Not everyone can wear high heels, and they are not practical. Queen Letizia has foot problems, she is a trooper for wearing nice shoes even if they are not heels. I got rid of any heel over 2 inches in my own closet, heels are not a must have.
Estimada los tacones 👠 altos son y serán lo que al final levanta o Nooo un outfits .. El zapato plano 🥿 sólo aporta COMODIDAD PERO NO ELEGANCIA.. Catherine .. Es una mujer elegante por su buen gusto , su altura , y su exquisita educación .. Atributos que Lety no tiene sobre todo la educación.
Please give Queen Letizia a break on her shoes since she is having legit foot issues. I can’t wear heels at all anymore. I wear all flats these days. Just is what it is. I am sure if her feet felt better, she would wear the pretty shoes still.
@@hotoneinspai Don’t get me wrong. I like Brittany. Just not sure why she is giving her such a hard time when it is well documented she has serious foot issues. As a Queen, might as well do what one can to maximize efforts and functionality.
So. I love your channel and agree with 99.9999% of your comments. But…. Please, please, please cut Letiz some slack. She is verrrry petite and her husband is gigantic. She spent years (maybe her whole life) wearing crazy, ultra, spiky high heels. She has ruined her feet? Arches? Achilles tendons? I think at this point you just need to acknowledge for her health, her footwear may never again be stylish/current/flattering/chic. Again, I think your comments are always spot on, but it’s almost to the point of criticizing a blind person for wielding a cane… “that outfit would look much more stylish without that red/white pole she’s constantly carrying…
I’m glad to see Queen Letizia taking care of her foot injury by wearing low heels. I watch her footwear now to get ideas. Did anyone catch that First Lady Melania Trump’s high heels on inauguration day were hurting her and she was a model and knows how to wear them! High heels are killers. 🤷♀️
I agree with most of your picks today except Queen Leticia's last look with the blue skirt and white shirt. I love the skirt but viscerally disliked the blouse. I thought it was extremely dowdy and boring. I would also like to say that I am very happy to see her wearing moderate height heels, not everyone can wear towering stilettos. Podiatrists around the world would likely applaud as well.
As a fellow ‘burgundy lover’, I am obsessed with the outfit of the Princess of Wales! The burgundy and brown are stunning! Her coat is a bespoke piece which can only be purchased as a short blazer for the rest of us! 😉 Please keep up the good work! I am in love with this topic! ❤👗❤
I read somewhere that Princess Catherine showed several of her pictures to her daughter and asked her which one she liked best. Charlotte chose the one that was published and when she was asked why, Charlotte's response was, "Because it looks like Mommy." Precious!
Brittany as a woman who adores shoes, I have developed an issue with my left foot. There is nothing they can do to correct my issue so now I must wear shoes that cause me the least pain. I am not a fan of Queen Letizia, but I sympathize with her change in footwear.
I have been wearing flats for years - I used to have weak ankles and now I have problems with my toes!😂😂 As a result I can even wear ballet flats. But there are some lovely flats out there - yes?
@@triciatinker9456 I don't wear heels anymore. They are just too uncomfortable. My mother who was in her 20’s in the 1950’s kept wearing 4 inch heels until then day she died at age 83. Her feet looked like Barbie’s feet. They grew into the shape of a high heel. I don't think she was able to wear flats after wearing heels for 50 years. In my Mom’s defense, she was barely 5 feet and she didn't like being short. People called her Teensy as long as she didn't hear them. That nickname made her madder than h*ll. Lol. She was a character.
@@susancole6793 Attractive is in the eye of the beholder. I get a lot of compliments on my comfortable shoes. I think designers have recognized that women want both comfort and style.
Agree. This button-down shirt is far too much business look (paired with a pant suit it might be fantastic!), but not for a New Year's Reception at the palace with "court dress" as stipulation. This skirt would have required a fine silk blouse with a totally different collar/neckline, or anything along that line.
Maxima does have fine hair she is well known for having worn extensions for years...Result...even finer hair so Now for Up Does... Her hairdresser uses Hair Pieces
I normally loveSophie’s style, but I have to agree with you about that hat. It looks like something my grandmothers used to wear (and I’m now in my 60s). Fun fact…all three of our grandmothers who were at our 1983 wedding wore something similar to Sophie’s hat. Actually , they all wore the same hat , fortunately in different colours!
I’m a retired psychologist. I spent 20 years as an eating disorder specialist. Our society criticizes women, their styling choices, and their body shape. It makes us hypercritical of others, and of ourselves, so it is one of the causes of emotional problems, and has contributed to the rise in eating disorders. Most of my work was with preteens who purged (or over exercised) and/or restricted calories. When the body has no fat to burn, it eats muscle - often the heart muscle is attacked. Over the years, I worked with many young girls that had forever harmed their physical health. I don’t think it’s appropriate to criticize the style choices of our female royal role models (or public figures). They are always on display on the public stage, and spend their time doing a great deal of good. Their clothing choices need to have variety, and they often highlight their country’s fashion industry. They incorporate styles , and jewelry that have special meaning for the occasion - and you fail to comment on that. It’s almost impossible for the royals to always look their very best, every day, and on every occasion. The USA doesn’t have a monarchy, and you don’t seem to understand the amount of good, these women do, or the importance of their role. It would be far healthier to highlight their good deeds, than their fashion choices, that you dislike. None of the royals you criticized wore inappropriate clothing. I appreciate their modesty and selfless service. I’d much rather hear positive content, than criticisms, that attack how these women look.
Nobody here is criticising the royals’ work, just their fashion choices. I doubt a queen cares what people are saying on UA-cam, but for those of us who don’t have the money or the occasions to wear clothes like this it’s just harmless fun.
Sometimes I think they forget that long hair is only for the young. For older ladies it must be perfectly styled or up. Also, and yes I know I’m old, but ladies look,so much more elegant in dresses not pants. Just my opinion folks. 🙏🙏👵🇦🇺
I agree the long hair on older ladies can be unbecoming but a shoulder length styled correctly is acceptable. Some ladies like that little bit of length to fee more feminine.
I don't believe in having to wear certain colours just because it is a certain season. If i want to wear spring colours in the middle of winter, I will!
I’m getting a little too old for these, Brittany. I have to watch them twice because I can’t remember the fashions at the beginning to comment on them by the time I finish watching. Love all the red/burgundy dresses, including Q. Letizia’s. In fact, I think all of her looks are great. Love Sophie; hate the hat; CP Mette-Marit’s coat looks a little stiff for me. I always love Q. Mary. I agree with all your other comments. Love this channel.
I agree with you Brittany about Duchess Sophie’s blue hat. It looks like one of those donut cushions that you have to sit on when you have hemorrhoids.
Q Letizia’s metal headband worn to see her daughter off to sea was worn for sentimental reasons. It’s connected to Leonore’s sister, Sophia, so Leti wore it to include Sophia at that special moment. 🥰. I’m not a fan of the turtleneck or gloves worn with QMary’s beautiful cream and gold gown either but the gloves were part of the dress code and I suspect that the reception hall was freezing cold. I think wearing a collarless thermal top under the gown would have been a better solution.
I like Queen Letizia’s evening skirts but the button-down shirts don’t work with them. The shirts have volume and so do the skirts which is too much. She’s super slim and fit and can wear anything but, for proportion, a full-fitting garment should be worn with something more fitted. Also, a plain white blouse (even if it’s made from luxurious fabric) paired with a plain long skirt looks unfinished and less dressy.
I think Queen Letitia’s skirt and blouse are HIDEOUS!! Neither formal nor casual - weird, weird, weird. This is a great video, though - I like coverage of best and worst royal fashions. Totally agree with you about Sophie’s hat!
The King was in tails and she was wearing a casual button down. Perhaps a brooch would've helped. The fabric of the shirt didn't match the flow of the skirt. A feminine blouse would've been better.
Queen Letizia's red dress problems included: Fit is too loose, the length because it makes the boots look wrong and the shape of the neck wasn't a good look for her. I think the one of her from last year had a better neckline. I like her too, but somehow it just didn't work well together. I wasn't fond of the snowflake dress as well. Many of the ones on the list I agreed with, but didn't think the "best dress" one should be Queen Letizia. It was OK, but was much too casual, and think Catherine's was much better.
I thought the looser, belted, red dress was more flattering than the snugger pinkish one. When a dress is already snug, a belt seems out of place. The red dress looked more comfortable and appropriate for the season.
HM Queen Letizia's blue skirt is a pretty color, somewhere between periwinkle and cobalt blue. It's a simple but elegant look. HRH The Princess of Wales' outfit that she wore to the Royal Marsden Hospital is another favorite. The colors are flattering on her. She seems to do well with earth tones. Not everybody can wear them and pull it off.
I hate the ‘white shirt and coloured skirt’ ensembles. Awful! If the shirts were same colour and material as the skirts then they would be so much better IMO.
The reason that woman in the Luxembourg RF, Maria Theresa is wearing sleeveless dresses with a wrap is that she's HOT. Yeah the pattern is distracting but the wrap is due to her ability to put on and remove during the event. When you get older you will get it.
I always enjoyed watching your videos where you purchased the clothes the royals wore, their make up, etc. Hope you will do a few more in 2025. I bought Charlotte Tillsbury and Tom Ford lipstick based on your videos! More…more!
Queen Mary is the one I think absolutely champions the shirt and skirt category. Queen Latizia does look lovely too. Queen Mary’s gorgeous dress was ruined by the turtleneck. Such a shame because it’s a gorgeous gown.
Queen Mathilde looks like she's wearing something that hints towards a robe to me. Mette Merit could argue it was Viking adjacent and get away with it for repping Norway. It does have a sort of cosplay ethnic quality to the print. Maxima is Maxima, she's just entertaining, I kind of like her disasters because her personality is so big and her messes are human and relatable. I like burgundy on Felipe, it's just the tie, but it's a good colour, and that suit style works for him.
I slightly disagree with you on Queen Letizia’s purple skirt outfit. I like the look overall but I think the shirt should’ve been more fitted, especially in the sleeves. The fit seemed off…..
Brittany l love Sophie Duchess of Edinburgh but have to agree with you about the hat. It looks like something that our late Queen might have worn in the 1960’s. As someone who went from teetering in 4 inch heels to embracing flats after the age of 65, l have every sympathy with Queen Letitia. I do like a low wedge heel because it elevates while giving a feel of sure footing.
Hi Brittany, I love your channel! You do such a great job with the European royals, and although our new American First Lady is not a "Royal" per se, it would be fun to follow your commentary during her fashion journey in the next four years. I'm sure I'm not your only fan who would love to see you take her on!
Thank you so much!! I'm definitely thinking of including her in these lists as she's honestly so incredibly stylish and I've always loved her fashion! In fact, I just uploaded a best and worst of the Inauguration fashion!! Check it out!!
I recently wore a purple dress with green jewelry and I like that color combination. With regards to Queen Mary's turtleneck, it definitely does not come with the dress. She should have worn an undershirt that didn't show.
I think green and purple can work, but I think a muted person would have been better. And yes, I believe Queen Mary was required to wear a turtleneck, which didn’t work but I still liked the dress overall! Thanks for watching!!
@@RoyalFashionNewsit looks like Queen Mary must have worried about freezing with out a turtleneck and gloves! I remember visiting the royal palaces in the summer when it was quite warm, and they were still freezing inside! I wonder if it was a full turtleneck dress underneath.
@@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586 I'm guessing that Miss Brittany meant "purple" that may have autocorrected to "person" I could be wrong but I'm going by context clues...
The red dress with the wide black belt in the beginning doesn’t look like it’s a good fit to her body at all. I’m sure it was very expensive, but they could have done a better job fitting it to her.
I could not care less how they dress. Because there is fashion and there is different taste, in french we say, you dont discuss tastes and colours. We are see differently so your opinion mean nothing at all. But l do love you❤❤❤ bit l dont agree with you , at all. I dress how l like and how l feel confortable.
In Maxima's defense, the earrings she wore with the purple outfit had green stones AND purple stones. However, she has a fabulous pair of amethyst earrings and a matching ring that would have looked better with the outfit, IMO. Sorry, Brittany, but I HATE Letizia's white button-down shirt with the lovely blue skirt. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. For me, this time it didn't. Also, I think it was far too casual for the event. I do agree with you on that terrible hat Sophie wore on Christmas day. She looked like she was wearing a doughnut cushion on her head. She deserves better. Yes, Mathilde's weird top and trousers were Natan Couture. Re: Mary's outfit -- the turtleneck is not part of the GORGEOUS Rickie Freeman gown, and it was a big "NO!" for me. So were the gloves, which were the wrong length. The gloves and the turtleneck ruined her entire look.
15:02 her skirt has good flow. Her shirt is too stiff for that particular skirt. It would look better in a soft fabric not horrible, but not best of the week either.
I really enjoy your videos but as a health care provider being critical about a royal prioritizing their foot and back health by wearing more practical shoes makes me sad. No woman should be wearing ultra high heels regularly they are so bad for your back and feet!
Best & Worse Best Queen Maxima of Netherlands 🇳🇱-the coat is beautiful Queen Letiza of Spain 🇪🇸-lovely blue suit & headband Catherine, Princess of Wales 🏴-Love the complete outfit the tartan coat matching separates (Gabriella Hearst top and Edina Lee skirt) Queen Maxima of Netherlands 🇳🇱-Love this red outfit!

Worse Queen Letiza of Spain 🇪🇸-the dress fitted loosely with the belt is messy Queen Mathilde of Belgium 🇧🇪-The top turns me off especially with the plaid. Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway 🇳🇴-the coat turns me off Grand Duchess of Maria Theresa of Luxembourg 🇱🇺-floral dress and if you are conscious of your shoulders cover them. Queen Maxima of Netherlands 🇳🇱-Mismatched pieces and do not flow. Mix Duchess of Stephanie of Luxembourg 🇱🇺-has potential Queen May of Denmark 🇩🇰-styling is off Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh-The complete outfit is beautiful, but the hat is horrible. Queen Letiza of Spain 🇪🇸-The outfit would be out of the park if the skirt ended on her shins. This skirt is too long on her.

Very enjoyable video. My one suggestion is for you to learn to pronounce Queen Letizia's name. Don't make the sound of a "t" as in pizza before the letter z, remember it is Spanish not Italian.
Before i watch this...I want to say to you what I was told ...IF you have Nothing Nice to say about someone...Don't Speak... I dread, yet feel compelled to hear what your About to Say...So, stand by your beds guys. OK so you didn't make a New Years resolution to be Kinder that's for Sure,,, Ouch!!! I do tend to agree with a number of your Picks... BUT Sophie's Hat... OK you don't like the Hat...we get it...BUT Its Perfectly OK...BUT I agree she has better Hats. However; Maybe she was going to Church... NOT to Royal Ascot ...and It kinda does look like that... In which case...No One wants to be in a Big Hat...or two Grand a Hat...Good Taste dictates a head covering and Keep it simple... Tick Tick...and HRH The Duchess Doesn't 100%... Doesn't deserve to be on you Worst Dressed...List due to a Hat... YOU don't like...PUT THE HAT on the List...Why Not...If your going to be..."That Picky" Lets have a Worst Dressed Hat section...Why Not...OMG
Sorry should have keep on watching that hat that; Dutchess, Sophie IS horrifying it looks like a cushion you set on when you have hemorrhoid surgery pitiful pitiful 💙🇬🇧💙👑
Did you ever think someone would wear sleeveless items is because “she’s older” and is menopausal. People who live in glass houses should keep their comments to the fashion and not snarky comments about the individuals. Please. P.S. foundation garments are critical to an outfit looking it’s best.
Yeah-not going to watch after reading you’re evidently critiquing a person with foot problems as failing in fashion. Maybe this will help your perspective improve: Letizia has a handicap now and it’s not nice or ethical to keep wishing she didn’t and that she could wear shoes you prefer. Talking about royal fashion is fun-calling out a body aspect is mean.
I like the color of Sophie's coat but the fabric is not heavy enough. Most of the time those type of hats don't look good. I don't like when Catherine wears them either.
Not everyone can wear high heels, and they are not practical. Queen Letizia has foot problems, she is a trooper for wearing nice shoes even if they are not heels. I got rid of any heel over 2 inches in my own closet, heels are not a must have.

As a fellow foot sufferer im sure she doesnt like her shoes very much but needs must.

Queen Letizia? Shirt and skirt. at a formal event. totally wrong.
Totally agree! I will never figure out how that could be a "best dressed" look for any occasion.
I disagree. I love the look. It always depends on the fabrics and styling, of course.
The skirt was fine but, the shirt was too casual. I wish she had chosen a top that was dressier or in a more refined fabric and added a bold neckless.
I don't believe in having to wear certain colours just because it is a certain season. If i want to wear spring colours in the middle of winter, I will!
I agree. Most blondes look better in pastels. Whether it’s November or April.
Princess Catherine and Queen Mary always get it right!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY HRH DUCHESS SOPHIE OF EDINBURG ❤❤❤❤🎉
I like Leticia’s shirt/skirt combo…when it’s moving. The still shots she kind of looks like a prairie school marm.
Maxima's earrings had a large purple stone in them surrounded by the green. They weren't just green.
Oh thank you! I didn’t see the purple. It’s still an odd choice though. Thanks for watching!!
@@RoyalFashionNews Agreed! It is an odd choice.🙂
Purple and green always makes me think BARNEY the dinosaur
I like the combo in the earring but overall it was too much purple.

Many of the ones on the list I agreed with, but didn't think the "best dress" one should be Queen Letizia. It was OK, but was much too casual, and think Catherine's was much better.
I thought the looser, belted, red dress was more flattering than the snugger pinkish one. When a dress is already snug, a belt seems out of place. The red dress looked more comfortable and appropriate for the season.
Maxima’s outfit looked like pyjamas with a dressing gown over .
HM Queen Letizia's blue skirt is a pretty color, somewhere between periwinkle and cobalt blue. It's a simple but elegant look. HRH The Princess of Wales' outfit that she wore to the Royal Marsden Hospital is another favorite. The colors are flattering on her. She seems to do well with earth tones. Not everybody can wear them and pull it off.
Agreed I look like death dug up in them
i like queen marys dress with the turtle neck and gloves. its a winter queen look. i think she needed to be warm.
I loved it ♥️🇨🇦
After having surgury on my left foot i really sympathize with Queen Letizia. High heels do hurt women, but sure do look snappy!❤
Letizia looks good in the red dress.
NICE new music Brittany. This is the first time l noticed it. :)
I hate the ‘white shirt and coloured skirt’ ensembles. Awful! If the shirts were same colour and material as the skirts then they would be so much better IMO.
Sophie’s hat looks like the hair hat thingy that Hasidic Jewish men wear.
The reason that woman in the Luxembourg RF, Maria Theresa is wearing sleeveless dresses with a wrap is that she's HOT. Yeah the pattern is distracting but the wrap is due to her ability to put on and remove during the event. When you get older you will get it.
I have never seem MT taking off her shawl. She always gets it wrong.
Can only agree with you! That really is a terrible hat! Although nowhere near the disaster class of the poo emoji hat!
I wish Queen Maxima would let go of the blonde. Something warmer could be nice and not so harsh in between touch-ups.
Queen Mary needs the gloves as she shakes hands with hundreds of people for these receptions
We Couldn't See the hat that Sophie is wearing. Try to get your pictures correct. This is most aggravating
But I love the rest of the video 💙🇬🇧💙👑
I always enjoyed watching your videos where you purchased the clothes the royals wore, their make up, etc. Hope you will do a few more in 2025. I bought Charlotte Tillsbury and Tom Ford lipstick based on your videos! More…more!
Queen Mary is the one I think absolutely champions the shirt and skirt category. Queen Latizia does look lovely too. Queen Mary’s gorgeous dress was ruined by the turtleneck. Such a shame because it’s a gorgeous gown.
Queen Mathilde looks like she's wearing something that hints towards a robe to me. Mette Merit could argue it was Viking adjacent and get away with it for repping Norway. It does have a sort of cosplay ethnic quality to the print. Maxima is Maxima, she's just entertaining, I kind of like her disasters because her personality is so big and her messes are human and relatable.
I like burgundy on Felipe, it's just the tie, but it's a good colour, and that suit style works for him.
Agree with you about Maxima’s fails being endearing somehow. Mette-Marit’s coat thing looked like a throw rug crocheted by grandma.
Agree about Mette-Marie-she looks Nordic folk dress-like.
I slightly disagree with you on Queen Letizia’s purple skirt outfit. I like the look overall but I think the shirt should’ve been more fitted, especially in the sleeves. The fit seemed off…..
I agree. I think a silk blouse vs shirt would have been better.
Brittany l love Sophie Duchess of Edinburgh but have to agree with you about the hat. It looks like something that our late Queen might have worn in the 1960’s. As someone who went from teetering in 4 inch heels to embracing flats after the age of 65, l have every sympathy with Queen Letitia. I do like a low wedge heel because it elevates while giving a feel of sure footing.
Don’t hold back. Tell us how you really feel about Sophie’s hat!😂
Do a video on the first and Second Ladies of the USA, in their Inaugural looks! I’m so excited to see their outfits!
No… Please spare us!
OMG Melania in Black...Ugh
@@VeronicaRussek LMAF so right!!
@ is it black or navy?
@@hotoneinspai Een woord voor de outfit van Melania: keurig. (met een potsierlijk hoedje).
Hi Brittany, I love your channel! You do such a great job with the European royals, and although our new American First Lady is not a "Royal" per se, it would be fun to follow your commentary during her fashion journey in the next four years. I'm sure I'm not your only fan who would love to see you take her on!
Thank you so much!! I'm definitely thinking of including her in these lists as she's honestly so incredibly stylish and I've always loved her fashion! In fact, I just uploaded a best and worst of the Inauguration fashion!! Check it out!!
Queen Mary's cries out for a tiara. The whole look seems unfinished without a tiara. The neckline also needs a bold necklace.
💓
Fun. Leticia’s shirt was amazing. Catherine looked so good. Just classic.
I recently wore a purple dress with green jewelry and I like that color combination. With regards to Queen Mary's turtleneck, it definitely does not come with the dress. She should have worn an undershirt that didn't show.
I think green and purple can work, but I think a muted person would have been better. And yes, I believe Queen Mary was required to wear a turtleneck, which didn’t work but I still liked the dress overall! Thanks for watching!!
@@RoyalFashionNews ? muted person?
@@RoyalFashionNewsit looks like Queen Mary must have worried about freezing with out a turtleneck and gloves! I remember visiting the royal palaces in the summer when it was quite warm, and they were still freezing inside! I wonder if it was a full turtleneck dress underneath.
@@leahmollytheblindcatnordee3586 I'm guessing that Miss Brittany meant "purple" that may have autocorrected to "person" I could be wrong but I'm going by context clues...
@ Yes, you are probably correct.
The turtleneck under the dress doesn't work.
It really doesn’t. Thanks for watching!!
12:34 I think the gloves would be better if they matched the bottom part of the gown and I whole heartedly agree with you about the turtleneck.
Have to disagree with your best of the week. It looks way too much like school uniform to me. Horrid.
I Love Sophie , Duchess of Edinburgh, and like her usual flowy style. but I don't like that hat either.
The red dress with the wide black belt in the beginning doesn’t look like it’s a good fit to her body at all. I’m sure it was very expensive, but they could have done a better job fitting it to her.
I could not care less how they dress. Because there is fashion and there is different taste, in french we say, you dont discuss tastes and colours. We are see differently so your opinion mean nothing at all. But l do love you❤❤❤ bit l dont agree with you , at all. I dress how l like and how l feel confortable.
If you don't think people should critique what others wear, why do you watch these videos?
In Maxima's defense, the earrings she wore with the purple outfit had green stones AND purple stones. However, she has a fabulous pair of amethyst earrings and a matching ring that would have looked better with the outfit, IMO.
Sorry, Brittany, but I HATE Letizia's white button-down shirt with the lovely blue skirt. Sometimes it works, and sometimes it doesn't. For me, this time it didn't. Also, I think it was far too casual for the event.
I do agree with you on that terrible hat Sophie wore on Christmas day. She looked like she was wearing a doughnut cushion on her head. She deserves better.
Yes, Mathilde's weird top and trousers were Natan Couture.
Re: Mary's outfit -- the turtleneck is not part of the GORGEOUS Rickie Freeman gown, and it was a big "NO!" for me. So were the gloves, which were the wrong length. The gloves and the turtleneck ruined her entire look.
15:02 her skirt has good flow. Her shirt is too stiff for that particular skirt. It would look better in a soft fabric not horrible, but not best of the week either.
The purple ensemble was the worst. Sophie’s outfit was nice compared to the purple outfit 🤢
I really enjoy your videos but as a health care provider being critical about a royal prioritizing their foot and back health by wearing more practical shoes makes me sad. No woman should be wearing ultra high heels regularly they are so bad for your back and feet!
I don't think suit jackets with one botton lay correctly.
I can see that! Thanks for watching!!
Hi Brittany! Please do a fashion video on our US Inauguration!!!!!
I broke my foot and after healing, my instep can no longer take wearing heals.
Best - Maxima in the red hat look.
Worst - Metta-Marit in that clunky, ivory, paneled tunic look.
$20000 dollors on such a bad fitting gown is shocking😮

Duchess of Stephanie of Luxembourg 🇱🇺-has potential
Queen May of Denmark 🇩🇰-styling is off
Sophie, Duchess of Edinburgh-The complete outfit is beautiful, but the hat is horrible.
Queen Letiza of Spain 🇪🇸-The outfit would be out of the park if the skirt ended on her shins. This skirt is too long on her.

Letizia’s dress is too big .
Queen Letitia has lost weight. That is why the red dress doesn’t like right! IMO!
Very enjoyable video. My one suggestion is for you to learn to pronounce Queen Letizia's name. Don't make the sound of a "t" as in pizza before the letter z, remember it is Spanish not Italian.
The turtleneck and the gloves. 😖
Before i watch this...I want to say to you what I was told ...IF you have Nothing Nice to say about someone...Don't Speak...
I dread, yet feel compelled to hear what your About to Say...So, stand by your beds guys.
OK so you didn't make a New Years resolution to be Kinder that's for Sure,,, Ouch!!! I do tend to agree with a number of your Picks... BUT Sophie's Hat... OK you don't like the Hat...we get it...BUT Its Perfectly OK...BUT I agree she has better Hats.
However; Maybe she was going to Church... NOT to Royal Ascot ...and It kinda does look like that... In which case...No One wants to be in a Big Hat...or two Grand a Hat...Good Taste dictates a head covering and Keep it simple... Tick Tick...and HRH The Duchess Doesn't 100%... Doesn't deserve to be on you Worst Dressed...List due to a Hat...
YOU don't like...PUT THE HAT on the List...Why Not...If your going to be..."That Picky" Lets have a Worst Dressed Hat section...Why Not...OMG
Sophie’s whole outfit looks old and dowdy! I’m in my 60’s and this is an old lady outfit I would never wear! Ditch the whole outfit not just the hat
Sorry should have keep on watching that hat
that; Dutchess, Sophie IS horrifying it looks like a cushion you set on when you have hemorrhoid surgery pitiful pitiful 💙🇬🇧💙👑
Not listening...just wanted to ask if those who wear those headbands are thinking they are tiaras?
Did you ever think someone would wear sleeveless items is because “she’s older” and is menopausal. People who live in glass houses should keep their comments to the fashion and not snarky comments about the individuals. Please. P.S. foundation garments are critical to an outfit looking it’s best.
I think that M wanted to look like Q Leticia with that CH black skirt, she does not have the body tipe
So which Brittany clone are you? Or did they work all last week and on the weekend creating so many videos for us to enjoy? ❤
Yeah-not going to watch after reading you’re evidently critiquing a person with foot problems as failing in fashion. Maybe this will help your perspective improve: Letizia has a handicap now and it’s not nice or ethical to keep wishing she didn’t and that she could wear shoes you prefer. Talking about royal fashion is fun-calling out a body aspect is mean.
You are right, terrible hat, brown boots don't look good.
I loved Maria Theresa’s dress !
I like the color of Sophie's coat but the fabric is not heavy enough. Most of the time those type of hats don't look good. I don't like when Catherine wears them either.
Agreed! The hat just doesn’t not work! Thanks for watching!!
Your favourite is a bit old fashioned and for once I don't agree with you
Hi, Brittany! Are you covering the Inauguration fashion?
Regards from Argentina.
