Monic your first picture is of PML, not Sonja, which is confusing as I mixed them up! Sonja looked wonderful- love her outfit!

 

[Dierna23]

I agree, the Queen looks very nice here. It's a great coat, I also like the boots and the hat looks lovely!

 

[roseroyal]

The hat is my favorite part of the ensemble!

But Sonja is walking right next to Märtha and you can get an impression of the sideview of her outfit.

Queen Sonja looks lovely here. This fur coat is amazing - thumbs up!!

 

[ThePrincessRoyal]

I like the fur coat but I feel she could have paired it with something else.

Sorry for this impression, but I didn't find a better side view of the whole ensemble.

I like more the yellow suit

The gown itself is pretty, but doesn't look good in these photos, not enough regal. The suit is much more better, I like the color and how it going with jewelery.

 

[NoorMeansLight]

I was among those who disliked the lacey gown, but somehow I find it lovely in these photos. Perhaps the previous pictures (Victoria's wedding, if I remember right?) were unfortunate, I don't know how to explain it. The soft yellow suit was very elegant, the jewellery was stunning - Q Sonja looked wonderful in these portraits, IMO!!

 

[Her_Majesty]

Perhaps the previous pictures (Victoria's wedding, if I remember right?) [...]

She last wore it for Queen Margrethe's birthday celebrations.

I like more the yellow suit

So do I . But I'd advice her not to mix pendants with necklaces - she should have chosen either the one with the heart or the thicker necklace.
The simple costume and its hue are very flattering though.

 

[CrownPrincess5]

I don't know what's with the Queen and yellow but that is just not her color.
She needs to let it go.

Well, Sonja really seems to love that gown. I actually like the top half of the dress on Sonja, it's the ruffles that get me.

I disagree. Imo yellow looks quite good on her (apart from one certain yellow dress ).

[CrownPrincess5]

The bright yellow looks okay...but the pale yellow is blah!

The Yeti boots make me smile - very big and very furry.

Her Majesty, in America we say sweater, although I think the British do say pullover.

I'm a American so I could be wrong but dont' the British also say jumper?

 

[Maura724]

I think they do - in fact I think they say that more often than pullover - but of course I'm an American too.

 

[blujean]

Wow those boots are huge!! I want me some.

 

[Her_Majesty]

Her Majesty, in America we say sweater, although I think the British do say pullover.

I know.

What I meant was: is there a special name for this kind of pullover Queen Sonja was wearing?
Here in Germany this kind of pullover is called "Norweger Pullover" (so, Norwegian pullover).
Norweger Pullover

 

[Maura724]

Oh, okay. We just call them Norwegian sweaters (and I guess the British might say Norwegian pullovers) - so an exact translation of what the Germans call them.
