What Are They Looking At?

In Edinburgh today...

Miss Zara Phillips, the Queen's granddaughter, thirteenth in line to the throne and champion equestrian arriving at  Canongate Kirk for her marriage to Mike Tindall, captain of the English Rugby team.

Princesses Eugenie & Beatrice

Now, hands up if you own a pair of 'nude' patent leather  heels  !

After being so rude about  milliner Philip Treacy the other day, I do rather love

The Duchess of Cornwall's hat.

The mother of the bride Princess Anne who has a very individual style.  I have always suspected she's dressed by an upholsterer.  I also happen to think she's a fantastic no-nonsense role model.

The Earl and Countess of Wessex.  Sophie's normally discreet style has been attacked

by aliens.

Amy Williams, apparently a champion skeleton racer.  A what  ..?  Has she just been in an argument with a chicken coop?

A soap star called Katherine Kelly looking just ever so slightly too good to be true

Nathalie Pinkham - scroll down so you can't see that hat because the dress is lovely

Kirsty Gallagher sporting a little green Martian number  with her man who has forgotten to put his photo ID  away.  Yes, you even have to prove you're not a terrorist at royal weddings.

Her Majesty in her chaussures de nos jours

Sir Jackie and Lady Stewart.  I am bored with the shoe gag now but who'd notice hers

next to those cheeky tartan hose? 

The Bride and Groom.  Their kids won't necessarily get that nose - unless they play rugby too.

A Bit of a Mystery..

Why was Princess Beatrice looking like a Cretan fertility goddess at the Royal Wedding?


Mais quel dommage!  because her really beautiful Valentino couture dress and coat were daftly eclipsed by the headpiece.  

Personally, I'd shoot a few milliners pour encourager les autres starting with the massively over-rated Philip Treacy.  This is what he did to Princess Eugenie (wearing a curious blue historicist number by Vivien Westwood)




and  to the Duchess of Cornwall.   (Where is she?) Once again, the ensemble is overwhelmed/cancelled out by the hat.  But I tell you what, she makes a fantastic Farrow & Ball paint chart.

Uh oh, socialite Tara Palmer Tomkinson also falls for a Treacy art installation.  As this is a family publication I probably won't go any further.

Call me old fashioned... or call me something worse.
