July 22, 2021 is the 10th anniversary of the terrorist attacks on the Government Office Complex in Oslo and on Utøya island. 77 people were killed and many others were severely injured. Members of the Norwegian Royal Family attended various commemorative events during the day. Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit attended the commemorative event in the Government Office Complex. King Harald and Queen Sonja attended the memorial service at Oslo Cathedral.
Nice dress on Mette-Marit, right up my alley, but it is too tight. Hairstyle´s a bit girly but why not. In Scandinavia, you get away with that.
ReplyDeleteSonja looks very elegant, with the hat adding a summer-y touch.
Mette-Marit is big-busted & that too-tight dress must be uncomfortable, especially with her lung condition. Otherwise, it's a nice appropriate dress. ~Laurel~
DeleteThinking about all the young people that died in this horrific terrorist attack....
ReplyDeleteI do not know if it is okay to comment on fashion due to that sad and terrible memorial event.
ReplyDeleteI do not like Mette-Marits dress it is a bit too tight and her hair style is for little girls.
I like Queen Sonjas light / white outfit.

Such an awful day for Norway! Commemorations are important to hold but are always painful--and you can see that in the expressions and body language of everyone in the photographs. Queen Sonja is lovely--and white is a color of mourning in many cultures. Given the associations of white with purity, the Queen's choice of white is so heartbreakingly appropriate. While her dress may be a too snug, I like CP MM's look. The dress is beautiful--and she looks so good in simple, tailored lines. As for her hair style--I love it. It is neat and unfussy. While I might have forgone the bow (which I agree with other posters is a bit juvenile), the half up/half down style is timeless and very flattering on MM. I like that her hair is not hanging down around her face.
ReplyDeleteI am glad the country continues to support those families left behind, after the horrific pain/death of their family members.
ReplyDeleteWhite may be a sign of mourning, however, I personally did not like the 'summery/frilly' type hat the queen was wearing. She is a wonderful, lovely woman, I just did not like the hat.
MM is dressed lovely, though the dress was a tad to snug, it was pretty, appropriate, and I also loved her youthful hairstyle with ribbon. jj
