On May 8, 2025, King Charles and Queen Camilla, along with the Prince and Princess of Wales, the Duke and Duchess of Edinburgh, and the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester, attended the "VE Day 80: A Celebration to Remember" concert at the historic Horse Guards Parade in London. The event marked the 80th anniversary of the end of the Second World War in Europe and was held to honour the veterans who served in World War II.

I think PC hair is getting too long. She obviously wears it well but enough of the teen girl look.
ReplyDeleteI believe Kate’s dress is a rewear - I do not care for the heavy fabric on top combined with the gauzy fabric on the bottom. Her hair looks lovely styled like this, although the bow seems rather twee. My first thought about Camilla’s coat was it reminds me of a velour bathrobe, and now I can’t unsee that.

PC I prefer this look to the dress she wore earlier which emphasizes her thinness. What a nice change on the queen. Everyone looks lovely
ReplyDeleteWhat great look for the RL's.

PoW: A no from me. Once, before the pandemic, I bought a Self-Portrait dress for at wedding, the top very similar to this one, but with af pencil skirt. I wore it one time, at the wedding, and subsequently threw it out. Never bought anything from that brand again. All top designer brands use polyester today, and there are quality polyester fabrics out there. Self-Portrait is using low quality polyester, in my opinion. It feels and looks cheap. The skirt on PoW's dress is no exception. And the hair is too 'girly', the entire ensemble is off. But she has a lovely face and a stunning figure, even this eyesore of a dress can't ruin that.
ReplyDeleteAs for the rest of the ladies: QC's boho-style, no; DoE in pastel colour mode, maybe; DoG's classic style, absolutely - my winner for the evening.
My opinion, you have yours.

Catherine looks wonderful. I love her dress and I don't usually mind a difference in length between the overlay and under skirt for such outfits, but in this case, probably because of the particular difference in their lengths today, I wish they were both the same length - either the shorter or the longer. Her pearls and her hair are stunning.
ReplyDeleteCamilla's outfit looks bulky, shapeless and heavy but to be fair, we can't see much of it at all in just the one photo. The same goes for the two Duchesses, so can't really comment too much about all three of them.

Catherine--one big WOW here! What a gorgeous whole look here. I find this style for her hair to be the best of both worlds for her--off her face yet the back half is down showing off her beautiful hair. She seems to working on bringing back the popular big black bows of the 1980s--it is a look that works for her. Her jewelry--all pearls (all glass pearls I feel sure)--is another perfect choice. Very elegant, fashionable, and beautiful. Queen Camilla's coat is very beautiful but some of these photos do not do it justice. She does look wonderful here but you cannot see too much of anything else but her coat. Sophie looks lovely in the pastel pink and I would love to know what in the world is that thing on her wrist--if you know, please tell me. The Duchess of Gloucester--can't tell much other than she is wearing navy blue but she looks so pretty in the one photo of her. I wish the Princess Royal had joined in the evening event--perhaps she was there but we don't have photos--I would love to see her fashion choices too.
