I've been wondering that too. When the tsunami catastrophe occured, the King and Queen immediately interrupted their vacation, and they have done numerous things in connection with it - but that has been announced only via press releases. So let's hope for a new calendar of official engagements this Friday at the latest (which I will of course translate).

I agree with you. Though this top looks like a piece, Mary could have worn (silky material, moss-green colour..something that Mary wore often in the beginning) I don´t think Victoria can wear that! It looks so tight (I hope it/the seams rip, when she gets out of it-otherwise we will see it again...and again...and again) That I don´t like trousers at galas, I think I´ve said it often enough.
The real drama with this is, that Victoria always looks like an ugly duckling (in comparison), when she stands next to her (61 year old!!!) mother.

But yes, her hair looks good...finally more volume, and no ponytail.

While I like the hair to the sides like that and long, I think it just looks too casual and too, well, not unkempt but just wild. I like the glasses, of course. Anyway, Silvia is a vision as always.

Even Dennis prefers the dress of Silvia...
Seems as Vicky really has got not that kind of a good taste

[Dennism]

Yes, I won´t say it´s a horror like Lena but I´ve seen better and I´ve seen a whole lot worse.

BTW Lena hasn´t said, it´s a horror, but she thinks it is

Funny pic from Svd (We have seen Victoria doing this before...but then with Haakon, haven´t we ):

[Lena]

No, little correction. Haakon has searched something under the table, and Victoria was seated next to him (sorry Victoria, you aren´t a naughty "under the desk"-searcher...you have just learned from Haakon ):

Absolutely right. I read it too quickly. It was our good buddy Larzen. Ahh, the secrets of hands under the table...

Took her time at the hairdresser? Could you repeat? I agree with Dennis here, her hair looks wild, almost a bit unkept. The rest of the outfit is pure horror, here most of us seem to agree. I think it was very disappointing - and also disturbing - that she didn't have a nicer outfit, now she was outshined by a lot of ladies present at the gala (and isn't the Crown Princess supposed to be the one that glitters?).

The Queen looked wonderful - as she always does. God bless our stylish Queen, she never disappoints. :)
