Let’s have a “Least Favorite Outfit Kate wore on the Royal Tour” Poll! William is boring and I have no idea when we’ll see Kate next, and we already talked/voted about the outfits we liked, so we might as well talk about the outfits we didn’t like. Yes, this is filler until Kate pops out of her hidey hole, but I think it will be fun nonetheless. I’m super curious to see how this one turns out.
As with the last poll, I’m only including Kate’s dresses and coats she wore, because the skinny jeans are throw-away outfits. A new poll this time around is the “Least Favorite Hat” Poll. I thought I’d add this one in simply because I want to make fun of the Demented Bunny Ears hat.
Also, as far as site maintenance, I’m going to start using a “Continue Reading” button on the home page. Each post with show up on the home page with an opening paragraph or two, then you will see a “Continue Reading” button in pink type that will take you to the rest of the article—as demonstrated below this paragraph. I’m doing this so that the home page and the past posts are easier to navigate (when I scroll down the home page it’s hard/annoying to find a specific post because the posts are so long).
Before I get to the poll, I want to bring something up regarding comments. All opinions are welcome here. But please be respectful of each other and differing opinions. And remember, when a conversation gets too heated, sometimes it’s best to agree to disagree.
I don’t know if anyone was on the old Glitz, Glam, and Gossip forum before it was closed last year, but I remember after Kate had announced her pregnancy and fake HG and was in hiding for a good while, that we started bickering with each other more and more and sometimes things got heated. I also know that in the press, when the royals go away for a good while—in Jan. and Aug./Sept. each year when the Queen is on vacation and no one really does much—the press starts going a bit nuts and will make anything into an article (even more than usual). It may be this pent up energy that boils over when there is a lack of royal work to comment on. I don’t know if that’s the case here, but I’ve seen that happen before. It’s for this reason (among the many others) that Kate should work more.
In any case, let’s have fun and chat about which Royal Tour outfits, and hats, we just could not stand.
1. Catherine Walker: Red Coat.
2. Tory Burch: black and white patterned dress.
3. Alexander McQueen: Light blue coat-dress.
4. Jenny Packham: Black cocktail dress.
5. Erdem: Green coat.
6. Emilia Wickstead: Teal dress.
7. Luisa Spagnoli: Red skirt suit.
8. Rebecca Taylor: Navy tweed skirt suit.
9. Roksanda Ilincic: Yellow and white dress.
10. Diane von Furstenburg: Blue and white print dress.
11. Zimmermann: White day dress.
12. LK Bennett: Blue and white poppy print dress.
13. Alexander McQueen: Dove grey coat.
14. No Id: Yellow broderie anglaise dress.
15. Stella McCartney: Blue dress.
16. Roksanda Ilincic: Coffee-colored dress.
17. Hobbs: Wessex dress.
18. Alexander McQueen: Pink shirt and skirt.
19. Catherine Walker: Green dress.
20. Lela Rose: White cocktail dress.
21. Temperley: Black coat.
22. Michael Kors: Blue tweed coat.
Here are the hats:
1. Gina Foster: Red pillbox hat. Worn upon arrival in New Zealand.
2. Jane Taylor: Teal hat with fern detailing. Worn to church the Sunday before Easter.
3. Jane Taylor: Grey hat with ribbon detailing. Worn to church for Easter Sunday.
4. Jonathan Howard: Dark blue hat with two pieces sticking out the back. Worn to ANZAC day service.
Interesting fact, Howard is an Australian designer. So Kate represented the host country with this selection. Too bad it makes her look like a demented bunny.
Demented bunny ears hat – ha ha!!
most of her outfits are too conservative and boring
I can understand that, but then again if she wore something not conservative, everyone would freak out and criticize her for that. Like most people were saying how that pink outfit was far too low cut for an official appearance (it totally showed her boobs when she bent over to talk to a little girl).
I think she could be a little tiny bit edgy and still look appropriate. At one point in the past couple of years she wore an outfit that, I think, demonstrated this. I can’t find the photo right now, and I don’t know the designer, but it was a dark brown coat, brown tights, and brown ankle boots…sounds awful in this description, but it looked great. Perhaps it was the tights and ankle boots, but something about it was interesting. I just don’t see that in all these other outfits.
That’s true. I agree with that.
As far as the outfit you’re thinking of, here are two pics of her in a brown coat and brown tights and brown ankle boots, is it either of these?

I agree 100%.
“I agree 100%” was meant to be a response to Adam.
Voting for my least favourite is so much harder! There was so many items I didn’t like!
I know, right. I don’t like the doily dress, I don’t like the Hobbs dress, I don’t like the boxy green Erdem coat. There are more ones that I dislike than ones I like.
I am going to try 1 picture of PG here to see if I am doing the links right.
BTW – KMR: would you like just pictures of Prince Grumpy from the tour, or are you ok with a some earlier ones?

Yes, that link worked.
I was actually thinking about including grumpy faces from previous pics, too. There are a bunch of grumpy faces from the Christening.
It looks like the link worked. Here are some more:http://images.smh.com.au/2014/04/16/5353784/th-484997063.jpg

Hope these make a good start.
Those are great.
My pleasure. I’ll add more as I find them. Let me know when you have enough.
I didn’t know that you used to be on GGG!!
My prediction: Erdem coat. There are multiple bad outfits, but that was just horrible, not so much the coat itself but how ill-fitting it was.
Hat #4 looks like a revise of “bunny-ears” party from her earlier days… 😀
re the bunny ears: Hahahaha!! Bunny ears: http://www.princess-diana-remembered.com/uploads/5/3/3/5/5335384/6219783.jpg
I really don’t like #11 and #14. I don’t like the entire look. Kate has beautiful hair and it usually looks great with everything she wears but it looked unkept in both of these pictures. Maybe it’s just the angles and lighting. Just looked again and I still don’t like them. PG is the cutest baby! Who could not love that adorable grumpy face!!
now we know why kate never attended the dinner with william, those geoegeous women, kate cant stand competition !
I was thinking the same thing after I saw how beautiful Cate Blanchett looked.
Hi Debbie, What is ggg?
GGG stands for “Glitz, Glam and Gossip”. It was a site Debbie and I used to frequent (Debbie was a mod). The person running the site shut it down a bit over a year ago.
Sorry, i meant Debbieb! Halia
