I know fashion threads are for bashing but honestly I think the royal women that appear here on a regular basis all look good.
I know next to nothing about Stephanie de Lannoy as a person but she looks great. Fresh and a very warm smile.
A very attractive girl IMO.

 Agree. I don´t know very much about Stephanie, more than she wore one of the most fantastics wedding gowns I´ve ever seen and that she doesn´t seem the fashionable kind of girl most of the time.
But I just can´t blame her for her fashion choices even if I don´t like them too much, I just like her. She always looks smiling and sweet, I think she must be an adorable person, or at least she gives that impression to me. She´s smart and had a great career before met her husband and is discreet and elegant in that way that doesn´t involve clothes and beauty. I admire her for not changing drastically her appeareance of ordinary girl to "fit her new role" as many would have desired and as many of the current CPs has done. She´s refreshing in the middle of those artificially fabulous-looking Princesses we´re used to.
I´m usually very critical with most of the other princesses´choices of clothes, especially the ones that are always praised for being "oh so beautiful/elegant/poised/well dressed", I have to admit that, just for spite, I love when they doesn´t look good at all, since I can pointing out that they still are ordinary girls who just happen to have more money than us    . Since they have spent a lot of their time trying to convince us of the contrary, I don´t think I´m doing bad if I "correct" some of their mistakes.
But I don´t feel that necessity with Steph, since she seems to not care for her clothes, why should I? She does´t care either for the critics to her attire. She doesn´t seem that kind of girl, IMO. As long as she doesn´t become a "fashion obssessed" I won´t care for her way of dressing.
She seems to be doing a god job as CP in the IMPORTANT things, for the few I know about her.
I hope she´ll continue this way and won´t dissapoint me

This dress with patterns expands Stephanie in his arms and this dress look cheap.

I liked the multicolored outfit. It was fun and she looked great in a pop of color.

Unflattering dress and the print isnt pretty. She should stick to soft prints in the future if she wears print.

I dislike the print dress, but like the purple one. If she was going to accessorize with a scarf, a complementary print in a shorter length would have looked better than the too-matchy longer one. But she looks very sweet and happy.

I'm in the 'dislike the print dress' camp. It's too busy and reminds of something one would wear to run errands or to the movies during the warm months of the year.

It reminds me of the prints on Hermes scarves. So expensive!

She seems so adorable, that I find it difficult to find fault with what she is wearing. I think the purple goes really well with her skin and hair. Not sure that the long scarf was a plus. And, while I've never liked that type of print in the second dress...she is such a lady and has those delicate features and seems so sweet...that I don't want to criticize. So, even in that dress, she still has a great appeal.

She is a lovely young woman, but that print dress is ugly.

I'm not keen on such printed dresses either. It's rather dated, sorry!

The outfit looks nice. I wonder what the blue outfit underneath looks like.

Not too bad. I'd love to see the blue dress under the coat.

Pretty blue on the scarf and dress, what you could see of it.
