Royal Style Twin of the Day: February 26

Royal Style Twin of the Day: February 26

Comment   
Look at this trouper, visiting EU institutions in Brussels yesterday:
An injured knee (apparently suffered during the family's recent ski vacation) can't keep Queen Mathilde down, and it certainly can't keep her from playing the Natan style twin game. She's giving us flashbacks to Máxima's ensemble from last week, and I think she's coming out on top, because 1) she's restricted her orange accessories to a small pair of earrings, and 2) those are some kicky little flats. I'm not usually a fan of her footwear, but in accommodating her injury, she's managed to up her game.

Since we're hanging out with Mathilde, here's an audience she held earlier in the week (before things got tricky with her knee, I guess):
Color: Yes! Slouchy turtleneck collar: No!

Celebrity Style Swap of the Day: February 10

Celebrity Style Swap of the Day: February 10

Some of you noticed something a little familiar on the red carpet at the GRAMMY Awards this weekend. Here's Taylor Swift...
Wearing Elie Saab and magenta shoes.

And here's our very own Duchess of Cambridge, in one of the outfits last year that most divided you all...
Wearing Jenny Packham and pastel pink L.K. Bennett shoes.

One mini/maxi skirt combo and a pair of accent shoes does not a solid connection make, in my opinion, but I'm up for the reaching challenge. And who wins the eternal Who wore it best? game? If you're going to do this skirt thing, you might as well do it at the Grammys and you might as well do it big time with the high contrast between the two skirt levels, so I'd call Taylor for the win there. On the other hand, Kate wins the shoe competition, if only for her significantly less chunky straps. Nobody's completely selling me on the overskirt as a fashion statement, but maybe if we mashed them up, we could get somewhere. Et toi?

Royal Outfits of the Day: February 3

Comment   
Crown Princess Mary's been out and about lately for Copenhagen Fashion Week. This is a regular event on her calendar, and it's always interesting to see what she wears because you can tell she's putting a little more effort into her version of cutting edge. (Which is still a very tame version of cutting edge in the overall scheme of things, mind you.)
She also makes a big show of Danish fashion this week, for obvious reasons. This Baum und Pferdgarden coat looks like a wearable blanket, and I approve of this, probably because I'm freezing right now.
For the Ole Yde fashion show, she wore - wait for it - Ole Yde, with some very expensive Georg Jensen accessories (the gentleman sitting next to her is apparently the CEO of that company, so there you go) and some showstopper shoes from Gianvito Rossi. And this is typical Mary fashion show gear, a pretty normal outfit on her scale, with something thrown in as a nod to the occasion. I like these, even though they give her a case of Barbie feet when seen head on.
And finally, the printed number on the end above, from Edith & Ella.
Worn with a tall boot selection that's a bit too heavy, but I'm willfully ignoring that because I love the necklace and dress pairing, so there.

Royal Visit of the Day: December 2

Comment   
Some people have a serious pet peeve about coat length being shorter than skirt length. I am not one of those people. Except, maybe, for right here, which looks like a random weather-necessitated pairing more than anything else:
The King and Queen of Spain went on an introductory visit to Germany yesterday.
Must have been a wee bit chilly in Germany yesterday, because in multiple photos poor Letizia is clutching her scarf for dear life, and she's got that look on her face like she can't feel her fingers anymore, but she's just going to power through it anyway. So I'll let the hem thing slide and simply commend her for dressing to showcase the display of Spanish and German flags.
Once the coat was ditched, the whole thing made a lot more sense:
This entire outfit (except the shoes) comes from Hugo Boss - one of Letizia's favorite labels, but also one that happens to be a German company. Not so random after all, it turns out. Sneaky Letizia.
All Hugo Boss except the shoes, which are CH Carolina Herrera

Royal Costume Ideas of the Day: October 31

Comment   
It's Halloween, kids! I know it's not really a universal holiday, but if you're planning on celebrating and still need a costume idea, I've plucked two outfits from the royal fashion rounds this week that might help you out. Just being servicey here, folks.

Idea #1: How about going as a garden trellis, complete with scattered flowers?
On Day 2 of their state visit to Japan, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima attended a banquet with the Japanese prime minister and his wife.
All you need is a little Jan Taminiau couture, my friends, and you too could be the chicest lawn ornament on the trick-or-treat circuit. As an added bonus, not only is this color scheme universally flattering, it could also be reasonably repurposed for next year's Dolores Umbridge costume.

Idea #2: Are you a fan of the classic film A Christmas Story? 
Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel visited Estonia this week for events including a dinner hosted by the Swedish ambassador.
Try this dark-toned take on the infamous Leg Lamp! All you need is the cash for a Stella McCartney mini dress, and you're in business. Sequin shoes from Saint Laurent will add some pizazz to the one legged-pose you'll need to strike.
This little number is the perfect option for all your Halloween party needs, because if you're not going to shake it in this dress, you're doing it wrong.

Aren't they just so helpful, our royals? Not only did they give us these two fresh costume ideas, they also saw fit to remind us this week that there's always option #3: Just wear a tiara. Happy Halloween!

Royal Return of the Day: October 22

Comment   
The Duchess of Cambridge yesterday returned to the royal stage for the first time since the announcement of her second pregnancy. It was a two-event day, and she returned to two of her favorite labels, Alexander McQueen and Jenny Packham. Getting back to your favorites is a bit of comfort for when you're feeling poorly, right? Sartorial chicken soup, in a way.

First up, she and William greeted the President of Singapore and his wife as they kicked off their state visit. The Cambridges were filling in for the absent Prince of Wales and Duchess of Cornwall, who usually take care of this part of the visit. Outfit #1 was a new McQueen coat dress with a repeated gray Jane Taylor hat. I do enjoy a bit of Prince of Wales check.

The couple did not attend the state banquet in the evening (but you can discuss those that did over at the Vault). Instead, Kate headed to the National History Museum in a new Jenny Packham dress and repeated L.K. Bennett shoes.
If this double skirt situation doesn't come with a built-in solution for when you hit a Whitney/Mariah VMA moment, then I don't know what it's all about. (Am I the only one having that particular flashback? Probably.)
Also, I really need these shoes in my closet. You never know when it's going to be a bows-on-shoes sort of day. Best to be prepared.
