| On June 21, 2019, Queen Elizabeth II, Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson, Duchess of York, Timothy Taylor and Lady Helen Taylor attended the 4th day of the Royal Ascot 2019, held at Ascot Racecourse in Ascot. The Queen has attended every day of every race meeting for the last 64 years and her arrival at the head of the royal procession traditionally heralds the start of racing. |
Oh Sarah...... No comment is kinder than any I could make
ReplyDeleteSo true, Lizzie. All I can say about Sarah is "oh dear, oh dear, oh dear."
DeleteAgree: "oh Sarah...."
DeleteDitto!
DeleteYes, our blog is very nice towards her : only acceptable pictures! There are much worse pictures around...
DeleteFergie - OMG! Looks like she had just stopped cleaning the house and raced to Ascot. Without changing clothes!!
ReplyDeleteAgree. Worst she has ever had.
DeleteThe Queen looks amazing in this colour. Love the hat, and love, love, love the brooch. Well who wouldn’t! Sarah Ferguson rarely gets it right and this is no exception. The dress pulls badly at the bustline, the stitching at the pockets looks puckered, and the purple shoes, from what I can see, go with neither the dress or the other accessories.
ReplyDeleteYellow and purple do go together.
DeleteThe Queen: Lovely in pink! That colour is beautiful and I like the variation in the styling of her coat. Nice feathery hat too.
ReplyDeleteFergie: Gosh... she could have made a better effort. That looks like a house dress. However that yellow and the teal (or is it green?) are a great combination and the possibilities are endless. Pity she didn't do more with it.
Day 4 of Royal Ascot. The Queen looks classy as always. I like Lady helen Taylors dress, but not the orange bow on her right shoulder. I don't know what to say about the bright yellow dress of Sara's. There is a post on the Royal Forums by a Poster LILYFLO post # 308, she say's it best. It is not a mean post but a bit on the funny side. Check it out.
ReplyDeleteThe only thing I could say about Sarah s look is very nice yellow color .
ReplyDeleteRavi de vous voir.
ReplyDeleteSarah, bless her heart. I don't get it. At Royal Ascot looking a hot mess. You would think someone would pull her aside. What an embarrassment.
ReplyDeleteI love Sarah, but boy O boy she just cannot get this Dress department right
ReplyDeleteThere are simply no words, which is so much nicer than anything I could have tried to say about Sarah........ The Queen, looks lovely as ever. :)
ReplyDeleteSarah in yellow green and purple, amazing what one come up with blindfolded. But one has to love her for her effort of trying or not. Beside's that she dearly LOVES her children and her ex husband and that say's something. Love is more important then matching cloths. You go Sarah.
ReplyDelete@2:03, I am wondering, why does loving one's children and spouse has anything to do with having a horrible taste in the clothing department?
DeleteTotally agree Cherry Blossom. I love my children and hubby too but this outfit on Sarah is all wrong. I like yellow and purple but that hat throws it all off.
DeletePeople continually make comments about the personalities and actions of the other royals on this blog. Why shouldn't Anon 2:03 be allowed to do the same?
DeleteI couldn't agree more with the above comments. Actually this is almost like a joke. She is wearing ill-fitting clothes, nothing matches, her hair is a mess, and why in the world does she think that purple shoes look good with what she is wearing? I can't figure her out ever, and truthfully I am still always surprised to see her around the rest of the Royal Family.
ReplyDeleteTo be fair yellow and purple usually go well together......usually. It's too bad the dress doesn't fit her well. I wish we had a better look at the sandals. They look like Tevas.
ReplyDeleteLSU colors, but with the green it’s Mardi Gras;)
DeleteThe queen looks very radiant. Lady Helen Taylor looks good too. Sarah is Sarah and she makes me smile. She maybe is terribly dressed but it’s one the reasons I find her so endearing.
ReplyDeleteSarah's purple shoes are great. I wish she would have chosen a purple dress. It could have been great with the green accessories and she looks lovely in purple with her red hair. That being said, I think it is great to see her at Ascot with Andrew!
ReplyDeleteSarah! Oh boy! Sans commentaires!
ReplyDelete*chuckles*... the hat of Sarah DoY is not bad at all, as is her clutch. But then there's the rest of her outfit, which is just badly pulled together. HM The Queen impeccable as always (I loved most her grey outfit embellished with gold she wore on Thurday!) and Lady Helen does a good job as well, except the sleeves which are too big and the orange thingy dangling on one side of her dress.
ReplyDeleteHer Majesty’s outfit is cheerful and elegant. I am impressed that she brought out four new hats this Ascot. Four different styles too. And I missed her wearing bright colours. Even if I appreciate the variety (and the ‘risks’ she took during the first three days). But the ostrich feather is the big surprise here. I don’t think she has worn a hat adorned like that in many years (except for the Garter hat, of course).
ReplyDeleteI love how lady Helen finds something on-trend and still appropriate often. I actually really enjoy her outfit overall, it’s Ascott after all, not a religious service. Way to go!
And then there’s Sarah. The colour combination is great and could have been amazing if she had chosen first of all the appropriate size. So much stark yellow needs some softer details though. Like a little flowery scarf that combines the purple, teal and yellow. It could have been fantastic! Maybe next year.

Unfortunately, poor Sarah has not told anyone how unfavorable the dress is for her. And then the colorful accessories. Is there no mirror at her home? And then her daughters also inherited the grotty fashion taste of her mother. Very sad........
ReplyDeleteSome day people have to look a bit harder for something positive.
ReplyDeleteThe Queen looks fantastic in this colour, great! I love Ascot, we see her and the family so often in so wonderful dresses.
ReplyDeleteLady Helen Taylors dress is really lovely - when I ignore that red/orange 'thing'. I don't know what this should be, but without this, it's a fantastic outfit in a very nice colour and a beautiful hat with it, she looks great.
Sarah.. well.. I'm ok with the colour of the dress. I'm also not that bad with the shape of the dress itself, maybe a bit to casual, but I saw Pics where it looked really nice.
I'm ok with the colours of hat and handbag but I don't like, that the hat is not really a hat, it has open space on the head (sorry, can't say it better), I saw this on pics of her usual very deep curtsy. But what I really, really can't understand is, why she choose purple shoes with this outfit... yellow, petrol and purple, wth? She's not star of a circus..
btw: Andrew looked very handsome in his suit.
The Queen looks fabulous, love the bright pink of hat and coat. Lady Helen looks very elegant minus the orangey red thing. Sarah I could almost have forgiven if it fitted properly- but it doesn't.
ReplyDeleteSarah with uncovered arms. So, no Royal Enclose for her?
ReplyDeleteLook at her daughter Eugenie on her two Ascot appearances this year! Her arms were even more bared... the dress code for Royal Enclosure only says that Spaghetti straps (or no straps at all, as well as halternecks, or one-shoulder tops) are not allowed. Also no fascinators, or too small headbands, hats do have to have a minimum diameter of 10 centimetres. Knees should be covered or at last being touched by the seam. Allowed are jumpsuits and also pantsuits. Midriff needs to be covered as well. That's all.
DeleteThe dress has short sleeves which is all that is needed for the Royal Enclosure
DeleteContrary to other opinions: I like the colours of Sarahs outfit. Unfortunately she has no sense for the right size and these short sleeves are extremely unflattering for her. But who says that a pink flowing dress is more dressy , especially with an old-fashioned hat?
ReplyDeleteCan't see what's especially old-fashioned about the hat.
DeleteC.B. Loving ones children has nothing to do with a bad fashion sense. What I meant to say is,that it is more important to see the kindness of the person then what she or he covers up with.How a person is towards others is way more impressive,then ill fitting and miss matched cloth. Sarah seems to be a warm and caring person. So I commented on her fashion which would be OK with other colors. But what she is a warmhearted person I can overlook her fashion flaws. I hope this will be more clear. Thank you for your reply.
ReplyDeleteYou certainly have every right to comment on subjects other than fashion...happens on this blog all the time.
DeleteDie Queen sieht wirklich bezaubernd aus , in ihrem rosa Mantel und Kleid : Ihr Hut ist einfach traumhaft !!
ReplyDeleteIn virtually every picture taken of Sarah shows her pointing the "G" on her purse towards the cameras. Obviously a payday.Wonder if the other pieces of the outfit are the same.
