I agree. However, in this case, she should have worn a different color hosiery to minimize the contrast. Because she was in a monotone outfit, her dressers should have provided her with hosiery that would not be such a stark contrast to the outfit. Basically, her feet clash. Otherwise, she looks lovely as always!


This is so crazy. Her feet are fine. Her leg length is fine. Wow. I’m no fan of hers but she looks great.

Eek, that’s a lot of chest showing for William at the Celtics game! Two buttons is too much.

I was thinking
1) Looks spot-on for BOSTON
2) Hair in a low bun or high pony would have looked great
3) She should have worn navy kitten heel booties because showing her ankle makes her legs look short

I mean if carrying babies is ALL you have to do

She’s not short legged, these pants are simply awful.


She most definitely is short legged (long waisted). She's tall and thin and still looks amazing, but her legs are comparatively short in proportion to her torso.

Photo of Kate and Williams at the Celtics game. Looks like Kate has a capsule wardrobe. LOL.

I actually think it's a great suit, or at least, it looks great on her. The pants are difficult but she looks good (and not long-waisted or short-legged, which she is). And the jacket is a great look.

I actually agree that a high ponytail would have looked good with the outfit. Ponytails are not just for working out, despite what DCUM thinks. Kate wears them a lot for fancier occasions

The hose is awful. Why is it yellow?!

Otherwise I love the suit.

I read an article that said it’s navy. I think it looks black in the photos. In any case she looks fabulous for just getting off an international flight!


Lol she had a hair and makeup team on the flight, and was on a private airplane, not sitting in coach with the fasten seatbelt light on the whole time because of turbulence. You'd look fabulous too.


Actually, they flew British Airways.

It’s not the same book—she’s not the future monarch, she’s the future consort. So she doesn’t want to outshine William. Remember that was always a criticism of Diana, that she drew attention away from Charles?


That was Charles’s problem. By all accounts, William actually loves and adores his wife. I’m sure he is pleased for her when she gets attention and doesn’t care if it detracts from him.


Which accounts?

Well, there’s William personally, and then there’s The Firm, the institution. You think she doesn’t know the rules? She follows them perfectly. She literally walks one step behind her husband at formal occasions—you don’t think she gets that you don’t outshine your husband:
1) Especially at daytime events (evening dress is another matter)
2) While you are still in mourning? They’re going to be keeping it somber for a while. I’m surprised so many of you don’t get that now is not the time for a “pop of color.”


Plus the BRF is now dealing with the scandal over the racist "where are you from" lady at that event with Camilla the other day. So they are in mourning and also making extra effort not to put a foot wrong or attract unwanted attention, especially not in the US where M**** & Harry are relatively popular and there is some perception of the family having been racist towards them.

She and Will flew commercial on British Airways.
