The President and first lady of South Korea are in the UK I love the red but the shoulder pads and lack of waist tailoring make this just look rectangular. So weird because she usually likes to show off her tiny waist!

I love the tiara Kate is wearing and finally getting to see something new. But damn that dress is bad and everything else makes it worse.

Camilla looks better than usual here. Maybe red is her color.

I like when Meghan does monochrome classic basics, but hem those pants and tuck in the shirt. Shakes my cane.

Blackpink is big in my house, so I love that they were there. I am honestly confused as to how the princess of wales can consistently have harsh makeup for these events. She's been lightening it up for her recent other events! It makes me spin tales of team intrigue and who gets to style her for what events and who gets the boot and are the new team immobilized somewhere which is why we are seeing the return of the harsh blush and black liner? I can only guess that this is her idea of "formal occasion" makeup. She needs blusher higher on her cheekbones and blended out with a circular buffing brush, and she should throw her eyeliner pencils in the trash and use shadow instead. I too liked a black kohl pencil on the upper lid from 2008-2012 but then I let it go. I was coming to say. That’s how i did my makeup in like 2003. It didn’t look good then either.

I interpreted Kate's look being a nod to the country of origin of their guests, especially because it is so different from the silhouettes she usually wears. The empire waist and diagonal bow, I thought, were features of the Korean hanbok. I am neither Korean nor fashionable, however, so I am certainly open to being corrected. Korea and Japan are constantly at odds with each other over cultural theft. It has a lot to do with the Japanese occupation of Korea and Korea not believing Japan has shown enough remorse over forcing women to become “comfort women” during the occupation. They argue over who invented what on a regular basis. Japan claims the Korean hanbok is a derivative of traditional Japanese dress. One of the key differences is the bow. Japanese dress has a large double-loop bow. Korean hanbok traditionally has a thin single-loop tie holding the jeogori (jacket) shut. I can totally believe the Korean First Lady is standing there wondering why Kate chose to greet her in Japanese style clothing, especially given the red color.

This reminds me of when the animated Disney’s Mulan came out. I was in HS and my friend Judy (Chinese) got so mad that they painted her face the way they did for the matchmaker. It’s like they think all East Asian cultures are the same. You’d think they’d do better research for their visitors.

I love seeing sparkly diamonds and was a bit “oooh” at seeing someone wear a tiara nobody else has worn for 100 years but then also…. Why does any family NEED dozens of tiaras? And honestly they look bored. I also caught myself wondering when Kate Et al. would get the little ribbon thingy for Charles, but like. Why? I guess it’s an achievement for her “job” but still. Maybe I don’t pay enough attention but what outcomes or results has she (or will or whoever) really had with their initiatives?

I saw some speculation online this was maybe supposed to be her coronation dress, the stitching matches the tiara pretty well. And maybe Sophie's was also supposed to be worn at the coronation. But then Charles said no tiaras and they had to change things up. Kate has a bunch of verrrrry similar white shoulder pad cape dresses now

Supposedly the embroidery on this dress matches the flowers on this tiara.
