1. Redesign old clothes quần As a royal figure, there is no need to worry about finances, but Kate Middleton often reuses clothes when appearing at different events. To make the outfit look more fresh, Kate will change a few small details such as cutting sleeves, changing belts, combining with other shoes. For example, in 2013, the Duchess appeared in public wearing a coat she had worn two years earlier. But this time, she changed the belt to make the overall look more modern. 2. Makeup for legs instead of tights Members of the royal family need to wear neutral-colored tights at official events regardless of weather conditions. But Queen Letizia always ignored this rule. Instead, the First Lady of Spain opted for make-up on her legs. This secret helps her skin look healthy and shiny. 3. Neutral nail polish Kate Middleton follows every royal beauty rule without a hitch. She always wears neutral nails because the Queen takes this principle very seriously. Besides, the neutral color also makes the nails look bright and not wavy like other bold colors. 4. Use primer instead of foundation Meghan Markle likes to wear natural makeup and never hides her freckles. She only uses primer when applying makeup, and foundation will be used in official events. 5. Shoes of different sizes Kate Middleton always has to stand for long hours when attending events, so she is very careful when choosing shoe size. Depending on the weather, style and brand, Kate will have different ways of buying shoes. For example, when buying summer shoes, Kate will choose one size larger in case her feet swell from the heat. 6. Multi-function shawl As a rule, representatives of the royal family are not allowed to undress in public. That’s why Queen Elizabeth II and Kate Middleton always appear in a well-dressed coat. However, they cannot wear a coat when wearing an evening dress. At this time, a shawl will be a tool to ‘rescue’ the queens from freezing to death. 7. Additional shoe sole Queen Letizia often adds an outer pad to make her heels more stable and not slip. She improved many designer shoes with the help of this simple construction. 8. Hairstyles During the 80s, Princess Diana almost wore only one hairstyle. In fact, her hair has changed but it is difficult to notice. Every week, the stylist will cut 0.6cm of her hair. Thus, she has both a satisfactory hairstyle while avoiding all the attention of the media.

In order to always look perfect, the royal ladies used some small but useful tricks to avoid awkward situations. We’ve researched many fashion forums and found out what “hacks” help modern-day representatives of kings always look good. Redesigning old clothes Unlike many public figures, Kate Middleton has never been shy about appearing at different events wearing the same outfits. To make her outfits look fresh and modern, Kate redesigned them by changing a few small details. In 2013, the Duchess appeared in public wearing a coat she had worn two years earlier. But this time, she changed the belt, making the whole outfit shine with new colors. Nails of natural color Kate Middleton can hardly be seen with bright nail polish. It is believed that it is all prescribed by etiquette. Perhaps Kate follows all the rules without a doubt, but another reason to choose natural colored nails is for practicality because naturally colored nails will last longer. Shoes come in different sizes Kate Middleton has to wear high heels for several hours a day. That is why she is very careful in choosing shoes. The Duchess chooses her shoe size depending on the style and brand. For example, Kate mostly buys summer shoes one size or half a size larger, as it will help her avoid blisters on her feet. Limit the use of makeup cream Meghan Markle is a supporter of natural looks and doesn’t hide her slightly red freckles under heavy makeup. For this reason, Prince Harry’s wife is very limited in using primer and only applies makeup foundation to certain areas of the face during important events. Multifunctional shawl According to protocol, representatives of the royal family are not allowed to take off their outer clothing in public. That’s why Elizabeth II and Kate Middleton can be seen often in elegant coat outfits. And while they look perfectly suited to everyday looks, it’s pretty hard to imagine wearing evening gowns with outerwear. That’s when a casual shawl or a matching gown can come to the rescue. They will help keep the body warm in cold weather without breaking the rules.

The price of 800,000 VND / person is quite high compared to the general premises, but it is also worth it due to the expensive location, 5-star standard space. In my opinion, the tea flavor here is not too special but the cakes are varied and the taste is much more impressive. Besides the famous cakes such as tiramisu, panna cotta … the lollipop-style coconut cream is also impressive. The cream is covered with young coconut rice, served with palm sugar sauce, and it doesn’t taste too sweet for me.

The staff enthusiastically guided us to choose the desired cup, followed by tea (can be combined with milk, honey or sugar). There is also an hourglass to keep the tea hours hot enough. I choose chrysanthemum tea with fragrant and light flavor, the cakes vary widely, but to me the taste is a bit sweet.

At the door of the hotel, customers will be guided by Door Man to take the elevator to the 7th floor and walk down to the 6th floor, so it is a bit inconvenient.
