Though I do wonder about the distinct 'fifties' echo of her 'fun' panoply at the Lloyd George statue unveiling, I have to say that I found it rather amusing in a way! That shade of brown, probably described in days past as 'Chocolate' trimmed with faux leopard was striking though I admit that the hat was a bit 'individual' but very much in HRH's preferred 'quirky' style!
Even so, I like the fact that HRH really does seem to be finding her own distinct style and silhouette! No one else within the Family comes near her for individual distinctiveness of personal style, bar Mama in law needless to say! I know that HM's style and interests in her own clothes etc has improved immensely over the last decade, but to be honest, I actually look forward to seeing what HRH will wear next with much more interest....and I am not really taken with 'fashion' as a rule to be honest! But where Sofie and Anne are concerned I feel, Camilla is 'Ballrooms' ahead!
I like the way HRH seems to be able to wear things that strike one, whether it be in a positive or negative way, but in which 'she' appears nevertheless comfortable and natural.
I imagine her hair will always be an issue.....no doubt the hair spray bill at Clarence House is quite substantial, but what else can she do with it really? I mean she can't possible go down the in-law route! A radical new hairstyle might work, but I tend to think that it isn't that bad in it's present incarnation and adds a softness and 'labrador/retriever' type friendliness to her overall appearance! I know it may not be the most coiffured of styles, but at least it is quite natural and engaging!
