After VG wrothe that she used the design by Arne & Carlos this is what could possible be their designs by looking at thier website, the websit is flash so I cant attach the pictures

http://www.arne-carlos.com/

The green skirt for a wedding is featured on their site in a slightly different colour its from their fall 2004 collection however Mette-Marit wore it in summer 2002

White Skirt and top used in Thailand they have a very similar skirt in their Spring Summer collection. Norwegian Tique also writes that this is Arne & Carlos

Thanks Larzen. Is this the skirt you mean (the white one)? I can't find the green one.

Yes , Thank you, the skirt is the 2. picture in the fall winter 2004 collection, it is more blue than the one MM is wearing, it looks a little different when the model stand stills and in the pictures of MM walking.

VG today has an article about the woman that now is responsible for helping Mette-Marit with her wardrobe. Her name is Petra Middelthon 33 (3. picture)and she works as a fashion editor in Norwegian Tique. She was responsible for putting together Mette-Marits wardrobe in Thailand and Malawi, she has worked for Mette-Marit since late summer 2004, she still works in Tique so I guess this is just a part time thing. Middeltthon is from Kristiansand, where MM also grew up and they have according to VG known each other for long time

VG also writes that the Norwegian design duo Arne & Carlos are good friends of Petra Middelthon and that Mette-Marit has started to use more clothes from them. Middelthon will not make any comment to VG, nor will her boss in Tique.

According to VG this white skirt is by Arne & Carlos

Today VG has also chosen the most well dressed women in Norway. As usual the pop artist Bertine Zetlitz won, Mette-Marit came 4th which is her highest place on the annual list ever, last year she was nr 9. Princess Märtha Louise came as nr 11, she was nr 7 last year, very serious thing this list....

According to VG Petra Middelthon chose this black dress for Mette-Marit for the opening of the Queen Maud exhibition. This dress is also supposed to be by Arne & Carlos

This blue dress with white buttons is from Arne & Carlos.Used on arrival in Poland

http://www.arne-carlos.com/

Pictures from isifa.com



This beige all-weather jacket is from fjällräven, a swedish brand for out door clothes, very popular in Norway.
http://www.fjallraven.se/
Haakons colourful jacket is from Helly Hansen http://www.hellyhansen.com/
Picture from cover.es


The flower on Mette-Marits dress is by designer and stylist Tommy Løland, according to "se og Hør" Mette-Marit uses his accessories quite often.(corbis)

The dress for Oslo fashion week is made by a Norwegian designer as she confirmed it when asket about it. Im 99 % sure the dress is from Arne & Carlos as their newest collection features the wrinkled details the dress has on the waist on almost all their clothes. http://www.arne-carlos.com/ I dont like it very much but atleast the colour is nice. (colourpress)

This skirt is from Matthew Williamson, Princess Astrid of Belgium used a dress from his collection for the Greek state visit (fotobank and vogue.com)

I do hope we'll see her in beautiful, well-coordinated outfits once more. At the moment (see Bakerud) she seems to choose the things she throws on blindfolded.
(It's not that I don't sympathise - I can understand she'd rather stay at home in bed; but she can look a lot better if she makes some effort.)

I agree, it does take some effort to look good all the time (but then I don't think any of us have been able to achieve looking good all the time, not even royalty!), but if Mette-Marit had a stylist to advise her, maybe that stylist could make some decisions for her now that she has more important things on her mind.

It isn't easy looking stylish and being comfortable when pregnant, but there are some great designers who design beautiful and practical maternity wear, especially in Europe.

Maybe she will look to them as her pregnancy progresses?
:) :)
