Not a big fan of Victoria and Silvia's hats. Maria Teresa's is nice, but is it just me or do the hats seem sort of out of place at an energy symposium?

i realoly like victoria's outfit: slim black pencil skirt, black and white striped jacket. dislike the hat, but i guess it does bring some Spring-y exuberance to the rest of the outfit.

mt looks great. she always dresses elegantly (well almost always) and in a way which is flattering to her curvy figure.

it's amazing what clothes can do. mt looks slimmer than sylvia whose horizontally striped skirt makes her look wider.

Today was a big improvement!
Victoria looked fabulous --- she lately seems to be having fun with fashion - she's young, why not?
Silvia looked very queenly --- the hat was OK --- I love when she wears a chignon like Victoria. Now, for daytime, she doesn't seem to put as much energy into her hair-dos. Her hair always looks the same in the daytime and she just plops a hat onto her head.
Marie Terese looked so much better today. She kept her outfit simple. Black is flattering and slimming. However, she needs to lengthen her skirts to just below her knees - above the knee hem lengths do not flatter her legs. And when she sits down and the skirt rides up exposing even more leg ... oh dear!
Like her longer, blonder hair-do. But, still piles on the make-up, too much blush.

The hats that ladies wore during a symposium on energy and environment at the Royal Swedish Academy of Science in Stockholm were not a good choice at all.
What is it exactly around Grand Duchess Maria Teresa's neck?

Was it necessary to wear so many pieces at once? Additionally Grand Duchess definitely prefers to wear conical hats during this visit.
I like Crown Princess Victoria's outfit only: classical combination of colours and great hair style. I wish she did not wear that hat...

As for Maria Theresa...

...what a sight!!! This lady just continues to impress me (except for the Dutch and Belgian State Banquets).

She's a chunky latina, but she dresses so elegantly (much of the time). Even when you can see a roll or two she looks brilliant. And I mention her build with the utmost respect.

And what a fabulous choice in jewellery. Loving the old work charm she brings...diamond chocker accompanied by a diamond riviere...I say next time add a strand or two of pearls, or even a slightly larger diamond riviere. HRH would work it and it would look so damn classy, imo.

Lovely choice of tiara aswell. And to think they were going to auction it. Talk about moments of insanity!!!

Lovely evening dress, though leave the beaded straps alone.

Gogroeus brooch too. It's the second time she's worn it in Sweden. The other time being to Carl XVI Gustav's 60th Birthday Gala Banquet.

Oh thank goodness, I thought that I was the only one that thought the Swedish ladies were lacking in the style department on this particular occasion. You are right MT is wonderful. I love that she's "chunky" and still dresses and carries herself well.

She really is a "hit or miss" in the fashion department. A lot of the times there is just too much going on - too much jewelry, too much make-up, waaaaay too short skirts - she's short and chunky, that's true. But a very good stylist
could help immensely. Sometimes (like yesterday) she looked a stuffed sausage roll. She does not wear hats well - todays simple pill-box style looked great. Last night's gala gown probably looked great in the designer's sketch, but in reality ... MT looked uncomfortable - the dress did not fit well on the top and she was clutching her wrap/stole for dear life. She needs to keep her upper arms at least partially covered. She has worn some beautiful gowns in the past which do just that. She looks great in the Empire-style gowns.
She needs to pare it way down (like today) and keep it simple with longer skirts, less make-up and simple jewelry.

MT was the only one tonight who wore a Tiara. The rest of the Ladies sadly didn't.
Does anyone get that? It seems to be a new virus in Royal circles... some attend with Tiaras and some don't. It starts scaring me.

First the Dutch Royals did that, then the Belgians... now the Swedish...

Winner tonight: M-T!

It was the same at the State Visit to Denmark in 2003. At the return event Maria Teresa was the only who wore a tiara, the diamond and pearl one.

That's right. But I like her tiara very much. MT look simply great tonight.

Swedish three... I don't know. I waite for better/larger photos.

Well they don't surprised me at all.
Madeleine should wore some necklace. Hair are good. Once again she should take shoulder straps.
Victoria has some stones on her dress. She should do something with her hair.
Silvia ... I don't know.

Could it have something to do with that noone wears orders? I don´t think that i have ever seen a member of the Swedish Royal Family wearing a tiara without wearing an order. Maybe the Swedish and the Luxembourg familys have different standards when it comes to "rules" when to wear a tiara or not? Does anyone know if i´m right?

Sad that the Swedish didn´t wear full gala tonight, but it is the host (in this case the Ducal family) that sets the dress code for the return dinner right?

**HRH Kerry** · #75 04-16-2008, 04:49 PM

I wish that I was privvy to the protocol.

I don't know. Today the dresscode was black tie, which means no Orders and usually also no tiaras. But sometimes also tiaras are worn at black tie events for example also at the 60. and 70. birthdays of Prince Henrik.
Yesterday the dresscode was white tie which means Orders and tiaras.
But it is strange that the swedish royals ladies wear no tiaras when the could.

Normally the do always if there is a possibility to wear tiaras.

It doesn't appear that MT is wearing a tiara in the group photo.

Thats what I was going to say. Its like she didn't know that it wasn't a tiara event till she saw the other ladies and then took it off. Its a beautiful tiara though!

Would she really do that do you think - take it off straight away? The Empress of Japan wore a tiara at a dinner earlier this year when noone from the Swedish RF did...

When Victoria turn 18 she wore blue gown and the Most Noble Order of the Seraphim.
