[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I just don’t understand with all her natural beauty, style, stylists, resources, etc, it was decided that going to the US meant dressing like Hillary Clinton. [/quote]

Because it is more important to her and her family that she be "appropriate" and represent the BRF in a restrained and conservative way, than to be stylish and make news with her clothes. Like Hillary Clinton, she is more interested in doing her job well than in exciting you with her clothes. There are many, many actresses and socialites and influencers and models who would be thrilled to have you look at each of their outfits and buy the clothes they are wearing and get excited about their style. An entire industry revolves around this. Kate is not a part of that industry and has a different job that is not actually about being a fashion plate and she wants to do that job well, which means no exciting fashion. Ever. She can wear very pretty evening gowns when appropriate, but otherwise it's conservative suits and matching hats and classic colors and prints forever. It's part of the gig, it's her literal job.[/quote]
But she looked better last week. The sudden change in the US looks so (mis)calculated. [/quote]

In what way? The problem is that you think her goal in the US is to land in fashion magazines and garner more American fans, or to compete with MM. Kate doesn't care about any of that and neither does the BRF.

Her goal is to support her husband as future monarch, maintain a positive relationship with a foreign power that is also a close ally, and to demonstrate the BRF's interest in charitable good works. That's it. None of that requires a stylish wardrobe. It requires her to look appropriate, say the right things, and avoid any scandal or controversy. Thus: tailored suits in muted colors, conservative dresses, non-flashy accessories, impeccably styled hair and makeup that are consistent with the way people expect her to look (nothing exciting, no new directions, no suprises).

Their last foreign trip was pretty terrible and garnered a ton of bad press at a time when the BRF was already fielding accusations of racism. And this trip comes during a scandal involving racist behavior from one of QEII's old ladies in waiting, as well as potential accusations of racist behavior coming out of Harry's book or the new Netflix documentary. The calculation here is: DO NOT MAKE WAVES. That's what she's doing.[/quote]

Within the limits of what you describe, she could 100% look sharper than she did yesterday.

And you're not being truthful when you deny that beauty and style are absolutely a part of the package for soft power. I mean people didn't revere Jackie Kennedy for her ideas you know.[/quote]

For instance, this outfit is conservative and dignified but also sharp and stylish:

This is gorgeous! Love that coat. She has the perfect height to pull it off
