I like the idea of her outfit for National Day but it just seemed way over the top. Everyone else was in black and basically dressed demurely so I feel the color/pattern was not right for the occasion. It's nice she tried to wear something different but another color would have been nice, maybe gray or white to break up all the black, the tail of the coat was just awkward looking too. It didn't do anything for me. The hat is just bad, it's a very odd shape and doesn't look good on her.
The gala dress was not good, it mad her look way broader in the shoulders than she is and also in the tummy area. I say it's a big miss!
