Tobias Billström is stand in for prime minister Ulf Kristersson, who has a cold! Tobias is the foreign minister.
ReplyDeleteWho could believe she will be 80 on saturday! She looks lovely and the black stockings look good with that beautiful Chanel dress.
ReplyDeleteHer outfit looks great.
ReplyDeleteShe should have worn tan pantyhose, though.
But -her hair is hideous.
Too much dark dye.
Should have been a lighter softer brown. Now it looks like a bearskin from the Coldstream guards.
Well that was a bit harsh, wasn't it... 🙄 She looks absolutely smashing, the pantyhose fit the style and the season perfectly. And her hair looks absolutely fabulous. Her natural coloring is very dark, her hair was practically black, thus a light brown colour would look ridiculous on her. If you don't want to let your hair to get totally grey or even white, then why not keep it closer to its original colour. I would be happy to look that good on my 80th birthday one day.

Agree @ Paula. A bit of a harsh comment from Anon 16:04
DeleteBut at least she was kind enough to throw in a positive comment when she said “Her outfit looks great”.
My dear old mum always said "if you say a negative, don't forget to balance it with something positive 😉.
A tried and true look for QS that suits her so well. The colour is particularly nice on her. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteJ'aime beaucoup voir la Reine ressortir de son dressing cet ensemble dont la couleur fuchsia est à son avantage ; elle a su adopter la couleur noire dans ses collants très fins !
ReplyDeleteThe Queen always looks wonderful in this beautiful Chanel suit! Much prefer the darker pantyhose to the white she sometimes prefers.
ReplyDeleteGreat to see her wearing a Channel outfit. css
ReplyDeleteOh this outfit looks marvellous, I love the addition of the dark sheer hose, perfect choice. This ensemble looks so elegant, the color is gorgeous on her. Goodness she is wonderful for her age.
ReplyDeleteThe Queen always looks very good in this red Chanel suite. Someone commented on her hair colour but we should not be too harsh in our comments. On my screen her hair has a beautiful dark brown colour, nothing black about it. Reproducing a photo to a screen can do all sorts of tricks to colour.
ReplyDeleteWhile the Queen looks smart in her outfit, I am not a fan of the colour. If it was a different shade of red, or whatever it is called, it might look better. Overall the suit is well presented. Edwina
ReplyDeleteShe looks lovely... And totally amazing at 80....
ReplyDeleteFabulous.. She really looks lovely
