It's a difficult one because they're all rather crazy [...] !
I actually like the green outfit worn by Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser al-Missned!

^^^^^^^^^^^
Your not suppose to say who you voted for.
It's so difficult to choose though. When the polls closed I will put them in my own order.

When I got to Mabel I thought it was in the bag, then I saw Sonja and it went no where good from there. So very difficult to choose....

Caroline made a huge fashion faux pa with that little number. Apart from the fact that it was an incredibly ugly outfit there was a little too much boob showing  It was even worse than Mabels wedding outfit and that is saying something.

LOL, Sonja looks like she escaped from the circus, and Caroline looks like a bird that has been plucked in all the wrong places, I'm dying here. QM2 is somewhere in the rainbow and she just blinded me with all that yellow.
Sofia is kind of funny and I'm going hang Claire in some chateau in Provence where she belongs. The green outfit reminds of a Jim Carey movie, can't remember the name now. Queen Raina and Sylvia's outfit are ugly but should not be on this list, I think. Princess Aya is again not that bad.
Luckily for Mabel, the color of her get up saved her in this contest, she actually wasn't that bad if you're not factoring that she showed up at a state wedding. Who did I vote for? I don't know, they all look nuts.

Remember, do not say who you voted for until after the poll is closed.
I'm glad you like the choices- the PoM committees did a great job once again!
For more crazy outfits, check out this thread.

This one was quite hard...All outfits were pretty crazy for me. I was supposed to pick the craziest of them...and I did it, or I think that I did it. It was sad to me to accept this woman was so badly dressed, since I generally like her attitude facing life. But she must have been really crazy when she choiced to wear that awful thing over her .

Must be honest some royal houses have some outfits which are not near to even being called craziest outfit since they are quite pretty and wearable and on the other hand there are some really out of this world outfits like Carolines, Mabels and that print on Lalla Salmas coat/dress if you can tell what it is not to mention QM's bright yellow number.
Its hard to choose now.

I just want to say that I feel so sorry for bashing Mabel last month.  Apparently, there's much worse... That was so much fun, guys! Thanks!

Sheikha Mozah's outfit is rather stylish...maybe if it was a different colour.
Princess Caroline's is absolutely hideous.
I'm still puzzled about Mabel's. Why would anyone wear something like that to the wedding of a Crown Princess is beyond me. Didn't she feel under dressed among all those splendid gowns?

I think Mabel dress was beautiful and looked good on her, but it wasn't appropriate for a crown princess wedding. And there are a lot of chest being shown.

What a brilliant poll -I've had a good chuckle. I think you should name & shame the designers too. I do agree with Cristine's point about whether an outfit is suitable for the occasion should perhaps come into play when voting - after all they can't all have been attending fancy dress parades can they?

You know...After seeing that thing Mabel wore to Victoria's wedding last month, I believed that was the worst outift I'd ever seen on a Royal Lady.
I was wrong.
The sad thing...I'm sure all of them looked at themselves in the mirror before heading out and thought, "I look amazing tonight!!"
Oh and did Princess Claire pull a Maria from The Sound of Music and use discarded curtains from somewhere for that get up she's wearing in that picture!?! It sure looks like it.

Some very good reinforcement that couture looks great on a runway, but not so great in real life!
