She wore a pale pink coat dress by Princess Di's favorite designer.

Very little critique of the men. Why is that? Oh, never mind, I believe I can respond to my own hypothetical question. Answer, because it is women doing the postings and they are inherently overly critical of their own. I apologize to all those positive posters who had wonderful things to say about this celebratory event.
And I think it's because the men's clothes are boring and all pretty much look the same. No gender bashing necessary.
I agree. Female clothing is more varied and interesting then male's. Any mother of boys knows that! I love having sons, but my friends with daughters always had more choices re clothing for their kids. Female fashions are far more inventive and creative.
I don't see this as having anything to do with women being critical of women. It's fun to talk fashion, whether we agree with someone's choices or not. No one is saying awful things about these women - We're simply commenting about what they wore. Harmless, IMO. (And for whatever it's worth, I thought Pippa and Kate both looked beautiful.)

I love that *coat* dress and have owned and worn something similar in the 80's. I guess it's timeless. That color is also something that was in my wardrobe back then. Very feminine.
I think if Kate's dress were that color, it would have been prettier.
Some keep saying she was *tending kids*. As a grandmother, I can say, you don't need to dress like Mary Poppins--to tend to kids.

Of course, more competitive, lending to a catfight which could have easily occurred here.

I think the Royals want to look matronly... it's their "thing." IMO
Also, little George immediately made me think of Diana when I saw them. IMO
