King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia are making a three-day State Visit to Mexico between March 12 and 14 at the invitation of Mexican President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador. On March 12, King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia hosted a dinner at JW Marriott Hotel in Mexico City. Today, King Carl Gustaf will inaugurate the Mexico-Sweden Business Forum. Before leaving the country, the King and Queen will travel on the Maya Train to Uxmal.
King Carl Gustaf, Queen Silvia, Amabassador Gunnar Alden and his wife Sara Alden.
Queen Silvia's dress is lovely, but I don't like the sleeves. I would have made them in one piece, not in 3 pieces and let them end a bit lower under the elbow.
ReplyDeleteThe 1st lady's dress is classic and fits her well.
Not even 3 pieces but 4 pieces! Doesn't look good.

Totally agree with you on the sleeves. The lady in the beautiful black dress is Sara Aldén, wife of the Ambassador
DeleteAnon 9:13 I was not counting the collar but started to count with the golden part, next the orange part and at last the little golden part just above her elbow.
Deletemy thoughts exactly
DeleteBoth Silvia and Sara Alden look elegant!
ReplyDeleteI agree
DeleteWow, the Queen looks fantastic - head to feet! MR
ReplyDeleteQueen Silvia's gown looks very 'costume-y' to me, like something you'd expect to see at an opera - on either side of the stage. This is probably because of the layers of ruffles on the sleeves, the shiny brocade, and the metallic fabric bands, all combined with the collar and the colour of the gown. It's all too fussy. The colour itself as well as the collar are quite lovely but to me would have looked much better on a simpler, sheath style of gown with that collar and a narrower band around it if the band was necessary at all.
ReplyDeleteThe ambassador's wife on the other hand, looks sharply elegant and sophisticated in her black gown, as indeed do both the gentlemen in black tie.

Queen Silvia’s hais looks wonderful! Best than ever !i wonder if she has appointed a new hair stylist
ReplyDeleteMaybe there was a hair stylist at the premises who did her hair.
DeleteThe top completely destroyed Silvias dress. Please redesign.
ReplyDeleteSlightly exaggerated there eh?! I think firstly she looks wonderful, so the dress must be doing something right. Secondly, I think the sleeve design is a nod to Mexican National costumes which frequently feature multiple layers, eg in Chiapas style. I love it when visitors such as the royals wear a local designer or something with local features; I find it fun and very thoughtful! - AnneLise.
DeleteNo, not at all. You do realise this is probably an old reuse for Silvia? Have a feeling I have seen it before a long long time ago. You can see this not exactly fit her anymore. Check chest/waist. When this was made the top of the dress was in, not so much anymore. Now it looks outdated. Should it be new a bad, bad design and fit by the designer.
DeleteAgree with AnneLise
DeleteI agree with 14:19. S
DeleteBeaucoup d'élégance chez toutes les deux ; les cheveux de la Reine sont superbement bien coiffés et surtout d'une belle couleur qui sont en harmonie avec les teintes de sa robe !
ReplyDeleteI love Silvia's gown, it's beautiful and playful and what a lovely colour. And about the collar and sleeves, for me more is more in this case.
ReplyDeleteMy first thought was Aztec/Mayan/Inca gold influence of Mexico. Kind of has that vibe to it in the sleeves and fabric. The suit might be a rewear, fits perfectly.
ReplyDeleteAztec/Maya gold in Mexico ok, but Inca???? No.
DeleteDress reminds me of the borg queen..
DeleteI think Silvia looks great. I like the color and style of her dress on her. Very nice brooch and earrings. Her hair looks really good.

I like the first lady's dress better - good cut of the dress. It would be even better if the dress was in a different color - for example, blue or burgundy.
ReplyDeleteStephanie
I think queen Silvia’s dress is very original !!
ReplyDeleteSilvia is such a beauty! chase@errya.ru
ReplyDeleteSylvie est magnifique

Queen Silvia's dress looks great on her. What a lovely colour. I'm undecided about the sleeves. The other lady's dress is a great style but, like Stephanie, I would have preferred it in a brighter colour.
ReplyDeleteQueen Silvia looks lovely matching shoes and bag;she has got beautiful highlights in her hair.I like the colour and style of the dress;very stylish(Tara)
ReplyDeleteLove this evening look from Queen Silvia--she looks radiant. I would, as others have said, changed the styling of the sleeves--probably would have removed the 3rd tier, the solid orange-ish color.
ReplyDeleteJanet
Isn’t there going to be a state dinner with the Mexican president?
ReplyDeleteI love the gown Sara Aldén is wearing. - Louise
ReplyDeleteThe fabric of the gown is lovely, however the layered sleeves make the outfit tacky, elementary dressing part 1.

I like Sivia's look. Never seen this gown before. Also like the gown of the Swedish Ambassadors wife. css
ReplyDeleteQueen Silvia's gown looks stunning. Both ladies look so elegant.
