I ment the other way around, they never wear (to my knowledge) a tiara without an order, but they do wear orders without tiaras...

But today she and her husband where the hosts, so she should know the dresscode.

What about noble ladies without order but with tiaras?

Oh... how about weddings? So many brides without orders but with tiaras
And few other ladies only with tiata Royal Weddings Message Board: Re: wedding Alfonso de Borbon y Dampierre & Maria del Carmen

Tonights selection of dresses so far have been my favorite. Victoria and Madeleine look very pretty. Carl-Philip is such a hotty. MT and Henri look wonderful!

I definitely agree --- I bet she removed it ---

Marie Terese looks great tonight --- Empire-waist gown -- that's the best style for her, it makes her look slimmer and taller.
The Swedish royal women look so casual --- almost like they didn't even try to make an effort.
There must have been a breakdown in royal protocol communications as to whether or not tiaras were to be worn. It does look like MT removed hers once she was indoors.
Somebody's head will roll for this one ---

I'm a bit confused why Princess Madeleine wore a fur jacket but Crown Princess Victoria didn't even have one (either a shawl or a jacket). Was it cold this evening?

I've seen Princess Victoria's gown before but are Princess Madeleine's and Queen Silvia's gown new?

Hope someone can provide some info.

Thanks,

Ayvee

Maria Theresa's gown was beyond lovely! Much better than the white I think. I was wondering the same about the tiaras?!

It was something between +5 and +10 degrees (C), so it wasn't that cold.
Yesterday was a sunny springday in Stockholm.

Quite the same climate than in Austria.

The queen worn the blouse in China July 2006 and the skirt to many times.

The gown of Princess Madeleine is new, I think!

I don't think I have ever seen Swedish Royal ladies wearing tiara for a black-tie event. On those occasions the tiaras stay in the vault (in Sweden at least). Women don't even have to wear full skirts, so it is a less grand dressing code than white-tie. It was strange that the Grand Duchess still wore a tiara...

[Marengo]

I think that there was a simular 'mistake' in Denmark, when the GDss was wearting a tiara at the second gala while the Danish royals were not. It is a pity that she removed hers though, it looks lovely, though the two rivieres around the neck didn't hurt either.

IMO Victoria was recycling the prettiest gala dress she has and it is nice to see her hair with a wave this time. IMO the grand duchess looked esp. lovely too, though I do not agree that the she is chubby or anything, just a figure like most women of her age.

Is there some video of the visit?

Thanks Franz! See, now I'm wondering why Princess Madeleine wore the fur. Oh well, perhaps she was cold while Princess Victoria wasn't.

Thanks ursulajohanna for your info about the gowns. Princess Madeleine's gown looks so much like the one she wore at a Nobel gala - at least in terms of the color and the ruching of the gown. But after seeing it without the fur, I have to agree that it's new.

Victoria's hair was gorgeous, though that evening dress isn't the best, but each to their own.

As for Maria Theresa, she is somewhat a curvaceous woman and does carry a few extra pounds. But as you stated, a woman her age is normally bound to fill out and it does her no injustice.

Didn't Princess Madeleine wear that gown to a wedding, I believe she was a bridesmaide.

[ursulajohanna]

Sorry, you are right - princess Madeleine wear the gown on Charlotte Kreuger wedding on 16th February 2008!

Thanks for the info. You are absolute right. Interesting to know that there are other ladies (other bridesmaids) who have this same dress as well.
