C'est un plaisir de voir la reine qui a belle allure dans cet ensemble ; toujours beaucoup de goût dans le choix de ses bijoux dont ce collier à grosses perles de lapis lazuli !
ReplyDeleteLovely queen, suit fits well. I am not keen on her shoes. She has a dark pair that she wears as well. It seems a blend of a slipper and a boot.
