Kate Middleton - fit and athletic

Someone upthread asked for photos to illustrate how her appearance has changed since QEII died and she became Princess of Wales. Here are some examples.

Daytime event 2021 -- less makeup overall, eyes/brows less defined, hair is polished but casual/young looking, unremarkable accessories:



And now -- heavier foundation, significantly heavier eye makeup, brows sharper and more defined, hair is polished and more mature looking, much more expensive clothes (this is McQueen) and showier, more expensive accessories:

Thanks. This was really helpful. I still love that purple suit, though.

I think you're really overanalyzing this. She has natural looking makeup in both pictures. They were taken at different times of the year - looks like the top one was in fall/winter and the bottom one in spring/summer. So of course the looks are different. In both pictures she looks elegant, classy, and beautiful (as usual), but there's no glaring difference between how she dressed when the queen was alive vs. now.

Here's the 2020 BAFTAs (sorry, would have grabbed something more recent but Covid makes that hard). Hair is very prom/bridal. Dress and jewelry obviously high end, but the effect is more casual and young, almost bohemian. Dress is beautiful on her but she looks slouchier in, and the tailoring is fine but not *perfect*:



Compare to the BAFTAs this year. I actually do NOT like this look (I think the earrings and gloves are all wrong) but you can see how much sharper and more mature her styling is. Her face is glowing, her hair looks more Hollywood than bridal updo, her brows are fuller and darker and sharper. Her earrings are actually low end (the infamous $30 Zara earrings) but they are also much more striking and dramatic than the 2020 version. The whole look is more striking, dramatic, and mature:

Again, you're comparing two very different looks. Of course she doesn't look the same every time she steps out. Sometimes the outfit calls for more dramatic or more subtle makeup. The queen has nothing to do with it.

I'm very thin also and had no trouble getting pregnant three times, as well as breastfeeding all three. She is thin and FIT, not thin and sickly looking as some would want us to believe. And her hair is gorgeous.

Meth addicts get pregnant sometimes too. I think she could just be really careful with her diet, but I don't think the fact that she got pregnant means anything in that regard. I also don't think it's just that she's naturally thin and "never gains a pound" as some PP are suggesting, because she was definitely curvier before she started dating William.

So? I was curvier in college than I am now because as I got older I learned how to eat properly and exercise. That has nothing to do with an ED. Some of you are just bizarrely jealous of this naturally gorgeous woman.
