The Princess of Wales's Eveningwear Part 2: July 2025 -

[Snowangel]

I think Catherine look really nice. The white collar might have a bit of 80's vibe over it, but I still like it.

 

[shady lady]

She looks wonderful, as always!

 

[Kristen]

The brooch is lovely. I don't like the dress at all. I had a similar dress with the white collar--many years ago now when I was a little girl. It might look better on Charlotte.

 

[Elly C]

It’s not a look I can get excited about, but then the occasion isn’t meant to be a fashion parade. She looks okay, but I have preferred her outfits worn in previous years.

 

[Mirabel]

I actually like the collar; it softens the severity of all that black and allows the poppy to display perfectly.

 

[Alisa]

Maybe if the collar was a muted gray but the stark white contrast is a bit distracting.

 

[Prinsara]

I love the Alessandra Rich dress on her — she looks proper and elegant, but easy and relaxed and has a glow. It’s a nice balancing point between some of her more overly-casual (not that she wears those for evening) and overly-styled looks.

 

[taogg]

The big collar reminds me of the 80s, and I never liked the fashion from that decade.

 

[polyesco]

Not a good look at all!.
Brings me flash backs to my "church" dress from the 1980s with the huge white collar.
She has so many black dresses, this can go back

 

[An Ard Ri]

The dress reminded me of a Conformation outfit from the 80's and a rare miss by Catherine.

Agreed. This dress is as miss for me, the collar is just so very dated.

Beautiful!

I like everything about it: the colour, fabric and cut - great! Hair and makeup are great as well!

 

[Countessmeout]

Glad I scrolled past first photo. It looked like (due to position of photo) she had a bizarre cape going.

Dress is beautiful color. And I love the design and fit. Perfect choice. And love seeing the earrings.

But if she is going to keep the length, she needs new hair styles especially with formal looks.

Agreed. I love this dress and her whole look! So pretty and festive. The green velvet seems particularly appropriate as we head into the Christmas season. It fits like a glove.

Jewelry is fabulous.

Lovely! A classic velvet gown, in a rich green. And proper diamonds to match. Love it.

 

[Prinsara]

What a great dress on her — sleek, comfortable, and flattering.

 

[Somebody]

Very few people would be able to pull this dress off but Catherine most certainly did!

 

[Elly C]

A great dress for her slender figure. Green velvet is such a lovely choice too and teemed with some gorgeous earrings.

 

[Mirabel]

The dress is absolutely gorgeous!
She looks so pretty and festive.

Festival of Remembrance this evening - an Alessandra Rich dress, with her HMS Glasgow brooch. Also apparently according to twitter a poppy designed by Izzy Ager of Lock & Co, a graduate of the Royal School of Needlework, handmade from silk, glass and natural materials.

Prince George Attends Festival of Remembrance for the First Time

Prince George attended the Festival of Remembrance for the first time this evening, accompanying his mother to the annual event. Prince William was unable to attend because he is returning from Brazil, where he attended the Earthshot Prize Awards and the COP26 conference. Below, the Prince on...

I think if the collar was smaller I would have liked it more

Horrible collar, unless she was one of the pilgrims in the Mayflower minus the big belt buckle. The width of that collar, and the contrasting white color, takes all the attention away and that's not good.

What a contrast from post to post. In this last one she recovered herself from that USA Amish couture moment to an absolutely show-stopping look for the night.

Outstanding! The dark green velvet gown is one of her best evening looks.

What a fabulous look - velvet and festive on a very cold night in London.
Would I have a liked a necklace for the neckline yes but I’m being picky

It’s a Glamorous Gown by Talbot Runhof for Royal Variety Performance UPDATED

The Princess was the picture of glamor this evening in a Talbot Runhof velvet gown at the Royal Variety Performance. This is the sixth time the couple has attended the performance. Senior royals rotate attendance at the event; last year, King Charles attended. Here you see him with Giles...

It’s an older piece this gown from a number of seasons ago - maybe it been used for private events and only new to us

 

[An Ard Ri]

The Princess looked wonderful and it was a cold night too and no jacket/shawl!

Off topic posts have been removed.

 

[Emmily]

She looks divine!

 

[Alisa]

One of her best looks. Everything worked and was very flattering!!

I do think the look is a bit OTT. She looks like the statue of Liberty or Sandra Bullock in the pageant scene of " Miss congeniality".

 

[PrincessofEurope]

Nice dress, maybe too many sequins for a state banquet look. Don’t think it works with the tiara choice and hair
