At least here in Holland we consider this kind of dressing "WAG" or "Gooische Vrouw" (means "Woman of the "Gooi", an area in Holland between Amsterdam and Utrecht were a lot of nouveau riche people live. They dress like that). It may be expensive, but it doesn't have much style. Same with Marie (in my VERY humble opinion of course  ). |
I am sure you or I or no one here has anything against Marie. She is just too new on the scene and we seem to pick up more vibes from her than other ladies we may have been used to by now.

I think that it is the best she has looked in ages. Nice balance of casua & formal, and the colours look great on her (especially the top!).

I take it that she didn't go hunting herself, otherwise that white cardigan would have scared all the animals away and the stiletto heels wouldn't have been too comfortable either. Otherwise nice outfit (yeah, even I sometimes think she looks nice  ..)

Well the white cardigan is beautiful but a bit cold to wear it!

I think that Marie looks fantastic. Dressing casually is definitely her strong point.

Princess Marie looks all right: classic timeless style. She defintely loves her grey colour.

She looks lovely in this suit. It is very classic and elegant. I like the little bow on the jacket. I usually don't like bows, but this one is very cute (but not too cutesy).

nice hair & suit but for official photos the neckline is too low for my taste - you can see more of the decollete than necessary. marie's style makes the whole couple look strange - a fast-aging joachim, pale & gaunt with the young sexy french girl marie showing off what she's got.

I think that her choice of clothing was perfect for the portrait, especially as it was for the announcement of her pregnancy and very much emphasized her belly.
