    I like Queen Sonja's outfit very much. The jacket is lovely, the pink is fresh, and the geometric print gives the fabric a nice texture. I'd have liked to have seen it all in brighter lights or even in daylight than a darkened stage - for better effect.

    2. J'espère avoir bien traduit en français : « une reine adorable, à mon avis c'est la meilleure ! »

  5. Le rose de sa veste à dessins géométriques donne un look très frais à la Reine ; est-ce une impression mais il me semble la voir sur une photo esquisser un pas de danse ?!
