or how about these dreeses
I think any of the dresses you selected from the various official Royal "formal" events would work well at the Oscars, although I myself would detest anyone who shows up in a dress like Caroline's as I can't stand it. Many of the dresses the Royals wear are meant to grab attention as well, so I don't really see much difference in when a Royal dresses and when a Celeb dresses other then the "daring" issue. Royals have to be much more careful in selecting a formal, as they don't want to look dowdy but they can't portray a sexpot image either (case in point: the Madeleine red Nobel Dress) While the dress looked great on her, she caught a lot of slack from Royal followers for showing to much.
I think most people equate looking regal with leaving a little something to the imagination. Maybe that's a problem. Young Royals should be allowed to wear what they like too, should they not? The older Royals tend to go for formals and clothing that are more covering, simply because as you get older that is a more sensible style. But if you look at the fashions popular with todays youth, the younger Royals are in a tough place...many of the fashions they can't immulate or try because they would be blasted by the media and the conservative Royal followers. I'm not saying I want to see Princess Beatrice or Princess Eugenie (etc. etc. etc.) out there wearing barely there tops and little to no skirts, but getting them out of the boxy, boring outfits they tend to wear at official functions (as all young royals do!) would be nice. Madeleine's dress at last year's Nobel was absolutetly gorgeous, but it was so matronly, and in my opinion something much too old for someone of a mere 21 years of age to wear. She looked beautiful, but old. The red dress suited her age and the trends of the year much much more!
Now finally-HATS! I love hats, I wear them whenever I get the chance or find an excuse to...I don't think it's old fashioned, but I do think it's very "elite class." Most people don't wear hats at even Easter, but the "elite" class tends to wear them to many social events. I, personally, hope they don't stop wearing them, as I rather enjoy seeing the different looks and trends. Maybe one day it will be picked up by the legions of others! (I'm talking hats like we see most of the royals wear, not hats like baseball caps etc.)
. Naomi's and Renee's are a bit too decollete and slinky as are Scarlett's and Nicole's and some of those stars don't look very comfortable in those dresses either. Kelly Lynch's bouffant gown is gorgeous
