Alexander McQueen Military Dress
Duchess of Cambridge's outfit looks marvellozs. Just love it.
ReplyDeleteKate's suit is fantastic, so classy and chic! Her boots are a great addition to the whole look. Camilla looks quite nice in this shade of green. How lovely to see these four out together!!
ReplyDeleteShelley
Totally agree
DeleteMagnifique Kate dans cet ensemble style militaire ; un peu plus court à moitié-mollet, cela aurait été plus que parfait ; ravissantes boucles d'oreilles de « Mappin & Webb » qu’elle a l’air d’affectionner ; elle porte souvent un médaillon du même modèle !
ReplyDeleteI would also have preferred it shorter.
DeleteC'est sympa comme tout cette sortie à 4! c'est rare et très appréciable. Catherine a tellement de style!
ReplyDeleteKates outfit certainly has a military look to it appropriate to the visit. In the standing photos, the silhouette looks good, but to me it is still a long column of dark blue further elongated by the black boots. Wish there was something in there to brighten it up slightly and break the dark column, like a brooch or a little piece of colour peeking under the collar. In the videos I've watched, I wasn't a fan the way the outfit looked when she walked, but I will agree that it is fitted very well to her figure.

Good to see Team Work 👋
ReplyDeleteI wish Duchess Kate had a different colour other than black, maybe her oufit would be more appealing. Camilla dressed as usual.
J.
Euh... it is blue!
DeleteThis used to be Harry's job, supporting injured service men. He is missed, but good to see other members of the royal family filling in his job.
ReplyDeleteBoth Duchess look well dressed for the event
Miss W
well said!
DeletePrince Harry did a good hob - he brought fun. These fab 4 are doing a good job as well.
DeleteI like the jacket but it puckers an awful lot for a bespoke piece.
ReplyDeleteAdorable and suitable dress. But its diffucult talking about fashion seeing all these young guys, wounded and handicapped during useless wars
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
Deletewhat a wonderful event :-)
ReplyDeleteDid you see the video on dailymail?
It's soooo funny.
William is sitting in a wheelchair from the basketball team, trying to throw the basketball in the basket but he fails several times.
Charles first gives the wheelchair a push nearer to the basket,
later comfortss his son by touching his shoulders and is finally cheering at his son.
Such a great vid *g*
Kate and Camilla look very nice :-)
It's great to see that four on a joint event
I don't like her with this hairstyle and dress. She looks exhausted and old. Sorry to say this. I never liked her hair like that. It looks soooo very oldfashioned. Not girl, not woman...as we Germans say: Nicht Fleisch, nicht Fisch.
ReplyDeleteShe can do much better. Love the chemistry between the four. Frieda
Great to see both couples at the same event. They all seem to work together well. I like Kates outfit great look. Camilla looks very nice, nice strong color of the coat not a fan of the blouse.
ReplyDeleteAt the risk of being accused of body shaming, I will say that Kate looks way to thin!
ReplyDeleteThis tailored elongated, monotonous coloured Suit makes her even look thinner and is not her most flattering look. Hope she is healthy and not unduly stressed out with everything thats going on.
Camilla is dressed appropriately as always.
I‘ve thought the same. Kate is normally enviable slim but she‘s been thin lately. Everyone reacts differently to stress ...many gain weight and some lucky one loose it.

DeleteJanine, I agree with you and share your concern.
DeleteCouldn’t agree more. The outfit further exacerbates it. I too hope she’s alright. My instinct says it isn’t healthy for anyone to be this thin. She may come from a good genes family, but if you look at pictures of Popa, she is fit but not thin borderline unhealthy. Fit and athletic is one thing, ultra skinny is a different one.
DeleteLH
It is as inappropriate to constantly bring up Kate's weight as it would be to mention that Camilla needs to take off some weight. If she has any medical issues, her doctor(s) will take excellent care of her. She also has a very caring and involved family that would be there for her. Speculation from the peanut gallery is nothing more than gossip. She is naturally thin, and her outfit is making her look more slender than she typically does.
DeleteI think she is totally healthy, she just has this very thin, straight and tall body type. And these very tight clothes are not the best choice for her. -Siri
Deletelove to see them all tougether! wonderful Kate and charming Camilla
ReplyDeleteA heartwarming visit. I hope we see the new "Fab Four" together more often. Fashion-wise, they all look very nice.
ReplyDeleteCatherine's dress is closed up to her chin, I think this is why it looks so column-like. She is wrapped in dark blue up to her face. I am sure the military vibe of the dress would have been perfectly noticable without this high-up closure. A hint, a suggestion, is often better than a full copy. (Ann.)
ReplyDeleteIt’s great to see the four of them together. They seem to enjoy each other’s company very much. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteNice to see them all together and looking good. I thought spiky heels were damaging to a gym floor. ~Rose~
ReplyDeleteOnly if your name is Meghan.
DeleteG
Good one G, you really made me laugh out loud with that one.
DeleteAgree 100% with you G.
DeleteI thought the same thing G, and remember how much hate she got for doing the same thing Kate is doing.
DeleteLike Camilla's green coat and the suit underneath--very much her style. Catherine's outfit is elegant but, as others have said, it's very dark with nothing to break up the colour block (remember how great she looked with the red scarf and navy coat last week). She is naturally very slim, lucky girl, but I agree with Janine that this makes her look extremely thin and is not so flattering. Good to see the four of them out together
ReplyDeleteYes AnnieM, Kate's outfit is dark. People are freaking out because somebody dresses in dark clothes once in a while. So what if someone likes a totally dark outfit once in a while. Nothing wrong with dark. ~Rose~
DeleteHI, Rose See other comments above and below. Most comments seem fairly complimentary to me. Don't think anyone is freaking out at the dark outfit, merely commenting that a pop of colour somewhere might have enlivened it.
DeleteThe outfits today were appropriate, well implemented, however as others have stated, Catherine's outfit was too dark, it gapped across the chest area and needed a pop of color. She looked a little tired, or maybe it was just the 'moment the photo was taken', that she appeared tired.... JT
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ladies and together with their husbands for a great event. As some have said, Kate is thin, but she works out and eats healthy food. I think she is a "healthy" and glowing thin. With her busy life to mother of three small children and a busy schedule as a royal, she burns off calories easily. I would love to be that thin!
ReplyDeleteI do not understand when someone chooses to wear an all black outfit they should have to accessorize it with a pop of color. The designer obviously was going for a monochromatic look. Also I think that a brooch would distract from the buttons....Do you know how many ladies or men wear all black. Just saying!
ReplyDeleteexactly
DeleteThis was a fantastic visit. Very uplifting. Love the bag the Duchess of Cambridge is carrying, its divine. The Duchess of Cornwell, looks lovely a nice soft outfit, very much her go to, she looks great.
ReplyDeleteWonderful event, not liking the totality of the outfit, at first glance I thought she looked like a somber Mary Poppins. I think both pieces could be separately combined, the jacket with a creamy or winter white pair of wide leg pants, even soft blue, or a vivid floral skirt. Same goes for the skirt.
ReplyDeleteWell, reading all reactions I think Kate’s suit is military dark blue, not black, a mistake often made, and it is sort of severe, but I think it suits her. It emphasizes her slender figure. With their visit they bring surely joy to the handicapped men, and that is the most important here. The style of the R.F. has remarkably changed since the depressing events of the last months!
ReplyDeleteDuchess of Cambridge is gorgeous!! Outfit and boots are spot on!! Kate almost never puts a foot wrong!! Love her hair too!! Duchess of Cornwall looks good too and I'm so happy to see all four of them enjoying themselves!!
ReplyDeleteLike both pieces but separately, Kate needs a pop of color, too dark too long. Nice to see them having a good time.
ReplyDeleteEl traje es demasiado estricto. No veo necesario este atuendo solo porque sean militares.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure I like Kates outfit, but it is very appropriate for the event, and a sophisticated way to honor the late designer Alexander McQueen.
