Buckingham Palace Garden Party in London on May 29, 2012

[TLLK]

I liked that she's recycled the dress, but it needs a brooch or another piece of jewelry.

I don't like the dress It's odd and not working for her It looks like a costume

I also really don't like brooches on young women (less than 50) unless they are really modern/have an edgy twist or It's an evening event

I like the fact that she recycles her clothes but do think she shouldn't have worn the same outfit to two consecutive public engagements.

I also wonder why she insists on dressing like she is in her 60s rather than her 30s.

Anne looks fabulous. Camilla doesn't look half bad either, for her age. I agree Lazy looks like she doesn't belong.

what an ugly hat!


and her hair looks like crap

Woah, check out Anne.  She looks rather good, I like her jacket combo.  Catherine does look rather lovely, but I hate how the press make such a big deal of her recycling her clothes.  Who the flip cares.  Anne recycles clothes from the 20th century and I am pretty sure Sophie has worn that dress many, many times.  It's only a dress!  (The price of it, however, is scandalous!)

Nice to see Prince Richard in the background of one of those images.  He and his wife are wonderful royals, quite quiet royals but I do love them and their story.  Edward and Sophie are regular garden party attenders, Sophie looks great in that dress but holy cow, as someone mentioned before, has her bottom always been that big?!  She and Catherine had matching shoes on.  Awkward. 

The Queen looks wonderful as ususl with such a genuine smile.  What I would not give to be invited!  Perhaps in the future I can get one for my commitments to Midwifery!  (Fingers crossed, haha!)

The men look great in their suits.  Prince Philip at 90 still looks dapper.  I always think Edward looks really handsome in a suit, especially when he wears the hat as it covers up his baldness.

ITA, Molly--
Richard and Birgitte (and Alexandra) are true assets for the BRF, working hard behind the scenes. They are worth more than 100 Willy&Lazy

How could I forget Alex?!  Shame on me. She is such a gracious woman, I would love to meet her and sit down for tea and talk about her life.

Catherine looks perfect for a garden party to me. 
I love her hat and I think that the pink frock is beautiful for the occasion.
Anne, Camilla and Catherine look fantastic together.  I love the pink and brown tones.
Everyone appears at ease and really enjoying the day.

[Honnish]

It's a bit embarrassing and cringeworthy how they all look at HER. 

I like the fact that she recycles her clothes but do think she shouldn't have worn the same outfit to two consecutive public engagements.

I agree. On the bright side, at least she's recycling!

Pink does not suit Kate at all.  Her skin is too orangy tan for that pastel pink color.  Those shoes are dreadful with it, but she seems to like them a lot.  I prefer Kate in tans, dark colors and greys. 

[Blue Bird]

Waity's dress is nasty.  Someone upthread said it looks homemade.  Agreed.
I think if she wore some jewelry with it, it would actually look worse - like a 60 year old or QEII.
     
Somehow the hat is reminiscent of Diana's Klondike dress hat she wore when visiting Canada, around '81.

Kate's hat is bad.  It's 3rd-place in arts and crafts (lace division) at the local elementary school bad.
