I really like Queen Sonja.. but sometimes , when I see the pink or the yellow dress, I get the feeling she's colourblind or something. :ermm:

IMO, her dresses would look much better if they were in another colour, because I think the cut of her gowns in general is quite beautiful...
 
One of her favourite outfits

She wore this orange jacket and skirt several times

  • During the StateVisit from Japan
  • During the 100th Coronation celebration
  • During a Visit to Asia
I bet she wore it a thousand times more.

I wonder if she ever wore an outfit only 1 time. :rolleyes:
 
I think the dress looks better with the red jack on.
 
Another favourite ;)

I know Queen Sonja has some dresses that have been remade. What I mean is dresses that was made for her, and them made some changes on, like the green dress she wore for Mette-Marit and Haakons wedding, I know the arms of the dress was cut, and Sonja has worn theese second version at one or two occastions. I was wondering if anyone have pictures of before and after of this and any dresses that has been remade.

If you look at the collage in the post above yours, you can see this specific dress in the 3rd row (for her son's wedding in 2001) and in the 4th row (at some dinner in Oslo). At least it looks like it is the same gown.


Bytheby, does anyone know when the 2nd pictures of the 1st and 3rd row and the 3rd picture in the last row were taken?

She always uses her dresses several times. Have a look here.

She's holding one of her gloves! She always uses to wear one of the gloves and is holding the other one in her hand. ;) And she's holding a purse.
 
Another UFO-hat (KnudsensFotosenter)

I can't said I specially like it...:sad:

Vanesa.
 
She also recycled some... crazy:rolleyes: ... dresses:

The Flower Gown:
First Time
Second Time

I hope she disposed it.. but I have a bad feeling :lol:
IMO it was too extravagant and she didn't look good in it at all..
 
Recycling a 14 (!!!) years old dress:ohmy: :

She wore a dark blue galagown 3 times: The first time she wore it for a Visit to Island in 1992; then it appeared again in Germany in 1994; and we got to see it again for a Statenaquet in 2006.

See her wearing the dress all three times here.

It must be a good feeling to fit into a dress you wore more then 10 years ago! :rolleyes:
