This is not a wedding outfit IMO. It looks a little 'picnic' in the afternoon to me. Too casual for a Crown Princess attending a wedding.

Sorry, if I have to bring it to a picnic, it wouldn't be on me but underneath me.

I think it's much too classy for a picnic.
I'm sure the price tag doesn't suit a picnic

This outfit looks perfect on Mathilde for a spring/summer weddding.

In my opinion, Mathilde's coat is perfect and classical. She looks stunning!

I know, I'm monotonous, but...if Mathilde's style and good taste in choosing her clothing are ecxellent in my opinion, I can't do other then appreciate them...Another dress I really like, and that looks very well on her...also this morning we have had a stunning Mathilde!

I like the graphic design on this coat. Black and white combos work really well on Mathilde. Her hair and skin really look lovely against these colors. I think that she has worn this coat before, but I can't remember where.

Joining the rest, I have to say that Crown Princess Mathilde looked impeccable in a black-and-white coat with an abstract pattern.

[Turkish Delight]

The coat is very classical but lovely.

Her coats arusually very beautiful
This one is very nice, as well.

Very crisp colours for Princess Mathilde!
The coat and its pattern remind me of the Finnish fashion label 'Marimekko'.

A very basic look. I like the white top and earrings. I'm not wild about the khaki pants, but then again, I don't like khaki pants for women. I think that the top would have looked nicer with black pants.

I like the white top. She looks lovely!

I agree: beautiful top, ugly pants.

Great look, simple and unfussy. It's probably the fashion now with short jackets, however, I do think ladies need to be aware of their own bodies and choose the appropriate length that flatters them the most.

Your observations are quite apt. I think that Crown Princess Mathilde is fond of short jackets and it has little or nothing to do with current fashion trends. Indeed, these jackets do not always flatter her. When paired with A-line skirts, short jackets tend to produce a more flattering look. When paired with trousers, ensembles may come out looking awkward, I dare to say.
The whole look is simple. However, I am not sure about trousers because the latter appears poorly tailored ... or perhaps it is a case of bad photography.
