his pocket. What about her hankie or her packet of mints?
She would need both if meeting James Bond surely.
I agree, she did look stunning!

Ah, but did he have her passport?

Josianne Wed 29-Sept-21 10:44:18

Very appropriate dressing for a Bond Premiere.

You read Premier Inn JaneJudge, that could be the next title for a film!

Kate looks stunning.

Both ladies looked wonderful but I think Kate in that dress outshone everyone. A Queen in the making.
