Personally, I think she's never looked better than she does right now.

Funny how different opinions can be. I think she looks beautiful, healthy and natural. I like her classy style too. It may be too reserved for some people but there is something nice about someone who isn't always trying to look trendy or sexy. I've also never seen or heard any evidence that she uses Botox, but if she did, she doesn't need to. I think natural aging is lovely.

I absolutely agree. Kate is herself and that's a wonderful thing.

I truly think she's looked absolutely amazing during this third pregnancy, so cute and happy. I'd love for her to be a little more adventurous with her shoe choices, but I can imagine wanting to be comfortable when pregnant. Hopefully she will go back to experimenting a little bit in the future, I loved those strappy Gucci heels she wore a few times last year.

Also, that mint green coat is gorgeous

^ I find that look Queeny, but I do like the hunter green.

So sweet, congratulations! The dress is a sweet nod to Diana, too. However, I hope Kate is at home in sweats now since she had to get dolled up right after having a child

Congrats to them on the new Prince! Like the Packham dress.

since she had to get dolled up right after having a child

IKR, I got an alert that this kid was born and when I opened it like 3 hours later, she was already out and facing the media, I thought it was perhaps an old picture from the previous children.. crazy. Too bad you can't expect a memoir years down the road about how did she REALLY feel that day, because I'm actually curious..

^ She looks totally up for it ... she's a trouper, no doubt about it. I like the new couple, but the difference is you practically never get a whiff of self-indulgence from these two.

That's what I like about Will and Kate too, they seem very aware of what their "job" is and get on with it professionally and practically. They might be boring to some people, but I find them to be very classy and great representatives of the Royal family. I think they'll be a great King and Queen.

I think she can do better.
It seems she didn’t even try. I know she gave birth recently, but...

 

[SallyAlbright]

She can definitely do better, but I think it's nice that she didn't. She was understated and elegant, but didn't demand any attention and matched the children. The dress looked prettier in proper lighting, outside it looked white/cream but on TV it was a very pretty pale yellow.

 

[sixtdaily]

And she already wore that McQueen two or three times before...

I agree. It's not her moment to stand out. She looked understated and lovely, the pale yellow was a nice choice and coordinated with all the women in the family wearing yellow & green shades.

 

[Zorka]

I agree. It's not her moment to stand out.

HeatherAnne, a GREAT comment, as usual!

Btw, among among a dozen articles and columns on the event I read about for the past few days, I really liked this one by Daily Mail:

Don't upstage the bride! The recycling trick thrifty Kate uses to avoid stealing the limelight at weddings - and how she used it on Meghan's big day

The Duchess of Cambridge seemed to be showing her thrifty side yesterday by wearing a McQueen coat she previously wore on three high profile occasions.

However, it seems that the Duchess makes a point of re-wearing her old outfits to weddings for a very important reason - so as not to upstage the bride.

Mother-of-three Kate, 36, has the ability to grab headlines with her outfits, and the clothes she wears can easily spark a shopping frenzy and sell out in hours.

So it seems that the royal is careful not to draw too much attention to herself by turning up in an ensemble that fans have already seen at least once before.

The savvy royal used the same trick when she attended the wedding of Zara Phillips to rugby player Mike Tindall in July 2011 three months after she married Prince William.

Newlywed Kate was still very much the centre of attention following her own nuptials, but she deflected the limelight by wearing a Day Birger et Mikkelsen coat she had sported for Laura Parker Bowles' wedding five years earlier.

During her pregnancy with Prince George the Duchess attended the wedding of William van Cutsem and Rosie Ruck Keene, again knowing that all eyes would be on her bump in anticipation of the birth of her first child.

She chose a very low key outfit in the form of a £38 polka dot dress from Topshop she had worn a month earlier to visit the opening of the Warner Bros Studios in Hertfordshire.

Yesterday, Kate wore a primrose yellow silk tailored coat by Alexander McQueen - the label behind her own wedding gown - that she's previously worn on no less than three high profile occasions.

She was first seen in the designer piece for the christening of Princess Charlotte back in July 2015, and then wore it again a year later for the Trooping of the Colour in June 2016.



At the Order of the Garter ceremony in 2011, the Duchess wore a pale grey coat by Katherine Hooker, which she got out of the wardrobe a year later in June 2012 for the wedding of William's cousin Emily McCorquodale to James Hutt



Kate's outfit choice may seem familiar to some royal watchers as she has worn the Alexander McQueen no less than three times before. Pictured, left to right: At Charlotte's christening in July 205, at Trooping of the colour in June 2016 and during her visit to belgium in July 2017



The Duchess of Cambridge yesterday showed off a new accessory in the form of a dazzling citrine ring on her right hand

She was seen most recently wearing it at the Passchendaele commemoration service during a visit to Belgium back in July last year.

And Kate, who gave birth to her third child, Prince Louis, less than a month ago, wore her investment piece once again today at the wedding of the year, teaming it with an oversized Philip Treacy hat and Jimmy Choo heels.

However the Duchess was wearing something new in the form of a dazzling citrine ring on her right hand.
