I didn't think she could out-ugly that coat but she has. That dress is atrocious!
 
But she mostly wore fakes Jam.

I read a few books about Jackie.

Style trivia from them -
she had an enormous head, thus the pillboxes were deemed the most flattering for that big pumkin
one of her signature style things was her fake pearls, she often wore big beads and such
Most of the writers paint her as rather the social climber - but that was a vocation really back then.

Yes, you are absolutely correct kxk. I'm a Pearl Girl - my collection reflects both traditional and modern settings, including many single pearls charms on assorted colour leather wrist wraps - eg. Ole Lynggaard.

The pearls that Jackie is wearing in the photo above were actually purchased by her for $35. Just found the story online of how much they were sold for at auction :)

Lol! Thanks kxk and Daltrim.

Forget Jackie's pearls then - I'll buy them. I'll do many, many terrible things to get my hands on Daltrim's pearls!

Oh dear this frock looks badly home made??????
 
Pretty shoes, dress - hideous fabric, looks like...I don't know, some kind of insulation building material?

But what a fab clothehorse she is even pregnant, she almost pulls this crap dress off, and still looks pretty, colour is good at least.

(Kim K must hate her guts)
 
I agree [MENTION=899]kxk[/MENTION], gorgeous shoes, the color suits her and she wears it well but the fabric has no flow it's so stiff looking , it seems like a last minute sown frock that had no time for alterations, but Kate herself looks radiant.
 
Actually, having seen Topaz's shots, I think its just the seams that make it look dodgy and home-made. It's actually a very pretty dress, but something went wrong in the execution.
 
Brits all wear too much make-up, just about every last one of them. Why, is it the climate, protection from cold?
Or could it be we of warmer climes can't do that cake on thing as it will just melt off???
 
No, still don't like it. The dress looks like old fashioned 60's style textured crimplene fabric. It was ugly polyester stuff that was stiff and stuck out just like that dress. Some things (or their lookalikes) should never ever EVER come back in style.

I won't go into the cut of that dress or that it looks like it's trying to slice through her neck. I agree that it looks like it's badly homemade...by someone who doesn't know how to sew darts. For someone who would have the worlds designers at her feet, why she chose that I'll never know.

And I still hate the coat, I don't care who designed it or how much it costs. Its still ugly.
