But dear God, the standard of writing. It is so bad it actually sounds as if the journalist is taking the p1ss. "Ladies", "updo", "coiffed" "flowing locks", ugh - is this the Hyacinth Bouquet school of twee, anachronistic journalism?

Oh, it's sparklies like this that make me LOVE the LHC. I almost fell off my chair laughing.

I love the dress, and I wish we could set TorrinPaige or one of our other hairstylers (I know Torrin's name better because her videos are my lifeblood) loose on her just ONCE, and see whether the media start calling for an overhaul of the entire fashion system.

I think her updo is gorgeous. It's crazy how hair is heat styled and then teased and hair sprayed for updos but I do understand the necessity for it to come out amazing on the first try and last through an event without any mishaps.

I don't know if anyone else saw this, but one of the Mail columnists wrote (last week?) moaning about how Kate's hair was too long and dragging her down etc... Diana's was much better... too old for it... she (the columnist) had just had her shoulder-length hair cut short and it was so much better....

Philistine. I think she'd die of fright if she came on here!

I'd like to see Kate do more updos, they suit her.

Remember, to most people, that IS an elaborate updo. And I think she looks lovely, as usual. I'm very impressed with her dress. It's perfect in every way.

I thought it was quite pretty. "Elaborate" is hard to quantify. It is a little like "tall," line up a whole bunch of people and the tallest ones could be labeled tall, but where along the line is the break from average to tall? What happens when an NBA basketball player walks in? Then everyone is short comparatively.

I think it is a pretty updo. It might not be elaborate compared to some LHC styles.....but come on people. We ARE the NBA players of the updo world you know.

I agree with pepperminttea lets make it up has a tutorial virtually the same as that, but i also think it looks very pretty and that dress is gorgeous

I wonder if people would be so critical about her "amateur" up-do if she were a member and posted a "what do you think of my new up-do" thread.

She looked gorgeous in her 'elaborate updo' and her dress was stunning too

10 out of 10 to her hairdresser/stylist!

I really liked the updo, I loved the dress, but her shoes, HER SHOES!!!!!! I LOVE JIMMY CHOOS.

But seriously, I actually thought the hair looked really nice. maybe not as smooth as what I would have pictured on her, but she still wore it well. It would be nice to know if it can be done minus the teasing and curling and texturising before hand.

I also like the idea of making up some sort of look at this pic, lets see how many of us can recreate it on ourselves thread.
