  1. I like this red gown CP MM is wearing, it is stunning. The Q looks good in Royal blue. Pss Astrid looks very special it must not be easy on her, but she is who she is a Pss/ css

  2. Gorgeous red dress for Crown Princess Mette-Marit, beautiful blue for Queen Sonja. There's something very poignant about seeing the King with his sticks and Princess Astrid in her wheelchair--the older generation obviously failing in health. On a positive not, I love the fifth photo where the Crown Princess and the King are really laughing, as opposed to polite smiles

    1. Agree with your comments and think all of the ladies and men look great. Love that the Queen and CP are shining in national colors!

  3. The Ladies all look lovely! I thought that Crown Prince Haakon pushing his Aunt was such a lovely gesture for him as well as his wife. Annie

  4. Queen Sonja's blue gown is lovely for her, Princess Astrid's gold dress is pretty, and CP Mette-Marit's gown is gorgeous. CP M-M and Valentino often are a fashion marriage made in heaven and this is one of those occasions.

  5. It's a lovely dress but it is too small for her. Yes, she fits inside and it does not bulge, but the draping is meant to fall loosely and the sleeves are meant to be loose and gathered on top, and not cling to her arms. Beautiful style, a love lady but a dress too small. - Ellie

    1. Was this really necessary? MM looks lovely. MM dress is bigger in the waist then the models. The draping is perfect. Do u really think a skinny anorextic models tells us how a dress is supposed to be worn?

    2. The Crown Princess is a busty woman with a lovely female figure, the red dress is stunning on her! Adore her "less is more" style with jewels. Leo

    3. Anonymous at 8:30. My comment was just as necessary as yours, or just as irrelevant as yours. Just keep your hat on and don't make rubbish claims about anorexia and rah rah, as I mentioned no such thing. Your opinion is different from mine, and just put it in your pipe and smoke it. You haven't got a clue how I think. There is always someone who thinks she is board police to tell people what to post and how to think. Toodle-pip and live in peace, in your way. I don't mind whatever you choose to do. - Ellie

    4. I agree that it is way too tight. No need to speak about "anorextic models" to see that.

    5. To my eyes, it's not too tight at all. She looks fabulous! MM has a curvy and healthy-looking middle-aged female body, and the dress fits her perfectly, as it fits the model, too. The only difference is their body type -- the model has a very boyish, almost breastless figure, as models tend to have. I have noticed that people often seem to criticize dresses as too tight, when the dresses are actually ok but show a curvier figure.

    7. MM is smashing in this dress. Perfect fit. Great from head to toe. Nothing more to say. Jennifer.

  6. Ravissante Mette-Marit dans cette robe rouge ; j'aimerais mieux regarder sa coiffure. La reine a l'air de beaucoup aimer cette couleur bleue ; moi également, je la préfère à la couleur jaune souvent portée. La princesse Astrid est bien jolie dans sa robe dorée avec les chaussures assorties !

  7. They look absolutely gorgeous. Love, love, love Mette-Marits red dress. Suits her perfectly. What color can't she wear. And it was fun to see that for the first time ever MM wore Crown Princess Märthas diamond and pearls earring. https://preview.sdl.no/v1/no/xR_7Tst9faZAM-m2YJliSQ/QrrjJLiVmKA

  8. Princess Mette-Marit wins the NewMyRoyals’ “WOW” prize of the day.
    The gowns of Queen Sonja and Princess Astrid get an honorable mention.
    Only negative point for me is that it’s a bit of a miss for the skirt (hemline) on Queen Sonja’s gown.
    The King and Prince Haakon look quite swank in their white tie and tails.
    p.s. Princess Mette-Marit looks well again and good to see her out and about.

  9. The Royal ladies look lovely Special mention to Pss Astrid, how beautiful she looks in her gold gown, and gold shoes. Wonderful she was able to attend. CP MM looks outstanding in red, definitely her color, this is a gorgeous gown. Queen Sonja looks beautiful in her blue gown. Love her mulit strand pearl choker, divine.

  10. CP Mette Marit will get a lot of wear out of this beautiful simple dress. She doesn’t normally wear a lot of jewelry but without the badge sash I could picture a major necklace.

  11. I don't think there's a single lady who doesn't look good in red and MM is no exception. Very beautiful! I wish her hairstyle was a tad softer, but that's nitpicking, really.

  12. Beautiful red dress on Mette-Marit. I like these simple styles and solid colours on her, which I think suit her much better than the floral prairie dresses. I also like that the dress is properly floor-length on her rather than the length shown on the model. I wish the neckline was a bit lower, and I don´t think the purse was a good colour match, but apart from that I think she looks lovely. Size is fine but it is a snug fit.

    I don´t like Sonja´s dress at all. The colour is too bright on her, the dress is too bulky, and I´m neither convinced about the style nor the material (in the skirt).

    Astrid, Haakon and Harald all look good.
