On May 21, 2025, Queen Sonja of Norway attended the opening of the 73rd Bergen International Festival at Torgallmenningen Square in Bergen. Before the ceremony, the Queen was welcomed with marching band music organized by the Norwegian Music Federation. Queen Sonja also attended a luncheon at Håkon’s Hall in honor of the festival, hosted by the Municipality of Bergen and the Mayor.
The Bergen International Festival is Northern Europe’s largest music and theatre festival and is held annually in late May and early June. In 2025, the festival takes place from Wednesday, May 21 to Wednesday, June 4. King Harald serves as the patron of the Bergen Festival.
She always dresses with style and thoughtfulness. I do like her jacket. I do not understand the purpose of the skin coloured scarf around her head - is it there as a “hat” and doesn’t show particularly well in the photos, do you think?
ReplyDeleteI wondered about that too. Perhaps it's there to keep her ears warm? If so I think another colour, red maybe, would have been better. (V.M.)
DeleteI guess it was a windy day. The scarf is the same colour as the handschoen, so I can live with it.
DeleteSorry,
DeleteI mean: gloves!
Yes I think red would have been better. And perhaps if it’s for the wind, positioned on top of the hair not under it.
DeleteTerribly windy and very cold day for being in May, could it be a quick solution? C
DeleteLa reine est toujours vêtue avec élégance ; j’adore le rajout blanc des broderies sur cette couleur corail !
ReplyDeleteThe skin colored 'scarf' looks like a large bandage. The dress is very pretty.
ReplyDeleteQ S is fantastic, she is always such a beauty!
ReplyDeleteI think the scarf would not look better in a bright colour, it would draw too much attention. I actually thought it was a wig. Based on previous comments it might well of been to cover her ears from the cold and wind. How clever.
ReplyDeleteFantastic look for Sonja today.

Wonderful look for the Queen, the embroidery is gorgeous and so well done. She looks stylish and elegant.
ReplyDeleteQueen Sonja looks fabulous as always and I simply adore Bergen!
ReplyDeleteThis month marks a renewal after darkness and extreme cold months in Norway.
There Is a lot to celebrate until October at best and then the natural cycle of freezing cold weather will have to be prioritized again over human activities.
Bergen has got very peculiar features and a well- known market where I never happened to see flowers shops selling the same flowers as in other parts of Europe.
I just saw simple country flowers, which are part of the typical Norwegian vegetation growing at those latitudes.
