Not under the dress but under the grey coat she wear saturday afternoon during the walk in the snow!That grey coat doesn't seams to be very warm having in consideration that it was so cold!

I meant under the grey coat.

Maybe that dress was appropriate for miss Madde Bernadotte but in my humble opinon it was no appropriate dress for Her Royal Highness Madeleine Thérèse Amélie Joséphine Princess of Sweden, Duchess of Gästrikland and Hälsingland.

I hope that the difference between the two is seen. If not, then the difference between being a 'celeb' and being a member of a royal or aristocratic family is gone.

Princess Madeleine has somewhat lost that line out of the eye.

I was trying to point out the same exact thing with Mabel.

No, with Mabel it is her choice of couturiers while with Madeleine it is also her fake-looking suntan, her use of lipgloss, her Paris Hilton-style hairdo and the strange barbie-way she placed her diademe.

The strange barbie-way she placed her diademe? Henri, please do explain yourself.

She wasn't outside for very long. Just enough to walk from the car to the building and then back again. I've worn skirts/dresses that length in the winter time, but only when I know I won't be spending a long time outside.

[Black Cat]

Poor princess, she had absolutely frozen carrying out the duties.

[avrilo]

In favor of Madeleine I will say she is young, hot and snexxy (princess by deffinition are not usually hot and snexyy lol), remember she is only 23, that is a decade younger of many other princesses; so her looks should be young, make up hair and all. I think she has a lot of sense of style, unlike her sister, who looks like a secretarian mosst of the times and we rarely see her beautiful hair

I think we would have to be severe on her if she, in look for elegancy end up looking like her mother, if you didnt like the hair fine well she cant win them all


And to henri M, more than Barbie it made me think of her as Miss Sweden :P, but she looked really beautiful

I agree, she's only 3 days younger than I am. People are coming down on her, IMO, far too severely. She looked great the night of the concert, but she would have looked even better if the dress was longer. She looked downright dreamy the night of the ball. And I'm still confused about what the problem with lipgloss is. She wasn't wearing fire-engine red or some outrageous color...it looked like a pinky-nude color. Is that not appropriate or something?

We are still discussing the pink dress and style? My first association was this lady

Sorry folks...bash my brain for it
She is not 23, but 24 and will turn 25 this year. And as someone, who is self out of the year 1982, I think it´s slowly time to dress a bit down. But that should be of course up to everyone. And some women never do it (auntie Birgitta for example)

Well, at least women like Madeleine and Mabel give us and the tabloids an entertaining time
One should though note, that Madeleine and Mabel are in the Royal ranking quite different. Mabel´s husband is even not a member of the Dutch Royal House...while Madeleine is third in line to the Swedish throne and seems to aim a life in the cosy nest of taxpayer´s Disneyland

[ZandraRae]

Funny picture Lena. I agree Madeleine needs to dress down a bit. For the most part, her gowns are beautiful, she just needs not to show so much cleavage at times. As for lipgloss, I like it and wear it myself. It helps to prevent chapped lips, among other things.

[Sister Morphine]

She's a 24 year old woman now, she can't look like she's 15. And her nails aren't plastic. I'm sure she has them professionally done, and she probably takes care of them, so they are her real nails. A French manicure, which she seems to favor, doesn't mean her nails are fake.


In the States, lip gloss is worn by teenagers, young adults, mature women....my mom wears lip gloss, and she looks good. As for make-up during a job interview.....I don't care how serious the company is, if the person you're interviewing with is more transfixed on your lip gloss and not on your credentials and interview ability....you don't need the job. Most women, in fact I'd say ALL women who interview for a job are smart enough to look appropriately, including makeup. To say that if it's a "serious" job you shouldn't wear any, is silly.

I don´t care, if they are plastic or real...they look fake and for my taste they are way too long. And that one is 24 doesn´t mean, that one can´t look natural anymore. It´s even so, that many women go back to the natural style at this age.

I totally agree with you!!!!! wearing makeup does not bring down your chances of being successful,in fact, it helps you be more successful in my opinion and just like you said credentials are whats important not necessarily how you look. As far as fresh faced as someone mentioned earlier, are you kidding? lip gloss does not make you look younger but a fresh face certainly does especially in a professional environment. As far as Madeliene is concerned I do not see how she overdoes her makeup. She looks great and I never knew that it was a " bad thing" to look like a barbie. I admire Madeleine because she knews when to dress all the way and when to tone it down. The girl has got beauty and style!!! which not too many people have. I do not care that people are trying to make her look fake and overdone that is just jealousy in my opinion, she is a very classy and elegant woman.

I'm sorry to say that I could not disagree more, but hey... what the heck?
Live and let live. If Madeleine feels comfortable in a babydoll and with lipgloss, so be it.

I agree. Most women wear make up when applying for a job. I know I do. The whole point of make up is to hide the things you're not happy about and make the things you feel proud of, stand out. I feel more secure that way. And it's not that Madeleine wears make up every single day, so I don't see what you are all complaining about. Het make up was fresh and not over the top, so....

Does anyone have pics of her hands (nails) cause that's something I haven't paid attention to :p

Madde



You can see she has a French manicure, which she favors a lot.

Ugh. I have to agree, her nails are horrible.
I don't think her make-up is so much the problem, more her extreme tan.
