What absolutely horrifying stockings the Icelandic first lady has on. Good grief! On another note, it's nice to see the CP couple out and about. Is Iceland still a protectorate pof Denmark, or do they just have political ties?

Here is a VIDEO from the conference. Start if the video, the first lady takes off her sunglasses & hands them over to Frederik but he doesnt take thembut then everyone laughs about it.

No it isnt. It gained their independence from Denmark in 1904. I think there is some kind of relation between the two countries.

Fantastic! Thank you Ayvee and Princess Maxima. Hopefully we'll be able to see a better view with details of the gown soon. The trip so far seems to be running smoothly and all parties look great.

However, I must say that Mary's make-up at tonight's gala was a little on the heavy side. I prefer a more "light" look for evening... something similar to the late Carolyn Bessette Kennedy's make-up style.

she looks wonderful , i like her gala dresse .

[missjane]

I think Marys hair looks beautiful. Classic and elegant. So hard to believe that she was not born into this life. She is such a natural.

[Greenmachine]

I'm not so fussed on the dress either, although her hair, makeup and jewells are gorgeous as usual. At least she wears a variety of clothing, not all of a similar style.

[marmi]

I really want to see more of this dress! Hopefully there'll be more (and bigger) pictures soon! Until then, I cant judge it.

[Eliza]

She really looks like she was born royal...her cool beauty and grace. I like her day suit but hve no comment on her evening gown as you can't get a real good picture of it...shame.

[GlitteringTiaras]

You can see the gown here. More information can be found here regarding today's events.

I thought Mary's dress was very pretty & very different for her, im not too sure about the hair do with that dress, it seems abit too much. Finally Frederik smiling & not looking bored at an official event.

Mary looks stunning as always

[missjane]

now that we can see her face, i think not only her hair but also her makeup is stunning. Remember, it is an evening event and that calls for a touch more glamour. Night time light is so different to the daytime. The overall look is glamour and sophistication.

[missjane]

I'm going out on a limb, I really like the dress! I know, surprising but true. It is quite ethereal. I love how floaty it is.

I also love the photo of Fred looking at the artwork.

I think I must have been channelling you over on the Mary nighttime fashion thread.

But I agree, I too also love the photo of Fred looking at the artwork.

Thank you Paty for the wonderful pictures. Unfortunately I found something I really hate in her evening ensemble. The shoes! Those nasty, pointy, elongated monstrosities! The look like some deadly weapons. Ugh.
