Just because Helen Mirren is a magical creature and can wear dresses like this doesn't mean it's aging Kate! It's gorgeous and very Hollywood leading lady on red carpet. Also, she's 39! She's on the doorstep of middle-aged!Rude. I feel as a 39-year-old I can say this. But I look forward to all the posts that I am wrong in that thinking. Lol.

Once again I like the turtleneck. I also like wearing turtlenecks so there’s that. It’s also 10c where there were today so it makes lots of sense.
The purple is great, I wouldn’t be able to wear it but it works for her.

Helen Mirren is older lady goals for me. She always manages to look both young and age appropriate at the same time

I like the purple suit and the black roll neck but not under the suit. Maybe a black blouse would have been better, but not a ruffle neck all the way buttoned one that Kate favours, like an open v neck one I love the color of the purple suit, but the undertone doesn't match the black turtle neck at all and distracts from the overall look. Personally, I'd rather see her in a more current pant style (wide leg, bootcut, trouser leg, etc), but I could over look that if the wore a different shirt. A non-ruffled silk would be my first choice.

Look real talk, she’s extremely thin and I’m guessing doesn’t go for vees bc she doesn’t want press speculation on her clavicle. Diana got a lot of it. There are some similarities there. A boat neck, cashmere shell would have been a better choice. Part of the issue with the turtleneck for me is that it seems one size too small and distracts from the lines of the suit.

Personally for me I like the clean neck to waist turtle neck look. I think the others would be too fussy under the blazer, and also don’t solve the clavicle issue which is now a big part of me theory on her style. It’s something I’ve noticed.

I'll admit that I don't love Kate's gold dress because it looks like something straight out of Dynasty or Falcon Crest. BUT- she looks great, it's super appropriate for the event and I applaud her for going outside her normal and taking a risk. The cape saves the dress for me because that is what updates it from the shoulder pad look of the 80's for me. I'll take this over many of her other red carpet looks all day, any day.

Overall I like the purple but there is something about the cut I don’t like. I think it is a combination of the length with the high waist.

I'm guilty of doing that with Letizia. I get it. Well there’s just some elephant in the room stuff happening with both of them. I’m not looking to call anyone out or diagnose, but I think we can be honest about what’s right in front of us. What elephant in the room? An eating disorder?

As someone officially closer to 50 than 40 with my last birthday, 39 is basically a teenager.

Back to Kate - I love the vintage 70s Bond Girl glam with a smattering of Alexis + Krystle Dynasty sparkle and a cape that is very now and yet also timeless.

Surprised I'm not seeing the Diana comparisons. It's Danielle Craig's last performance as Bond. In Diana's pic, it was Roger Moore's last performance as Bond. (Both Bond movie premiers) There has to be a historical stylist to make these matches. It's a loose match (silver vs. gold) but both are super sparkly and tie in the middle. I'm not slamming because she does look 🔥🔥🔥 but it does have Diana vibes.

What elephant in the room? An eating disorder? There was a blind at some point about Kate being in therapy for an ED. Bulimia, I think. Who knows if that's true or just something that was speculated on. And it's known Diana had bulimia.

The amount of pressure she is under to look a certain way, to not go crazy spending money on outfits if you gain weight (because she can't rewear), etc. Plus try to at least look like someone William would date/marry is a lot. It was rumored for the wedding she used The Dukan Diet, and supposedly goes back to it when she feels she needs to lose weight.

This looks so soft and comfortable, I love her button down. is it a jacket or a shirt? IDK but I love it!! It’s a “shacket”. They’re a thing this year (and a bit last). Gap and Old Navy have them right now.
