Good lord u sound like a bunch of school marms scolding a girl for daring to not wear her skirts below the knee.
I don't like the black stockings, like someone else said it looks strange on a grown woman, it especially clashes with the shoes. I think if a woman wants to wear black stockings they should be sheer.
Really dislike the whole look, can't really abide black opaque tights on grown women. The skirt is too short also, imo.
Do love the jacket, it appears soft and cosy.
Her eyemakeup seems to have lightened up.

Re dark tights, they seem to be the rage in London the last 2 winters, and you see a very large number of office going women of all ages in them. Personally, I prefer sheer, but this seems to be on-trend here
Hang on, is it just me who sees a difference between stockings and tights?
The UK is freezing at the moment, beautiful sunshine though. Tights are a must!

Oh no, black tights again! If her legs are cold, she could wear lined wool pants, or a longer coat.
Agree about the belt
Love the coat and especially the belt, the colour and texture are a lovely addition to the coat.
I didn't come on this thread yesterday as I just assumed the usual fuddy duddies would be complaining about the length of Kate's skirt...
Wearing thick tights with skirts...
windsorgirl said:I think the problem with the black tights yesterday was the shoes with which she wore them (and yes, the length of the skirt). IMO court shoes (pumps, here in the US) look better with sheer hosiery; better to save the opaque tights for boots, even shooties....which is why I think she looks absolutely appropriate today with the longer coat, boots & tights.
I will throw in my two cents on her hair since I'm here: I think she needs to go back to her natural darker brown color; the highlights have gotten a little much for me. I can't say that it looks unhealthy, just a little too light especially in winter.

And if she runs around in her pants she may get arrested . Her trousers would be fine though .

Her hair is certainly not unhealthy; it shines and has a great look to it. Where and what do you see what is unhealthy?
As to her looking more mature, isn't she already criticized she looks older than her age? How much more mature you want her to look?
Also, I cannot help but asking: where do you see messed up hair? It basically sits straight with the curls at the bottom, nothing sticks out.
Cinderella5x Just compare to the CP Mary haircut or Mette-Marit's hair. I think you will find the difference.
( Kate's hair looks change under the influence of moisture, her hair are more curly - you can see this during a trip by canoe/boat on to the islands of Solomon, and when rain fell there).
I know that she just has this type of hair, but I think it should just change the hairstyle, tie her hair in a ponytail or bun.
It's my opinion and you can have a different opinion...
My wardrobe wouldn't pass muster either but then I don't have Catherine's budget and am assuming you do not either.This thread is so predictable. It is always the same one who don"t like what Catherine wears and the same ones who defend her. For me I keep wondering how you would look, if you had to be "on" all the time. My wardrobe wouldn"t pass muster and I'll bet yours would"t either.
