Wow.. I never thought I'd ever say this but I think I might just like Beatrices dress more that Kate's. It's a very hippie 70s style with the widening tiers below the waist and while there's nothing wrong with that, I feel she could have done better with something more modern; I do prefer the version of it that she wore to the BAFTA awards in 2017 and the way she wore it there. Off-the-shoulder sexy then and more mature/conservative (?) look now.
ReplyDeleteHowever if it is a re-do of a previous bespoke gown then kudos to her for that.
Gee'nTee
Princess Beatrice looks lovely;her partner looks handsome. Kate is happy smiley, dress pretty suits her slim figure;she doesn't look frumpy.
ReplyDeleteLove love love it! Hair, jewelry and the gown... awesome. The tight-fitting bodice and the voluminous skirt gives it a ball gown look. I also prefer the sleeves and this neckline above the version from the BAFTA'S. To me, it looks more regal and sophisticated. Bravo Kate! Her attitude and warmth are great as always.
ReplyDeleteI also like Beatrice here, lovely dress and the colour suits her very much!
This a great rework of a gown. She looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteCatherine looks like a painting herself. Absolutely beautiful!
ReplyDeleteA painting... what a nice reference! I agree with you!
Deleteagain no coat? no scarf? I am freezing when looking at her, and others before. I guess she has 2 tops interchangeable. I prefer the one with short sleeves.
ReplyDeleteDo you think this is completely different dress than the older one or is it been modified? The whole upper part looks very different.
ReplyDeleteI for one think it has been modified. I'm not a seamstress and I have really no idea how they manage it because it's a difficult and delicate thing to do. But we also have seen modified dresses on Diana, Maxima and Beatrix. So it is certainly possible. They definitely deliver an excellent piece of work, it's almost an art! Glad it's not my job though ;-)
DeleteAs I wrote, my opinion is 2 interchangeable tops.

ReplyDeleteI really like Eugenie's dress. Nice colour and and very well fitting model on her.
ReplyDeleteKate´s had the neckline of that dress changed, and it´s a huge improvement. Much better than both the original designer´s version and that off-shoulder one with those weird slim straps that looked very wrong. Now, the bodice of the dress is much more balanced, but I still don´t like the skirt. I don´t get that line around her hips. It´s the weirdest placement, and it just unnecessarily emphasizes her narrow hips. I wouldn´t have like that line on anyone´s figure. It looks wrong and uncomfortable, and I hope that that line will have been subjected to an alteration the next time the dress comes around.
ReplyDeleteEugenie´s dress has potential but looks very bulky in the skirt. Nice colour and rich fabric though.
I prefer this version of Catherine's Alexander McQueen gown rather than the way it originally was (the off the shoulder version).
ReplyDeleteI just saw the price of Beatrice's dress: 5670€
ReplyDeleteMaryT: Yeah, words fail me...
DeleteMoney does not make style.
DeleteKate can wear just about anything and look good. I just don't care to much for this dress.I do like the color of Pss Bearice dress also her friend looks good.
ReplyDeleteThe cut and the missing pattern do nothing for Princess Beatrice. She can do much better.
ReplyDeleteDuchess Kate is looking beautiful in this outfit. The cut underlines her perfect figure.
ReplyDeletePs Beatrice dress is lovely.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 9.54PM: From head to waist, yes. But downwards: No...
DeleteMe gusta el vestido original de KATHY más importante,más mujer
ReplyDeleteMe gusta MUCHÍSIMO como se vistió Beatriz!moderna,hermoso color
ReplyDeleteI really don't like Kate's dress today. The shape is not right for her body type.
ReplyDeleteWould you mind to explain why, please?
DeleteHerzogin Catherine - wieder einmal bezaubernd !!
