State visit to Japan

[Boris]

I wonder why nobody opened this thread? Of course there's one on the 'Imperial Japenese Family' forum, but it's of equal interest on this forum, isn't it?
Visually the state visit has been great so far, with an all-new wardrobe for Queen Silvia (for those of you who care for a superficial matter like this - I know you're out there!)
Day One:
A great white pearl-embroidered suit for Queen Silvia during the day.
For the state banquet: A fuchsia pink pleated gown, obviously designed by Japapanese fashionist Yuki - a close variation of her latest Yuki Nobel dress but much better looking, I'd say. Worn with the ruby Connaught tiara for the first time in 12 years, plus with a ruby & diamond pendant on her collet diamond necklace. Very good combination.
Day Two:
Pink again during the day, an unusual but beautiful cut of a jacket combined with an outlandish hat in the shape of a flower bouquet... don't know what to think of this one!
For the return gala: An understated but very elegant white dress with a lot of subtle pleating going on. Worn with the Connaught diamond tiara and the sapphire, pearl & diamond necklace.
So far Queen Silvia has been looking great IMO, if it wasn't for that flower bouquet pinned on one side of her head...
As I remain a complete computer imbecile, maybe someone else could post some pics? Many thanks in advance...
