Princess Margaret was far superior to any wannabe movie star: Margaret was a true born Royal Princess who didn’t have to pretend to be who and what she was.
Hah, she still hasn't even figured out how to select the right undergarment .. nevermind the gown and occassion 😅 The worst red Carolina Herera dress for Veteran event .. red that represents blood for the Veterans ?
Yes, it did look somewhat tacky, and as though she had forgotten to put the real outfit on top. Years ago I made myself a plain evening/nightclub dress from a petticoat pattern. It was princess line with a little dart at the bust to bring the fabric into the front of the body. It had a round neckline which was faced and interfaced (not straps). It was a deep shimmery purple satin, and I added a decorative trim round the armholes and neck line, it. was a heavyweight fabric so it hung beautifully and sleekly. I also used the same pattern to make cotton dresses for holidays abroad., and I made some for a work colleague who was having her first holiday abroad I've still got the pattern.
Dior should send a cease and desist order to the narcissist telling her not to wear anymore of their clothes because on her they look like they came from Walmart!
The Biggest insult Dior is doing is refusing to make her an ambassador or calling her in order to dress her. Dior sees the meg playing dress up and their silence screams "we are not impressed"
I think that this slip dress was not as successful on Princess Diana because the lace at the top of the bodice does look like her bra is showing as Beebs said. It looks like Diana is wearing her underthings, having forgot her dress. Princess Diana wore so many fabulous outfits, that having a look miss on occasion is understandable. I also think that the necklace was too heavy above the delicate lace.
@@westzed23Oddly, that was the look she was going for. The coat she wore when arriving was designed to look like a silk robe over her lingerie. Her divorce had just been finalized and she wanted to look very non-royal. So go looking like you’re in your underwear? She was worried the lingerie look would embarrass Prince William.
The Meg unfortunately has not made good clothing choices ever - wrong style, wrong occasion, wrong fitting, wrong, wrong, wrong. I don’t believe she has ever had or has never listened to, any stylist or fashion advice. It’s a huge shame as the amount she has spent on clothing could support a small country 😢
Remember by the time Princess Margaret wore that gorgeous ,voluminous dress in 1951 the UK had only recently finished the rationing period for clothing. Ten years of ' Make do and Mend ' and a coupon scheme for clothing meant a dress like this would have been a real departure from what we had been used to seeing.
The back of Harry’s Coronation morning coat by Dior was shocking! The seams of the top and the tails were completely out of line. I could have done better than somebody did 😳
@@voneychiu2828 If you remember there was a ‘is he or isn’t he coming’ to the Coronation discussion. I think Dior had to rush out a morning suit for him and royally cocked it up.
When you showed Camilla in France I said wow, that’s a Queen, right there! Whoever dresses her they are doing a damn fine job. Mr King must’ve felt so proud of her.
I think Catherine doesn't wear Dior because Camilla wears it frequently. Catherine in Dior would immediately cause headlines like "Head to head: Who wore it best?" and the media would make a mountain out of it, insinuating Catherine is deliberately making a point by trying to out-dress Camilla, or trying to antagonise her.
Princess Catherine has a model figure. Her commitment to British designers is wonderful as they’re not showcased nearly enough. She projects a unique British look whether country casual to a goddess extraordinaire. She is a truly stunning woman with excellent taste, stature and confidence.
The concrete/stone coat she wore for the Platinum jubilee. The bigger problem was that her hat was a thinner fabric than the outfit. Hats must be the same thickness/weight of the outfit.
I never even noticed the hat because I was completely distracted by the lump on her right boob. Lots of people have said she was miked up at that event. If that lump wasn't a concealed microphone, it needs checking by a doctor.
Beebs, I know you think Prince Harry wearing Dior to the Coronation looked “sharp “, but if you look at him from the back view he had put on the jacket which had not been pressed and had fold creases. It looked dreadful!
He's used to having people make sure he's impeccably dressed- at least he was before the smeg. Now he's emulated his wife in dressing from the pile of clothes that are on the floor!
Markle is/was so clueless about the royals and the history of English royalty that she would have had no idea that several fashion houses have a long standing history with the royal family and that she has been such a divisive figure for them that, perhaps on principal alone, they want nothing to do with her.
Another informative and visually great show Beebs! I'm in the UK and old enough to have slept on the pavement to see Lady Diana Spencer become HRH The Princess of Wales - what memories - a hot sunny July day - and an amazing atmosphere. Diana absolutely rocked Dior and Versace. After the divorce she just looked amazing in everything - a chance to be a bit more daring but her style and impeccable attention to detail - she just looked amazing in anything - like Catherine - but definitely NOT Just Call Me H's current wife.
If you haven't seen it, watch the recent remake of Mrs Harris Goes To Paris. The costume designer recreated lots of post-war late 40s/early 50s Dior gowns, and they are so beautiful. Its a lovely feelgood movie, and the cast is perfect.
I don't think Princess Catherine has ever worn Dior, Chanel I've seen on her. But she is so beautiful and tailors her clothes to fit, proper foundation pieces and appropriate for the occasion. She is every design houses dream to dress. I imagine Dior would be dancing in the streets like they did after the end of the last world war if she called to order a new dress or outfit. She wears clothes, they don't wear her. She always looks fantastic in her presentation. When she wears something, it sells out and anything like it too. She is guaranteed great publicity for whatever designer she wears.
I loved this video. I don’t know how I missed it when it first was released. I’m just going to add my thoughts here now though. I love the clean, classic, unfussy look of Dior. The woman wears the dress and is beautiful in the dress; not the dress wears the woman. Christian Dior understood what a woman is and what makes her look best. He knew women’s figures and how to highlight them with fashion. Now my last comment is: I want to be a Princess and I want to wear these beautiful clothes and if I can get rid of Harry I will take Meghan’s place right now. I can do the job because I can listen, learn and keep my mouth shut!! Someone make it happen now!!!!
I was fortunate enough to see Princess Margarets dress at the Dior exhibition at the Victoria and Albert Museum a few years ago. Diana's slip dress was there too, not my favourite on her though. It was a breathtaking exhibition.
It's great, not, in my opinion,as good as the Dior exhibition,but worth a visit. I found Mademoiselle's history, especially wartime period, interesting.
I can imagine Princess Catherine wearing any of these and making them look glamorous.. especially the vintage sleek dress you mentioned would look good today! I was surprised that she hasn’t worn any!
She focuses on British designers, except occasionally to wear a designer from a country she's visiting. I don't think she's done many official visits to France.
The most important fact about Dior was the 1947 "new look" which had a feminie profile w large skirts..celebrating the end of WWII and shortages in fabrics. It changed 20th c fashion history. Photos abound from those legendary PAris collections.
There was an Australian broadcaster that has footage of something looking like a small frisby tucked into the front of her coat and she was fussing with the left collar point often as she was walking. I suspect the microphone story is true. Not to mention Major Jonnie Thompson was sitting right behind that pair.
Can we just reflect on the fact that Princess Margaret’s ballgown dress had a 21 inch waist? How many of us could wear that today, even at 21 years old?
Princess Charlene is my favourite royal for style: she embraces the most contemporary, sleek style which manages to look unfussy but SO glamorous as well. As a former Olympic swimmer her shoulders are not only a little, but a lot wider than her hips and she really knows how to dress for it. Although I have longer hair myself, I love the short cut on her. She is also willing to be a bit daring with her choices, and I believe spearheaded the wearing of trousers which previously wasn't a thing for other royal houses' public appearances. Just beautiful.
I would like to point out that Camilla’s outfit for Royal Ascot would have been planned months before. She had probably had three fittings before Megan’s incident broke.
I never liked the slip dress Diana wore to the Met Gala. It looks too much like she’s wearing her nightgown. It just wasn’t her. However, I dearly love the marigold suit she wears. I like the pink suit, but my heart belongs to the marigold.
Queen Camilla’s cape dress in France should be a poster look for the design house. Beautiful! And she looked gorgeous in it. Princess Charlene of Monaco also makes the brand look beautiful. Thank you for another fun look book and expert analysis. ❤
I think Catherine sticks to British designers, maybe the Commonwealth too. Probably because she is mindful as she was heavily criticized her early years and Dior is both French but also expensive. I also think Dior has a chic elegance but Catherine is more down to Earth elegance. It’s likely she’ll look stunning in a Dior piece, as it’s working with two different beauties.
Of course, Dior would want someone to wear their clothes who would make them look fabulous and Princess Catherine is definitely one of them not Yoko SohoCarparkle.
You notice how you know who deleted his comment after you came here yesterday now, he is stealing the comment you used just to get the top comment and is probably hoping for a pin too.🙄🤣
Princess Margaret looked stunning in her full skirt dress. She was a real fashion easter. The full skirts were such a break from the straight skirts of the 40s which were a result of fabric rationing. In the UK Clothes rationing remained in place until March 1949 and it was not until the early 1950s that most people could walk into a shop and be confident they could purchase an outfit that they dreamt off.
Why can't she buy the right size? The Morocco dress was 100000 pounds, you'd have thought she could have spent a couple of hundred quid on a good bra and slip.
Princess Margaret’s gown had a 21.65 inch waist! Now I know 18” was the strived for number at one point, but come on! 21 inches! It looked so tiny! My favorite dress was the delicate blue mini dress with ivory embroidery (or white?) and short sleeves. The beautiful cream wedding dress you featured on a Monaco Royal, I found it to make her hips look so narrow as to be boyish. Wide shoulders & extremely narrow hips. Gorgeous dress, horrible choice for her body. I quite agree on everything else you mentioned & think The House of Dior is an absolutely stunning collection of femininity! I personally love it! Thanks Beebs! So much love from Oregon ♥️ Jessica
Definitely add Princess Charlene of Monaco to the next bridal video, she is elegant. The embroidery on her wedding dress was beautiful but would love to hear what you think of the neckline as I thought it wasn’t the most flattering
I still believe she wore what would make her stick out like a sore thumb. 😮 Just like the christening picture & had instructions on colors! She would Google royal events, find a theme & then select a "look at me" outfit..imo😊
Queen Camilla has such an unassuming, effortless gait, and there lies her appeal and why she comes off looking totally royal! As far as Harry’s wife goes, I’ve seen her in only two outfits that may be deemed remotely ok on her. Otherwise she always looks like she got entangled in windblown sheets hanging in one’s backyard.
@@user-wi6cz4hh5b All the royal household have their own protocol. According to British protocol, when in the UK, Princess Catherine tries to help UK designers as a representative of the country (as much as possible, it's not an absolute rule). She would wear designers from the country she visits on tour if she has to buy pieces for events (as per protocol too), unless it's a re-wear. Even for her wedding she wore a UK designer's dress. I do think it's a good thing, it gives visibility to the companies of the country and helps the economy as well as the workers, from the couture house to the shops.
@@end_of_the_world-v8gFrom what I remember Princess Diana wore plenty of British designers, it was only after her divorce she really ramped up the glamour with Channel, Versace etc. The present queen has been dressed for years by Bruce Oldfield and she epitomises British country style in tweeds, waxed cotton. When in Scotland wears the most fabulous tartan skirts and coats. She doesn't pretend to be a fashion icon, she dresses for the job and looks good. Her best look in my opinion is formal evening dress and the big set piece jewellery suites which come out on important occasions.
💚💚💚 the Dior dress with the shamrock ☘ design Princess Charlene wore. Beebs, would ❤ if you'd do a video featuring LADY KITTY SPENCER'S amazing fashion looks.
Given Princess Margaret's gown had diagonal embroidery on the shirt, the asymmetric neckline brought balance to the look. Princess Charlene of Monaco is a swimmer, so, yes, she has swimmer's shoulders. I'd love to have more on her wedding dress and her stunning tiara! I believe The Court Jeweler has some good background on it Maybe the POW will wear Dior on a trip to France or at a State banquet/ event for France. She's generally very loyal to British brands but will wear designers from the country she's visiting. She's very good at diplomatic dressing. As for the meg.... her superpower is taking a beautiful outfit and turning it into trash. I've never seen anyone wear such expensive clothes so badly.
Truly stunning fashion house , its really sad that Catherine hasn’t worn Dior . However Princess Diana looked truly beautiful in Dior . its her that got me into wearing suits which i wear to this day ,i fell into classic designs and stuck with them .
I have never commented on your appearance, although I don't know why, but you look absolutely gorgeous!! You should really have on a ballgown, or just a gown! You are stunning, as always😅😅😅
You could have featured Beatrice Borromeo Casiraghi, Princess Caroline's exquisite daughter-in-law, as an example of a good Dior fit. After all, she is a brand ambassador for the house.
I love a good silk slip dress. I didn’t like the one Diana wore. I didn’t care for that particular lace and how wide it was, it killed it for me, made it look more like sleep wear.
Princess Margaret’s ball gown is absolutely gorgeous! I’d wear that today (if i could fit my fat arse into it 😂) I never liked Diana’s slip dress. It looked like a nightie. I remember the mocking in the magazines when she wore it. It wasn’t entirely well received. I have to give credit that Meg’s navy blue boat neck is one of her better outfits. I always thought she chose the navy to attach herself to the military around her, pseudo importance or credibility if you will. Camilla’s nave cape dress is one of my faves. The contrast with her white hair is fabulous. That cream maternity number would have to be one of the worst things she’s ever worn. It looks like she wrapped a sheet around herself in a 5 year olds version of an Arabian Sheik from an old movie.
I think Catherine doesn't wear Dior simply because she knows her aesthetics and Dior doesn't interest her, and that's completely fine. Dior will continue to dress real royals instead of pick-mes like The Meg.
I loved the fullness of Princess Margaret's dress. I also did not like the asymmetrical shoulders. I liked Diana's pink suit. Princess Charlene looked lovely in the cream gown. Perfect for her.
The Meg's dark blue Dior...look at Harry. I think she was trying to match him like she did with the red dress at that military event. She wore the stupid nude shoes because it was spring, but I think the dress is that colour to try to match with him. Edit: That white dress for the Jubilee always makes me think of Carmen Sandiego. Edit #2 - I don't think Catherine has ever worn Dior. She tends to stick to British designers and more affordable brands. Even when they went to Paris, she wore Chanel. Last Edit: I just wanted to add that I got very excited when I saw you'd posted again today. I loved your Duchess Dior video, though I really enjoy all of them. I literally planned my evening around getting to watch this. Thank you for all the work that you do.
The all white outfit at St. Paul's Cathedral. Look closely and you can see she was wired. You can see the wire behind her left ear snaking down from the messy bun and into her huge collar. The strange stand out storm flap at the back helped conceal the shape of the mic pack. That she was wired was known and she and Harry had a uniformed "minder" sitting behind the. Now Lt. Col Johnny Thompson. Eye candy plus plus! Harry also was wired. There is just one picture where you can see what looks like the button microphone just inside his left lapel. Odious, reprehensible pair.
I thought of Beebs recently when I went to the Victoria & Albert Museum's Diva exhibition! Some gorgeous designs through the ages with designer costumes worn by many famous people. She would have loved it!
In her day Princess Margaret looked like a movie star so it’s little wonder that Dior had such a long relationship with her
She was soooo glamorous 😍
Princess Margaret was far superior to any wannabe movie star: Margaret was a true born Royal Princess who didn’t have to pretend to be who and what she was.
Question: Hovv, does MM get avvay vvith this mentioning a name and somehovv attach herself (?). Thank Heaven, Dior does not respond. Viva La Dior (!).
I thought Peincess Margaret was so pretty in her younger day.
She was an excessive spender indeed.
It's not just what they wear - it's wearing the right thing in the right place. Meghan still hasn't worked that one out.
Hah, she still hasn't even figured out how to select the right undergarment .. nevermind the gown and occassion 😅
The worst red Carolina Herera dress for Veteran event .. red that represents blood for the Veterans ?
An art she still hasn't mastered yet😂pity Megys married a prince or is he?
And probably never will understand what real fashion is all about.
She never will.
@@user-wi6cz4hh5bshe married a toad.
I dont like that slip dress of Diana's. It looked too much like a fancy nightgown.
That was a fad and a rather stupid one.
@@JoaninFlorida As a Gen X, I remember when it was a fad, and every outfit had a slip this or that but I hated it. Actually, I hate it now, too.
That was the purpose of the look and it was fashionable at the time. Diana especially in her younger days was a slave to fashion.
@@freciemagdirila7075Gen X here too. 100% with you.
Yes, it did look somewhat tacky, and as though she had forgotten to put the real outfit on top. Years ago I made myself a plain evening/nightclub dress from a petticoat pattern. It was princess line with a little dart at the bust to bring the fabric into the front of the body. It had a round neckline which was faced and interfaced (not straps).

I also used the same pattern to make cotton dresses for holidays abroad., and I made some for a work colleague who was having her first holiday abroad I've still got the pattern.
Queen Camilla's midnight blue dress and cape is my favourite outfit I've ever seen her in! Stunning!!!
I agree. It made me react with a big “wow” and the way the breeze emphasised the cape effect was amazing.
💯 % agree. Not so hard to get it right. Listen to those in the know ! 🌟 🤩 ⭐️ 🌠 💫
For me it is a tie with the beautiful outfit she wore at her wedding. Both were lovely.
I ADORE Camilla’s blue Dior dress and cape (?) that she wore in France ❤
watch out Meghan,don’t let the Dior hit you on the way out!
You beat me to it!
😂
Genius! Lol
LOL that’s the only Dior she’ll get
ah you never disappoint Derek. I dub thee King of the (good) Dad Jokes!
Dior should send a cease and desist order to the narcissist telling her not to wear anymore of their clothes because on her they look like they came from Walmart!
It looks like she raided someone else’s closet and just threw it on without seeing if the clothes would fit.
Yes, somehow she makes everything look cheap. She does this so consistently it’s almost an art!
@GradKat
Well, she is cheap, so there's that.
I would sue!
The Biggest insult Dior is doing is refusing to make her an ambassador or calling her in order to dress her. Dior sees the meg playing dress up and their silence screams "we are not impressed"
I do not like Diana’s slip dress. I don’t like the appearance of my underthings showing.
It's crazy but the top of that slip dress reminds me of Me-Me's red hanging niples atrocity.
I loved that vintage one from Princess Caroline.
I think that this slip dress was not as successful on Princess Diana because the lace at the top of the bodice does look like her bra is showing as Beebs said.

I don’t like it either. It looks like a slip which should be under a dress.

Why does it look like the Meg always uses clothes that's a size too small and shoes that's a size too big? 🤔🤷🏼♀️
I think it’s maybe cos she wears ready made stock not custom? Or she doesn’t own a mirror….
Because she's usually in clothes which are a size too small and shoes which are a size too big.
Because she does!
The Megs and her bras do not get along. 😁
To quote Bob Marley “It’s a War”

Princess Margaret’s 21st birthday gown is gorgeous! Dior helping the royals effuse royalty. This is a great review, Beebs❤❤
Just for curiosity sake, I’d love to know the weight of the fabulous designs. They’re certainly beautiful.❤
I get a kick out of the embroidery being done with raffia.
When you showed Camilla in France I said wow, that’s a Queen, right there! Whoever dresses her they are doing a damn fine job. Mr King must’ve felt so proud of her.

Dior is promoting Meghan and Harry’s “worldwide privacy tour” fragrance called “Leave Me De Fuh Cologne!”😂
Very clever.😂

The blue outfit that QC wore in Paris was AMAZING.
Princess Margret was stunning when she was in her late teens and twenties
Every age has a beautiful stage...
The concrete/stone coat she wore for the Platinum jubilee. The bigger problem was that her hat was a thinner fabric than the outfit. Hats must be the same thickness/weight of the outfit.
That makes so much sense
You are so correct. The balance was off due to the weight of the hat. It was a summer weight hat with a autumn weight coat dress and gloves.
I never even noticed the hat because I was completely distracted by the lump on her right boob. Lots of people have said she was miked up at that event. If that lump wasn't a concealed microphone, it needs checking by a doctor.
@@decodolly1535 They were both mic'd up.

I know this is about Dior, but that blue vintage Chanel Catherine wore (and re-wore in the US for the basket ball game) is to die for.
Can a fashion house refuse to allow, not sell but absolutely refuse to allow, someone to wear their clothes? If they could Dior definitely need too!!!
Meghan needs to get rid of ALL her belts!
So true!!
She can't tie a belt.....her torso is too short. Apparently she thinks it is flattering....but it isn't

Poor MM doesn’t dress for her ‘natural’ (Sponge Bob) proportions and ostrich legs.
And funky undergarments showing through
Princess Maria Olympia of Greece…. So beautiful. The outfit reminds me of a very expensive Wedgewood tea cup - stunning and so on point.
Meghan needs the huge collar for her mic’s. I thought that Moroccan dress was Givenchy? It’s still horrible and enough to turn any Designer away.
Was the storm flap on that concrete white coat because of poor fitting or because of the microphone? Another great presentation, thanks.
No, no mic. Don’t let’s get started on conspiracy theories.
If there was a mic, it would have been more likely in the front, under that overly large collar.
There was an Australian broadcaster that has footage of something looking like a small frisby tucked into the front of her coat and she was fussing with the left collar point often as she was walking.

Thank you for another fun look book and expert analysis. ❤
I think Catherine sticks to British designers, maybe the Commonwealth too. Probably because she is mindful as she was heavily criticized her early years and Dior is both French but also expensive. I also think Dior has a chic elegance but Catherine is more down to Earth elegance. It’s likely she’ll look stunning in a Dior piece, as it’s working with two different beauties.
Oh my goodness Beebs, don’t say someone should wear this vintage piece today. Kim kardashian will buy it, wear it, & ruin it.😂😂😂
You make this reports so interesting. Thank you. 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Of course, Dior would want someone to wear their clothes who would make them look fabulous and Princess Catherine is definitely one of them not Yoko SohoCarparkle.
You notice how you know who deleted his comment after you came here yesterday now, he is stealing the comment you used just to get the top comment and is probably hoping for a pin too.🙄🤣
@@football-c5j Of course
@@football-c5jWho? Help a granny out!
Princess Margaret looked stunning in her full skirt dress. She was a real fashion easter. The full skirts were such a break from the straight skirts of the 40s which were a result of fabric rationing. In the UK Clothes rationing remained in place until March 1949 and it was not until the early 1950s that most people could walk into a shop and be confident they could purchase an outfit that they dreamt off.
M's navy boatneck Dior dress was too tight in the torso.
Why can't she buy the right size? The Morocco dress was 100000 pounds, you'd have thought she could have spent a couple of hundred quid on a good bra and slip.
Boatnecks over emphasize MM’s broad shoulders and short neck.
It totally appeared to be smashing her bust. Not flattering!
I absolutely love the blue dress Queen Camilla wore in Paris. Just gorgeous, and she looked gorgeous in it! ❤
Princess Margaret’s gown had a 21.65 inch waist! Now I know 18” was the strived for number at one point, but come on! 21 inches! It looked so tiny! My favorite dress was the delicate blue mini dress with ivory embroidery (or white?) and short sleeves. The beautiful cream wedding dress you featured on a Monaco Royal, I found it to make her hips look so narrow as to be boyish. Wide shoulders & extremely narrow hips. Gorgeous dress, horrible choice for her body. I quite agree on everything else you mentioned & think The House of Dior is an absolutely stunning collection of femininity! I personally love it! Thanks Beebs! So much love from Oregon ♥️ Jessica
Definitely add Princess Charlene of Monaco to the next bridal video, she is elegant. The embroidery on her wedding dress was beautiful but would love to hear what you think of the neckline as I thought it wasn’t the most flattering
I still believe she wore what would make her stick out like a sore thumb. 😮 Just like the christening picture & had instructions on colors! She would Google royal events, find a theme & then select a "look at me" outfit..imo😊
I LOVE THAT WHITE BALL GOWN!!! God; I wish I had the figure (not to mention the money) to wear it!!!
Queen Camilla has such an unassuming, effortless gait, and there lies her appeal and why she comes off looking totally royal! As far as Harry’s wife goes, I’ve seen her in only two outfits that may be deemed remotely ok on her. Otherwise she always looks like she got entangled in windblown sheets hanging in one’s backyard.
Regal in Red, Beebs! ❣️
Have you seen the movie Mrs Harris goes to paris? Georgous Clothes. Some clothes are just meant to be seeen.
Princess Catherine is loyal to designers in England as a future queen should be
Too many Jenny Pekhams 😂😂😂
Queen Sirikit is not from Europe but requested Bamain as her a court dresser. Are you saying Kate can't or shouldn't wear Dior, Balmain, or Channel?
@@user-wi6cz4hh5b All the royal household have their own protocol. According to British protocol, when in the UK, Princess Catherine tries to help UK designers as a representative of the country (as much as possible, it's not an absolute rule). She would wear designers from the country she visits on tour if she has to buy pieces for events (as per protocol too), unless it's a re-wear. Even for her wedding she wore a UK designer's dress. I do think it's a good thing, it gives visibility to the companies of the country and helps the economy as well as the workers, from the couture house to the shops.
@VanessaD. So what about Princess Diana and Camilla? Who were/are they representing?
@@end_of_the_world-v8gFrom what I remember Princess Diana wore plenty of British designers, it was only after her divorce she really ramped up the glamour with Channel, Versace etc. The present queen has been dressed for years by Bruce Oldfield and she epitomises British country style in tweeds, waxed cotton. When in Scotland wears the most fabulous tartan skirts and coats. She doesn't pretend to be a fashion icon, she dresses for the job and looks good. Her best look in my opinion is formal evening dress and the big set piece jewellery suites which come out on important occasions.
Does Meghan not look in a full length mirror when she dresses?
I'd guess she doesn't see the same thing everyone else does.
She only has face mirrow
The mirror Meg uses is like one in a fun house.
Certainly not with the lights on.
I would absolutely love to see a video about Charlene’s wedding dress. I think she had multiple looks.
So like the Dior information you are showing us. Love their fashions.
Meghan’s white outfit’s back panel must have been hiding her microphone
Yes, please feature Princess Carolina Dress.
💚💚💚 the Dior dress with the shamrock ☘ design Princess Charlene wore. Beebs, would ❤ if you'd do a video featuring LADY KITTY SPENCER'S amazing fashion looks.
Given Princess Margaret's gown had diagonal embroidery on the shirt, the asymmetric neckline brought balance to the look.
Princess Charlene of Monaco is a swimmer, so, yes, she has swimmer's shoulders. I'd love to have more on her wedding dress and her stunning tiara! I believe The Court Jeweler has some good background on it
Maybe the POW will wear Dior on a trip to France or at a State banquet/ event for France. She's generally very loyal to British brands but will wear designers from the country she's visiting. She's very good at diplomatic dressing.
As for the meg.... her superpower is taking a beautiful outfit and turning it into trash. I've never seen anyone wear such expensive clothes so badly.
Hi Beebs, you forgot to mention that Harry’s Dior suit at the King’s coronation was extremely creased and looked really bad especially from the back
I love the current Queen's midnight gown and cape for the State visit to France.
Princess Margaret’s ball gown is stunning. My other favorite was the sleek look on the Princess of Monaco’s first dress. That dress was gorgeous.
Truly stunning fashion house , its really sad that Catherine hasn’t worn Dior . However Princess Diana looked truly beautiful in Dior . its her that got me into wearing suits which i wear to this day ,i fell into classic designs and stuck with them .
I have never commented on your appearance, although I don't know why, but you look absolutely gorgeous!! You should really have on a ballgown, or just a gown! You are stunning, as always😅😅😅
You could have featured Beatrice Borromeo Casiraghi, Princess Caroline's exquisite daughter-in-law, as an example of a good Dior fit. After all, she is a brand ambassador for the house.
Ahhh...to own and wear a couture Dior dress would be a dream come true.
Princess Margaret's dress is still perfect. Just iconic! Not a fan of princess Diana's slip dress, I always thought it looked like a night gown....
I love a good silk slip dress. I didn’t like the one Diana wore. I didn’t care for that particular lace and how wide it was, it killed it for me, made it look more like sleep wear.
I like most everything Diana wore, but not the slip dress.
You cannot Buy Class.
I guarantee you that is why Dior won’t touch Megain.
Princess Margaret’s ball gown is absolutely gorgeous! I’d wear that today (if i could fit my fat arse into it 😂)
I never liked Diana’s slip dress. It looked like a nightie. I remember the mocking in the magazines when she wore it. It wasn’t entirely well received.
I have to give credit that Meg’s navy blue boat neck is one of her better outfits. I always thought she chose the navy to attach herself to the military around her, pseudo importance or credibility if you will.
Camilla’s nave cape dress is one of my faves. The contrast with her white hair is fabulous.
That cream maternity number would have to be one of the worst things she’s ever worn. It looks like she wrapped a sheet around herself in a 5 year olds version of an Arabian Sheik from an old movie.
Very interesting and fun as always, thank you! (Princess Charlene at 16:55, it's English ivy)
I think Catherine doesn't wear Dior simply because she knows her aesthetics and Dior doesn't interest her, and that's completely fine. Dior will continue to dress real royals instead of pick-mes like The Meg.
Love Dior in the Forties and fifties!
I loved the fullness of Princess Margaret's dress. I also did not like the asymmetrical shoulders. I liked Diana's pink suit. Princess Charlene looked lovely in the cream gown. Perfect for her.
The Meg's dark blue Dior...look at Harry. I think she was trying to match him like she did with the red dress at that military event. She wore the stupid nude shoes because it was spring, but I think the dress is that colour to try to match with him.
Edit: That white dress for the Jubilee always makes me think of Carmen Sandiego.
Edit #2 - I don't think Catherine has ever worn Dior. She tends to stick to British designers and more affordable brands. Even when they went to Paris, she wore Chanel.
Last Edit: I just wanted to add that I got very excited when I saw you'd posted again today. I loved your Duchess Dior video, though I really enjoy all of them. I literally planned my evening around getting to watch this. Thank you for all the work that you do.
LOL, Carmen SanDiego 😂!
Btw I never liked that white trench coat dress either mainly because of that ginormous collar.
The all white outfit at St. Paul's Cathedral. Look closely and you can see she was wired. You can see the wire behind her left ear snaking down from the messy bun and into her huge collar. The strange stand out storm flap at the back helped conceal the shape of the mic pack. That she was wired was known and she and Harry had a uniformed "minder" sitting behind the. Now Lt. Col Johnny Thompson. Eye candy plus plus! Harry also was wired. There is just one picture where you can see what looks like the button microphone just inside his left lapel. Odious, reprehensible pair.
Well done again.
I thought of Beebs recently when I went to the Victoria & Albert Museum's Diva exhibition! Some gorgeous designs through the ages with designer costumes worn by many famous people. She would have loved it!
Harry's wife wore an outfit to the platinum jubilee that looked like she channelled Wallis Simpson.
Camilla looked amazing in the dark blue gown.
Charlene's Armani (?) wedding gown was one of my favourites. Loved it!
