I think the fashion blog Order of Splendor said it best, "This is Eliza Doolittle, pre-makeover. I'm a little afraid Anne's going to start heckling people in a cockney accent." If she is "anti-fashion" that is a shame because she only lessens the impression others have of her. She certainly has people around her who could help her look more elegant and more befitting a Princess Royal. Her daughter seems to have some fashion sense. Surely Zara didn't look at her mother and say,"Mum, that ensemble really complements you. You look spectacular." How can people with so many resources look so awful?

On a side note..... I have NEVER understood her hair. She does not make the best of her features. Her hair ages her by about 20 years and is too severe.

I totally agree with you.
I have a feeling Zara puts her two cents in but I doubt Anne is listening. She prefers to look unattractive, severe and austere. Her hair looks coarse and her face looks like it could use a really nice smile. Like I said before she's like a zombie to me.

I don't think what she wears lessens peoples impressions of her . Her not being interested in fashion is well known she gets on with her job and seems do an excellent job in her role.

I'm sure she does an excellent job but your appearance and what you wear can make an iimpression too.

I never change my hairstyle either. When you find something YOU like, keep it.

From reading all the complaints about the PR's personal style, I think everyone should have to post a photo so she can see how you look.

COUNTESS · #**285** 05-02-2011, 04:19 PM

It isn't a hairstyle, it is a great mound of hair, coarse and dry looking, stuffed around her head. If she just wore a plain dress, I would have said, she isn't into fashion, so be it. But, she, obviously, bought this ensemble, which looked.... someone said it, Eliza Doolittle. The hat was plain ridiculous plopped there. T-n-T you are right on the mark.

udyusa · #**286** 05-02-2011, 04:31 PM

You, Countess, are also Right on the mark! Best description I have read so far, regarding dear Princess Anne's hair...

princess carmen · #**287** 05-02-2011, 09:24 PM

The dress and coat are o.k its Anne but the hat is just awful, if that outfit is new then that hat has to be very old I can't imagine anyone designing that thing today.

Ha! The hat does look like an Eliza Doolittle kind of hat.

If I find something "I" like and it looks awful on me and makes me look 20 years older, I hope those closest to me will PLEASE, PLEASE tell me!

I'm not against her. I just desire to see her look her best.

That last post was supposed to go with this one. Sorry, I'm new to this.

COUNTESS · #**290** 05-03-2011, 09:44 PM

She never misses an opportunity to miss an opportunity. Not that she cares. I don't, believe, she wore any hose, too, so her legs look awful, also. Yuck. And it cost a fortune, I'll bet. That is the terrible part.

Really? Are you sure she didn't wear any hose? I thought she had.
