And about the golden pumps - yes they are really squeezing her feet. They look all white in several places. I hope she did not have to wear them for too long. They are nice, but look very painful.

Exactly! It seems like she wears her hair in a ponytail in 99% of the photos we have seen of her. She has very nice bone structure in her face, and she can definitely pull it off, but it would be nice to see her in a variety of hairstyles.

I like Princess Victoria. Her devotion and dedication to becoming a Queen and a proven leader for the country of Sweden impresses me through and through. If anything I can tell from watching her career at hand is that she perseveres and works towards representing a reliable and loyal servant for the people. Here and there I find that she goes over the limit to capture the expectation of one who is to be believed in and given faith to.
I think her sense of fashion and familiar ponytail sometimes can be seemingly a tangent of her candor which has impressed me yet has left me to wonder if she likes waiting for a later time to show her better. It's a guess and I think so because maybe she has a regard and special design in thought to display a marvelous appearance maybe when she is married and in attest of being in love. Call me a romantic but I fantasize and coin her as such.
I regard her and her siblings and parents with a discerned interest because I love and have loved Sweden for since I was a child. I think and so have other people I have known, thought that the Swedish are truly a beautiful people. So I'm a fan. As I guess I'm a fan of the world at large. But I do feel Victoria is to surprise us upon nearing the throne and we will be driven by an experienced and well taught leader for the Twenty-First Century. I have that much faith in her. I just can't wait to see if she'll marry soon. I wish her the best. I hope her well meaning intentions earn the trust and love of her people. I hope it shows.

This is one of my all-time favourites of hers, so I'm pleased to see her recycling it.

The pics of this outfit are less clear, but it seems to work for what she is doing.
The shoes are nice comfortable-looking flats, which I think is good, especially given how long this visit is.

October 17th:

I think that one of the predominant fashion trends during the trip has already been revealed: Floaty skirt and a pretty top.

I quite like this combination. The bow on the jacket is nice - it softens the jacket, somehow making it a better match for the soft, floaty skirt (which I like too).
The picture doesnt show the shoes well, but I think that they look nice too.

(You're welcome sgl )

Her clothes on this trip certainly fit the country she is visiting, they all have a bit of an "Indian" look to them.

I really like the floaty skirt. It is so pretty. She has made some very nice fashion choices on this trip.

I like this outfit, and no ponytail, a big plus for me!

I think she looks great. The outfit is a bit of a surprise for me - it doesnt seem to follow the skirt & top theme, but the white pants look great on her and the detailing in the top (sequins) works wonders for the outfit.
And yes, the lack of ponytail is great too!

This outfit is so chic. I really like the black/white combination on Victoria. It is different from the other outfits we have seen her in on this trip, but it is so pretty.

I think she looks absolutely gorgeous.
The turquiose it great, and the white the perfect complement.
The shoes are nice too.

Why, oh why? Just when she turns out in elegance and style and we all breath a heartfelt sigh of relief and envy, the next event she's scraped her hair back in a ponytail worthy of a 12 year old!

What is with this woman? It is almost as if she is afraid to show the world that she is intelligent, educated, polished, and diplomatic. Every time she wows the critics (or maybe just us on this thread) she metaphorically runs back to mummy, pulls her hair into a little-girl ponytail (believe me guys, there are actually casually chic ponytails) and dresses like a middle aged matron.

I admit it. I am confounded. Any ideas?

It's not that bad. But maybe her 'wow-ness' can only come out in short burst? And didn't some one say that the pink and black outfit was to younger for her, now she dresses to old? It might be that because shes the heir, rather then just married to it that she has to dress more conservative. Over the past 30 years it must have been drilled into her head that she must always be appropriate and well mannered, so the end result is the way she dresses now.

Crown Princess Victoria made today a visit to Gandhi National Memorial Society at Agakhan Palace in Pune.

I don´t know what to say about her outfit... Although I admire Victoria very much, I´m wondering why she acts and dresses like she is 21 years old, not 31. She looks like she is still mother´s little girl, not the future queen.

I do not see anything 21ish in Victoria outfit. Its lovely.
Some people here think that she dresses like her mother and some like a girl.

I do like her style.

I don't think it is that bad. I like the collar of the jacket, and the design is nice.

I think most of the time she alternates between the two extremes ....
Maybe a new, fresh hair-do (why not for a change cut the hair, maybe as short a CP Mary did during her pregnancy with Isabella) will do something for her?
IMO she needs to be more of a stand-alone person, not only mummys little girl. But maybe the current image is what the swedish court wants to show us?
