00:02 - Welcome to Style Solutions.

00:09 I'm Marina Lischt,

00:10 Associate Editor of nationalworld.com,

00:13 and I'm joined by Natalie Dixon,

00:15 entertainment reporter and fashion expert, I would say.

00:19 So welcome Natalie.

00:21 Today we're gonna be talking about,

00:23 well, I'm gonna give her her more formal name

00:26 because I'm gonna be discussing her more formal fashion,

00:29 Catherine, Princess of Wales,

00:32 or otherwise she's still known,

00:34 although she's been married for so many years,

00:36 as Kate Middleton.

00:37 So in today's show, we're gonna be discussing,

00:40 I personally think,

00:42 well, actually I don't wanna argue too much with Natalie

00:45 because I think she looks good in whatever she wears,

00:47 formal or informal,

00:49 but I think she looks particularly good

00:51 in more formal wear.

00:53 So that's what we're gonna be talking about today.

00:56 So should I go first, Natalie,

00:58 or did you wanna go first,

01:00 talking about her informal clothes?

01:02 - I will let you go first.

01:05 - Well, when it comes to Catherine, Princess of Wales,

01:09 as I said only one minute ago,

01:11 I think she looks fabulous whatever she wears.

01:14 So I'm not gonna, I'm pretty good at arguing,

01:18 and Natalie might disagree with me.

01:20 I'm not gonna have a huge argument with Natalie and say,

01:23 oh, she never looks good in her casual wear,

01:25 but I do think that she looks better

01:29 in her more formal wear.

01:31 And a recent example of this,

01:33 just how incredible she looked,

01:35 is she recently, along with the Prince of Wales,

01:40 welcomed the South Korean president,

01:43 and she wore a stunning red cape coat dress

01:47 by Catherine Walker.

01:49 And I thought she looked phenomenal.

01:51 And I, Natalie,

01:53 are you gonna argue that she didn't look phenomenal,

01:55 or are you just gonna talk in a bit about her casual wear?

01:59 - I am not gonna disagree with you.

02:00 I do think that she looked incredible.

02:02 I think when she got out of the car

02:05 and she showed a bit of leg,

02:06 it gave me the whole like Angelina Jolie leg gate vibes.

02:10 But yeah, I agree.

02:13 I think she does look incredible

02:14 when she is dressed formally,

02:15 but I think she looks better more casual.

02:19 Another of my all time favorite formal outfits

02:23 that the Princess of Wales has worn

02:26 has to be the stunning Jenny Packham gold,

02:30 all sparkly dress that she wore to the James Bond premiere.

02:34 She looked like a Hollywood star.

02:36 No, I would go one step further and say,

02:39 she looked far superior to any Hollywood star.

02:43 And I love Jenny Packham,

02:45 and I love the Princess of Wales in Jenny Packham.

02:48 It was just phenomenal.

02:51 And the last outfit, but by no means the least,

02:53 because I could spend hours talking

02:56 about the Princess of Wales in more formal outfits,

02:59 is the powder blue, stunning Ellie Saab outfit

03:03 that she wore to Buckingham Palace garden party.

03:06 And she's worn the outfit before,

03:08 so she is the queen of recycling

03:10 and had worn it to Royal Ascot before.

03:13 It was she accessorized with a beautiful hat

03:15 with a flower at the side,

03:17 and it was just, the color was exceptional.

03:20 She looked incredible.

03:23 And there is no doubt,

03:26 no doubt in my mind that she looks far better

03:30 in formal outfits than in informal outfits.

03:33 So I'm gonna close my ears.

03:35 No, no, no, I'm not gonna close my ears.

03:37 I'm gonna hear Natalie's argument

03:39 for that she looks better in informal outfits.

03:42 So go for it, Natalie.

03:46 So yeah, I agree that she does look phenomenal

03:50 no matter what she wears.

03:51 But I think the reason why I think I prefer her

03:55 in more casual down to earth sort of wear

03:59 is because of the fact that she does look more down to earth

04:01 and her outfits are more attainable.

04:03 So, you know, she's a mother of three now in her forties.

04:09 I think that people do look at her for fashion inspiration.

04:13 And I think with her formal outfits,

04:18 it kind of is a bit like, oh yeah, they're nice,

04:21 but that's it.

04:22 Whereas I think on a recent trip to Scotland

04:25 with Prince William,

04:27 she wore a beautiful Burberry quilted dark green jacket.

04:32 Okay, it's Burberry and you know,

04:35 it was over a thousand pounds.

04:38 However, I think the look and the style of it

04:41 with the check and the color is, you know,

04:43 you could buy that in any sort of high street store.

04:46 Another time she wore a classic French look

04:52 of the cream sweater with the blue navy stripe.

04:57 Again, you know, it was by a French brand, quite luxury,

05:03 but you can pretty much pick that up online

05:07 or any high street store.

05:09 But for me, the one outfit that made me think

05:13 she has got style was the fact that she wore

05:17 a gray sweater vest to a recent event by,

05:20 I think it's David Cameron's wife, Samantha Cameron,

05:25 her brand, Cephin.

05:27 So again, it's a luxury brand,

05:30 but if you can make a sweater vest look cool and casual,

05:35 then you have definitely got style.

05:37 And I think when it comes to formal wear,

05:40 I'm not a hundred percent sure if she has a stylist,

05:42 but I think stylists will be involved.

05:44 Whereas I think when she comes to her day casual wear,

05:48 she still looks glamorous and stylish,

05:51 but I think that's more her and her sort of like,

05:54 this is me, this is what I want to wear.

05:55 So that is my argument.

05:58 And I will be dressing like Kate Middleton

06:00 when I go walking in the countryside next week.

06:03 - And I can't wait to see that, Natalie.

06:06 So you'll have to send me a photograph of yourself

06:08 walking in the countryside,

06:09 looking like the princess of Wales.

06:11 Thanks for joining us today on Star Solutions.

06:14 I look forward to talking about somebody else next week.
