Sorry, but the skirt and stilettos look so silly for an event in the woods.
ReplyDeleteOn top of that, the skirt is truly awful. She'd have done a lot better with slacks and flats. I like her tho, my favorite British royal.
DeleteThis is a result of a briefing that went a bit wrong. I'm sure her office was told that it would be a school-opening, hence she went with skirt and high heels. Once arrived, they also went outdoors and on dirt paths with her, most likely quite unexpectedly. If she'd known more precisely beforehand, she would have worn something more casual.
ReplyDeleteEach one of these visits happens after careful planning and a security briefing that covers every bit of the event including where it will be held, who will attend and the exact list and order of activities that would occur.
DeleteSophie is immediate family member to the Queen. She's under tight security. Sometimes an event might seem to be very "spontaneous" but it never is in fact.
For example, when Kate and Wills made a surprise visit to the Eden Project in Cornwall, well, it wasn't that much of a surprise after all - their security team checked the site previously.
I think she looks terrific. Well put together, no fussy flying hair, and nice colors for her. She is nicely engaged with everyone she meets.
ReplyDeleteI did not like this the first time she wore the outfit. This is a 👎
ReplyDeleteThe skirt is no doubt unflattering and looks like a carpet as much as it did the first time she wore it. The jacket is a very nice piece IMHO though.
DeleteI like the jacket ZL. Would be nice w a pair slacks and boots for this outing into the woods. A little high end mixed w casual slacks. Jacket may need to be little longer for my vision.
Delete...exactly...thumbs up...
ReplyDeleteLove the jacket, the skirt not so much !
ReplyDeleteWe didn't like this skirt the first time she wore it - no improvement this time. The jacket is quite nice and would have looked fine with pants and more appropriate shoes.
ReplyDeleteHow happy and relaxed and friendly she looks. She does a great job.
Not a clever idea of Mrs. Beckham, that skirt. And I bet she would have been happier with land-lady boots out there. Damn glad when the posing was over and she could turn towards home...
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful person! She does amazing work, and this photo collection lifts my heart! Love all the shots of her with the various youth. Thx!
ReplyDeleteThe skirt looks much nicer with a toning jacket and shoes. I like the look this time.
