    Gorgeous, really gorgeous. I normally don’t like her style as I find it both Gucci and gaudy. This is however “princess fabulous”

      She looks good and young, shoulders, neck part, skin - but I don't like the dress. Although from an expensive brand/designer, it reminds me of a luxurious night gown.

      I’m with you. I think Princess Astrid looks lovely herself but the dress is too shiny and there’s too much material in it. The neckline and shoulders are good but not the rest imo

    Wow she looks great in this gown. Very different, modern and lovely colour for her complexion.

    1. Gemeint ist sicher "geil" (als Synonym für "toll"), denke ich mal. Oder?

    Love the pink & silver and overall effect of the design…very much a fun party dress! Some of the specific details, like the ties at the sleeve cuffs, and the amount of fabric at the cuffs and bottom are throwing me off a bit, but I still think it’s a fun dress and she looks great!

    Gorgeous gown. I don’t mind the shininess of the fabric, which is a luxurious silk. The off-the-shoulder effect is very flattering to the wearer and seems quite daring at first, but the neckline is actually carefully modest, thankfully avoiding décolletage which keeps the look elegant. I can’t tell whether the Princess’s hair is short or long in an updo, but it is the right style for this gown that showcases the neck and shoulders.

      18:28 I’m looking forward to you writing a bit more and stopping deliberately misspelling the subject’s name. For every post here for weeks you write this same “I love…” followed by the wrongly spelt first name. Wasn’t funny and isn’t funny, just stupid.

    Someone should tell the American ambassador how to behave for pictures. Astrid looks lovely. Seems as she lost some weight

      Is he the gentleman who has crossed his arms giving off a bored look?

    An unusual style, but I find it absolutely gorgeous on the princess. Lovely hairstyle as well.

      I agree. Usually I am not a fan of excessive fabric but this works for me

    Princess Astrid is looking good. One rarely see her with her hair in an updo. It suits her beautifully. The pink dress matches her complexion. Surprised to see the American ambassador there. I agree with Anonymous 20:05.

  17. I cannot recall ever seeing her hair up style before, she looks fabulous really suits her. The side profile view of her hair, stunning, I love this look for her. Her earrings look to be diamonds, lovely. She looks beautiful.
    The lady in the 2nd last photo in deep Navy colored ensemble, she looks gorgeous, I love her outfit.

    I really like this dress: it looks very festive. The combination with updo and longer earrings looks fab. It seems she has outgrown her blonde hair: it looks completely grey/white in the pictures. It looks fantastic, it suits her very much. It's a very energetic look!.
