'Hamilton' Gala performance

This photo makes me laugh. Harry and Meghan are DELIGHTED and Lin-Manuel Miranda is like, "Are these my seats? Are you sure?!"

'Hamilton' Gala performance

Speaking of people being DELIGHTED, this photo was taken right after Harry sang a few bars -- we have video of that in the body of the post. I knew he was wandering around the palace singing, you guys!

'Hamilton' Gala performance

In which sincerely everyone is having THE BEST TIME EVER.

"No, when Gran wears this around the house she pushes it back a bit further. We served queso in it one year on New Year's. Don't tell anyone that."

Behold the holiday card for literally everyone in this photo. I am including Harry and Meghan in that.

The French Visit Denmark

Meanwhile, in Denmark, the Macrons have popped over for a visit. OF COURSE President Macron is kissing Queen Margrethe's hand. It's so courtly! Additionally: I love her dress and also her bag. Hello, my style icon is an 78 year old woman! (And so should it be! She has years of experience looking stylish.)

France's first lady, Brigitte Trogneux, also looked quite chic throughout this visit, as one would expect from a Frenchwoman. This look is by Louis Vuitton. I also feel like, somewhere in Scotland, Queen Elizabeth just peered closer at her iPad and said, "I feel like this room is missing a hideous rug to warm it up. SOMEONE GET DAISY ON THE PHONE NOW, PLEASE."

This red is very fetching on Mary, as well.

Hello, I love that patterned dress! Brigitte's crisp white mod number is cute too. (I read a piece in...The Telegraph maybe? It was sniffing that she is very dated in terms of her dress, but I sort of feel like she's come around to being retro? Regardless, I think this dress is very flattering on her.)

Speaking of flattering, Mary's Giambattista Valli frock is SO GOOD. It can be yours for the low low price of $2700. (I actually think it looks better on her than it does on the model there, even.)

Everyone looks appropriately kicky here! With the exception of the dude standing next to Mary, who seems DOUBTFUL.

"Good evening. I wore ALL my pins in your honor tonight!!" [I know, I know, they're not ACTUALLY just random pins, don't @ me.]

I LOVE this dress on Mary -- she's worn it before, but I think the black veil-y bit is new (that's a technical fashion term), and I almost wish it were just strapless?

Here are Prince Joachim and Princess Marie and somehow I JUST found out that she herself is French? Anyway, it was also her birthday, AND this is a new tiara! She looks great/continues to look so much like Mary that I think it's weird.

(You can see more pics of her life choices, and everyone's outfits here.)

Crown Princess Victoria

And, finally, over in Sweden, Crown Princess Victoria is truly living her best patterned life.

Crown Princess Victoria

This looks like Erdem by H&M to me and as mean as that sounds, I actually like this a lot.
