Victoria at the Spanish wedding in 2004

[Lena]

In one week is the next wedding-in Spain (well, I guess everybody here knows it :P ) and therefore I thought I should post some photos of Victoria of the last big spanish Royal wedding from 1997.
Yes, I know, Victoria was too skinny then...but I´ve to admit, that I liked her style then really (esp. the hair style) , and in a way she strangely seemed more happy then, or maybe happy isn´t the right word, but "easygoing" and "excited". I don´t think that she was really happier or more balanced then, but maybe more excited, because all this was new for her.
Yesterday (at the wedding) or at the "youngster-night" in the club she seemed different to me. Less enthusiastic...but of course I can be wrong.
The only thing, about which I´m really sure is, that I don´t want to see a dress like yesterday again, and I hope she will choose an as classy costume/suit as in 1997 for the spanish wedding.

Oh, holy sh*t...she did it again, or better said she didn´t IT again. Or are there people, who like this style?!?! I´m disappointed!

Is she lacking money to spend on dresses? Or what? Because even for less than $500 she could get something nicer than this: http://estaticos.elmundo.es/especiales/200...enes/pardo5.jpg

Is it just me, the picture, or is there something wrong with the skin on her right upper arm??

[Yennie]

yes it does...
btw, is it "ok" to wear trousers at these kinds of occasions? (for women that is :P)

[Alexandria]

I am so happy that Victoria has discovered colour! Yeah, something beyond black, beige and brown!

As excited as I am about the colour, can't say that I care so much for the outfit. I question the pants situation, too, Yennie. Everybody seems to be wearing pretty fancy gowns and Victoria looks too casual standing there next to her gorgeous mother in the great dress and wrap. And I'm not so sure what is with this cape thing hanging off of Victoria's shoulders from this outfit.

From last week's Danish wedding to the pre-wedding dinner in Spain, Victoria has been disappointing of late. I hope she fares better tomorrow at the wedding itself.

Yes it looks blue. Maybe she was hit there, an accident in a gym?

Maybe you should become a royal shopping advisor and thus saving a lot of money so that the king does not need more money! And we would have a reporter at the source

Here it looks like beeing beaten. Strange !

Maybe an optical misleading!

Hmm… I’m starting to become very concerned over Crown Princess Victoria’s choice of clothes as of lately… Although I agree that it’s nice to see her start wearing some vibrant colours, her choice of dresses at last weeks wedding and now today has been a disappointment. That green thing from last week was not very becoming at all (especially the thin lace top, or whatever it was, it would have been a minor plus if she’d worn just the dress), and now this top-pant-cape thing or whatever to call it… First of all, she should’ve worn a dress, not something with pants. And then there’s the cape - I really don’t get it at all, it just seem wrongly placed like it does not belong there, and does not fill much of a function – other that looking funny. Maybe some fashion guidance could be of use? Any volunteers? I bet there are! :)

Let’s hope for a nice dress at the wedding tomorrow!

HERE...HERE ... HERE I´m not a pro in fashion-things...but I believe that I can claim, that I would have done better (also last Friday). Well, IMO it would have been hard to do worse (but yes...the colour of the suit-cape-dress-thing was vibrant). But so far I´m still busy with my "drum-dance", which should help to prevent from an other fashion-disaster tomorrow! :P

She looks good and I like the outfit. Nice.

Our high hopes of a better dress for the wedding day seemed to have worked! Although she’s not on the top list of dresses, and I’m absolutely not thrilled – but I like the dress, it looks quite good and she bears up the colour very nicely!
