What is it with Communists and evening wear? I've never seen one in a tuxedo.......
I was looking on getty and what is sad is that she does have some nice clothes. I don't know why she chooses to wear the oldest and Imo the ugliest she has.btsnyder said:I don't believe the Princess Royal has purchased any new clothing for at least 15 years. I would peg that ensemble at around 1987..... :-D

I'll bet if her photo is shown to someone unfamiliar with her, he wouldn't be able to guess her age.Emily said:One nice thing about her (besides that she is a very, if dour, hard worker) is that she has kept her figure beautifully over the years.
wymanda said:Yes but Diana did everything perfectly, didn't she!
Given the times & the opinions of the Labour gov't in Britain there is no room for the extensive & expensive wardrobes like Diana's. It is more in touch with the public to recycle outfits. The Queen, Camilla, Anne & Alexandra all wear outfits several times. If they like the outfit then why shouldn't they continue wearing it?

Just because he is visiting a Western country, doesn't mean he has to adopt every form of Western dress. His suit appears to be well cut and fits nicely. His tie matches the colour of his wife's dress.

The fact he is in a suit and tie should be obvious your last observation is off the mark. I have seen pictures of Prince Charles in a suite and tie recently while some of the men were in tuxedo and the ladies in evening gown. It just seemed some of the criticism was based on disagreement over his politics rather than based his fashion statement.susan alicia said:in the business world western employees are learning all they can about chinese and japanese etiquette (admittingly because they are big potential clients) but it seems a one way traffic.
