I love this look- the peter pan collar particularly. And I love her hair as usual!
I am blown away. That is pure 1960's It Girl look, and she rocks it. What a fabulous, sophisticated look for spring. I want to go out and buy the same type of coat now. What was the occasion of this appearance? I don't follow her that much.
I just don't know how anyone can 'hate' that hair. It's a lovely colour and also clean and shiny, with a healthy bounce to it. What's not to like? It would be a travesty for her to wear it up all the time.
Today's outfit is more youthful than Sunday's. It's certainly an outfit that I and my friends would wear. She looks fab, although I expect the usual moaning about Kate not wearing her hem at the same length as the 86 year old Queen. Both the dress and the coat have now sold out.
For me, the hair is dull, boring, lifeless and same old. I like variety.
Her coat is lovely, dress not my style but I like the fact it's from topshop.
As for the usual "moaning", of course anything other than agreement is moaning these days, Catherine's dress and coat are too short IMO for a 30 year old Princess. This coming from a 19 year old university student. However, I can understand that these clothes aren't maternity and not designed to fit over a 5 month baby bump, so the bump may raise the clothes.
Why should a 30 yr old with great legs have to cover them up?
She wore an updo to her last engagement and she wore her hair straight instead of wavy this time. That's a fair bit of variety.
OK why should a 30 yr old princess cover her legs?
Because it's appropriate.
How so? The Queen often shows leg. Yes, her skirts may be a bit longer than Catherine's (always past the knee, although up to her knees are shown when she sits), but the Queen's legs are also shorter and the Queen is herself older and from a different generation.
Catherine has long legs, giving the illusion that she's revealing a larger portion of leg than she actually is. Her dresses (when they're short) hover around her knees, usually either just above or just below - both within what is in style while also maintaining a level of decency that is due to her position.
