Nail polish cannot be colored when running a Royal business - there are no exceptions! If you have to wear it, stop. That's the rule.
10. Hemline must be weightedThe hemline is a line formed by the bottom edge of a garment, such as a skirt, dress or coat, measured from the floor. The hemline is perhaps the most varied line of style in fashion, changing shape and ranging from hip height to floor length.
In the Kingdom, hemlines shouldn't be light - and should be weighted whenever possible.
Nobody wants a moment like Marilyn Monroe when the skirt is lifted because the hemline is light, right?
