The headpiece looks frightful.

I agree. I don’t get why she would wear this when she has so much beautiful jewelry she already owns or can borrow. This looks like something on the shelf at David’s Bridal

Or Christmas garland from Michaels

Perfection.

How old is she? She looks amazing and vibrant. I want to look that good when I’m her age.


I agree, this is lovely. Who are these people?

Crown Prince and Princess of Denmark.

If like me you wanted to see the whole thing it’s here:

Princess Mary has definitely found the fountain of youth. Wow.

+1 Perfection. This is what she wore to a pre-coronation event. Note the turquoise on her purse and belt!

And the woman with the sword

Absolutely a consensus: Queen of Bhutan (Jetsun Pema), purple dress lady (Princess Mary of Denmark), hot kilt man (Major Johnny Thompson I think), queen in the long blue dress (Masenate Mohato Seeiso Queen of Lesotho), woman with the sword (Penny Mordaunt). All completely gorgeous.

I like the kilts but I feel like the ridiculous robes worn by the royal family just underscores how antiquated and irrelevant this whole system is. Kate’s is so over the top with the ribbons and flag colors that it looks like a parrot oiece. It’s like ridiculous cosplay … but real. None of this is making me regret the revolution, that’s for sure. And I think if I were a commonwealth citizen I would really be wondering about this whole system’s relevance.

This little statement makes you sound really dumb, PP!

I'm American and I agree with you about the irrelevance of the BRF. But the cosplay is fun to watch.

Friends, it's not cosplay when it's real. Those of you throwing around the word "cosplay" jus sound so stupid.

I think she had their dogs embroidered on her dress.

I really feel for her. Imagine being a 70 year old woman and having everything you do be wrong for 40 years.

She never claimed to be some fashion maven or classic beauty. And people hate her for that (yes other things as well).

She was dressed appropriately. That’s all that matters.

I hadn't noticed the dogs on her dress! Oh, I really love that. Here's more: https://www.townandcountrymag.com/society/tradition/a43814349/queen-camilla-coronation-gown-rescue-dogs/

I find this odd and rather childish, but yet I am on board with it! Why not embroider what she likes the most?

I thought the dogs might also be a nod to QE2, that's what they bonded over.

I can ask this since it is a fashion thread - most of these women are wearing sky high stiletto heels - how??? I really do not understand how women walk in those for more than a few minutes without turning an ankle and/or being in immense pain.

I loved the Queen of Lesotho’s dress.

Queen of Lesotho

She is absolutely stunning. Just beautiful.

+1000 this queen wins the thread.

Practice and well-fitted shoes. I used to wear insanely high heels to work (when I was younger lol) and I didn't find them terribly hard to walk and I still have well-fitted heels that are more comfortable than poorly-fitted flats. You get used it, in short. I've only ever sprained my ankle when I was wear sneakers.

It also helps a lot when you are driven everywhere, and right up to the front door, and then once out of the car there are often carpets laid everywhere to cushion the floors. It's still a lot of time in shoes that would personally make me wince just putting them on, but I think the lifestyle helps to make it easier. But yes, also lots of practice and understanding how to walk in the shoes to minimize the pain and stress on joints (a lot of people walk and stand with poor posture and alignment so that when we put on a pair of high heels, it actually makes it more painful than it needs to be because we are pushing our hips forward and locking our knees, due to week lower backs and tight hamstrings).

Swoon! She is stunning. Love everything about the look

The black knee high socks and loafers are jarring

You do know it's a traditional outfit right? It's like b$itching about Santa's red suit or the Pope's robes.

Or the robes and crowns at the coronation?

Or alllll the kilts, worn with even more ridiculous footwear accoutrements.

I am 100% embroidering my dog and my 4 cats on my gown when I am crowned Queen of England.
