After the Prince and Princess of Wales’s big World Mental Health Day outing yesterday, I thought they would be “off” for the rest of the week, trying to spin their joint appearance as much bigger and more important than the Sussexes’ NYC trip. But no, here’s Kate stepping out solo in Nottingham today. She visited Nottingham Trent University, and this visit was focused on mental health too. She met with students and discussed how the university supports them and their mental health. She also visited a mental health exhibition of some sort. Basically, Katie Keen wandered around a university and posed for photos. She did say “I’d love to be a student again!” Yes, the St. Andrew’s years, where she stalked and captured William. Her “glory days.”
Kate wore a two-piece ensemble from Sezane, a £110 sweater and a matching £135 skirt, both in cream. Button Watch: the sweater has ten buttons total. Kate obviously added all of Meghan’s cream, white and beige Invictus looks to her moodboard. Is it just me or is Kate actually trying (and failing) to walk like Meghan as well? Kate’s accessories – gold and pearl earrings (which look gaudy to me) and a purse from Tusting. She’s made some updates to her makeup recently and it feels like she’s overdoing the eyeliner, perhaps in an attempt to be more like Diana. It also feels like her “hair” changes drastically from day to day. She really got several new wigs and hairpieces over the summer and by God, she needs to show them off.

The ensemble is very cute
The earrings are fine. The whole outfit, shoes and all, are fine. There’s something about Kate herself that’s off. I’m sensing this manic quality about her, like she’s desperate for something — just what it is she’s desperate for, I have no idea.
Why does she use her hands so much when she talks? Does that make for an action shot?
JAZZZZZZZ HANDS!
😅🤣😂😅🤣😂😅🤣😂😅🤣😂😅🤣😂😅🤣😂😅🤣😂😅🤣😂
Agreed, I think it’s her eyes. She looks a little like an unhinged person trying to hold it together in the eyes. Is this the makeup? I dunno.
I actually like this look on her.
She’s desperate to be Meghan so that William will be interested again.
100% convinced that part of the falling out was because she sensed he had a thing for Meghan.
@Flower … I absolutely agree with you. i’ve thought this ever since Harry told us that “Suits” was a favorite show of the Wales.
@moxylady. I took a few speech classes in college. My instructors basically slapped our hands if we ‘talked’ with them. You are not to so that bc it will show that you are basically speaking gibberish and using your hands as an exaggeration to compensate for it. So there were alternatives like holding a pen, or a pointer if you have a presentation behind you or something as simple as having one hand on your hip and you other relaxing.
If this woman took seriously her undeserved promotions like she did her stalking, she would be out here embarrassing herself on the regular.
@Flower: “100% convinced that part of the falling out was because she sensed he had a thing for Meghan.”
This could be the case, combined with many additional marriage-related issues coming to a head, even before Harry met Meghan. Honestly, if WanK were decent, kind, self-aware people, who actually loved each other, they might have been able to curb their worst character faults and work through their ton of personal problems. They might have been able to put into perspective their over-emotional reactions to meeting in the flesh, a television character they had likely both been drawn to.
Instead of jealousy, anger, and covetousness, WanK could have actually tried to get to know Rachel Meghan, the real person, and to treat her with respect. Moreover, if Willy and Kate had sincerely loved and cared about Harry, rather than being accustomed to using him, they would have been happy for him finding his soulmate.
I think so too! It’s a cute look
I have a similar top from Zara with the buttons like that on the sleeves hahaha
I like the outfit too! BUT! Kate walks like a sasquatch but what can we do?
Sézane is a gorgeous brand. If I was rich, I’d own half of their catalogue. Impressed that Kate wore them! Definitely a stretch for her. She looks good, even though she doesn’t have any panache. I could style her better though…
Totally agree. I was scrolling their latest season and decided if I had to exclusively wear one brand it would be Sezane. Not that I can afford it, sigh.
I love Sezane. They have a very Meghan aesthetic… such fun classy stuff.
As for Kate… I wonder what it’s like to not have your own personal style? Diana, Elizabeth, Meg… I guess she has buttons
Definitely one of Wiggington’s better looks.
The outfit is flattering and gorgeous! The eyeliner is unflattering and reminds me of her old tattooed-on wedding look.
the eyeliner is odd and does anyone else feel like they’re not photoshopping her anymore? I’m not used to seeing her face look like this so often—I thought that was only when she went abroad and wasn’t photographed by the Rota.
But I do love the outfit. Yes, it’s.inspired by Meghan but it looks more or less right on Wigs.
OMG @Snaggletooth…i was trying to put my finger on it but you’re right! I was like why does she look so rough lately??? Yes, they aren’t shopping every bag and wrinkle off her face now. Refreshing from my 39 year old standpoint but it’s jarring when she has looked pristine for years. It’s either that or the smoking and tanning and fighting with peg has caught up with her.
The outfit is a winner! Her eyebrows are off too, and that’s what is adding to the look of mania, there is just something quite off; wiglet, eyebrows, liner, expression. just not jiving.
yes, the outfit is cute, the eyeliner is awful. Like pre-social media, we don’t know how to blend teenager makeup awful. Has her makeup always been this badly done but the photoshop people fixed it in post?
She has so much money and spends so much of it on herself. The least she could do is spend it on getting a makeup artist or getting someone to teach her how to do her makeup for photos. Because we know she cares alot about photo-ops.
YES! I didn’t even notice how strange the eyebrows looked until i went and looked. Wow.
This is a very Jolie look, even more so than Meghan because Jolie has actually worn this exact outfit (knit set combo) whereas I don’t think Megs has (in full cream). The outfit works and looks clean.
As for her countenance, I think it’s as simple as low BMI, age, stress and fillers. We all know fat and collagen is what keeps the face looking young. She lacks the fat and we all lose collagen as we age. Shes tried to fill her face back in with filler and lift up her upper face with the brows, but it’s never going to look natural. It’ll never fully settle in a way that does look natural (look at her jowls and jawline). She looks good fresh out of the office and then the fillers dissolve or migrate and she looks like this. Even Meg’s face has thinned out after she lost all the baby weight, but she’s not injecting her face full of stuff to keep it full.
I’m now in my late thirties and probably over 20lbs heavier than I was when I was in my 20s…but people still think I’m a decade younger. Love it or hate it, the extra pounds help—lose the waif body but gain the full baby face 😅
@Lux – I disagree with your assessment K’s look being more of Angelina Jolie than MM. Jolie may have worn the exact outfit but K’s rationale for doing so was to cosplay MM and more sinisterly tag MM’s MH function such that the focus on MM would be on her expensive outfit ( disregarding the highly successful workshop put together by Archwell Foundation) but with K’s it will be about Mental Health .

Kate Middleton steals the limelight from Meghan’s NYC visit
https://www.geo.tv/latest/514044-kate-middleton-steals-the-limelight-from-meghans-nyc-visit
She has taken the cosplay to a higher sinister level – erasure. In the words of Barbara Streisand ““You can clone the look of a dog ( or a person, in this case MM), but you can’t clone the soul.” Selah
I agree, this is a nice outfit and she isn’t crazy overdressed for the occasion. Even her hair is looking somewhat less ridiculous.
I agree, it’s the best that she’s looked in a long time.
Looks like someone is getting much MUCH better at the Meghan cosplay. This is a perfect Megan look – monochrome sweater/fluid skirt combo. Our kkhatie is clearing levels to get to the pencil skirt rank, just watch.
She did manage to not screw this up. The earrings, shoes, proportions all work. I can’t believe I just wrote that!
The eyeliner – I think she’s going for Megan’s smokey eye, but using a harsh eyeliner and not eyeshadow to do it. Very rookie move, and shocking for someone who supposedly has stylists?
KATE LOVES ❤️ MEGHAN, THAT’S ALL I HAVE TO SAY 😁 AND I DON’T BLAME HER BECAUSE I LOVE ❤️ MEGHAN TOO😁
@Lukker , this is worse that MM cosplay. It’s either MM & Kate have secretly reconciled or there is an agenda to cancel MM.

This would explain the reason for KM wearing the cream outfit so that she can ride on the coattails of MM & even have the readers mix up the work covered MM & attribute it to KM . It would not surprise me if DM actually transposes KM with MM.
@Jemmy read my post on one of the articles yesterday on why the UK media re now linking Kate to Meghan.
This is 100% deliberate Meghan erasure at play – problem is Kate has no personality, humanity or empathy to go with the cos-play outfits i.e. you can buy style but not substance.
@Flower – I agree with you re the erasure of MM and also the possibility that PW had a thing for MM – if not outright then he initially did like MM as a person but Kate with her insecurity wasn’t having any of that .
Also what I mentioned re DM / Express taking things further in attributing MM’s work to Kate ,GEO TV has actually gone further to state that ” Kate Middleton steals the limelight from Meghan’s NYC visit ”
https://www.geo.tv/latest/514044-kate-middleton-steals-the-limelight-from-meghans-nyc-visit
The story in full from the GEO TV web
Kate Middleton on Wednesday visited a university as part of her efforts to students and their mental health.
She also witnessed how students were settling in a few after the new semester started.
The outing came one day after World Mental Health Day, which saw Kate give a speech about the importance of mental wellbeing in young people. Kate and husband Prince William hosted a forum and a series of workshops with young people to mark World Mental Health Day on Tuesday.
Continuing their work in the mental health space, the couple set out on solo outings on Wednesday, with Kate, 41, traveling to Nottingham, and William, 41, highlighting the wellbeing of emergency service workers in Milton Keynes.
Hours before Kate visited the university, Prince Harry and Meghan Markle returned to New York City to speak at an event on World Mental Health Day.
The Duke and Duchess of Sussex represented the Archewell Foundation at the Project Healthy Minds event in Hudson Yards on Tuesday, where they spoke in a panel about mental wellness in a digital age.
Meghan’s supporters think Kate Middleton tried to steal the limelight from the Duchess’ New York City visit.”
Soooooo … I think one of her eyes was watering. I used to use a type of eyeliner that would inevitably give me raccoon undereyes if i so much as teared up. And…I hate to say it, but maybe she’s got some things to tear up about.
Her outfit is nice. But this woman is deeply deeply unwell.
Jokes are made about it. People seriously bring it up. Some of its concern trolling. Sure.
she’s disappearing. Williams violent rages – only pillows- are talked about all the time. They are very obviously separated and she got the shaft in that department. And she does appearances where her wig is askew and her hands are flying around and she’s laughing like a maniac when everyone else looks somber or serious.
Yes. She’s an awful human. Maybe out from under her abusive mother and husband she might become better but I doubt it.
Bottom line though. She’s deeply unwell and doesn’t seem to be getting the help she needs.
Yes, very unsettling, unhealthy vibes from her. I assume the institution would prevent her getting help just as they blocked Meghan from getting help.
I agree, I think it’s a marked improvement over her recent appearances. To feel fresher and more modern she would have needed different accessories (the purse and pearls are adding ten years to this outfit), but this is elegant, not theme-dressing-y and event appropriate, so that’s something. You need to wear heavier make-up when you bear beige because beige will wash most people off, but the heavy eye-liner is not the way to do it.
I feel really conflicted that I actually like one of her outfits and think she looks really nice. Like, what is wrong with me? Is the sky green?
The outfit is really nice and I prefer it to Meghan’s ( given my persona style) but I have to remember that MM’s setting was more formal than that of Kate’s – I mean she was hosting MH TALKS with some serious health official and media person from the NBC so her out fit was more or less appropriate. Kate was visiting University Students which may have been an impromptu visit to counter whatever competition she is in with MM.
Back to Kate, there is no issue copying MM – I mean imitation is the greatest form of flattery. It’s the motive behind the copying which is ride on Meghan’s coattail and worse still erasure which is what seems to be at play judging from the Daily Fail’s and GEO TV articles which is really AWFUL especially given their willingness to decimate MM in the media.
Also, she seems to be an active participant in all of this nonsense. She must be in a very desperate situation re her relationship with W & the RF. She needs help!!!
Agreed, I opened this post and was like “oh my god, that’s a nice outfit!” Small thing – the buttons are unnecessary. But all in all this is definitely one of her better looks.
I used to not believe y’all on this site about the button fascination. Then I saw a pix of her doing some Xmas thing and she was in a sweater with buttons on the shoulders. And here’s another sweater with buttons. Krazy.
Sezane makes some great classic pieces. The outfit is cute, I love the skirt. Her Meghan stalking creeps me out to no end, but good job on the wearable separates Mood Board
I think the outfit is quite nice. I wish the earrings weren’t quite so dangly/long, but they do look pretty – I think this was a good choice for her. If she smudged her eyeliner, it would soften the look. She tends to go for blues and grays – she should try some taupe or brown with this outfit.
The one thing I am not seeing is that she is wearing a wig. I enlarged the photos and the hair is definitely attached to her scalp (no lace front). I think she just got an ill-advised cut/color/highlight – it’s just not her. She looks great with darker hair.
She looks perfectly fine. I’m not a fan of round necklines, but otherwise I like how she looks. I can’t imagine wearing white. I’d be afraid I’d somehow get it smudged.
Haha the hands! The crazy eyes ! Good thing? I like the outfit.
So I’ve noticed that when she bugs her eyes out you can see all the way around her Iris. Like white all the way around. That’s a little unusual no, and maybe a sign of medical problems, no? I certainly can’t make my eyes do that no matter how much I try.
Edit: you can see the 360 white effect better in the MH speech post. But I swear it’s there.
IDK but in the old days I don’t think they would have published such high-res pics of her, to the extent that we can study the whites of her eyes. But I also don’t think her eyes looked like this a few years ago.
I know… her expression and eyes always look manic and wild to me. Mental health is such a serious topic and she has the weirdest expressions and her eyes are unsettling. I would get like this ( to a less degree) when I was taking my anxiety meds and was sleep deprived. My eyes will be crazy and I felt very manic. I am not saying that she is taking meds , I am just saying her expression is not normal.
Like the outfit though… the brand is amazing. The shoes sucks, but overall this is a win. Meghan is all over her walls!
Yeah… to be fair, that look from Sézane is on my wish list, but in dark green, because I’m fat. 😀 I really liked it in the lookbook and don’t mind it on Kate. Although, I will replace the buttons with more interesting, modern ones.
Omg, thanks for the color info. Just got it in dark green!
OMG in dark green would be gorgeous! Looking now
those buttons are so sad lol
Just bought it too. Love that outfit!
And I too am off to Sezane lol also preferring dark colors lol
Now that most people have said this fits Kate well, she should go ahead and get this in green. She has a habit of doing that anyways.
Agree @Jais. Kate should go ahead and get it in green. It’s one of her better outfits. I’m not buying into her fashion. The choice of a cream colored outfit is definitely a CHOICE after Meghan’s look. Macy’s & Nordstrom’s have similar fashion ensembles. If I choose to buy. Not jumping on the Kate wore it thing. Grrrr. Still stuck on Kate not correcting a horrific lie about Meghan and being a horrific b*tch to Meghan in public/private.
Poor sausage must be exhausted working 2 days in a row. Surely she is owed a 4-week break now.
She looks nice in that, the buttons match her hair. Except the shoes, I hate it when people’s toes show through shoes (unless they are wearing sandals)
Man, Archewell has her fake working her fl@t @ss off this month!
the shoes are awful. the outfit would look more modern and flattering if the skirt were shorter and she wore nice shoes for once. and my god, the hair. that hair is so gross and even worse, just so unflattering. it’s dragging her down. it’s become her persona for some weird reason and it’s truly bad.
You see her toes so much because someone is not wearing stockings or whatever she wears. Goodness, off to get the smelling salts.
Same. Toe cleavage ruins a shoe look for me. I don’t care how great the shoes are if they are enclosed we shouldn’t see any part of the toes.
Her eye job does not look bad even though the wig is distracting from it.
Basic betty
I actually think the actual outfit is a nice look for her – streamlined, chic, good length for the skirt – but the Meghan cosplay is just so obvious again. I dont know if Meghan has worn this exact outfit, but it just screams “meghan” after all her monochromatic looks at Invictus.* The earrings dont work with it though and that handbag looks stupid. Also, her eye makeup looks uneven, like the eyeliner is heavier under one eye than the other. Sigh. such a mess. Even a simple outfit like this – she ends up getting it wrong.
*and before a Keen defender comes for me, yes, I know other women besides Meghan have worn monochromatic looks. But again, in the context of Kate, nothing is just a coincidence.
You are right! The whole monochromatic look is pure Meghan…and even more the whole monochromatic ivory look is pure Meghan.. she just wore a similar monochromatic ensemble just yesterday…
@Becks: Kate can wear whatever she likes. The fact is she was very content dressing like the Queen and pre-divorce Diana before Meghan came on the scene. Meghan was bashed for outfits and colours that Kate is wearing now.
Exactly. The change is undeniable.
And the bare legs. It’s apparently OK to bare your legs now. 🙄
I hadn’t even noticed the bare legs. Ugh, Meghan got ROASTED for exactly this.
As usual, Kate should be sending thank you notes, flowers and fruit baskets to Meghan. If Meghan had never entered the picture, would Kate have ever worn suits, monochrome or bare legs? Highly unlikely.
She’s even copykeening Meghan’s manicure. It’s just too much.
(And yes, plenty of people wear neutral nail polish; Kate is not usually one of them.)
I was going to say, maybe like Meg at Invictus, she’s doing her own makeup but it just dawned on me that I have no idea if she’s been doing it all along or she has someone doing it for her. But that eyeliner has got to go, it makes her look haggard. Is there no one who cares about her and will tell her this before she leaves the house??
She did her own makeup for her wedding (with some help) and it was pretty bad – really overly done with the heavy eyeliner and way too much blush in the wrong part of her cheeks.
She can just about get away with the heavy eyeliner now, but she will start looking like Elizabeth Taylor if she keeps this up.
She does look haggard, the badly-done makeup just emphasizes it. She also has been looking doughy and puffy in the face this year. Between her parents’ financial problems and Peg’s volatility, she could be having a lot of sleepless nights. I’d almost feel sorry for her but then I can’t erase the image of her scary vibes towards Meghan at the funeral walkabout, along with all the other truly sh*tty things she did to and said to Meghan, of which there is a long, long, long list. She made her own bed, let her lie in it, I say.
Quick, H&M visited a school, I must visit one as well!
Wow that was fast a cream outfit the day after Meg. I see that claw hands have now been fully integrated into her repertoire. Look at me I’m so much more than just jazz hands and a maniacal smiler!
I was just thinking that the Kopykeening is happening without hours now, rather than weeks. Meghan wears all cream yesterday and Kitty’s in it today already. And even though I’m sure she had this outfit already purchased, I don’t believe she was planning on wearing it until she saw the NY photos.
Honestly she looks great. Best wig so far, too, or maybe just worn correctly this time!
She maybe trying to walk like Meghan, in her head, but the results are giving Groucho Marx in a skirt.
She walks v badly. She always remnds me of a farmer!
She’s probably in pain, those bunions hurt to look at.
The top is especially cute. I wish I could wear cream; it just makes me look washed out though.
She’s a human condom!
Omg, I will never be able to unsee that now 🥴🤣
OMG you win the internet 🤣 😂
So I like this cream sweater set on her. The fit actually works. Although, I didn’t notice the buttons at first! They’re rather unnecessary but whatever. I do see the walking thing, it’s almost a crossing of the ankles step, and while I absolutely wouldn’t put it past Kate to be trying for that, it probably has as much to do with the long slim skirt restricting her steps. That said, the skirt could be helping her try out a new walk that is eerily similar to her sil’s distinctive and elegant gait.
Oh she definitely does and she is obviously obsessive with it. This is giving very “blue salt” (sp?) in cream color which is a favorite autumn winter color for Meghan. She knows exactly what she is doing, I just can’t understand why and for what purpose?
* sorry got posted under the wrong conversation.
Meant to be posted under #17 @amybee comment, sorry.
I actually love this entire look. So much better than trying to force someone’s entire look. If she wants to take elements of it (neutral tones, monochrome), fine. At least here, she’s wearing something that looks good on her.
Why couldn’t she do a full tuck or a half-tuck with this? I don’t like how it looks, it feels really grandma Ruth! The earrings don’t work with the outfit, I’d keep a simple pair of golden hoops and be done with it! And Princess Karen, stop copying Meg, it’s disturbing!
Is there any doubt that Kate has a Meghan lookbook? Kate never dressed like this before Meghan came on the scene.
THIS right here. it looks so wildly different (and “modern”) on Kate because this isn’t her style. Kate’s never looked modern. Kate’s never dressed in knits, much less monochrome cream-coloured knits. Her style has always been coat dresses and flouncy/frilly dresses. It all feels like a Meghan costume on Kate.
@dido –
“It all feels like a Meghan costume on Kate.”
Except with buttons.
Kolonizer Kitty Krack-up redux.
Good God she needs to stop with the claw hands. The entire look is unfortunate from head to toe.
If I had a hairbrush and a pair of scissors, I could make that wiglet look a lot better.
Not a fan of the buttons. I do like the outfit tho. But she’s really stuffed her feet into those shoes – the left one is bulging out of the top. Looks very uncomfortable.
OK, buttons aside, I can get on board with this look! I think it’s cute and the colour tone works for her. She also seems a bit subdued – no manic grins or open mouth gawping, although the claw hands are still in evidence.
Ok I love this outfit tbh (but hate the shoes) but holy moses whoever said the curtain bangs were covering a recent ponytail lift come and collect your prize!! Her eyes look totally different to me.
Her whole face is different and it’s obvious to pictures that aren’t photoshopped
She’s been getting a lot of fillers/injectables (cheeks, top lip) and surgery since 2017. I wonder what changed for her? /s
She’s clearly had a bleph and a ponytail lift. Her upper eyelids look totally different.
Also maybe laser under eye?
No shame in procedures of course (I am looking for something non Botox to help w my under eye area) but her aesthetic work is always SO BAD.
I don’t understand why bc she should have access to the best.
And yes heinous makeup ugh. Outfit is great. Hate the shoes and the earrings
The problem is, her face has no volume to it any longer, so she’s in a cycle: she’s having procedures done to fight the sagging due to a too thin face but nothing takes properly because there’s nothing to anchor it by means of facial substance.
The ensemble works, the fit of the shoes though 😬.
i like it- its very Duchess of Sussex.
i know. it’s a nice look but definitely meghan inspired.
Cream top, cream bottom, taupe shoes. Just like Meghan yesterday.
Has she got dark eyeshadow on the inner corners of her eyes? That’s a choice.
The outfit is very Meghan-esque, I actually like it. Imagine how chic this could look with a neat bob though.
The outfit is lovely, and suits her a lot. I agree, she would look a decade younger and so much fresher with a bob above her shoulders. Especially since she wouldn’t need any hair pieces because layers will create more than enough volume. I have a feeling that William likes long hair (see: Rose H) which is why she is sticking with it.
She wants to be Meghan so desperately, it’s embarassing.
The one big crazy eye and claw hands are distracting. She looks insincere in every photo. She is posing and poorly acting for the cameras.
She looks fine, I’d wear that outfit . The hair is bad, it looks like a doll’s head.
This is such a bad attempted at Meghan cosplay Kate just looks bad every time she try’s to copy Meghan it fails. The color of the outfit completely wash her out she doesn’t have the skin tone to pull off this type of color in her attempt to competition with Meghan she end up looking foolish .
Pretty outfit. She looks nice. I like the minimalist look on her. That said, she also does not project one iota of real interest or involvement despite what her words say.
It’s an attractive outfit and looks fine on her, but something isn’t fine with her face. Her eyes and forehead are frozen, it looks like she’s clenching her jaw, and then, there’s the dated and blotchy makeup. She just doesn’t look like a healthy and happy woman. Maybe I’m imagining, but I’m getting a Princess Charlene vibe here.
It’s just a personal thing, but I hate little fussy handbags that have no purpose. In the top photo, the bag is open and it’s obvious there’s nothing in it.
That surgery/makeup combo is so off, she ends up looking way older than she actually is. If these photos have been photoshoped then the person doing it is not doing a very good job.
She does look way older than she is. Always. The first photos of her at any event get the most p/shop attention, such as here where she’s walking alone, and then as the series progresses the work becomes less. People on the DM are always banging on about how she should have been a model – she’d have been shown the door of any agency and told to think again about her life choices. She’s an attractive woman of a type who’s looking rough for her age, despite work done and sometimes done badly.
@Eurydice: I think everything fell out of the bag, since the clasp doesn’t work.
In the bottom photo the clasp is closed. I’m thinking the photographer said “ooops, your bag is open, let’s take this shot again.”
@sparrow, you are so right about the photoshoping going downhill as the photos progress ! That walking photo has so many filters on it oh my god ! It’s just weird of them not to photoshop the close-up shots though.
Princess Charlene is not a mean girl like kate.
All I can see is that jacked up left eyebrow/eye.
I actually really like Sezanne but going for the cream in cream look the day after Meghan wore it is a bit too obvious. Such a style stalker. Out and about posing for pics once again.
This!
Imagine how miffed Kate is that Meghan wore a suit in NYC that she’d never be able to pull off.
I know Meghan didn’t choose the off-the-shoulder Altuzarra because Kate couldn’t copy it — she’s not petty, though I am — but I did enjoy that aspect of Meghan’s gorgeous look.
Meghan has worn off the shoulder before. Recall she wore pink Carolina Herrera off the shoulder suit to some royal thingus circa 2018 and britmedia howled “BREAKING royal protocol!” She also wore a shoulder baring black plaid blazer to Cardiff, Wales ~2018. Britmedia probly howled about that too. Kolonizer Kitty may not be able to pull off bateau neckline as well with her hunched posture and bony frame.
The outfit is a really good look for her, but I’m with Kaiser on the earrings. Too big, too gaudy. The earrings, the heavy eye makeup and hair look so dated in these pictures, like she’s on some bad daytime soap.
Kate’s new hair reminds me of Loretta Lynn. Coal Miner’s Daughter especially the hair.
Kate has the same hand gestures no matter the topic, context, or place. It’s like she has a repertoire of hand gestures that she bring out, perhaps to distract from the vacuousness of her conversations. If you’re busy distracted by her jazz hands, you may not notice that she is incoherent.
Just once, I’d like to see everyone in the front row make claw hands when Kate does.
this is a win for me. she looks great. monochrome works bc the shades are the same rather than her grey outfit. even hair is better…curtain bangs aren’t covering half of her face. casual, polished and fits the buttons protocol she likes. i don’t mind that she likes buttons honestly…it’s the poor styling choices with some of the buttons that get me.
On the whole, it’s a win look for me too. She looks good here no matter how many buttons she has… what I don’t like: the suede shoes…think about this outfit with the shoes Meghan wore yesterday…
Why always with the jazz claws?
My god the back of that wiglet is TRAGIC. Also I think the heavier eyeliner is too distract from how tired she looks. But is having the opposite effect.
She’s so thin, it hurts my feelings. I’m convinced she’s wearing these dowdy outfits to cover up just how emaciated she is. It’s sad. The outfit is okay, but there’s just too much cream going on! Like someone funnily pointed out up-thread, she looks like a condom. Now I just can’t unsee it. Oh, what a mess you’ve made again, Keen.
OK, claw /jazz hands ✏️, manic eyes ✏️replikate of Megan’s colours ✏️. BIG blue ✏️buttons ✏️so another day another keen show.
Have you noticed that keen has magic hair (yes I know it’s wiglets) but by God she makes it so obvious, the color is slightly different from the day before, but the FRINGE is a completely different length!! Please, please, please little Palace people, it’s mental health week, so HELP the mad bint now!!
Hi Mary. Her hands always get me! i don’t get the time to be on here much these days but always like your comments and try to post underneath. from memory, you’re UK based and therefore sharing the exact same lousy weather as i am. i’m aware you’re going thru a v difficult time and hope you’re doing OK. x
I noticed her hair colour is different too, shades of Amal Clooney in Venice recently with toffee coloured highlights?
idk, i think she’s always had a thin build, even in pics of her as a teenager playing field hockey. and bc of her body shape (no hips) makes her look elongated. tbh Meghan has a lean build as well. i don’t love the comments about Kate being too thin just as much as I don’t love comments about Meghan’s body too. it makes me uncomfortable we are policing their bodies as if we know what’s healthy for them.
This is the best she’s looked in a while. The make up needs to be updated but other than that, no notes. Even the wig looks good. She should stick to this sort of style instead of the tragic trouser suits she wears.
Definitely one of her better attempts at cosplaying Meghan and yes Kaiser she is trying to walk like Meghan. She has been copying her mannerisms, facial expressions and gestures for quite some time.
It is truly terrifying and likely one of the sources of friction between her and William. Imagine watching your wife enact this level of insanity.
I am 100% convinced now that one of the issues between Kate and William was that William not so secretly was attracted to Meghan.
i def see the copying of m’s clothes but if kate’s trying to walk like meghan she’s failing badly; she walks down and to one side, as if she’s in pain slightly in one leg. This is her mother’s way of walking. She can try all she likes, it won’t work. Like flower says, imo william was attracted to meghan at the get go and things just went sh/t shaped from there!
I think Kate is out and about in preparation for her new role after the divorce. I’ll be she is going back to college, probably the same school Pippa went to. She’s also going to keep working on Shaping Us and coparenting the kids, but she will be legally forbidden from making any public appearances on her own or with the royal family, except for a handful of appearances with the kids per year.
Trying to cancel and erase MM it seems
@Lukker , this is worse that MM cosplay. It’s either MM & Kate have secretly reconciled or there is an agenda to cancel MM.
Check the below caption as per daily fail
“Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton are united in their work on mental health issues – despite their disagreements”
https://www.dailymail.co.uk/femail/article-12618527/Meghan-Markle-Kate-Middleton-united-work-mental-health-issues-despite-disagreements.html#comments
This would explain the reason for KM wearing the cream outfit so that she can ride on the coattails of MM & can claim to have worked together on MH issues
Jem, I think this is the long sought out answer. Kate is copying Meghan and everyone else as a way to be “in” or to say “yeah we are working together, she takes that side I take this side”. THIS IS SO CRAZY!!! TO ME.
“Yeah we both got approached to wear aqua— shoes.”
I remember someone else thought she could be copying to say ” I like you”. But I think it’s deeper. Kate is copying -on the spot, in real time-. It’s like they are working together.
For once she looks nice and appropriate. And she kept her buttons! This is a good style stalk because she put her own buttons spin on it.
Yes, I think this is a great look for her – modern and professional without being stuffy.
This is just a little too much single white female for me.
Good night.
Ha ha! True. i wouldn’t mind if she’d shown the woman some kindness and respect, but to rip her off this much is a low blow and actually odd.
Late to the theatre on this one – could someone explain all the pillow fight stuff? Haven’t a clue what the refs are. Thank you.
There was a story a while back that said that w and k didn’t throw vases at each other when they fight but only pillows. It was related to the release of a book I think by Clive Irving.
Wow! if they have to qualify it, it’s happening the bad way. thanks nic919
This outfit is the best I’ve ever seen on Replikate. The earrings are a bit cheap looking and her shoes are dreadful, but overall, this is might be her best look.
Good lord she is looking rough though. Apparently they aren’t photoshopping her anymore. I wonder why.
I actually like this ensemble for her. The cut of the skirt makes her look a little curvier. And I actually love “Winter White,” as we used to call it, as a color for cooler months. My only issue is, naturally, too many buttons. A detail at the wrist of the sweater would have been enough, but that’s a few too many buttons.
Overall though? It’s a nice look.
Style stalking aside, I like this outfit. This is her best outfit yet.
Am I the only one who would sign up for this elective at college: The evolution of Kate’s hands: from Jazz hands, to lobster claws, to Mr. Krabs sees a dime, to no really, the fish was this big, to this is my pretend Oscar.
The best was saved till last – Your comment is hilarious! i call her hand posture the grapple hand, as if she’s grappling with a momentous issue when she’s no doubt talking about what colour her nail varnish is.
LOL Sparrow! Spot on! I love your take on this.
Those hands remind me of the mechanical grappling hands that as kids we used to maneuver to get the toy in the booths at amusement arcades.
*SIGH*. All I can see is someone so painfully thin it’s triggering.
I know, right? Just look at her hands. They tell the story.
She looks nice. Cut the hair, tone down the makeup, sure. But definitely the best she’s looked in a while as far as the clothes go. And I think we can just expect her to copy Meghan now, so that’s that.
This woman looks older than her 41 years, she is not aging well.
Meghan’s makeup always compliments her features, which makes her face look soft, fresh, and approachable. Kate’s make up seems to age her more and makes her look a bit scary, hard faced and manic. I do like Kate’s clothing here, which ironically is similar to what Meghan would wear though (pathetically…🙃).
Are these bangs her real hair now? The color lately has looked a little green. I think I like her darker and more purple undertones.
My jaw dropped for two reasons with this look: 1) it is actually fantastic 2) it’s the same monochromatic cream that Meghan literally wore to the mental health forum yesterday
I mean at quick glance, you could think it IS Meghan. If this happened to me, even if it was purely accidental in terms of Meghan wearing all cream/white, and my monochrome cream outfit for the next day, I would go out of my way to swap the colour! Get it in Navy or green or any other colour to AVOID the comparisons and the side eye. Kate is trolling all of us at this point, and I can’t fathom the mind set of someone who does this.
I don’t think neutrals are the best for her–I think that’s my personal bias. I’m tall like she is and when I was younger I was more her weight, too. This outfit makes her look taller and even more slender. That’s what happens when someone tall and think wears this type of look. I know. I wish she would have worn a color–not a jewel tone, but a softer something.
I’m beginning to think her hair is long to hide behind because her face has issues. That’s what the bat wings were about, I think. To distract from the eyebrows. The only picture above which shows her looking straight ahead shows the hair covering the outer portion of one eyebrow. That’s not by happenstance. I wonder if her ‘manic’ face is also to distract from her face issues.
I’m not too terribly worried about the bm being able to erase Meghan by using Cant. That’s not going to happen. Meghan has a presence when she walks into a room that Cant simply doesn’t have and never will. I honestly believe that the bm are doing her a grave disservice reminding everyone of Meghan in relation to Cant. That comparison, except for some sycophants, will never be to Cant’s advantage.
I just find her hair nauseating. I can’t imagine attending a function (business or otherwise) and someone comes at me with that wiglet and tonsils. It looks like an elephant chewed off the ends of her hair. How can she not see how ridiculous she looks? And when she touches her hair and then shakes hands, ewwww!
It’s unfortunate that Kate has low self esteem issues to have to copy Meghan. Even one of the articles I read yesterday from Twitter(source was either People or another major outlet) called out that she “rarely” does speeches. 😬
Just from my own experiences I remembered when an acquaintance was trying to copy the family vacations we would take and places we would go to. People notice.
In this case more people(inc ones who are neutral) start to notice Kate’s obsession with Meghan. And it’s not a good image for her at all.
Going to a school like literally less than 24 hours after HM visited one in NYC. Wow. I have to say at least the students seem to really relate to both HM and were very engaging. And Meghan actually looked like a student with her letterman jacket, so she can be more relatable to them.
Seems very obvious that Kate is trying to hide the hairline area on each side of her forehead. Screams face-lift, if you ask me.
And I totally agree that her makeup is dated. She definitely has a fondness for racoon eye makeup, which is an early aughts relic. I think she knows she’s on the way out so she DGAF
Wow I just noticed that her heavy makeup is very obvious even in the full body header pic.
Also, her hair color is awful. It’s got too much brassiness. I remember a while back, Kate showed up at an event with her hair parted in the middle, a nice straight blow-out, and a noticeably darker, rich chocolate brown shade. I thought it was quite flattering and made her green eyes pop. Shame she went back to this brassy mess
She is starting to resemble Fergie (face). Especially around eyes
Ferg ie also made those exaggerated faces like Kate does now. Even on her wedding day ferg ie was mugging.
I shop A LOT of Sézane and their inventory is notoriously tiny. They make small batches and rarely restock unless it is a core item. As of 5:30 pm NY time, the set she’s wearing is still saleable in almost all sizes. Compare that to MM who literally crashed jcrew for half a day and there you have it.
The skirt is still available but the top is still listed as sold out in the color she’s wearing (Natural) since I first looked earlier today. Interesting to hear their items are made in limited quantities, I was curious how many might have been sold.
This is honestly one of her better outfits. Even the shoes are passable, even if a cognac might have been a tad more lively. I still think she looks secretly miserable all the time, though. Not enough money in the world for me, y’all.
She looks like a giant washed out bowl of oatmeal. And a petty bowl of oatmeal at that.
This ensemble is an improvement for her. I do think she purposely chooses outfits that will invite comparison to Meghan. They’ve figured out that this is a guaranteed tactic to get her attention. And unfortunately it works when so many respond to the bait on social media 🤷♀️
She looks fine here. I think she intentionally chooses outfits that invite comparisons to Meghan.
They’ve figured out that will get them more attention on social media.
As for trying to copy Meghan’s walk; she has the gait of a lumbering truck driver with very poor posture. She couldn’t imitate Meghan’s graceful walk if she tried.
Lastly, what is going on with the left eye? I know faces are asymmetrical but with each new photo her mouth appears more tilted and it seems there’s more and more distance between her left eye and left eyebrow. Perhaps the constant manic gaping and wide-eyed looks are attempts to help her face look less lopsided.
In the videos I’ve seen Kate walks like she’s slopping hogs.
And her posture is always atrocious: sway back, often leaning back and with her head thrust forward.
I think she looks cute here. I don’t know if it’s copying Meghan because sometimes I just can’t outright tell, but she probably is copying her in some way. She really needs to do something about her hair. Maybe I just can’t believe that both of them are this stupid and just putting this out there for all the world to see.
Her left eye seems to be popping out some. Is it the rebellious left eyebrow or the new eyeliner? Not a good look.
Noticed the contour around the nose bridge and tear duct is not blended out. there is a very dark shadow.
Kate looks quite elegant! Love this look on her.
The hands, my God, the hands!
And the hair, what does her real hair look like and how does she get her wigs to stay on? I confess, I am praying for a good gust of wind or a bird looking for a new nest to utterly destroy a wig one of these days.
That being said, the outfit, bar the buttons is great. And that is most praise I have given Waity since 2015.
I get Sezane ads on Instagram for some reason. I need to be a rich lady because I would definitely by them up. Love this cream set, but like everyone else said, here eyeliner is ghastly. I don’t think she was ever taught how to properly do her own makeup.
I am sorry but this outfit looks cheap and dated to me.
Late getting to read my celebitchy but I agree with Flying Fish. I think it looks dated as well. I mean it’s okay but here she is once again getting praised to the skies for wearing an appropriate outfit. The bar is real low for this woman….
Her make up is horrible. He left eye is wonky… She looks like she squished her gigantic feet into small shoes and her wig is atrocious. It keeps changing by the day. Is anyone surprised she just had to make a visit to a school?
Also, even the derangers know Waity copied Meghan. Half of them said she “trolled” her. While some others defended and blatantly denied she would have never had the chance to order such an outfit in such little time lol. Clearly, she did. Its not a coincidence with Can’t that she literally stepped out in an all white/cream monochromatic outfit literally 1 day after Meghan. This woman is truly NOT well and Meghan literally js on her brain. Im also agree that Willy was attracted to Megban starting from when she played in Suits.
Kate for sure copies Meghan(from her hairstyles to her pantsuits) . I do agree that they or even Kate wants to associate herself to Meghan’s growing influence. Well Meghan’s beauty and fashion regiment spews 80M+ news articles in a month. Something desperately they want to attach themselves to 🙄 as they can’t do it on their Own. No shame at all and they don’t care that people can see Kates Insecurities.
