HRH Catherine Princess of Wales is such a beautiful lady who is conscious about practicality as she has been spotted wearing her garments more than once for different occasions mixing and matching designer and high street brands like Zara and M&S with such elegance and grace. It goes to show that stylish outfits can be created following the principles of French Chic and sensible guidelines for turning fast fashion into slow timeless classic style as mentioned frequently in your videos. That's why I love your channel because of your wisdom and expertise. Merci 🤍⚘

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

Merci for bringing that out AW - it could be thought that she looks good only because she has a higher budget than us yet she still looks fantastic in what we could all buy on the high street 🙏 I should have brought this up in the video so thank you for highlighting it 😘

[@jhanes3791]

I like this episode. If Princess Diana were alive, she and I would be the same age. Back in the day, I used to emulate her style for my office wardrobe. Princess Catherine's day style is perfect for a professional wardrobe and her casual is suited for a more relaxed office setting.

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

I had my fair share of Princess Diana outfits too JHanes 😃

[@MegInASheathDress]

Diana was limited by the horrid styles of the 80s and early 90s though. But i think she was nearly 6 feet tall so she could carry off even the worst of that era.

[@marilyncoburn4936]

Camilla, she has the figure that most of us have over 60. Catherine can wear anything with her figure but you are pointing out the basics of style. Thank you. It’s always wonderful to see how beautiful she is, inside and outside.

Speak for yourself, not "most of us." I'm 63, 5'9", and weigh 150 lbs., the same weight I was when I graduated high school. I make it my business to stay fit and trim through diet and exercise. Queen Camilla is beautiful in her own way, and certainly can be a role model for those with that same body type. As for me, I'm going for the Princess of Wales look of timeless elegance, which transcends age.👍

Recently, I purchased a poppy red color linen dress. At first, I was not sure if it would suit me since I have never worn such a bright color in my life. However, whenever I wear it, I get so many compliments. I have the olive color skin and maybe the poppy red color is suitable for the complexion? Anyway, now I have more confidence in wearing this bright color dress. Thank you, Marie- Ann, for sharing the video!

She certainly is slender, but some clothes need "curves" or else it won't look right. And she doesn't have those. I'd say she knows what works and what doesn't work for her body type and station in life- and hit the jackpot with Catherine Walker and Alexander McQueen, it seems. 😉

[@ednawilliams3608]

Thank you, Marie Anne, love the Princess of Wales and pray for a complete recovery for her. I always felt that good fitting clothes were essential no matter the price, but now I've fallen in love with her monchomatic outfits. Something I can do also.

Bonjour, Marie-Anne. Love the fact that you always emphasise that principles and guidelines of French Chic are always applicable for ALL women of different bodyshapes, sizes, ages and social status. By doing a quick research I've found out that Princess Catherine wears a wide array of affordable High Street fashion brands besides designer and her top favourites are: Zara. Reiss. Hobbs. Boden. Jigsaw. & Other Stories. Topshop. Mango. Accessorize. Monsoon. M&S. Asos. H&M. John Lewis. Gap. Barbour. Whistles. Massimo Dutti. It shows that we don't have to be royalty/wealthy, young, tall and slim spending a huge fortune to be chic and elegant since stylish outfits are guaranteed when following your advice. Merci for PDF included 🙏🏻⚘

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

The principles of style must apply to everyone or they apply to no-one AW 🙏 It always makes me sad when I see comments that say the commentator can't be stylish because they aren't as young or slim as any model shown. One just needs the information to adjust what one sees for your ownself and you can improve your style and outlook - and that is what I try to do 😃 Thank you for the additional research 😘

[@a.williams10]

@@MarieAnneLecoeur I feel you and it's frustrating. I think it's time to debunk on-going misconceptions about beauty and style constantly perpetuated by the big fashion industry and mass media which seem to cause more harm than any good, we must empower ourselves to change that.

Kate Middleton has impeccable taste with a definite British flair. Although, personally I prefer Meghan Markle's style because it's more reminiscent of the French style. It's less sugary feminine than KM's and it looks more empowering... I love the clean lines, monochrome, tailoring, architectural details and her not being afraid to wear black.

[@HananAwaad]

Sophie is also an amazing woman and stylish

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

She is indeed 🙏

[@Dingle1234]

I see how she wears 2-pce knit suits. I've always loved sweater dresses but they seem to mostly suit a perfect physique because of the way the cling. With the ribbed hem of the top and the slight blousing above it, I see her suits are far more flattering. It also looks like when she finds the perfect coat or pants, she orders multiples in several colours.

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

I think that is true Dingle I have seen her wear the exact same dress in 4 different colours!

[@kimberlyperrotis8962]

I love that the Princess mixes in less expensive, high-street, items with her mostly designer wardrobe. I was glad to see her wearing “my outfit”, the Sezane ecru Naelle skirt and matching sweater (I forget the name of this piece). I already had this one, and the same set in brown, love them. I’m a big fan of Sezane style and it’s affordable, too. The Princess also does what I value in my wardrobe: using restraint, or as our dear MA says, simplicity, an essential ingredient of elegance, along with high quality and perfect fit. Finally, a more elegant style is valued again, after nearly 25 years of “More is More”, piling on the logos, etc. I want her beautiful Alexander McQueen white trouser suit! I’ve been looking for a true white, not ivory or ecru, suit in top-quality, natural-fiber fabric for years! It’s probably over my, quite large actually, wardrobe budget.

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

I want that white AM suit as well Kimberly 😃 so glad you picked up that she is very often seen in high street brands as well as top flight brands 😘

She is very thin and has a well defined waist, yet very narrow hips. I find it noteworthy that lately she has been wearing quite exaggerated shoulder lines, rather than rounding out the hipline. She always looks exceptionally good, though. Personally, I think a bit part of this is her incredibly warm and caring essence, which permeates everything she does. What a winner. Thank you for this thoughtful video, dear Marie-Anne.

I am glad you enjoyed it Mary and can see past her silhouette to the lessons her style can offer all ladies 🙌

Since 2016 who would you say has been her greatest style inspiration. Her "style" has noticeably, and suddenly gone from coat dresses and prim frocks (absolutely NO pant suits) to something quite a bit outside of her wheelhouse and making it difficult to see the thread of progression. Prior to this off course she looked to HMTQ, P Diana, but also CP now Q Mary, Q Letizia amongst others. A penny (?) for your thoughts.

I believe the trouser suits became more prominent after the death of Queen Elizabeth !!, who was a stickler for old-school protocol. I am certain that Catherine did not wish to cause offence.

An interesting question Star she has surrounded herself with a good team and I am sure they are feeling their way into a look that is her own, reflects her position both current and future and manages to tread that fine line 😃

Of course, the public never sees what K wears around the house doing chores and taking care of her family. :)

[@thekingsdaughter4233]

She probably doesn't get to do her own housekeeping anymore (pre-wedding and in the early years, it is said she preferred it that way). But she has a good sporty casual style, too; with sweater, jeans, knee-high boots, puffer vest or such. For walks with the dogs around Balmoral; or when she's out to see the Boy Scouts or something like that. 😊

Does anyone know the ID of the blouse Marie-Anne is wearing in this video? I love it! Thank you for the tips on getting Catherine's style as well, she is flawless!

Princess Catherine Of Wales Is Amazing And Fabules Women !!!!! Support From Balkan !!!!!❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉!!!!!!

THANKS!!!!!!!

It probably helps to be tall and have a sporty figure. She doesn’t have a hourglass figure she has a slight inverted triangle figure. She obviously listened to the powers that be regarding how to dress for her body type.

Please post another video about our gorgeous classy previous First Lady Melania Trump . She is going to be our future First Lady ( soon ) .

MarieAnne its casual wear that I really struggle with the most. For workwear or more dressy going-out clothes I find it easier to look more chic, but casual clothes - I dont know what happens, I just turn into a complete frump and I just cant pull it off 😢

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

Watch here Janine kzbin.info/www/bejne/l6K3p2Cbec-Jjq8 I hope it gives you some ideas x

[@jenniferbuckland2354]

I've loved your style tips for a long time. This video brought me such joy. Catherine surely is chic and stylish. I'd love to see you do a similar video on princess Sophie,the duchess of Edinburgh. My other style favourite is now Queen Mary of Denmark. As an Australian woman I feel so proud that she has such style. Keep doing your beautiful clips Marie Anne. ❤

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

I am glad you enjoyed it Jennifer 🤗 I will keep producing if you keep watching 😘

[@aulNewZealand8612]

hello Marie-Anne Thank you for your videos. I think you must be wearing a lilysilk blouse. Beautiful. I have bought no less than 3 blouses and find they are absolutely too short. I sadly gave them away. I find lilysilk is best for short people. Maybe you could mention this when you talk about their beautiful blouses... kindest wishes to you

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

It is indeed by LilySilk 😃 it is an old one not available now but I will try to remember to mention them x

[@ms_prescott_regrets]

I loved The Princess of Wales style from the beginning. Thanks so much for breaking her style down. She is definately one worth looking at for inspirations. 💗

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

😘

I like the blouse you are wearing. Would love to know where you got it from.

Can you do queen Maxima of the Netherlands?

[@maryokeefe5351]

I have met her in person and she has a model's height and figure. Strangely, the camera seems to make her look heavier, but she is in fact pencil-slim.

[@MarieAnneLecoeur]

I will see what I can do 😃

[@thekingsdaughter4233]

​@@maryokeefe5351huh! Strange how that can work. On the opposite, the general thoughts on Queen Letitia are usually that the is so skinny and tiny. Those who met her claim that she is slim but not as skinny as she looks on camera. And anyone would look tiny when standing next to King Felipe! 😄
