Season 1
   From Episode 1:8, Scene: Katherine's Speech  Opening Credits | Comments: Katherine's gown and jewelery plus MDK's outstanding performance made this one of the most memorable scenes from season 1 for me. - Boudica Looking every inch a queen,queen in this stunning costume - Maria Doyle Kennedy portrayed Katherine with such dignity & shamed Henry in front of the whole court. Totally agreeagree, Boudica, this was the most moving scene of Season 1 - MsSquirrly Katherine looks royal and regal in this gown. The color and jewelry befits her. Along with MDK's acting, this scene defines everything Katherine was in personality and looks. -LNor19 This is my favourite dress that Katherine of Aragon wears. The costume, the jewellery and the crown all define how Katherine was defending her status as Queen. I also love the speech she made - one of my favourite Katherine things is the Blackfriar's speech -VivatAnne1536 Katherine of Aragon looked every bit a queen in this scene, speaking her mind and making her point of view perfectly clear to everyone in the room, and that heard her speak, even centuries later. Her crown jewels are incredible, and very "her", something that I doubt was showshown as much likeas it was with other queens. But this outfit, the jewels especially, was easily my favorite part coming from this amazing woman, and actress. - carteremily Just echoing what everyone else said here. AbsolutlyAbsolutely loved the dress and the jewels were beautiful. Best scene in season oneone; Katherine being the strong and wondefulwonderful Queen she was. Maria Doyle Kennedy did a fantastic job delivering the speech. *Coronation* Magnificent jewels.-Jes89 It breaks my heart that Anne was so petty as to demand Katherine to give up her crown jewels. Karenofbethany *ITA Karen ~coronation Absolutely stunning...from top to bottom....totally regal!! - offwithherhead Agreed. Totally beautiful and regal in a moving scene, love she is wearing the official jewels of the Queen of England to a hearing determining if she really is queen(which she was!) comeCome on... one...AA royal Princess of Spain being the King of England's mistress for twenty four years? Unlikely. The True queen - I agree it was very petty and just plain nasty that Anne demanded KatherinesKatherine's jewels - She refused but Henry forced her too.to. Ah well - she is at least remembered as the True Queen and her grave always has fleshfresh flowers on it left by visitors. The detail and shape of this gown is stunningstunning, looks amazing on Maria, just beautiful hohumpigsbum |
  Episode 1:9, Last conversation with Mendoza | Comments: Everything about this scene, the setting sun, the peaceful and composed Katherine, and the outfit -- it's all gorgeous! - Boudica I must agree with you, Boudica. It's an extremely amazing scene. It's my most favourite MDK scene, come to think about it. This is probably the last time she saw somebody that she knew since childhood and is probably saying goodbye to the past--forgive me if I'm wrongwrong, but it came out the way they were channelling their emotions!.emotions! The costume complemented the scene very well.-Neta07 Completely agree with youyou, Boudica and Neta07, this dress is awesome.- Lady_Paisley MDK is so beautiful in this scene.-Jes89 This dress is absolutely beautiful. Katherine sitting here as she is reminds me of Princess Diana sitting in front of the Taj Mahal (when her marriage wasn't going well either), and her dress reminds me of an East Indian sari. - offwithherhead totally agree off with her head, it does remind me of Diana! and in many ways she was very like Diana - and they are distantly related! truly beautiful gown maria looks truly beautiful |
  Katherine in Promotional shoot -season 1   Episode 1:2, Treaty signing between France and England | This dress is hard to form a final opinion on. In the promotion pictures I do not care for the dress, I find it very unflattering, however in the show itself, the dress looks good on Katherine. The black and gold looks very royal on Katherine.-LNor19 Historically, I don't think she would have worn her hair down in public. Karenofbethany I agree with lnor the dress didn't look that great in photos but I liked it in the show ~~coronation I really hate this dress, not Katherine at all. Maria is a beautiful woman - and they put her in this?! |
  Episode 1:6 Episode 1:8  Episode 1:6 | They make her look dowdy here, which she was, never. Karenofbethany I really love this dress, and headpiece with the coat - i prefer the cloak open, a lovely costume!!! I think the two pieces are lovely on their own but shouldn't be put together mary_bess_Edward |
  Episode 1:4   Episode 1:8 | I've always liked this dress. The color of royalty, purple, looks perfect of Katherine! The brooch on the corset top is the perfect accessory, simple but noticeable.-LNor19 I love Katherine's dress here. The colour is beautiful. As LNor said the royal colour looks just perfect ofon Katherine Her hair piece is beautiful as well. *Coronation* Wow, everything is just right. The colour looks magnificent on her and the accessories top it off perfectly mary_bess_edward |
    at her nephew's feast-Episode 1:3 | MDK looks stunning here - VivatAnne1536 I liked this dress the colours in it compliment Maria's fair complexion love the headpiece as well. ~coronation I think this coat compliment the dress much better than the one she wore with it 2 dresses above. I also love it when Maria wears her hair down! - offwithherhead |
  Episode 1:5 The Joust-Episode 1:4  | Comments: Katherine wears the combination of black and gold very well. And I love the sleeves on this dress, as well as her French hood/bag snood.-LNor19 Lovely dress but the accompanying headpiece at the joust is awful! - VivatAnne1536 I think that dress is so beautiful,so medieval i love it!-Jes89 I don't think Katherine ever wore a french hood, but I could be wrong. Nevertheless, the costumes - all of them - are magnificent and so meticulously put together, the fabrics are scrumptious. Karenofbethany Beautiful! as lnor said maria really suits black and gold I like the french hood on her too. She looked soo beautiful at the joust.~coronation This dress is magnificent and Maria totally rocks it!! - offwithherhead OMG this is a wonderful dress and suits her so well. The shape, the fitting, the colours. Just wow! mary_bess_edward |
   Episode 1:8 Episode 1:2 | agree KOB Maria totally rocked this scene!! The colour of the dress is really pretty I like her necklace and her hairpiece too. ~coronation I agree that histhis dress is beautiful, but I think the color of it is too muted for Maria. I think Maria looks better in bolder colors. - offwithherhead -Look at the dignity and composure on her face and in her bearing as she withstands a celebration for Henry's illegitimate son! The crown is awesome! KOB This dress is hideous. The colour is drab, the white things on the upper half are distracting and the flaps around the waist are very unflattering mary_bess_edward |
  1.9  | Love this dress! She looks so elegant in black but the pattern on the corset top brings something to it so itsit's not all sombre and boring. I prefer the headpiece and veil in the second and third picture, as it makes her look more Spanish. mary_bess_edward |
  Episode 1:6 | I love this dress and want it badly!!! The pattern is elegant with swirls of gold, red, and a forest green. The pearls beaded down the center of the dress are lovely, and once again, the black and gold scheme suits Katherine.-LNor19 She looks like a goddess. All of that is tedious embroidery and piece work, the likes of which we will never see again. The details on her veil and the buttons, heaven. karenofbethany One of my favorites of Katherine's dresses. The pattern is stunning. Love the full length veil. - offwithherhead |
  Katherine with her nephew Charles V | Ahh! Loved this dressdress. .MariaMaria looks every inch the Queen in it,herit, her hairpiece is really beautiful too. coronation |
