Royal style vs. Celebrity style

[Britters]

I could see this dress on someone like Martha Louise as it's youthful and slightly different from what we are used to seeing...at least in my opinion.

[Josefine]

as there are different threads on what labels royals wears i thought the name of this thread could be changed to Celebrity fashion verses fashion of royals and talk about the difference
should they dress differently
can royals wear the same things as moviestars or popstars
what gors and what does not goes

but i also wanted to post some links wear we talk about labels the royals wears

so what events can we compare

maybe the Oscars to gala dinners for royals

movie premiers i have seen some royals going to them but not very often

charities functions both in gala and in more informal

but what can be compared to royals attending events like opening of a gallery or listen to a seminar of important issues or more state events like opening of the government or military parade

but what other events would be okay to compare to each other

[Josefine]

first the oscars i have posted photos of Celebrity with long dresses as gala evenst of royals is long dresses

Oscars 2004
1 Charlize Theron
2 Jennifer Garner
3 Naomi Watts
4 Renee Zellweger
5 Samantha Morton
6 Sandra Bullock
7 Catherine Zeta-Jones
8 Kelly Lynch
9 Scarlett Johansson
10 Nicole Kidman

what dresses do yo0u think could be used on a royal evenst like a state visit gala dinner or a other gala event like a royal wedding

[hillary_nugent]

nice pics josefine ^___^ Naomi Watts looks the best i reckon and like usual i envy Nicole's porcelain skin...

[Josefine]

but what dresses could work on a royal event

and do you think that royal at such gala evenst should wear dresses that are not so long´

Like Uma Thurman at the Oscars 2004

i do not think so royal gala even´ts should be with lomg dresses down to the floor

[Josefine]

Charlize Theron dress i do not think it could work on a state visit and be worn by a princess or queen what do you think

[Britters]

I agree Josefine-Charlize Theron's dress is a little too...daring, to work for a Royal at an official event.

However I think Jennifer Garner's dress (Rustic orange color) would be beautiful for one of the Royal women who is more apt to experiment with color (Martha Louise perhaps, or maybe even Letizia as I think the color would look splendid on her!Ooh...or Mathilde!) Sandra Bullocks dress (White feathery bottom) would work for a winter gala event with a beautiful long White or black type coat. (I could picture Mette-Marit or even Maxima in a dress such as this. I think Victoria would look great in it as well!) Catherine-Zeta Jones (Red) is a pretty dress and might work for Royals if they could find some sort of wrap or shawl to where with it.

I absolutely detest Uma Thurmans dress...and I don't think there is any woman alive that could actually pull of wearing the dress, so I really don't think any of the Royals could.

Frankly, in my very, very humble opinion :), none of the dresses are quite right for a royal event. I think that actresses dress to attract attention or to shock. Mostly their trying to promote themselves for future movie roles or bigger movie roles, or to beef up their star appeal or attract interest for a movie role.

For a royal event, one has to be so careful as to not to:
(1) offend anyone with your apparel
(2) appear as you're trying to detract attention from the event
(3) look like a trollop
(4) be overdressed for the event
(5) be underdressed for the event
(6) wear too much bling bling :)

bling bling help me out a bit a define it
i know what it is but if you define it you would help me a lot

It means very flashy jewelry :)

[Josefine]

flashy jewelry is not the same as a lot or as grand would you say?
thinkning of Queen Silvia does she break the rule 6

[Josefine]

is there anyone who thinks the royals should wear more hollywood and if so why is the royal why to covered up and old fashioned

[Britters]

Mgrant-generally I would agree with you. Celebrity fashion has no room in the Royal world. Celebs to tend to dress flashy so as to be noticed at the big events where other celebs are dressed just as flashy. However there are some celebrity's who dress more classic and less flashy. The dresses I used as examples aren't flashy and the jewelry worn with such outfits doesn't have to be over done, but simple and understated, making the look more Royal and less "celeb."

I think, had the looks not been seen on a famous face, but instead on a simple "dummy" then they would be more readily acceptable by the royal fashion critics. We already have a look set in our heads now though and so it is hard to view it in the Royal setting...

[Josefine]

so could the dresses that is worn work at the Oscars or are they to "boring"

[Josefine]

or how about these dreeses
