William and Catherine, Prince and Princess of Wales

[prettyprincess]

I love Kate's classy, classic style. She isn't a fashion model or actress. She isn't dressing for attention (hello meat dress). She isn't going to be embarrassed by any of her photos in 20 years. I agree with @gracekelly that anything with big sleeves or voluminous skirts would be overwhelming on her frame. Anything showing too much skin would also say "celebrity", not royalty, and would distract from whatever event she was attending.

I am curious though as to what trendy, edgy choices people would like to see her try? Any bloggers have specific suggestions?

Not a blogger here, but maybe some sexier dresses, less pastels, less pussy bow blouses, show a hint more skin. Less matronly. Maybe some Versace or Alexandre Vauthier, maybe some sexy D&G dresses.
Shes only 40, she can afford to take some fashions risks. Sure it might not “age well” 20 years from now, but who cares, you’re only young once. We already know she can do the classic style, switch it up a bit.

A nice article on Kate's outfits in Boston, all gorgeous imo.

The Princess of Wales pulled out all the sartorial stops, showing out in a series of designer styles ranging from sharp suits to patterned dresses.

I’m not a blogger but I would love to see her try something unexpected and edgy. Like a tuxedo dress with heels and a smoky eye. Show off the legs a bit. Maybe to a movie premiere. Obviously not to the coronation.

@bottleofRed I think it is always tricky to imply that someone is from somewhere else based entirely on their physical appearance. I think the additional complicating factor here was that she rejected the answer given to her a couple times and laughed.

No that's definitely not good.

That would all be fine if she was a wealthy aristo or married to a very wealthy man. The fact is the she is The Princess of Wales and will be Queen one day. Her entire life is documented. She has managed to find the balance and always looks as elegant.

Yes, the dress "wore" her not because of the tightness - the color was too overwhelming for her to pull off. Not to mention, she has a long torso and not-so-defined waist and that elastic band looking material on her waist along with that neon color is drawing attention to that proportion, making her look boxy and less defined. She has nice broad defined clavicles/neck/shoulders and the choker cut her short and drew the attention away from one of her best bodily assets. The dress camouflaged all of her best features and accentuated what some would consider our less favorable areas (we all have them) - the opposite of what clothes should do. Off the shoulder long sleeve skin-tight dresses are difficult to pull off if your frame is smaller and more narrow. If this dress was the same color but a-line, it would look completely different and suit her frame better.

A not-so-defined waist? I have to chuckle at that because she has the teeniest, most nipped in waist I’ve ever seen on any adult woman!

I think lots of us are guilty of asking where a person is from and not in a racist way but genuine curiosity. I'm not very well traveled so if I hear a different accent , I am curious to learn about where the person came from what their home country is like etc.
Some people are ok with this; I know my grandmother loved to discuss her family origins. Other people don't, like my husband's grandmother who was not ok with discussing her family history.
I once had to interview a classmate's grandmother about her family history and she was very pleased that someone took an interest.
I'm not sure when it's ok to ask and when not.

It’s ok to ask when it’s your job at an extremely official event where all attendees are briefed extensively on what and what not to do

Laughed as she knew her plan was playing out exactly as she planned it like she planned her fake outfit fake name ? The woman who refused to help a victim of female violence because she was biracial and privileged

Sexy and skin is not royal - she isn’t a celeb

It can be if it’s tastefully done. For example, Queen Letizia has had some really sexy looks. I’ve seen her in leather dresses, asymmetric cut out dresses, bold prints, and she still looks like royalty. Kate prematurely ages herself in some of her choices.

 

[prettyprincess]

She looks sexy, modern, and youthful without looking vulgar.
Kate has that killer bod and would look incredible in any of these looks.

She's the Princess of Wales, not a celebrity or model. She dresses perfectly and appropriately for her job.

Absolutely, she is not a celebrity even if she has celebrity moments.

Love her style and figure. Well, except for that leather skirt and burst of orange. Thanks for the eye-candy!
