Nice dresses for Victoria and Madelaine, esp. Madelaine´s dress is very different (usually the Swedish princesses have dresses that seem interchangable to me). Madelaine´s hair was nice too and I loved the big pearl earrings she was wearing. The black part at the bottom of the dress looks nice too.
Victoria´s dress would have been nicer if the ´white´ wouldn´t have ended so abruptly in the middle, but still it was a lovely dress! And this must have been the first time I have seen Victoria with one of the Jeep tiara´s that it doesn´t look ugly. So thumbs up for that too (though I still wonder why they put two diamond bases there). The brooch was absolutely gorgeous, as was the pendant of her necklace (the pendant would make a lovely brooch).
The Queen ... I feared the worst after her visit to Latin America but it seems the worst effects of her ´cure´ have faded and she looks less plastic. Her hair is absolutely wonderful and it matches the tiara very well (though I don´t particulary like the design of the nine prongs tiara), the cross pendant isn´t something I enjoyed (I hated the one on Sophie Wessex pearl necklace too) as a cross of this size reminds me of those you put on a coffin ... not that those come in diamonds of course
. The dress of HM.... it depends on what picture I see, in some pictures it looks very nice and in others it looks as if she just took a couple of loose red pieces of cloth and threw them over each other. Still, despite all that it has a nice dramatic tone and HM looks very royal indeed, which is most important to me.
Now I do think these orders are rather unfortenate for women, to have such a thing over a dress etc. the ribbon is hard enough but the portrait of the king.... I notice that they pin that one as much to the side as they can. I remember a picture of Princess Martha-Louise who had a simular order/portrait of her father in her armpit.
