Sorry we can't do multiple votes. The system doesn't allow us to set limits on how many we can vote for. You can always list your second choice.
 
I voted for Queen Mathilde on May 11 mainly because I love how the print of the dress underlined the cut. It looked lovely imo.

My second favourites are Mathilde's green lace dress and the white a-lined coat of Letizia.
 
I finally voted for one of the older crowd. My votes so far have tended to be the younger ones. Today- the 89+ crowd- - QEII. I loved that outfit. Faultless. She looked so elegant. I love that color. She rocks it. Reminded me of my mother's lemonade cake. And together with the DOE, who looked so dapper- they looked like they had just come off a time machine from about 1925. Maybe even 1837. But definitely the " old days". Not 2015.

My other choices would have been the Duchess of Cornwall- but didn't like the hat- or the COW- nothing wrong- just loved what her MIL wore. And it seems there was another outfit I liked- didn't make the list - can't remember what it was.
 
I liked both looks of Queen Letizia, but my vote went to the first one. Reason: she looked more sophisticated both in clothes and hairstyle, which is unusual for her.
 
I voted for Victoria's blue dress. Such a lovely color and a regal look.

My favorites:

1. Victoria's blue dress
2. Mathilde's green dress
3. Silvia
4. Madeleine
5. Letizia's white outfit
6. Camilla
7. Letizia's blue and white outfit
8. Elizabeth
9. Mathilde's blue dress
10. Mozah
11. Victora's beige outfit
12. Rania
13. Marie

I too liked both of Queen Letizia's looks, but preferred the second because I love that elegant outline ouf the a-line coat. But the hair she had with the blue outfit was lovely indeed.:flowers:
 
I voted for Queen Mathilde's black floral outfit from May 11. The printed top and trousers look is rather unique and I wouldn't normally expect such a combination to work but it does. Her pink floral dress from the same day is also very pretty.

I tend to agree with you but I gave my vote to the first outfit because I was pleasantly taken by surprise, since she usually plays safe and doesn't risk too much.:flowers:
 
Happy to see Letizia's ascension day suit out again so it gets my vote.
 
Oh I completely forgot about Letizia's May 11 outfit. I loved that one as well. It's very fresh and girly. It was nice to see her in something less business-like for once. The printed skirt is very pretty and so are the shoes.
 
I voted for Princess Madeleine, May 17. I think the dress looked great on her.
 
My vote goes to HRH The Duchess of Cornwall on May 12th!
 
I voted for Letizia's white outfit. I like her blue outfit, too. I liked Mathilde's trouser outfit as well, and I also liked Camilla's blue ensemble, but the elegance of Letizia's swung me.
 
Queen Letizia's white outfit(May13th) is the winner for me.

I also loved Princess Madeleine's ivory/pale beige maternity outfit.
 
Queen Letizia's white proclamation suit with an updo (just as I wished she had worn it the first time) gets my vote for overall perfection. CP Victoria in May 17 is my runner up, that outfit really suited her.

I also liked Mathilde blue dress from May 13.
 
I kept going back and forth between Queen Letizia's white outfit and the blue one she wore on the 11th. The blue outfit was so cute and I loved the colors, but in the end I voted for the white outfit because I thought she looked really elegant.

My other favorites were the dress CP Victoria wore to the banns and the outfit Camilla wore on the 12th.
 
I went for Q Letizia's blue Herrera outfit of May 11th. Perfect for spring! My second favourite was also Q. Letizia, in her enthronement outfit. She shows that she can be in every inch a queen without wearing a hat.

Mathilde had some nice outfits this week too. So her dress of May 11th will be my 3rd choice. And a nod to the three British ladies, who consistantly dress to the nines.

A disappointment were the Swedish ladies. It looked a bit bland.
 
I agree about the Swedish christening outfits looking bland. A bit more colour wouldn't have gone amiss. But out of the 4 Swedish ladies I liked Victoria best, it was at least slightly coloured and she had the nicest fascinator, imo.
 
Close-ups of the Swedish ladies' hats and fascinators:

1-2. Sofia
3-4. Queen Silvia
5-7. Crown Princess Victoria

I'm afraid I don't like any of those fascinator/hat arrangements, and I like Sylvia's least of all. It can't make up its mind whether it's a modern facinator or one of those funny little veiled hats ladies used to wear in the 1950s, but they were worn on top of the head and hers looks like it's slipping off her head. I don't think any of these arrangements look good worn with long hair flopping about. Victoria's looks acceptable because her hair is up.

Now I see it close-up, Sofia's has a distinctly Minnie Mouse vibe about it. :D

Yes, I'm afraid I am inclined to be very catty when it comes to fascinators and hat-inators or fascin-hats. Come to think of it, they look like cat toys. Think of all the fun cats would have batting them around. :ROFLMAO:

I liked Queen Silvia's the most. Victoria also looked nice with hers, though the fascinator itself is not my cup of tea...
 
:previous: It's fine that we all like different things. Variety is the spice of life. The world would be a boring old place if we all liked exactly the same things.
 
I don't like fascinator/hat arrangements with hair up or down. Some hats royal women wear are so ugly. I'm American too, so I guess I look at the whole fascinator and hats in a different way. But I think they do look good on some royal lady's and I guess everyone has there own taste and style.

Very well said!:flowers:

I think that is what was boring me about the Swedish ladies at the banns: a lack of variety to season the looks. None of the outfits was really bad in itself, imo. But all of them together looked a bit whitewashed.
 
I also loved Victorias outfit - and her fascinator - most.
Do you know, how they are fixed at the hair, that the fascinator is not falling down?
Bye Bine
 
I voted for Sheikha Mozar's outfit simply because it is something a little different to what we are used to seeing her wear (well me at least) and she looks lovely and almost casual in it!

Queen Letizia's outfit gets a very close second - it's lovely to see it again, one of my favourites!
 
I voted for Queen Mathilde's blue dress. That shade of blue looks amazing on her, and she just looks great here in general. I almost voted for Mathilde's green dress, but the belt put me off a little.

Honourable mentions go to Queen Letizia on May 11 and May 13, the Duchess of Cornwall and Countess of Wessex on May 12 and Crown Princess Victoria on May 12.

That's how I felt about the whole event too, really underwhelmed. None of the outfits was bad but they were just so ordinary. I'd have liked the bride-to-be, in particular, to wear something more colourful and fresh. She should've stood out in my opinion and instead she blended in with the rest.
