Princess Laurentien need to fire her stylist - and pronto. What has she been thinking lately? I understand that she has just given birth to a baby lately, but come on, this is getting out of hand.

Sounds like a job for you then!

Or maybe she should consult Máxima's for some tips.

I just might fly off to The Netherlands and do that. It'll be my charitable act for the year Or maybe Grand Duchess Maria-Teresa will be kind enough to slip off the number of her new stylist to Laurentien. She has looked really wonderful these past two weekends if I do say so myself.

Good idea, Gabriella. Here is Mathilde no doubt giving Letizia sage advice or making sure the wind does not knock her over.

I don't like this caftan look on her.

by the way, what Queen Noor is wearing is not a caftan..This style according to the Moroccan traditional clothing is a Gandoura

Mette-Marit and Haakon talk to the Bride and the Groom

Letizia: "You remind me of someone. Oh, I know who. It must be the blonde hair and the electric blue dress! Now, I know who you two are. You're the couple that got married when....well you know who.....attended that wedding with Felipe in 2001!"

Felipe: "Letizia, keep your voice down! Mum and Daddy are standing right next to us. I don't want to know what would happen if they heard us."

Haakon turns red for Felipe.

 

[Humble]

Is it appropriate for guests in a wedding to wear cloths with colors like Silver (Rania's dress), white, off white and so on ?

Excellent, Samitude.

Yes, that lady is Menchu del Valle, Letizia paternal grandmother (her paternal grandfather is talking with Felipe). She huged all 4 grandparents in the same way

One breast go up, one breast go down.

I know!
I was just going to say that. Looks like her left breast has escaped from the bra-cup.
She should've put more thought into this. If you're going to wear a strapless dress, better make sure you're all nicely contained.
I think she could've worn something more colourful to the dinner.
She looks stunning though. The back of her dress is lovely, so is her hairstyle.

 

[GrandDuchess]

My awards for best dresses of the evening goes to (*drum roll*):

Grand Duchess Maria Teresa
Infanta Cristina
Queen Sofia
Paloma Rocasolano (Letizia’s mother)
Crown Princess Mette-Marit
Crown Princess Máxima
Princess Madeleine

But are you sure that is Alexandra of Denmark. It doesn't look like her to me. 

You´re right. It doesn´t and that guy next to her looks really familiar too. [/b][/quote]
One of the southern russian neighbors. My guess is kazastan (spelling).

Oh...for once, I love what the Grand Duchess is wearing (usually, she's too frilly for me). Does anyone else think that it really resembles (and maybe is the same) the dress that Catherine Zeta-Jones wore a while back to some awards show or another. I believe it's Versace.

And, how cute are Martha-Louise's pale pink shoes!!!
