Late Fashion Friday: Duchess of Cambridge – Before a Royal

A Year ago the Prince William and Catherine Middleton married at Westminster Abbey in London. Since then, the Duchess of Cambridge has wowed us with her fashion. Although, it wasn’t always like it. Take a look:

When Kate (below row) walked out onto the streets, she would normally wear boots, a cardigan, a shoulder bag. Now, with her marriage she has to play things more safe. She wears flats, wedges, heels, (normally not sneakers.) jeans, dresses, and an cardigan.

Kate (below row) wore things less safe than her married life. she wore v-neck dresses, although now, she usually wear a high neckline, I wish she would wear something more daring.

Kate (below row) rarely wore evening dresses, when she did she wore them, they would wear it with a low neckline. Catherine now wears them more often and sometimes with a low-cut.

Kate (below row) has her usually hair one part over the eye and curly at the bottom. Catherine now wears her hair up, half up-half down, just curly on the bottom.

Kate’s hats (below row) were just small fascinators. Now the Duchess of Cambridge still wears fasinators but, they are larger. She also wears hats that cover the whole head.

Late Fashion Friday: Queen Elizabeth II’s Style

Yesterday, was Elizabeth’s 86th birthday! Happy Birthday! So, I am young. She is old yet, I really love Elizabeth’s Style. She is like the Duchess of Cambridge but of older age. So here are Elizabeth’s Style in her later years:

Blue would probably be the Queen’s most used colour. And she looks absolutely great in Blue.

Beige and Brown is not a favourite of the Queen. Although, she does wear the colour on un-official occasions (ex: horse racing.)

Floral is a must have for the Queen. She has to at least wear something floral ever week. And if it is not week it would be ever month. I am not a big fan of floral but, the Queen looks great in it.

Pink! Yah! My favourite colour, Pink looks really good on the Queen, whatever shade or whatever hat. (I am fond of every hat and coat she is wearing here.) Lovely Queen.

I think the Queen looks good in purple, but a specific colour of purple. I like the light colour on her (far left) and the darker blue (3rd to the left) but, who am I to judge? It’s her classic fashion choice it’s her opinion.

Red is a good colour on Elizabeth (Wait, what am I saying, all of them look good on her.) But, Red looks really good on her.

White is a favourite of the Queen at a State Visit. 2nd and 3rd to the left were a State Visit from Turkey. And I have to say she looks great in white.

Queen Elizabeth’s favourite colour is Yellow. So, I wonder why she doesn’t wear Yellow a lot more. But, we all remember the day where she wore Yellow ironically, William and Catherine’s Wedding.

Fashion Friday: Elizabeth, the Queen Mother’s Style

10 years ago to this day, the Queen Mother pasted away at the age of 101. And I thought is would be great to honour this lovely lady. Also, Autumn Phillips gave birth to her second child, Isla Phillips.

The Queen Mother started off as Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon. She was a Scottish aristocrat. She met Prince Albert (Later, King George VI) at a dance and he said to one of his friends, “I will marry her”. They danced and he fell in love at that moment but, she did not. He proposed to Elizabeth 3 times until she finally said yes.

The Queen first began her royal life as, the Duchess of York. Something she did not think would happen was her being Queen. See, at the time of her being the Duchess of York her brother-in-law – Edward – met Wallis Simpson (a 2-time divorced American) Edward had to chose their the Crown or Wallis. He chose Wallis so then Elizabeth became the Queen Consort.

The Queen had a very good style, a style icon and that helped her a lot because she was queen for 16 years. Her, husband died at the age of 51 in 1952. The Queen became the Queen Mother and her style changed too, she went for brighter clothing.

When her husband died in 1952, she became the Queen Mother. She Wore brighter clothing after her husband died. As well as, prints, very experimental clothing. Then, in 2002 she died at the age of 101.

Fashion Friday: Princess Maxima’s Tour Style

Well, the Queen of the Netherlands just finished her tour to Luxembourg. I will have all the Queen & Grand Duchess’s outfits.

Well, first of all, Maxima has epic style when it comes to tours! Secondly, the 2 tours Maxima took are my favourite!

Days 1-4 (I think) the first length of the tour was the best. So much colour! She also donned a lot of Jewels on the tour (below will be all the earrings she wore). My all time favourite was the blue dress she wore on her 3rd day.

The rest of the days on the Caribbean tour. Not a big fan of the other clothes, mostly all are printed (I don’t like printed clothes).

The earrings were high jewelled – well the ones that were actually jewels. She did wear the earrings great.

The hats were the main attraction on the tour – either than the royals and her clothes but, still. She wore some epic looking hats.

The shoes – I love shoes. Who doesn’t? I got a new pair of shoes today. Anyways, the shoes she wore were ok, I would have liked something different but that was Maxima’s opinion, not mine.

Maxima took a tour to Germany back in April of 2011. And it was glamorous – well, she did wear a tiara. Anyways, I liked the first days of the tour until, we come to the green dress. I wish she really didn’t wear that, it doesn’t flatter her body.

I love the 4 outfits Maxima wore on the tour. Although they were not all my favourite, they still looked good on Maxima.

The Hats/ the tiara were ok – the hats were ok, Tiaras are always great. She didn’t really wear any great hats but, she wore ok hats.

Beatrix’s Tour to Luxembourg

Beatrix had a 2 day tour to Luxembourg. She did not wear anything great – except the tiara…that is sad, not to be rude or anything.

Maria Teresa on the other hand was very lovely. The hats were great and the dresses & coats were good. The sequined dress was great, the tiara was a diamond floral tiara and if you hadn’t noticed the dress was Elie Saab. And hey! Did I see that dress before? No! Victoria at the Nobel Awards didn’t wear Elie Saab.

Flashback Friday: Princess Tessy’s Style

Princess Tessy has been a fashion icon (good or bad) since she has joined the Royal Ducal Family. Here are some of the attire that Tessy has worn since her wedding to Prince Louis in 2006.

Tessy has donned many hats (ok maybe not at least 10 a year but, whatever!). She has worn good (Right and 2nd to left) and bad (2nd to right and middle) or just ok (Left) hats. Mostly all the hats she have ever worn was at National Day which only comes once every year. So, just about 1 hat appearance each year!

Tessy has as well worn good outfits (2 middle) or ok (Right) or just terrible (left). I wish she would just wear good clothes all the time, she is so beautiful!

Here are my picks for the worst outfits all are from National Day, except the outfit with the green dress (that’s at Christmas).

Fashion Friday: Mary’s Best Fashions

On Sunday, Crown Princess Mary will celebrate her 40th birthday! I love Mary and her style. So her are some of my favourite outfits that Mary has worn.

 

Some of my favourite evening wear. My favourite out of here would be the short pink dress. I am a sucker for Mary’s evening wear (And with a tiara!)

Mary wears pants most of the time. So, why wouldn’t I put a Business wear section. I actually love it when Mary wears pants bigger than her legs – It makes her look taller. I am in love with the black shirt, white suit, and pants (All time fave!

 

Firstly, I love all these dresses. Secondly, I have nothing else to say, she has such a chic wardrobe and she accessorises so well!
