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

[Erin9]

I like the sparkly dress. It’s very festive.

 

[Car8007]

I love the dress, she looks stunning! The dress color and style really suit her. A new (to her) tiara is always welcome too.

 

[Somebody]

Lovely dress but the look is somewhat ruined by the very odd hair and tiara (placement) combination.

 

[EvaH]

I think updo + tiara give her headache and she can't be bothered now. I wish the Swedish RF's hairdresser(s) could help Catherine's! Or even the Dutch !

 

[Prinsara]

Like I care if she wants to be brunette Elsa. She looks good, and it’s definitely the time of year for sparkles.

 

[Alisa]

Beautiful dress. I think the look will be more successful with a soft updo and a smaller less grand tiara.

 

[Asteria12]

I think she looks lovely! I know I'm in the minority here, but I don't see anything wrong with the loose (but perfectly coiffed!) hairstyle with the tiara, its very young and modern. Go Catherine!

 

[Countessmeout]

Elsa says it all. Looks like a Disney princess, not in good way. Way too much sparkle.

And the tiara does not work on her. Needs a more delicate one.

 

[Jem]

Beautiful dress. I think the look will be more successful with a soft updo and a smaller less grand tiara.

It will be way perfect for her to sport the Cartier Halo Tiara. Therefore it will be cohesive with the whole appearance.

 

[An Ard Ri]

I like the sparkly dress. It’s very festive.

My thoughts too ,sadly Catherine's hairstyle didn't work and let down the overall appearance.

The Princess of Wales in Jenny Packham and a Surprise Tiara at State Dinner

The Princess of Wales debuted a new gown at tonight's state dinner, but the real news was the tiara she chose to wear with her ensemble. The banquet honoring Germany's state visit to the UK was held in St. George’s Hall at Windsor Castle. (Buckingham Palace refurbishing precludes holding...

I think the dress is too much for a state banquet - it reminds me of her gold dress for James Bond premiere. And it is by the same designer Jenny Packham

Agree, i do think she overdid it a bit this time.

 

[sm1939]

Somthing isnt quite right about this look, however the Princess looks happy and well so thats good.

 

[muriel]

I do like the combination of the sparkly blue gown with the ruby and diamond tiara. It is not often that you see the Princess wear an asymmetric neckline.

 

[Mirabel]

I think the dress looks beautiful. (I wonder if the cape effect could be removed to create a different look in future?)

I'm also getting a bit bored of seeing capes on the royal ladies. Thank goodness Amalia seems to have lost interest in pairing a cape with a nightgown. Catherine’s gown without the cape or simply with her arms showing would have been perfect too.

 

[Elly C]

I’m now imagining the dress with a longer, fitted sleeve minus the cape ( to add to the medieval vibe many here have noted).

 

[roseroyal]

I know I’m a bit late, but I loved the Royal Variety Performance, and German banquet looks.

 

[MsJulie]

I like the color of the dress. The flowing long “sleeves” or cape, I do not care for, nor do I care for the neckline. With all the sequences there is too much going on. (..)
