You know a lot of these women were like, "....do I have to wear stocking to meet the Queen? I don't know. I don't want to do. I guess I better." ## Helen Mirren ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/spl702486_013.xml) Apparently, she also performed a speech from *The Tempest* there in the Ballroom -- which is VERY red and white and gold and draaaaamatic, so that fits. ## Ralph Fiennes ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/469955465_10.xml) Double-breasted on Fiennes! I still love him, but I don't know if I can really get on board with the resurgence of the double-breasted. It's hard to pull off, even when the suit is as objectively beautiful as this one. ## Joan Collins; Percy Gibson ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/469954287_10.xml) This is EXACTLY the coat Joan f'ing Collins SHOULD BE WEARING. ## Joely Richardson ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/469954279_10.xml) This is quite demure. It's nice on her. ## Helena Bonham Carter ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/469954611_10.xml) She always looks like she's wondering when she can get back out to sell her tuppence-a-bag bread crumbs for Londoners wishing to feed the birds. ## Angela Lansbury ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/469955387_10.xml) In honor of Angela Lansbury, I am letting you know that Netflix now has ALL EPISODES of *Murder, She Wrote* on streaming and you might THINK you're going to watch just one, but it's impossible. That show is a compelling mix of terrible outfits, old school TV stars, and a seemingly never-ending trail of relatives of Jessica Fletcher to murder/be murdered. It's really watchable in a kind of terrible/wonderful way. ## Harvey Weinstein and Georgina Chapman ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/469955379_10.xml) Georgina looks classy and gorgeous. Harvey didn't even freaking shave. ## Luke Treadaway ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/469954605_10.xml) This kid was in *The Curious Incident of the Dog In Night Time*, as well as a lot of Classy British TV. He's dreamy. ## John Hurt ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/469954587_10.xml) It seems right that John Hurt looks sort of rumpled and like he just lost his pipe in his study. ## Stephen Fry ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/469947075_10.xml) Does his tie have soccer balls on them? I don't think so, but it would be whimsical. I cherish him. If you haven't heard his auto-book recording of *Harry Potter*, they are delightful -- I listened to much of one of them the last time we flew to London, as it seemed thematically appropriate and also if I fell asleep, I would not be confused about what was happening when I woke up. I hope he sidled up to Ralph Fiennes and started speaking in Parseltongue at some point. ## Uma Thurman ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/469947065_10.xml) This is lovely and elegant on her. I'm so relieved no one came to meet the Queen with her boob hanging out. ## Gemma Arterton ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/469947057_10.xml) "My boobs shall NOT fall out tonight!" ## Michael Sheen ![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/469947021_10.xml) I love him. I am quite broken up that he and Rachel McAdams have called it quits. Let's try and think of someone new for him to date. Fictional celebrity match-matching! It's fun. [Fugs and Fabs: Dramatic Arts Reception At Buckingham PalaceYou can espy what Kate wore -- and her chatting with a variety of these folks here. The subtext of everyone's wardrobe is, "OMG I CAN'T LOOK SLUTTY IN FRONT OF THE QUEEN." Everyone is totes apropos. Although Helena Bonham Carter looks like Eliza Doolittle's before pictures, that probably IS totes apropos for HER at Buckingham Palace. Additionally, considering that Ralph Fiennes was ALSO in attendance, do you think anyone got drunk and sidled over to him and said, "LET'S GO TALK TO BELLATRIX, YOU WHO MUST NOT BE NAMED." \[Photos: Getty\]![](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/content/files/www-gofugyourself-com/wp-content/uploads/2014/02/469947071_10.xml)](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/fugs-and-fabs-dramatic-arts-reception-at-buckingham-palace-02-2014/)
