She took first place of all the "royals". While Catherine took fourth place at 80,237 Euros.

Is it being limited to the American Duchess only that she can wear a new outfit every engagement whether it suits the occasion or not. Kate spent less than the others last year so where lies the problem? She rewears quite often so a new one here and there i think is acceptable and also non-British every now & then. I'd like to see this comment on the new member who has a penchant for non-British and a good spender too.

It's not that she ...Sarah,, I completely agree. It's not that she has small breasts, it's that the tops is visibly squeezing her chest. In my view, it also cheapens the whole look. Her BAFTA dress was also tight at the top. Bottom parts of both dresses were exquisite, for sure - and showed the incredible craftsmanship. <br /><br />Like someone said above, I too do not understand why she needed to buy another bespoke Italian couture gown (not that it's supporting British fashion industry...), when so many beautiful and better fitting ones (also from British designers) sit in her closet after only being worn once (lilac McQueen gown from the BAFTA Support gala in LA in 2011 comes to mind, or black velvet McQueen from the Military Awards the same year...). It's not that she need to demonstrate that she is the glamorous princess, I don't think anyone doubts that. She could also be the more mindful one (and yes, she has done this before, but there is plenty of room to do much better). Two new bespoke gowns in less than a week. It's a very well known fact that the Fashion industry (and our mindless consumption) are huge polluters - and sooner or later that will catch up with us (deny it as long as you wish). Her example in that direction would go a long way for me. I am willing to bet I am not alone. <br /><br />Oh, and please, don't tell me this isn't the place to comment on that (assuming my comments make it). It actually is - respectfully saying it. If it is a royal fashion blog, I believe it is part of the conversation we need to have - if we are aware of the reality we live in. <br /><br />LolaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2065972902087062391.post-27450717212732432712019-02-14T16:16:31.264+00:002019-02-14T16:16:31.264+00:00Catherine is a tall and naturally lean woman, and ...Catherine is a tall and naturally lean woman, and I think this dress suits her perfectly.

Only the darker shade would've been much better I think. I'm usually a big fan of Catherine, but now I'm a bit underwhelmed. <br />Hair and jewelry are nice though. And she looks happy and confident.

I don't think it has the elegance that we are used to seeing Kate wear. She is not flat chested, but this dress has given her the illusion of having no breasts. I don't care for the two tone in the bodice or skirt. It looks more like something a fashion student would design. I agree completely with Anon 5:23 about the belt. It looks like an afterthought to match her bag.<br /><br />In spite of that, nothing can take away from her beauty. Her hair is perfect, and those earrings are exquisite.
