All in all Mary looks lovely and elegant, as always. That grey colour seems to suit her a lot. However, there's something not quite right about the fitting of her dress to my eyes, although I can't quite put my finger on it.

I love the grey dress and the fit is fab. Am I the only one who isn't a fan of bare legs and heels?

 No indeed! Once I have to wear heels it's stockings or pantyhose. Bare legs don't really look all that nice and feet can be really . . . erm, ugly.
The other downside is that the shoes need constant airing to prevent foot odour. There are a whole lot of fashionistas around who obviously have exceptionally forgiving olfaction. However, I don't think Mary has to worry about that.

I liked the grey dress. Just wish Mary would have put on some stockings to make the look a little more polished.

Her outfit somehow has an equestrian feel yet elegant. I like it.

Mary looks very good but as for Fred. Scruffy suit which doesnt fit, scruffy hair and needs a shave.

She is so polished and he just doesnt make the grade for me.
But we can agree to differ

Mary looks absolutely stunning. I love this outfit. I've said it many times before, the classical look is best on her imo, very regal.

I am going to have to buck the trend on Mary's outfit at the opening of Parliament. I loved her hat and even liked the style of her coat. The problem was the color. Mary should not wear white - it totally washes her out. I never truly understood the meaning of a pasty complexion until I saw pictures of Mary in her wedding dress. Mary should stick to jewel tones that would put more color next to her face. That rose colored dress she wore last week is a perfect example - she really looked good in that one though it seemed a bit tight. In the pictures from outside today, Marie was wearing a pretty scarf in what looked to be a purple color. If Mary had been wearing the scarf instead she would have looked so much better because the color would have kept the white away from her face. If you go back and look at the pictures from the recent wedding she attended you can see a similar problem. The ash pink dress did help a little to take away from the white coat but it wasn't a strong enough color to make her look really good. Mary can look really good in strong colors but she makes me want to scream when I see her in the awful pale colors she keeps wearing.

Just saw this picture of Jackie Kennedy on twitter. Pillbox hat and such a similar coat. IT is an elegant look
