The Princess of Wales stepped out today for a solo event at the Royal Surrey County Hospital. Her focus, for this visit, was visiting the maternity and neonatal wards and hearing about the hospital’s work to support babies and mothers. Judging from People Magazine’s piece, which was basically published straight from the Kensington Palace press release, it sounds like this hospital’s maternity and baby programs are incredibly supportive, with a focus on allowing new parents to bond with their babies while also giving moms some mental health support.
Kate wore a new-to-us dress by Karen Millen. The dress retails for £220, which sounds about right for this kind of piece. I’m always sort of surprised by how good Kate looks in shades of yellow and mustard. She doesn’t wear the color that often, but she really should. Even this somewhat dull mustard shade really pops with Kate’s coloring. In general, I don’t hate the dress either – it’s far from the worst thing she’s ever worn. Do I find the style a bit dated and vintage-y? Yes. I’m not going to look it up, but I feel certain that Diana probably wore a dress very similar to this.
Meanwhile, during the mourning period, I mentioned a few times that Kate’s mourning wiglet was looking a bit obvious and unblended. It’s happening again in these photos too. I think it’s a combination of factors – Kate is clearly going for honey-blonde highlights for autumn, plus she’s got a lighter mourning wiglet which she refuses to blend, plus she really needs some kind of deep-conditioning treatment for her dry-ass hair. All in all, since she’s become Princess of Wales, her hair has definitely been going through some things.

The area around her hairline and eyes are off. Something is going on there. Her mourning wiglet is mourning alright. She looks a damn mess but I suppose the mustard color isn’t too awful…just slight gross.
The hair volume around the winglet don’t match the crown. She needs to use fewer hair pieces in winglet. I think tape in are a better bet with her job sched And $$$
Exactly. They just plop it in there and don’t bother with blending it. It looks heavy and glaringly obvious.
The wiglet looks like it has a life of its own and is slowly crawling up the back of her head. I have visions of it running after her like Cousin It when she’s leaving and jumping on her like a loyal pet that doesn’t want to be left behind.
And personally I don’t like the mustard on her at all. I think it washes her skin tone out and her hair colour looks very flat alongside it but I seem to be in the minority on that view. I will accept that I know vanishingly little about fashion though….
I agree, mustard is not her colour and doesn’t flatter her at all. Also the sleeves are puffed to give her frail frame some bulk. It’s also padded in the bust, big-time. Or the bra is, because all Kate has left there are bones.
Ditto, The Hench. I think it is a colour tragedy on her. If you can wear yellow well, and know how it matches your tone and how it can sing, you are in a minority. And Kate’s hair is wrong, colour-wise, for her at the moment. Her hair and dress bring out the worse things in each other. Someone down thread owns this dress but I suspect they know how it works on them and how it syncs with their tone. Kate must have a stylist who doesn’t get her, or she directs her stylist and goes for things that look good on other women but not her. I also think she hasn’t been photoshopped so intensely in these pictures, and we’re just not used to it.
I think a little stronger makeup would have helped – not her mad contouring, but a bit of color and a slightly brighter lip. Also (I can’t believe I’m saying this about Kate), the dress could use a bit of jewelry – just a delicate bracelet maybe. I get that she wants to be low key when visiting a hospital, but those few changes wouldn’t be glaring.
Same Eurydice. I like the color on her but she needed a brighter lip to not wash her out. Otherwise fine.
I’ll admit I can never see the wiglet in the pictures. Can Kaiser do a diagram Perez Hilton style because it’s killing me!
@Eurydice – Re: her lipstick colour. She’s waiting for Meghan to drop a new darker lip colour to copykeen as she has recently been wearing the same lip colour that Meghan was seen wearing at the Windsor Walkabout. I think it’s a Charlotte Tillsbury colour.
The pink colour is a new one for our copykeeness.
School bus yellow is a tough color to wear. For any chance of success, accompanying blush and lip color must not be pink!
Lol @ the running wiglet!
Feel the same way about the color on her. I usually love this color and feel like it looks so rich on other people but somehow she makes it look flat or dull. Perhaps it’s her skin tone or perhaps it’s her personality (or lack thereoff) showing through.
“Crawling up the back of her head!” Hilarious, The Hench! I wore hairpieces for 40 years and can usually spot what Kate wears on her and on other people. It’s called a fall, or a 3/4 wig. They usually clip onto your own hair at the base with wig clips. “True half wigs, half head wigs, and 3/4 (three quarter) wigs, which are hairpieces with wig caps that cover up the back of the head and hair, allowing the front of your own hair to be visible. They sometimes have a headband at the front to disguise the transition between the wig and natural hair.” Kate’s are human hair ; synthetics can’t be curled with heat and her falls are curled within an inch of their lives to match her own curled hair. As you all have noticed, the texture and colors don’t really match well.
I got the se vibe that something was off with the photo. She’s not aging well. She looks 50. She’s so BORING….uh
I hesitate to say this, but it’s worth seeing the full carousel of 39 photographs from the visit on the DM lead article. They are… not flattering. I almost mistook her for CarolE in a couple. There is something weird up with her teeth/jaw. And the hair is so brittle it could be snapped in half.
She is starting to look like Karen Carpenter- SCARY SKINNY is making her look older & likely losing hair
She used to be cute and boring. Now she’s cute, boring and racist. I’m not into this dress. That belt and buckle are vomit inducing, more than the hideous butternut squash soup color.
I checked the Fail’s photos via another site and wow…JaneBee wasn’t kidding. It’s kind of weird to see a few photos of her with the typical editing alongside a bunch more that aren’t.
How can you tell that she wears wigs? I try to look for signs and I have no clue.. like is it an actual wig or clip ins? and why does she wear them… so many questions lol
I can never tell either! I’m so naive, I always just assume everyone just has great thick hair except me 😂 I had a housemate once and I really liked her hairstyles and how creative and sleek they were and at some point I said so and she was like “oh these are just wigs” and I was in such shock because I had no idea.
Ugh, I look and look and I can never spot a wig on anyone! I trust the celebitchy hairpiece commentariat knows their stuff, but I want to be able to join in.
Lol, @chaine, I thought my coworker had the most luxurious hair ever because of her sleek, enormous ballerina bun … and then I found out she used a foam donut the approximate size of a ring of Saturn. Clearly I know nothing about hair (particularly my own)
So as woman who gets asked regularly if her hair is a wig, when it is not and never has been, I loathe wiglet watching. And I tend to think most people aren’t as good at spotting fake hair as they think. But Kate has had sudden length changes and color mismatches as well as texture mismatches in her hair. So I’m comfortable saying that she likely has pieces and those are the signs
I think it’s at the crown of her head just right after her parting ends. Also must be slightly U-shaped. Her hair is then brushed over it. It’s why it sometimes looks like she’s wearing a bump-it.
To see someone placing one on. Search on youtube “jenifer jenkins best hair topper”
Now add to the fact that Kate’s is professionally placed and voila! Very natural looking!
There are some pics on the DM’s site where it is really obvious, and definitely not photoshopped.
Look at her hair on the right in comparison to the hair on her left. The hair on the right is thin, brittle and limp. The hair on the left is full, shinier and has a tight curl that needs to be loosened. At the crown of her hair behind the part is the ubiquitous bump of hair. This is one of her better wiglets because it isn’t ratty like the others. The ends of her real hair are in no comparison to the ends of the wiglet. Also it’s heavy. If it’s a good wiglet it will move like regular hair. She has too many clips or extensions in.
As someone who suffers from androgenic alopecia, I wear hair toppers every day. Not that that makes me an expert on alternative hair, but I can’t tell that she’s wearing a “wiglet.” Maybe extensions or halo extensions? 🤷🏻♀️
Kate should thank Photoshop. She’s heavily photoshopped my goodness. She’s still looking Jurassic.
I don’t mind this dress. I don’t think its anything amazing, but its exactly the kind of dress she should be buying if she doesn’t want to wear separates (which are more functional IMO, but I like a good dress now and then lol) – its fairly simple, it fits her well, its a good color (she was totally like “bring me a fall colored dress!” wasn’t she lol), and she can get a fair amount of use out for the next few years, and its a reasonable price.
She even toned down her accessories for the day.
Part of me thinks it feels like Charles really said “you’ve gotta work now that you have the title” and part of me thinks that this is just the normal pickup in royal work for the end of the year numbers. (and its not like she’s working that much, it just feels like a lot since she’s basically disappeared since June-ish, Wimbledon notwithstanding.)
But with separates, you have to choose two things! For me, a dress is easy because then all I need is tights, heels, and pearls. Of course, all my dresses have elastic waistbands, so that makes it comfier than a Kate dress.
oh I know, so sometimes I like that in a dress, I can feel put together with minimal effort (I’m still in my robe though….so take me with a grain of salt lol) but with separates you can mix and match and get a lot of “looks” out of a few key pieces and Kate has someone to choose the things for her.
But regardless Kate has always needed a more classic functional wardrobe, whether separates or dresses, and it feels like she’s starting to key into that.
Also coming back to say that i think part of the reason I vaguely like this look is because I WFH full time now and even when I go out to dinner or whatever, its in jeans and a tshirt or a simple sweater, so I’m kind of look “oh look a pretty dress to wear to work with heels!!!” I just threw out all my heels LOL.
When I was WFH during the pandemic, it was definitely just a blouse and pearls with sweatpants on … and I’d love it to be like that still!
She hasn’t increased her workload. During the school year, Kate tends to come out one day per week, usually Wednesday, and then go back into hiding. Now that the period of mourning is over and she made her inaugural trip to Wales, we’ll see if she adds any more events to her week, or if she sticks with her dream of being a country mummy.
That’s what I think is going on here, its just easy to assume that its related to the PoW title, but I think this is just her normal “one event per week” pattern that she’ll do for….two weeks, maybe? And then the kids will get a school break and they’ll jet off somewhere, and then in November she’ll do all the Remembrance stuff, and then in December the normal end of year round of events, and that will be it.
I think the real test will be what we see from her starting in January.
Actually, I expect that she will want to cash in her credits for attending those extras during the mourning period–the diplomatic receptions and the trip to Sandringham to meet the weeping–for some extended time off soon. So we’ll probably get one or two weeks of weekly appearances then she’ll be off to Mustique by the end of the month to deal with her exhaustion.
@Harper don’t forget she has Earthshot in Boston, would not be surprised if there was some extended trip around then bc you know the poor sausage will be so tired.
I also bet there will be a post christmas trip somewhere. Again, she’ll be so tired.
Do we think there will still be the whole Sandringham christmas this year? Or do you think someone like Jack Brooksbank is finally like, good I can see my family at christmas, finally?
@Becks1 I bet KC will make Christmas (wherever he spends it) about him and the direct heirs and maybe “working” royals. The rest will be free to have a decent holiday with their children.
(Shrug) It looks like all her other dresses to me. She’s definitely spent some Benjamins on a new wardrobe though, because this looks exactly like the black dress she wore to the Queen’s funeral, only in mustard.
I think the deep ‘V’ cut will be a new theme for Kate in her quest to copy Meghan’s allure. Hair ‘check’, smiling more ‘check’, charisma ‘noottt so fast … Meghan doesn’t manufacture her appeal, she just has it and doesn’t have to use visual cues like a deep ‘V’ neck to achieve it.’
It will be interesting to see how many color variations of this dress style there are as Kate’s rolls out her new wardrobe.
? this dress is really nothing like the coatdress she wore for the queen’s funeral, minus the neckline, and even that neckline had a bigger collar/lapels.
@Becks1 … I’m looking at the deep ‘V’ style of the dress(s) and the cinched ? waistlines. Sorry! I’m sure I’ve gotten that ‘waistline’ thing wrong. 🙂
I see what you mean with that.
Kate is weird with necklines – maybe weird isn’t the right word – but she goes through phases. Like I bet we’ll see the deep V for a few appearances, then she’ll back to turtlenecks for a few appearances, then we’ll go to scoop necks for a few appearances, etc. She definitely wears something, decides she likes it, and then kind of goes all in for a bit. So I do think we’ll see more of this style over the next few months.
Uggggh! I hate how much I love and want and need this dress!
Yes I actually really like this dress. It looks good on her. The styling with the shoes, bag, hair could be better to make it an actual stylish fashion look, but as a basic everyday work look, it’s good.
She looks good here. I like the look.
I really loathe puffy shoulders and they are everywhere. To me, they make any outfit look less sophisticated and like a child’s outfit. Why can’t women’s clothes have normal, fitted shoulders? Everything has a dropped shoulder, or a puffy shoulder, or a dolman sleeve.
The color is nice. Really don’t like anything else about that dress.
Agree about the puffy shoulders along with the belt/waist is too high. She often does this to dresses and it looks odd to me.
Eh…. Maybe she’s high waisted.
Actually, she moves the waist up to try to correct her long waist/shorter legs proportions. She should work with those proportions instead of try to hide them, IMHO.
As the saying goes,I have nothing nice to say about this woman, soooooooo I best be moving along.
Right? Like who gives a shit? She’s a mean, trash racist.
In that case, I think I’ll come and sit next to you two.
I need somebody to teach me how to spot wiglets. I know her hair is too absurdly full to be all-natural, but what are these signs of not being blended?
The texture at the wiglet don’t match the crown. She should invest in human hair version. Note the plastically sheen in wiglet vs hair at crown an front.

See side shot with other lady ..4th pic
I think her hair looks very un full here and flat but you can still see a wiglet. I was like you until recently – a wiglet virgin who could never see them, but once you do there’s no going back! Like you, I asked for celebitchy advice.
Exactly, Over It
@Genevieve, you are not alone! I also have wiglet blindness (#findacure)
Ok, so here’s how I play Spot the Wiglet with Kate:
1) She’s always had thin but long hair. See all the pics from when she was dating William. It was never thick, but a good blowout can mask a lot – I had the same color hair as Kate when I was young, it was also thin like hers, but when it was freshly washed and blown out it looked very voluminous
2) She’s aging. It’s absolutely normal to have your hair get thinner as you age, especially after you’ve had kids and you (cough) may not be eating enough to provide good nutrition for your hair. A lot of it is genetics, a lot of it is age. Any avergage woman after around 35, barring other factors like good genetics, who gets thicker hair as she gets older is quite obviously using some kind of help to give her more volume and length. Do you really think celebrities are a different breed….or do they just have help that a lot of us can’t afford/don’t want to bother with? Come on!
3) She is often required to be in situations where her hair requires an elaborate styling (with pearls, as in one of her early Asian tours, or with tiaras, etc). There is no way those big, thick, shiny buns are her own hair – most likely, she covers a fake bun piece with strands of her own hair, then the hairstylist shellacs the lot with spray/oils/etc. Presto, it looks like she is wrapping her own hair 10 times around in a huge bun. But it’s not real
4) I see extensions (to lengthen her hair) plus a wiglet:
–Extensions – I don’t know what kind, the braided or glued kind, but her hair is lots of different lengths. Around her face and a bit on each side, it barely touches her shoulders; that I think is her real hair. Underneath on the sides, and in the back there are very long pieces which always fall together and do not separate no matter the weather conditions, unlike real hair; those are the extensions. She is always sweeping those long pieces forward to frame her head and face when photographed head-on, so it looks like all her hair is very long. It was easier to do when she was wearing the little-girl sausage curl style, not so much now that she’s trying to look more “modern.”
–The wiglet – If you see photographs of her head showing her top part, you will see a middle part from her forehead until about halfway down her head to her ears, then all of a sudden the rest on top is covered with a thick shiny bump of hair. No normal hair looks like this, even if teased in the back! You can see it from the side, where it’s flat from her forehead to that point about midway down her head. The wiglet is normally blended with the extensions and the rest of her real hair, but the blending is not looking so great lately. Again, the tell is the aging: the first part of your hair to go is usually the crown, whereas she never has any thin or bare spots up there, it’s all thick, shiny, uniform hair. That’s the wiglet.
Like many others have said, I don’t care what she does with her hair, that’s her personal choice. I care about how many lies are told about how perfect her hair is, and how her press office goes after anyone that says otherwise. I wonder how she will continue to sell the lie even as she goes into her 50s and 60s, when it will be even more improbable that it’s her real hair? Will she ever actually go grey? We’ll have to wait and see…
@Lady Esther Thank you for this wiglet spotting guide and taking the time to break it down!!! 🙏
Thanks LOL. The extensions vs wiglet are what throw me off too. I always thought it was just a wiglet until someone pointed out around christmas last year that there are extensions as well.
Lady Esther. This is a brilliant run down, thanks. People always say she should put her hair up and get it out of her face, but my understanding is she can’t because it would make the wiglet really obvious; she can only put it up when she is styling it under a hat or doing a fancy up do for red carpet events, where she can pile it all into a really fake hair construction. So, she is stuck with this glam long hair look, which looks inappropriate at certain events, particularly day time and business things. A lot of what you say resonates with how much she touches her hair and tosses her hair around to realign it and stop it clumping. She seems to do it immediately when she gets to a venue. I’d be terrified to wear it; what if it came loose or was dragged by something.
@Lady Esther Ended up going down a photo rabbit hole based on your excellent description of how to spot a wiglet (aka hair topper).
“you will see a middle part from her forehead until about halfway down her head to her ears, then all of a sudden the rest on top is covered with a thick shiny bump of hair. No normal hair looks like this”
I will never be able to unsee it now you’ve pointed it out! 🙈
Thank you so much Lady Esther for the wiglet education. I also suffer from wiglet blindness.
Thank you! That’s very helpful!
As I recall, someone once posted a link to story from the DM about Kate’s wiglets. Of course, they framed it as a compliment but they had close shots. They framed it as, “Well, if you ever wondered how Kate seemed to have such great hair, it was done with extensions. Isn’t she great?” The whole story had a brittle, desperately positive spin that would confound Ed Woods.
I think the hair and dress look good, I would have put her in a little brighter lip color though.
I’m not seeing it with the wiglet. As far as i can see that is her own hair. She’s always had thick hair.
And as for the color, personally i think that peach and pink colours suit her better. To me yellow makes her look a bit washed out in general. Although with this dress that is less so.
All in all not a bad look. But not really outstanding either. The dress is something i would personally never wear.
Lol she doesnt have thick hair. You can check her hair from dating time. Her wiglet are obvious even her own stan admit. Plus willy sidepiece must be blonde or she is going after diana look. This is not her usual color of choice. She Always goes for dark coco brown.
This is typical kate dress, she has the ability to make modern dress boring. Her skin doesnt look great for this look to pull off.
Tinna. Thank you! I agree. She doesn’t have thick hair, never did. She had long hair when she was younger. There is a persistent dual narrative for Kate: That she has always had great big hair, which she hasn’t and now has to supplement with clip ins; & that she is beautiful, which she isn’t. She is an attractive woman with poor skin. But no more or less than that. Her work should count for more than her appearance, anyway, but it seems to be the only focus for her because she has no real work. I feel sorry for her – she has to keep to this narrative, and it means she must be damaging her hair with continual treatments and wiglets, and that photoshop is her ally.
Yes @Chloe, the texture of Kate’s hair used to be thick. Her hair was nicer and fuller in her youth. She supplements with wiglets a lot these days, which I don’t think do much for her. In a recent thread it was mentioned that Kate suffered some hair loss during her pregnancies, possibly related to faulty eating habits, exacerbated by pregnancy demands.
IMO, Kate should completely overhaul her look, and especially cut and style her hair differently. But she is who she is, which means copy-keening for days and unable to discover and master a unique style that suits her.
for the most part, your hair is going to be at its absolute best in the second half of a pregnancy and then it all falls out after you give birth.
But her hair clearly shows the effects of long term anorexia-conditioners, glossers, styling etc can only do so much. Like a lot of people after bariatric surgery, if you starve yourself the hair gets brittle, frizzy and thin.
I personally also don’t see it, as in, she does not wear it all the time and if she does get extensions or a wiglet for certain occasions, it actually looks good. But people here will not let that slide, everyone is acting like she’s wearing the most obviously busted full-on wig she could find in the back of an old KP closet. Please. I get it, they denied the wiglet wearing and now she must be shamed for eternity. But frankly, she has access to the best hair team and it shows. Nobody has to like her but to say she looks busted is just nonsense.
I actually don’t like that color on her and the dress could use an actual belt but she looks nice anyway. I don’t think she needs to re-invent fashion, that’s not her job.
But that is it. She does not have thick hair. I’m no good at spotting winglets, but the hair is unnaturally full on her left side. Compare that to the right side. There’s too much volume
I can’t always see it, but here I think its because the hair on the left side of her head (as you’re looking at the picture) seems to have a piece that isn’t “behaving” the way the other hair is. Like its not following the line of the rest of her hair and is sticking out from underneath. I “think” thats either the wiglet or its like that as a result of the wiglet.
Sometimes its super obvious to me and sometimes less so, I think when her hair is freshly washed and clean its more obvious actually (this looks like her second day hair to me.)
I don’t always see it except for when it is put on badly and gives her a really weirdly odd shaped head and off-center volume. When she doesn’t have a wiglet, it is noticeably thinner and less hair (not volume but missing hair chunks on the bottom).
The utter hypocrisy and vileness of HER of all people doing this visit. I can’t.
Also, her godawful posture ruins the dress, as does whatever she’s doing to her face (seriously how does her face look tight but haggard at the same time???)
^^ Exactly! Her terrible posture is so noticeable. I meant to mention that too, sadly.
Beach Dreams. Agree. See my comment below. Her posture is awful. I am beginning to think it is related to her heels. Look at the DM video of her walking today and it isn’t natural. Re her skin. Her face muscles have never been overly strong even when she was younger; she was cursed with the Middleton jowls. Her skin has had treatments to correct it, hence the tightness, but it can’t compete with genetics or factors such as weight loss and sun damage. We don’t often see it. This isn’t photoshopped as much as usual. We saw it most during the funeral walkabouts where the photos were rushed out.
Bad posture = early stage osteoporosis
Factors relevant to early on-set osteoporosis = eating disorders and smoking
Could be both the heels and the potential health issues. Earlier this year she was at multiple events where her shoes looked too tight or too small for her…it was bizarre. And honestly, looking at all those less edited/unedited pics from the Fail…her skin and her actual hair are extremely dry.
@Beach Dreams Weird re: the shoe issue!
It’s a good look. And it’s appropriate. I don’t think we’ll know until the New Year if the work load is really being increased or she’s just padding her numbers now like they always do at the end of the year.
But the hair. Come on, Kate, even a few minutes of deep conditioning would be a good thing. My hair looks healthier and I use drug store products lol.
Nice dress and the colour suits her but what is up with her face, its puffy looking – maybe she’s had a tox topup.
And yeah agree with everyone on the hair – its needs a good cut more than anything.
Gotta say, I deeply disagree that this colour looks good on her but I would like this dress in black or navy, or even plum maybe?
As ever, terrible accessorising. But congrats on a good cause.
I absolutely died at “her hair is going through some things”. TOO TRUE!!
I’ll come sit by you, if I may. I don’t think this color flatters or is flattered by KKKHate. She looks pasty to me. Her hair is TOO EFFING LONG!
C-Shell, come sit with me!
It is truly, an absurd and hilarious amount of hair.
Agree. You can see in these photos that her skin is quite pink-toned so anything really warm/ golden isn’t going to vibe well with her coloring.
Ummm….I own this dress and have similar shoes. 😁
Can’t believe she wore it today though, it’s cold/windy/rainy down South today!
I liked the dress until I saw the close-up of those sleeves & darts. Ugh. And keep talking to babies, Kate.
The color and the darts and sleeves are kind of sad. THe dress looks like a cheap poly construct. No bueno.
Some day I will write a book about women in the royal family and their Darts of Doom. Yeah, those darts are aggressive.
I don’t really get how there is any benefit to the hospital in entertaining and educating Kate on what they do. Seems like busywork.
Ghastly like it’s wearer.
More listening and learning, no doubt. No substance, no depth just there and blah!
It’s not her colour at all and doesn’t suit her. The old-fashioned style is still there … from the 1950s? Nope, mustard is definitely not her colour.
I totally agree with you both. She is a bad advert for this dress because the colour doesn’t suit her. This shouldn’t be a surprise, because yellow/mustard doesn’t match her tones. I applaud those women who can wear it and make it work. They are few and far between. Isn’t complete yellow meant to be one of the most difficult sells for fashion companies? Not sure where I heard that.
I’m not saying Meghan would wear this, but some aspects of this (the belt especially, also it’s a solid interesting color, there are some interesting minimalist kind of details around the neckline etc) looks MORE like something Meghan would wear than anything else I’ve seen Kate in recently. Make of that what you will!
oh god i just noticed the poofy shoulders oh NO i take back everything I said asdfkjasfdkj
I prefer it when she dresses like this rather than she tries to dress like Meghan. And yes she has several dresses that are similar this new one.
Love that dress. Would like it more with out the shoulder thing, but otherwise it’s great.
I am so bored by the shoes.
I am so bored by the shoes, too! I think they affect her posture badly. She is tall already and this height of heel throws her balance badly. I watched the brief DM video of her getting out of the car and walking in, and her walk is not good. She needs lower heels. Why go so tall, anyway? I am 5’11 and am aware that in certain heels I tower over people. She is shorter, but still tall and her heel height brings her up a lot. I know that my height in heels can affect my interaction with people, particularly other women who are on average shorter to begin with. Should I care? Not really. But then I’m not meeting new people all the time where eye to eye contact is nice. It may affect her posture too, bending to talk etc. I feel for her back!
@Sparrow — I think it’s because she has such a long torso and relatively short legs in comparison that she wears the towering stilettoes to balance things out. That’s also why she usually has the waistband of dresses like this hiked up a bit to make her torso look less lengthy.
I really don’t like this dress. Yellow is such a difficult colour; few can wear it without looking like they’ve been awake for a week. It washes her out and it brings out the blonde tones in her hair that she has tried recently and don’t suit her. To me, she looks a bit ill generally. The photoshop is a tad less rigid and you can see that her hair looks flat and greasy, and her skin isn’t the best. Also, the skin on her arms shows how thin she is, particularly at the elbows where it has bunched. She kind of looks dehydrated. I wouldn’t be surprised if someone said she was ill. I get the feeling she doesn’t really care in this outfit, which is odd for her. It’s quite nice in a way: a bit more “take me as I am”. Also, it’s a warm autumn over here but still autumn. The dress feels a bit off season – it actually looks more spring-like than most of the stuff she wears in spring! All in all, one of the least put together looks I’ve seen her in. This may be because the photoshop is at a lower voltage than usual and this is nearer to what she is like, which I suspect. She isn’t amazingly beautiful or shiny. This look seems to say, I know it and I am not worried. Can this be a new Kate attitude? Or is her photographer not feeling up to touching up so creatively.
OMG, I just bought this same dress in black a couple of days ago. KHATE IS COPYING ME NOW.🤯🤯🤯
I think she has the same thing going on my sister does. My sister is mostly gray now and needs constant coloring to cover it up (her choice/preference at this time). The hair is coarse now that it is gray and coloring over it just makes it look extra dry somehow. It doesn’t hold pigment as easily as it once did. I really think that is a big part of this.
Sigh, you have just described my hair to a T. It is definitely changing as I age and driving me crazy trying to figure out how to deal with it. If I had Kate’s resources, I would take full advantage of asking the experts for help!
Girrrl. My sister has more grays than me, but I’m not far behind. I’m letting mine grow after learning about Sarah Harris. She is rocking gray hair. It’s been freeing for me. My sister is happy to keep coloring her hair and it makes her feel good. Just saying that to make sure I’m not coming across as judging anyone for their hair color choices.
As a tip, my sis is a brunette and she has said she found that if she dyes her hair a medium brown and then lowlight it with darker brown, it looks better! Like something about coloring it brown and then trying to highlight some of it doesn’t work. She achieves the dimension doing the opposite.
Not my favourite dress on her but I really wish she would tie her hair back or cut it at least it looks so impractical
It’s a nice outfit, yes. The design and fit of the dress are great, and I love the color. But I don’t think this color works that well against Kate’s skin tone. The color of her bag and shoes works well. Her hair, unfortunately, is an all-over mess. She’s constantly changing the color, and veering from one style aesthetic to another because she doesn’t appear to have any strong sense of self, or understanding of who she is as a person, much less what works for her stylistically.
Again, Khate is copying Meg’s hair over one shoulder look. It doesn’t ring true for Kate because she’s always copy-keening other women. It’s always the outer accoutrements, royal perks, new titles, etc., that Kate seems to latch onto to feel good about herself. She truly needs some deep self-reflection, a full makeover, and a styling overhaul with less copy-keening. But I doubt that will ever happen.
One of her more better looks. I just think that maybe a darker belt and navy jewellery to match the navy accessories would look better (and maybe at a small navy necklace) but hey that’s just me.
Also lolling at the audacity. But also I promised myself that I wouldn’t get mad at the hypocrisy anymore cuz these people won’t stop
But definitely not lolling at the fact that apparently (according to a video on Twitter) a LOT of the hospital staff have just paused in the corridors for this visit and are waiting for her to leave. Like wth?
Hey!!! Everybody it is me Kate 🙄🙄🙄
Well, at least there are no buttons.
I wish she would cut that mop & ditch the ratty wiglets
^^ Yep, Khate really does need to ditch those wiglets, and get her hair cut and styled in a way that’s more suitable for her! I doubt it will happen though, unless she lets a professional expert with a better sense of styling actually help her do a personal, workable overhaul.
Her hair looked great when she was expecting Louis. It was cut in a long bob, just below shoulder length, a nice chestnut colour, shiny and healthy. She should concentrate on getting her hair healthy again, maybe take silica and horse chestnut supplements, and a coconut oil mask does wonders for my frizzy hair. The out of control sausage curls and over the shoulder look really isn’t professional at all. She could of at least pulled it back in a pony tail or bun, but she seems to need to fiddle with her hair all.the.time when she’s doing public stuff like this.
The best part of the articles like this about Kkkate in the dm is the commenters who rage because they call her Kate Middleton. They are so offended on her behalf ‘do better!’. LOL these derangers are too dense to know the df will never stop calling her KM, she was KM for a decade during the Waity period so that is what gets the most clicks. Same with Meghan, they may use titles but they will always use the maiden name that both women were long known by. The derangers do not understand it’s not shade just search engine optimization. Anyway, it’s funny to see one after the other DEMAND she be called nothing but Catherine.
Since they are likely the same idiots who think they accomplish something by calling Meghan “Rachel” instead of her preferred use of her middle name, it’s hard to feel bad for them when they cry about titles and names.
Yeah – it drives them mad! Princess Catherine is never going to fly, unlike Diana/Di. We have all got so used to Kate Middleton, which suits her. Funny thing is, those DM posters who froth at the mouth about how it is Catherine not Kate, trying to be proper and refined, are the same ones who then spew the nastiest comments going about Meghan.
sparrow, and that’s really it! When Di married Chuck, she instantly became the Princess of Wales known as Princess Diana or Princess Di. I suspect that Wails expects to be known as Princess now, too, but I just don’t see that happening. She will always be Kate Middleton and Meghan will always be Meghan Markle. Meghan is known by that name longer than she’s been married. If this is the sword the derangers want to die on, so be it. It’s silly.
Old Betty really did a number on Kate by living so long. After twenty years, we can’t stop calling her Kate Middleton. I remember reading that Will wanted Kate to get the princess title upon marriage, but Betty said, nah, you’ll be a Duke and Duchess. I can imagine Kate telling CarolE she wasn’t getting christened a princess and CarolE whining why??? in a Nancy Kerrigan voice. Old habits are hard to break for the public so it’ll probably be Kate Middleton to the end! Really, there has only been one Princess of Wales in our collective consciousness and that was our royal heroine, icon, never to be replicated Diana.
Not suggesting that you or anyone else has to thing the same but to be perfectly honest, it doesn’t matter what she wears even if she was the best dressed. She has proven herself to be such spiteful, jealous, cold hearted, bigoted woman that I can never compliment her. At least not out loud even if I like what she’s wearing (which I don’t…).
Melania Trump dressed well on occasion, I will also never give her proverbial flowers for that.
Doing so just distracts and softens the blow of their mean images.
With you 100% — this is exactly where I’m at with her. I don’t care what or who she wears at this point. She gets no points from me and she never will.
Why must she approach all of her engagements mouth agape???
I like to call it the ‘fly catcher pose’. Answer; this is 100% photo op and she’s been coached to do this.
I know. Sad to say, it took the death of the queen to close her mouth for a few days! It isn’t a natural happiness; it’s done for other reasons. One to bring up her face and two because it is now a signature for her. How many royals in the UK and elsewhere walk around with their mouths open all the time?!
It does not fit well especially around the bustline the color looks drab
Bloody hypocrite! I just can’t with this woman. After what her and that ‘family’ put Meghan through when she was pregnant just makes me so angry! Racist b!#ch.
^^ Yep, exactly. It seems to me that constantly appearing at and supporting these types of baby and mother-related charities/ centers, is Khate’s or her handlers’ way of deflecting and compensating for her sins against her sister-in-law. And/ or, it’s also just straight-up copy-keening of similar charitable work Meghan has more genuinely and effectively supported.
What Khate is doing in these instances, really doesn’t work, especially for those of us in-the-know who can’t unsee Khate’s meanness.
Only problem though @Aftershocks, here in the UK she can do no wrong, most believe her bullish!t and poor Meg gets cast as the wicked witch of the west, thankfully she has more people coming out and supporting her but man that smear campaign has really worked.
@BohemianAngel, yup. The smear campaign was total, unrelenting, and has worked like a charm. Even with people who should otherwise know better, who I would have expected better from. Just a real shame, tbh.
What’s worse is that I don’t think there will actually ever be a proper reckoning of that. I don’t think there is even a capacity for it. Look at how quickly the narrative went from “the monarchy will be in real trouble once the Queen dies” to “don’t talk abt whether the monarchy is in trouble bc the Queen just died, and we need to have some respect.” Those in power are always going to protect the interests of their fellow power brokers, and that’s the case here as well. For all the incisive and pointed critiques of that that we see from so much of British media, the fact that everything to do with Meghan is not examined at all, by anyone. Just shocking and depressing to see.
BohemianAngel & A, the bm is to blame for much–do these same people not understand how much distraction is going on to keep people from realizing how economically bad their lives are? To distract people from realizing that the brf and government are the ones who are making their lives economically bad is exactly what the bm does.
We’ve seen Murdoch and crew do the same in the US for the right wing extremists and I am just grateful that we have mainstream media who helps to keep the issues front and center. Unfortunately, there are going to be a certain percentage who will continue to believe everything Murdoch and crew want them to believe. The majority does not.
^^ Whoa, that’s really too bad @BohemianAngel, @Saucy&Sassy, & @A. If that’s the case in the U.K., how terribly sad and awful! 😱 🤮Very depressing if people there are so willing to keep drinking the BM’s & BRF’s f’ing kool-aid. 😵💫
I’m glad the rest of the world, for the most part, can see through all the insane lies and false narratives. Plus, just seeing how M&H conduct themselves, and all the good they are genuinely doing in the world should be obvious to people who are so willing to be fooled.
It’s hard to care or comment on what she wears anymore, considering she’s an ugly racist and an, at best, ignorant Tory stooge along with her husband. She’s increasingly left a bad taste in my mouth for a while now, to say nothing of Baldy.
The news out of the UK right now is that Liz Truss’s govt is looking at cutting up to 47 BILLION pounds from the budget to fund their tax cuts for the wealthy, impacting everything from benefits for the poor, infrastructure projects (much like this hospital and its maternity ward), jobs in the public sector, etc.
It’s very difficult in light of that, and with the knowledge of how Keen is an ignorant dolt, to give a sh-t abt an overly pampered racist b-tch going around and shoving her complete ignorance and utter lack of compassion in the faces of people who will work hard every day of their lives to make the world a better place, but will neither get the sort of wealth nor the unearned rewards that Weasel Wife gets for the negativity she’s injected and encouraged in this world for her own gain.
Speaking of Britain’s new unpopular PM, they both wore the same dress today LOL I gotta say, I prefer Truss’ – better colour and better accessorized (she’s still an awful Tory stooge who is unfit for the job).
I love Karen Milllen! Have a few dresses and coats from the brand. Brand has amazing and good quality shoes as well. All I can say about the brand.
Don’t care for Kate Middleton at all.
I don’t like this dress, but I too love Karen Millen. I have a ruched top – bought ages ago and still wear it. Plus some great sunglasses. I also liked just being in their shops. I shop totally online now, but it’s one store that I miss.
Sorry, the dress is nicer on her than usual because it’s a change of pace and there’s a dearth of buttons. However, it makes her look way too skinny and IMHO the color does nothing for her. She looks so much better in jewel tones. And with darker hair.
Exactly! ML, you should apply to be her stylist. It is a more relaxed outfit and feel but the cut does nothing for her fragile build and the colour does not suit her at all. She is jewels, not mustards or caramels. And that is why her hair should be darker, too. Agree with you completely.
@Sparrow, No thanks, LOL.
I used to.wear Karen Millen a lot in my 20s running around Dublin , l really like the dress sans belt but not de colour for this. A Winter wool.coat yes but not what she is wearing esp with those bloody navy bankers shoes !!! Seriously why does she wear that bloody black eyeliner, her mother is de same it’s soo.dated and very harsh for a daytime event , v common looking
Kit. I was just getting nostalgic for Karen Millen above. And then I started thinking…Top Shop! How great was British high street shopping.
I love a yellow dress, but this one looks bad on her. The fit is terrible and it makes her boobs look like they’re making a run for her waistline. She’s not especially busty so it’s weird that they’re so far down instead of hoisted up.
Its a good dress. She has exactly the kind of figure that Karen Millen designs for. Hair tied back for a hospital visit though would make it far more professional
I think the dress is great but Wiglet of Wales needs to die a fiery death.
This type of visit really gets the DMers going. She’s around babies and new mums – Kate must be pregnant or Kate wants another baby. It is pretty yuck. She kind of encourages it with her I’m still broody talk, which I think she does to make it sound like she and wondering willy have a sexual relationship, and that she is fertile and youthful (not). But still, womb watching is not healthy and I hate those comments.
My first pregnancy resulted in twins. I was made to stop working at five months, placed on total bed rest at six and delivered at 33weeks after spending a week in the hospital after my water broke. The delivery was by C-section, the doctor accidentally cut my bladder during the delivery. My last memory in the delivery room was of the babies being taken away and me being prep for surgery. My next recollection is waking up to find two urologists at the foot of my bed telling of the great job done patching my bladder. The neo-natal intensive care unit was located on a different floor, I had to ask and wait for a while before a wheelchair was provided so I can go see the babies. The next day I made my way on foot because a wheelchair could not be found. There was a total lack of support and this from a renowned private hospital. The day before I was discharged a social worker came to visit me, apparently someone noted their concern about my scarce visits to the neonatal unit. I look in wonder when I see pictures of people holding their newborns in the delivery room, I missed that bonding experience. I was discharged before the babies, I was relieved to go home and leave them in the hospital for a few more days. I read the People article about Kate’s visit. I do hope hospitals are doing a better job of supporting new parents. I like that the People article made no mention of her clothes but instead wrote about the services Kate was there to bring attention to.
I am so sorry to hear about this, Athena. What a horrible experience. Social workers and health care assistants love to stick their noses in. They often concentrate on totally the wrong mum and instil fear and self criticism at a vulnerable time when a woman’s brain is all over the place. I’ve heard of this kind of monitoring before. In fact, a friend was visited by social workers when she decided to stop breast feeding and chose bottles because in effect the baby wouldn’t feed and was losing lots of weight. The visiting midwife told my friend she wasn’t trying hard enough and was putting the baby in danger. When the social workers turned up, my friend told them the baby would die if she didn’t use formula. A very strange set of circs. She never had another kid after that.
I like the dress well enough, and think the color looks relatively good on her compared to her usual blues. But my god, the boob darts and weird piecing! She managed to do without buttons, but had to have something fugly to draw attention to her chest.
I give her some points for a more modern, nicely styled dress! But the shoe game is nonexistent. It’s the same old pump in a different color. I wish she would mix it up. I love interesting shoes.
I like the dress but I’m not mad about the colour. On the whole, I think she looks very nice. I wonder if this is the start of an increase in engagements for her. Unlikely 😂😂. I think instead we’ll see a brief flurry of appearances then it will be back to normal.
Bust darts are giving a distracting side nip energy, like her tragic cone-bra wedding reception dress (and the ceremony dress had weird boobage, too). This color is nauseating, but she does look, er, trim.
I unabashedly love everything about this look — the fit, the color (on her and for summer-fall), the detailing, the length and I think the midnight blue accessories are the perfect pairing without pulling too much focus from the dress.
I like that she accessorized with navy, but her shoes are so boring. And someone needs to tell her about the value of a good moisturizer. And yes, her hair ought to be tied back for a hospital visit. Her wiglets are so unprofessional.
More importantly, she likely hasn’t held her own niece and nephew, so spare me the visual of her as the Madonna cradling an infant.
I so agree with all you said!!
I was also wondering, if that baby had been a baby of color, would KHate still hold and cradle it?? js imo
She would do anything for a photo op! But she’d look uncomfortable doing it.
I’m sure she has held her own nephew and nieces. It’s William’s nephew and niece that neither of them have held.
She was a few feet from Archie and did not walk over to see him on that polo field
Archie and Lili are her nephew and niece, too. By marriage anyway.
Came here to say the same thing. The boob darts wreck the dress for me; same as for her wedding dress.
Yes, that wedding neckline and darting was poor. The inspiration was meant to be Grace Kelly’s dress, but it was nowhere near. Plus the lace looked cheap when it must have cost a fortune, which is always a danger with lace.
Eh, it’s alright on her. Every time she does NOT look terrible, people start gushing. I believe she has “fascinators” in the boob area (refer to Tennessee William’s play “The Glass Menagerie”). What with how thin she is, there is NO way she’s as bosomy as she looks. Just my opinion.
Thank you for the word “bosomy”! Years since I heard it.
She wore those gowns and they emphasized she did not have a full figure
She looks fine. The cut of the dress isn’t bad but that color emphasizes her sallow complexion and really looks like French’s mustard. The Daily Fail also had a blurb on this. What is really disappointing/typical is how many paragraphs was devoted to detailing what she wore, every accessory, then making the actual substance of the visit an afterthought. Also it boils down to Kate met this person, or that. That’s it. It seems like People gave the visit more substance. Her role is reduced to a greeter and cheerleader. Nothing else but that seems to be what is expected, whet the palace wants and what the public likes in her, so she’s nailing it.
First of all mustard is not her color, and the over padded bra, with no slip under the dress is plain tacky. Full stop, not classy at all, and poor posture, what more is there to say. Sorry I am not a k8 fan, and never, and I mean never will be. Mean middle aged woman, is all I see, the great pumpkin, skeleton in time for Halloween. I can be petty too.
This is a decent outfit for the engagement but it still doesn’t change the fact Kate is ugly on the inside. At the hospital a long corridor of hospital staff were lining up to see Kate. Chris Shipp reported this on Twitter; some people engaged him saying it was all set up to look like everyone was dying to see her. I would not be surprised.
I’ve just seen a video of Kate arriving and departing. Kaiser’s right, that wiglet needs blending in.
I do not think she is all that popular with the public but she gets the same script by her fans that she is classy as if
She is only popular among people who hate Meghan.
Kate better enjoy these favorable moments… because William aims to get rid of their marriage. He’s not in love with her and hates being near her. In that “The Drab Photo” they took during QE2’s funeral cheesing it up in smiles — William would not touch her, Kate had her hand cautiously on his back and KC3 and Cam were trying to a do a H&M… all hugged up.
Her days are numbered as the Princess of Wales. Watch in the BP and RR, for rumblings, and things being blamed on Kate… and that it’s Kate’s fault. Knowing that there might be some public pushback on the RF… they will bring out the”Gaitlin” and proclaim on QE2’sdyingbed she gave William her blessings to get rid ofKate, if that would make him happy.
usavgjoe, I wonder if the fact that these photos are not as photoshopped as usual is a precursor to what’s to come. Obviously, time will tell, but I don’t care how many body language experts tell me that they just don’t like touching in public but they are still a couple, I’m not buying it.
As far as the dress is concerned, I don’t like the color on her. That could just be my bias because I cannot wear that color. Am I the only one who wants to know why this dress is so long? Back in the day this was known as tea length. You wore it for afternoon engagements–like TEA! I just think it’s too long.
The belt is too big, the shade of mustard is a bit off for her skin tone, and she needs a better fitting bra. She would look so much nicer with just some minor tweaks.
usavjoe, Your post made me guffaw, especially the line, “on QE2’s dying bed she gave William permission to get rid of Kate, if that would make him happy.” How brilliant! You should be a courtier in the palace. This sounds exactly as it happened (or might have in someone’s fertile imagination). You have my chef’s kiss of the day. (Especially by all accounts, he did not make it to her bed side before she died.) Brava!
I love anything mustard colored. I own so many sweaters, corduroy pants, and accessories in this color and I like this dress…but not on her. She doesn’t have the coloring for it. Maybe if her hair was darker? She also needs to give up the wiglets. She would look so much better with a sleek, dark bob.
Is Liz Truss wearing the same dress in rust today? I saw her in the df giving a speech, the top looks like this same dress.
Not quite – its from the same store.

LOL at this:
https://www.theguardian.com/politics/shortcuts/2022/oct/05/dictator-chic-why-did-liz-truss-wear-the-same-outfit-as-a-fictional-fascist
The clutch and shoes, yikes. I think something in the same color spectrum would have been a better choice. Like a shade of brown. It would be more of an an autumn-y look and less of a stark transition than black.
I think her hair looks more like she’s had tape-in extensions than a wiglet. I had them a few years ago, hated them. Here’s why:
People get them to add volume and fullness to hair. They’re also really, really bad for your hair which explains the brittleness. You can’t use a regular brush and it’s difficult to brush your hair. You also can’t run your fingers all the way through your hair unless you start below the taped area, They hold curl really well. She forgets the giant pain of the “tousle” part. Those things required a commitment. I wish I had known that before I got them.
She simply doesn’t understand how to use accessories. So focused on the wiglet that she misses the bigger image picture.
A great deep brown croc belt and shoe would have great with this and a vintage bamboo handle small Gucci inspired bag.
Or, she could have kept it super British and pulled in a fun Burberry clutch. Her MIL knew a good belt and bag.
And why drop earrings (again) with that collar??
KT, she doesn’t deserve you (and I dare say you wouldn’t do it), but you should be Kate’s dresser. I think you could really make her look better, if that’s what you (and she) wanted. I’d ask for 1 million pounds a year minimum if I were you. Now that the Duchy money is theirs to plunder (I know, I know, it CANNOT be plundered), you could surely get your price. Since the Duchy money is theirs to plunder, I’ll apply to be your assistant and ask for half a million pounds. I’d be there to comfort you after you dressed her, screaming what a biatch she is. Think about it.
I like the cut of the dress, it really suits Kate’s vintage-y vibe although that colour is really hard to pull of. She looks really good in jewel, saturated tones (red, fuchsia, emerald, sapphire, etc). Also, may I say that calling someone a bag of bones is really gross? It’s uncalled for, just like commenting on people’s bodies in general.
What is wrong with her face? She looks way too old for her age, don’t they have botox or plastic surgeons in salty island?
