I don't like the bow either but I love the look. Also, look at those earrings! Gorgeous!

What a lovely look. Directly from a "my fair lady scene". Bravo your Highness. You nail at every point and you are at every inch already a queen.Elie Saab for Catherine today and a Philip Treacy hat;

Elegant and very Ascot appropriate.
Not one comment about the expensive foreign label to a major event. Oops
Despite the grey skies and rain, it was still a warm day here.Considering yesterdays awful weather at Ascot, Kate's outfit seemed too light and summery. The colour was great on her - but it just wasn't right for the day itself

I'm sure that most posters here are aware that Ellie Saab is from Lebanon and that many royal ladies have worn his fashions for major royal events ie: HGD Stephanie at her 2012 wedding.
However Catherine did not attend the 2018 Royal Ascot at all so she certainly wasn't wearing Givenchy. Not sure how that would be considered "rule breaking."
Her last appearance had been in 2017 and she wore a white lace Alexander McQueen dress-domestic label.
For her 2016 appearance she wore white lace Dolce and Gabbanna-foreign label.

Thanks for emphasizing my point while some how also missing it by a football field
The point being Kate could wear head to toe foreign designers and no one blinks. And others in her position get attacked for doing the same. Go back to last year and the three or so page discussion about Givenchy at such an important British event. But no such issue with Saab. It's not about the label, it's clearly the person wearing it.
If we are going to point out every time one royal dares wearing foreign seems only fair to do it for all.
Perfect outfit for the occasion, and I love the fact that she wears her sapphire engagement ring EVERYWHERE. She must be so proud of it.

No actually I didn't miss your point at all. I was well aware of whom you were referring to in your posts. I just chose to follow the forum rules and stay on topic by not bringing that member of the BRF into the discussion about Catherine's daytime outfits.Thanks for emphasizing my point while some how also missing it by a football field

I agree. Most of the time posters are not commenting because the royal ladies have found a balance between wearing domestic and foreign labels. If a royal lady chooses to wear mostly foreign labels, that is certainly her choice, but she shouldn't be surprised if there is some discussion about it.To me, it is not about "never say never", but it is all about balance. Largely wear British, with the odd international label ever so often.
