Smart but not formal, casual but not sloppy (or trashy). As for old . . . . . I wish I had looked half as well at her age.

I think CP Mary has mastered the art of matching her style to the occasion.

I don't know how this grey/silver dress look withiut sweater. Maybe it's nice but Mary shouldn't wore it after so long trip. (And don't forgert about lights.) She should wore something more colourful. Maybe this dress from opening ceremony would be better than this outfit...
About old I was thinking about second photo of Mary royals.web-log.nl: Prins Felipe & Prinses Letizia en Prinses Mary & Prins Frederik bij de Olympics in Beijing.
You're right have her figure when I'll be on her age.

I really like it too. I think that it is a nice femine summer dress, and it really flatters her.

But I'm not too sure about what I've seen of her dress for the opening ceremony (though I'm the first to admit I haven't seen all the dress, just to about her knees in a relatively blurry pic)

Mary has a personal stylist, her outfits should be better by far. Most of her outfits are very average, you don't have to have a stylist to look like that.But most of the time her hair and make-up is well done , and she learnt to walk and stand very straight, so her whole look is okay and appropriate.But she definetly hasn't got Maximas or Letizias charisma...

I guess this is about personally taste. I really love the dress. It is daring and creative in its mix of coloures.

It looks little Asian to me. Maybe it looks not quite good because of the lights.

I couldn't say I like the dress! Too many colours mixed up! I also don't like the cut! And anyway if she wanted to wear something a bit ''chinese'' she could have gone for something simpler!

For example a dress like the one Letizia wore (the white one with the flowers and the thin red belt)! I thought it was very nice! And much more lady like and elegant!

Mary has such nice clothes why did she had to wear that?

But I also have to agree that maybe it's the picture or the lights that make us see the dress differently! I hope we get to see some better pictures!

Off topic I know, but either Frederik has gained weight or he should have a word with his tailor. His suits no longer seem to fit him.

Mary looks beautiful. I love the dress she wore to the Ballet and her shoes at the embassy are just wonderful.

Her dress at the ballet was so pretty. It is very soft and feminine.

I think all of the dresses at the games have been pretty and appropriate for the occasion. My favorite has to be the dress for the ballet. Very pretty!

The first dress in that photo series does nothing for her figure. If anything it makes her look like she has no waist hence a boy's figure. The black dress is lovely, but the shiney ensemble is blah.

I have to agree with you, the first dress is beautiful, but she looks like a board, no curves, kind of flat. I like the black dress. As far as the silver one goes, I will have to have a closer look but as of now, it doesn't do much for me.

Funny (and good) how differently people perceive ...

I really liked the coloured asian style dress and thought the black one at the embassy was a shapeless potatoesack and the silvery one at the ballet was one of her best ever
