I thought Kate's pink dress looked awful! I don't like the fabric or the style. I also think it ages her. I love the skirt of this outfit but not the top, I think it's unusual.
Of course, Mary's recent colorful disaster deserves to be here! Victoria's silver dress is also horrendous!

I have to agree on all accounts.
The pink dress looks truly horrible; it looked mildly interesting on a much older woman - Madonna - but definitely not Kate. The military style skirt and shirt is nice, but somehow feels mismatched (or perhaps, overly matched). Mary's dress... I understand the cultural reference behind it, but that doesn't stop me from being too over the top. The silver dress is horrendous. Reminds aluminium foil.

Not looking good! For me the worst is Catherine in the prink dress, but Mary is the most disappointing as she usually always look impeccable (even if I would personally modify a thing or two). I have mixed feelings about Catherine in the blue skirt and white top - I think it as Artemisia said that it was too matchy-matchy, especially for the event. The silver dress is not nice at all, but I am not hating Victoria's look - I think it is because she herself shines so much in the photo that the clothing is not, for me, a focal point.

That Stella McCartney dress Catherine wore last June is truly awful. Reminded me of a bathrobe  . Didn't care for that McQueen dress either. Reminded me of a military uniforms that were used in Russia before Peter the Great took over and modernized. Don't think I have to say too much on Mary's colorful horror. It speaks for itself (most unfortunately).

Kate's pink dress is so far the worst piece Kate owns IMO. The color isn't bad at all on he brut what ruined it was the fabric, it was too shiny.

I love Queen Beatrix, I really do.
She's a wonderful Monarch, mother, grandmother, and a woman of many other sterling qualities.
However, all that simply doesn't change the fact the outfit she wore for the first day of visit to Turkey is just atrocious.

What with Hayrunissa Gul's red ensemble, I'd think they are taking part in some sort of a medieval take on Red Riding Hood.
Unfortunately, President Gul spoils the effect with his suit.

Atrocious is the right word, unfortunately.
Queen Beatrix' official wardrobe, both daywear and evening dresses, consists mostly of costume-like garments which are way beyond fashion and timeless only in the sense that they would not have been fashionable in any time period.
It's probably an attempt to create an iconic regal image, and sometimes this approach works really well, but particularly her eerie Asian-inspired evening gowns often don't make sense, border on the ridiculous or, like here, even come out atrocious-looking.
Worst are the sleeves - the material looks like something Nolan Miller (who just passed away) would have used in 'Dynasty' but rejected it as being too gawdy even for the 1985 era.

Looking back at styles from previous eras, I actually find the 70s the worst.
