The dress she wore for the pre dinner was okay but not in My taste
I agree. From someone who has attended more "Gala's" than most CP's and has dazzled with fabulous gowns and gorgeous hair, this is the pits.What has happened to Madeleine, she used to have wonderful dresses a couple of years ago? Nowadays she has had some really bad choices. That horrible Pär Engsheden dress at the banns didn't suit her at all, and now this Elie Saab. It isn't her style, there is too much happening at the dress and her shoes are superugly and don't match with the dress at all. I would like to also sometimes see a great updo on her and not always these loose curls. I expected a "wow"-factor from her, but this is far from that.

That dress is great and I love her shoes.
To be frank,I prefer her loose her over Victoria poneytails.
Stepahnie of Luxembourg has worn that dress in another ELIE SAAB -ELIE SAAB HABILLE SAR LA PRINCESSE STEPHANIE, GRANDE-DUCHESSE HÉRITIÈRE DE LUXEMBOURGH
I prefer Madeleine color
We definitely are in each other's heads . . . those accessories, etc. were indeed just wrong! I would love to have seen her wear that dress with her old "Princess" style polish.The dress itself was smashing. It was the way she accessorized it...shoes, jewelry and especially the HAIR were just wrong somehow.
I think she is planning to pull out the stops tomorrow...I might be needing to adjust my Top Five Royal Brides list again !
I agree with soapstar. Madeleine herself looks gorgeous, but I am just not sure about her dress.
It looks like something one would wear to a cocktail party with The Addams Family.
Calm down. Designers are all fawning over the whole fan pleat thing just now. For those of us who have been around a while we cringe at that whole PLEAT-EY thing for the skirt - because we have seen it more than twice, now. It's quite popular for wedding dresses here in the US, if you can believe that.
It will pass. No one wears it the next time it comes into fashion.
When I want to wear pleats - I wear a kilt! But it took me a while to figure that out. Cut the Princess some slack.
