  1. Quelle élégance chez Silvia dans un tailleur/jupe dont la veste au boutonnage croisé --Victoria dont j'aime particulièrement la veste blanche joliment ceinturée de noir ; on peut penser qu'elle la porte sur une robe ou un haut ?! Très jolie pochette !

    In the last 3/4 pictures they all look totally out of reality...

  3. Both ladies look fabulous from top to ... knee. I wish, Victoria´s skirt had been knee length, either pencil or A-line. Even a bell-shaped skirt had worked, but this floaty midi one looks wrong, as does the uneven hem. This event called for a formal and somewhat strict outfit. I am, however, absolutely in love with the top two-thirds of her outfit. The jacket looks smashing on her.
    In Silvia´s case, I wish she would throw out all those superbright, almost white-looking tights.
    This king is always well dressed, and I have yet to see him in a suit that doesn´t fit him to perfection.
    Daniel´s suit looks good indoors and less so outdoors. His tie knots continue being rather poor.

      Yes, considering Daniel's position, his tie knots are really quite pathetic. He desperately needs help, like from the king perhaps? Men's ties are my pet peeve - especially when they don't hang straight! ~Laurel~

  4. I love Victoria's skirt suit here. The monochromatic works well for her. Silvia has such a Jackie Kennedy vibe here, very elegant.

    1. Agree about Queen Silvia's outfit. I also think that CP Victoria looks like vintage 1950s "new look" style. Both are supremely elegant.

    The queen, who I always think is very nicely dressed, gives me the idea that a clothing set from the 60s/70s has been taken out of her wardrobe this time. There is nothing wrong with that style of clothing, but slightly adapted to this time gives a better overall picture in my opinion. The CP, on the other hand, I think looks super nice and appropriate. The neckline of the jacket suits her well.

For me, it's also a different procedure on the iPad and on the desktop. I remember to change to my name about 95% of the time but occasionally forget. Most people now add their initials at the end of their post, presumably to get round this.

      je me suis posée également la question surtout quand ils cachent des propos plus ou moins acerbes sans être quand même vulgaires !

  9. I have never been a fan of uneven hemlines, but, I must say that, in this case, it works with Victoria's overall look. Her jacket is lovely and the brooch with the pearl drop is beautiful. Somewhat like QEII, we've learned to expect a certain look from Queen Silvia. She has found her style and doesn't often venture from it. Her suit, hat and shoes are very nice, and the pearl necklace, earrings and brooch are pretty. The King, as usual, looks very dashing and very solemn. Daniel looks good.

  10. How elegant both ladies look! Silvia's suit is such a classic. I love Victoria's suit--except for the uneven hem. Still, even with the uneven hem, she looks wonderful.

  11. Victoria looks stunning. Finally something else than those Mary Poppins flower dresses.
