ROYAL LOOKS IN WINTER

Oznell — Sun, 08 Jan 2023 04:19:12 GMT

The blogger "Royal Fashion News" did a December round-up of some of her favorite royal outfits. Thought it would be fun to see if anyone has any comments to add.

RFN liked:

Queen Letizia of Spain in all red. The coat is Carolina Herrera. She looks great.

The off-white dress with camel coat slung over it is fabulous. I even prefer it to the red. Pretty shoes too.

Queen Maxima of the Netherlands wearing an interesting combo of colors in the burgundy range. How do you feel about those two colors together? I like the cape style coat.

She looks radiant-- what a necklace! The shades of her outfit look a bit different here due to lighting, I suppose.

I think RFN blogger's favorite was Catherine, the Princess of Wales' look, in a Needle and Thread number. I especially love the softening lace on her slim figure.

And a cute casual look in this woolly Alpine sweater--

Mette-Marit, Crown Princess of Norway, at one of the Nobel Prize ceremonies. That clear red she favors is striking with her flaxen hair. It's a coat dress by Catherine Walker, who used to dress Diana, Princess of Wales. My only quibble might be with that particular style of hat.

RFN tends to jump back and forth in time, and this example she gave that she admired of Victoria, Crown Princess of Sweden, is from a few years ago. It is so stately.

That antique diamond cross is breath-taking. You could almost miss the stunning ruby brooch on her sash!

More recently, in emeralds...

Elegant.

Princess Charlene of Monaco is a standout in an ombre dress.

Nice to see her taking a more active role after her illness. Her sporty Mia Farrow/Jean Seberg pixie haircut is darling on her.

To me, England's Sophie, Countess of Wessex, is looking very glamorous here. Love her long cream coat paired with wool turtleneck...

Pulled-together Sophie again, flanked by equally chic Queen Letizia and Princess Charlene.

They all look so regal. So beautiful and well groomed. Beautifully groomed hair and makeup, great posture. i would like to have the clothes but not sure I am up to the rigorous schedules, not only their work but their beauty regimens, which they have.

Queens Letizia and Rania are my favorites in the beauty and fashion department. In my youth Diana was THE style icon, but I also was drawn to her down to earth and kind personality. No modern day Queen or Princess comes close, imo.

Queen Letizia has a wonderful sense of style. I think Sophie has the best style of the British royals. Her style really appeals to me. I think she always looks wonderful and appropriate for every occasion. Kate is a beautiful woman and wears clothes beautifully but I think her choices are confined by her position. I am glad to see her in that gorgeous red lace dress which is a bit less conservative than some of her clothss. She has a fantastic figure and looks good in everything she wears.

I like Victoria's first tiara ... with the red gown. Now that's a very dressy tiara I'd like.

All I would need is just another tiara, casual, to wear with jeans, while running errands. lol

at least it might be fun to be princess for a day or week and have a lovely makeover!

These Royal ladies are beautiful. Who wouldn't want to be a princess 👸?

On a humorous note, we cruised on the Golden Princess to Alaska on our honeymoon. DH started calling me his little Princess......thus I started using OK (I'm from Oklahoma) Princess. Sounds silly now all these years later 👵🏼🤦🏼‍♀️

Kate in the turtleneck sweater is my favorite.

All so attractive! So many beautiful clothes, handmade of course! I especially love the long gray coat.

Love her tiaras. I think this may be my favorite!

Queen Letizia always looks so stylish and classy. I like Kate's red lace dress and turtleneck sweater. She looks good in just about anything. Princess Charlene's ombre dress is nice and her pixie cut looks good on her. Not everyone can wear that style, but she can.

My favorite of all is Sophie in the long cream coat and turtleneck. I love everything about that outfit including the boots and clutch purse. If I could wear any of the outfits, it would be that one. Not sure if it would look that good on me, since I'm not tall and blonde - so there's that - LOL!

Thanks for posting,

Great comment about posture, @Nonametoday , and by extension, general bearing. That goes a long way toward making beautiful clothes look even better, I think.

@OKPrincess, what a sweet story about how you got your screen name! I didn't know that, thank you for sharing!

Count me as another who likes Sophie's easy style and focus on the work. Her children, the late Queen Elizabeth's youngest grandchildren, James, Viscount Severn and Lady Louise, have been kept fairly low profile. Lady Louise, now a university student, was extremely well-liked in her job at a garden center.

I guess I like seeing the outfits of the adult royals because they are one group who still, in general, at least attempt to maintain a certain propriety in dress. I no longer seek out fashion looks from "show biz" award shows, because the standards there have declined so precipitously-- with some exceptions, of course.

@OKPrincess @That is the cutest story!

The Royals all look great! One of my favorite Royals is Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, she always looks so classy, but I espeically think her husband, Crown Prince Frederick is an absolute cutie! They always look great together!

They all look chic and lovely. How nice it must be to have someone to do the full hair and makeup routine for you...the emeralds...my favorite....be still, my heart!

Viscount James is certainly a cutie!

@Oznell , I do love Princess Charlene's hair. You're right, very Mia Farrow. I had to google Jean Seberg whose name I remembered but couldn't quite place. The resemblance between the two is uncanny!

I was interested in Princess Charlene and wondered what her illness was. I had never known about her. She has had a sad life as a royal. Her story reminds me of Diana's. She was an olympic swimmer.

Here is another picture of when she first shaved her hair. I think this was in 2020 before her pixie style shown previously.

There is much you can read about her just by googling her name.

Prince Albert of Monaco's mother was Grace Kelly.
