They're not even that fashionable anymore! If she was determined to wear boots then leather with a stiletto heel would have looked much better than slouchy boots.

Kate does seem awfully attached to these boots. I think that she started wearing them around Christmas '06/New Year '07, I really think that they should be retired now.

[politikgirl]

I agree about the boots. I love boots, but they don't match everything, and it would be nice to see Kate wearing something other than boots.

Smarter? Both looked good and were wear similar clothes.
While Chelsy wear nice boots Kate wear her boots again.
Or maybe she has few pairs of the same boots?

i have often wondered is this lace dress what was under Kate's coat at the wedding of Laura Parker Bowles any thoughts??

Absolutely! Not sure who designed the dress itself but the actual lace was made by Solstiss (a French company that provides lace to different fashion houses).

I like the outfit very much, but the hat seems a bit of a funeral thing!

[Al_bina]

You are absolutely right. Black hat with a cob-web veil would look more appropriate at memorial service. The pink jacket looked fine though.

Kate is a pretty brunette, but she will have trouble with aging. I can already tell she looks older than her age now. It might be because of too much sun and no sunscreen, but it will come back to haunt her when she's older.

She looks older - she looks so tired. Too much parties maybe too much cigarettes if she smoke, sun, lose weight, live under stress (what would people say aboutme, my clothes, behaviour).

[Duke of Marmalade]

Agree with all those who say that she looks older, actually she looks like a sad old woman with her hat that would be suitable for a widow at her husband's funeral and her heavy eyeliner that is a relict from the 80ies. Sad dress, sad look, very boring and old fashioned. Shame there is no full body picture, I am sure she's wearing these black boots that got stuck on her legs

Sorry, no black boots in sight http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums...1-post293.html

If you're intent on discussing Kate's personal qualities and habits, please do it elsewhere. The only thing that interests us here is her sense of fashion and style.

Thanks,
Mandy

The jacket is just lovely. I want a jacket like that!
The mistake (imo) is pairing a soft pink color with black! The color that most effectively compliments pink is white. Had she paired the jacket with a sleeveless white knee-length dress she would've looked worlds better.

Also I think the long dark hair actually ages her. She should've worn it up with a brighter (non-mourning color) hat.

Someone should tell Kate that she has great bone structure and hiding it behind a tumbled curtain of hair is not only not a good look, it's a crying shame.

The hostess style hat, with veil is almost a "Cocktail" hat, and unlike a fascinator, it needs stlye. If Kate had put her hair up the bare neck and throat would look delicate and the veil mysterious. She would have achieved the magical "Balance" she seemed to be striving for. More importantly, she would not have looked in the least funereal!

My only reservation about Kate's overall look is that she seems too timid and tends to hide behind her hair. She needs to put up her hair, raise her chin and look everyone straight in the eye. Basically her overall style needs to be "in your face", which is actually more of an attitude than a change in style.
