They say their alliance is coincidental, which I call bs on. Royalists in France are few and far between but absolutely nuts. I do like the back of her dress though

Kateβs tour looks seemed more professionally styled, as usual, with a lot of forethought given to historical context (ie. at least two throwbacks to Diana looks) and the settings. Also, great tailoring. Thatβs the bigger contrast, to me. I get that Meghanβs tour was supposed to be less formal, but there were times the looks (Harryβs included) werenβt right for the occasion. (Eg., meeting Mandelaβs widow.) THIS IS NOT A PERSONAL CRITICISM OF THE DUCHESS OF SUSSEX. And yes, I know, postpartum body β thatβs not what Iβm talking about here β Iβm talking about purely from a fashion standpoint.* Itβs a failure of her stylist. Or of her people for not convincing her to hire a stylist, if thatβs the issue. And I realize that Kate has more resources at her disposal, but Meghanβs are more than adequate. *she types from her fuzzy lavender bathrobe Eta Tom & Lorenzo feel me: tomandlorenzo.com/2019/10/sussex-royal-tour-meghan-markle-and-prince-har/

Iβm reflecting on my earlier post a little more. I get that they are trying to project a more casual image and make the conversation less about her fashion choices. I really applaud that and hope they keep it up. I just feel like thereβs a better way to do it.
Tom and Lorenzo are fond of saying Kate is βbarreling toward becoming a figureheadβ and not a real human. There must be a happy medium between the two styles.
I have confidence that Meghan is going to knock our socks off at some point.

And there was absolute desperation to see something other than a coat dress. ππ She found some pants! It was a revelation! I just hope she burns the Indiana Jones get up. She's so pretty and young! I literally want to see her in ANYTHING except old lady clothes. It's not too much to ask! I think as the future queen we're not really going to get many exciting clothing choices from Kate. It's why I need Meghan to step it up, LOL.

In distant royal news.. The former Imperial House of France and the House of Hapsburg have united once again as Napoleon Bonaparte's heir has married the great-great-great niece of the French Emperor's wife. They married at invalides in Paris, where Napoleon is buried I have no idea who these people are (Napoleonβs great great grandson?) but this dress is spectacular! Love the shoulder/cape detail and the veil.

I donβt love the dress but her veil is gorgeous. Agreed. Her dress is a bit too fern-like for me. But I love it for her.

The brides dress is oscar de la renta. I prefer it without the cape but the catholic ceremony probably required covered shoulders

I prefer it without the cape but the catholic ceremony probably required covered shoulders I also prefer without cape and am glad we have this picture, because I was wondering what it would look like with just the gown. Thanks for tracking it down! And I still love that tiara. Perhaps more than most of the tiaras we see.

I didn't love the dress at first but it's growing on me. It's definitely different than the typical ballgown-style dress.

I just watched the Meghan Markle video clip again. I do genuinely just want to hug her and let her cry in my boobs.
Question to Europeans or people who just know about this...are there ever discussions about advertiser boycotts in the Daily Mail or the Sun? Or whatever channel Piers Morgan blabs his nonsense? Are boycotts a thing in the UK?

I love that dress. It's over the top and not something I would pick for myself or expect to see at any wedding I'd ever attend, but I don't want to see royals/royal adjacents in lace mermaid gowns with subtle beading or a tulle ball gown with a crystal belt.

Yes! This is exactly how I feel. Iβd never wear it but I love it on the bride in this situation. Thatβs actually how I feel about most of Maximaβs outfits.

And it photographs very well. I love it. I donβt love the cape but it serves a purpose. She ditched it for the reception and pictures.
