That dress is divine, and it is perfect on Kate.

Tsk,Tsk,Tsk. You all realize, of course, that you are all grating on the British sensibilities.

She is not Kate Middleton…..

She’s Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge

I for one hate the earrings. They belong on a chandelier not a woman’s ears. I just don’t like large “ear tags on a cow” bangles, even emeralds.

A very elegant dress, very late 1950’s/early 1960’s. My 1967 Mustang Fastback was that color, Ford calls it Nightmist Blue.

Another point about the young duchess: She knows how to carry herself when wearing a dress, whether long or short.

So many young women (nearly all the actresses, e.g.) have no idea how to gracefully carry off a lady’s ensemble — they always look like they’re walkin’ over plowed ground. . . .

All this talk about how nicely Pelosi dresses (and she does) reminded me that Robin Givhan wrote a gushing piece in the Wash. Post about Pelosi's style when she became speaker in 2006. Givhan was especially impressed that Pelosi chose not to wear any sort of patriotic pin:

Nowhere on her person did there appear to be a flag, an eagle or any other booming statement of patriotism that can so quickly transform a workday ensemble into a Fourth of July costume. Holding a news conference in front of flags was plenty; she did not feel compelled to drape herself in one.

Anyone here know if Pelosi took to wearing such a pin once Obama became president?

There are two colors in the dress — dark blue and teal. Beautiful.

I think the reason she decided not to wear a necklace is because of those beautiful, long earrings. One statement piece is enough.

And Sgt. Mom, I agree that Nancy Pelosi always dresses beautifully. Of course she can afford it! Too bad her annoying stare and revolting politics don’t match.

Meow!

I also do appreciate her taste in dress – classic, beautifully understated, suitable for the event, perfectly fitting and flattering – and sometimes even just off the rack. And she has perfected the fine art of almost always looking cheerful, or at least appreciative of the occasion in her facial expressions … unlike our own homegrown royalty. *cough* Michelle Obama *cough*

About the only good thing that I have to say about Nancy Pelosi is that she is always beautifully, classically elegant in her own choice of outfit and accessories. She may not know much – but she does know how to pull together an outfit suitable for her age, station and occasion.

Just lovely — and I actually like the pure elegance of the dress with no necklace, at least on that young woman and with those gorgeous earrings. It might not work on anyone else, but with a face and collarbones like Kate Middleton’s, less is more.
