You are too kind, I was going to say it looks terrible the color is just so blah. The Irish President is good looking woman IMO. Sonja wore that outfit for Ingrids christening, Im sure some other time s as well but cant remember.

I see . Well, I like the form of the hat! Something I didn't see before!
The colour isn't that good indeed.
I first thought the dress was new... But of course it's not.
