Today was a two-parter; [you can find part one here](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/well-played-kate-wills-and-georges-royal-tour-of-australia-and-new-zealand-day-seventeen-part-i-04-2014/).

For last night's Cocktail Shindig Thingie (official royal terminology), Kate gave the old nod to Lela Rose, which is seriously surprising. I would have thought she'd have gone for an Aussie designer -- Lela Rose is an American, and this feels like a *really* big get for her -- and there was a rumor that she was going to wear Ralph & Russo at this thing (they did that[ insanely hot white dress Angelina Jolie wore during the *World War Z* junket](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/well-played-angelina-jolie-06-2013/), and I would literally send the Queen $20 if she'd let Kate wear that). ANYWAY, while I actually really like Lela Rose (her collection last September was deeply charming), I am not *super* into this. I know, you guys. I'm sorry. I mean, listen, Kate never looks straight out BAD, and I am sort of going back and forth on it, but the upshot is...I have some notes.

One of the notes is that I do enjoy seeing her hair up for a change (although let's be real: if I had that hair I'd be swinging it around like a girl gyrating on the top of a car in a Motley Crue video all the time). But another note is that this feels somewhat Daytime Event to me. And I will say that while Kate's classic style honestly appeals to me, I find that she's good at daytime and good at evening, and sometimes sort of rando at these "cocktail" events: I was neutral on [the Temperley she wore to one](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/played-kate-middleton-12-2013/), and I [disliked *this* Temperley ](https://go-fug-yourself.ghost.io/unfug-it-up-kate-middleton-10-2012/)she wore to another one AND[ I was undecided on THIS one. ](https://www.gofugyourself.com/well-played-will-and-kate-the-asian-tour-part-i-09-2012/the-duke-and-duchess-of-cambridge-diamond-jubilee-tour-day-1-5?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io)Huh. I hope this doesn't mean that when Kate and I finally get together for cocktails I don't blurt out, "I have notes on that outfit." I *plan* to blurt out, "wtf are we going to do about Cressida, dude?"
