The Dress for the prewedding festivities is be by Miguel Palacio (credit LULA), I like it very much, especially the spanish looking shawl looks very beautiful with it.

The red dress and green jacket is from Jesus del Pozo, it looks to big one her (I belive she has worn it before) Again beautiful hair and jewellery

The only thing that I consistently like about the Infant on these photos is her hair , hat, and make up. I love the rich jewel tone color of the green dress, but the skirt of the dress is simply awful. It looked to scrunched up and reminded mr of trash bags. The wedding outfit is the one that I like best, I even like her hat. The shawl for the black dress is nice, but the dress itself with its various cuts and slits looks very risque (which is something I don't usually associate with Cristina). I thought the outfit at the Danish wedding looked like it was all a size too big, the dress and the jacket could've been more tailored to fit her body, I also don't care for the color combination.

I have read both Jesus del Pozo and Lorezo Caprile has signed this dress, hopefully someone can confirm, usually Caprile shows more clevage on his evening wear

With the minor exception of that lavender purse, Infant Cristina looks impeccable in the first two photos. Again I think she looks great in those rich jewel tones, and her hair and make up is perfect as usual. I strangely like the simplicity of the dress in the third photo.

I loved that one too. I guess it's my favourite of her. Very Spanish indeed... and elegant I must say.

This evening outfit she took to last year's edition of the Telva Fashion Awards was made by Lorenzo Caprile. I think she looked breathtakingly beautiful... perhaps a bit Hollywood-like, but I think it suited such a fashionable event. Here in the photo, we can see Caprile accompanying her.

I have always liked Crisitna and she just seems to get more and more beautiful with age, just like some of the other born Princesses like Astrid in Belgium and Märtha Louise in Norway. Earlier they all seemde like they were...erhm..dressing like (or should I say dressed by ) their mothers. But as they have gotten married and had children maybe they have become more comftarble in a role which requires more formal and different clothes than what their friends wore when they were younger and also more sure of them selves. They are all also thinner than what they were before they had their first children, usually its the other way around.

Sofia, Elena and Cristina have a simple but very tasteful sense of fashion which shows on their dress choices...
The Telva awards outfit looked smashing on Cristina, very sexy (and she's 40 with 4 kids, what's the secret? ), I think she went there because she's kind of a muse for Caprile (he once said the most important thing he's ever done is her wedding dress).

On the other hand you all are forgetting one of the most important Royal designers in Spain: Manuel Pertegaz, he designed Letizia's wedding dress and is reportedly one of Queen Sofía's favourites....

Is the embroidery in this dress the fleur de lys, the symbol of the Borbon house? if it is, what a tribute to her dynasty and family!:)

[crisiñaki]

Since I cannot edit my last post (I hate IE, from now on it's just FireFox for me )
I wanted to ask another question: in the last picture, Iñaki's tie match Cristina's embroidery?
Thanks a lot!:p

Anyone knows who designed the dress Infanta Cristina wore to the Easter Mass in Palma de Mallorca?

I don't think Letizia's clothes are cheap, they are quite expensive (at least i read that many times!)
About Cristina, i think she is ok... maybe the outfit is too "different" for the ocasion.
About Elena and the Queen i agree!!

[CRIS]

quite expensive? I do not think this. Where you have read that the clothes of letizia are too expensive? For the acts that she has, and what repeats; and if also we say that almost never uses foreign clothes.

And on which Letizia does not use foreign clothes, because you remember what they criticized to her by armani? then you have the answer there. And to the queen and the infant never they have criticized them for that reason, so they if wear foreign clothes.

I read she spends lot of money in clothes, in some portuguese magazines... and i think she was critized for that!
And yes i remember she was critized for using Armani.
By the way, isn't very usual see the Queen using foreign clothes... she likes very much clothes of Margarita Nuez adn Manuel Pertegaz! The same doensn't happen with Elena, who likes very much Chanel! :)

[CRIS]

It criticizes peñafiel and the magazines create to him, the expert in everything. But everything what the magazines say, is not truth; and seeing that she repeats clothes and does not use foreign clothes.

And mainly if we watched all the acts that she has; it would be impossible that she did not spend money.

The fact she don't wear foreign clothes, doesn't mean that the clothes she buy aren't expensive. If you want i will send you the article... or i can post here

[rchainho]

please, post here so i can read it ok?

it wasn't in a all royal family event that the queen and a guest appear with the same outfit? That outfit that i'm talking about, that i don't remember what, it was from a foreign stylist.

Ok i will post here.
It was in Octobre 12 of 2004. The Queen had an outfit of......... I don't remeber.. :p

[CRIS]

It is not necessary; I have already said that everything what the magazines say does not mean that it is truth. I have never said that her clothes are cheap; but they are not too expensive either.

And according to, the foreign clothes are much more expensive. And on spending too much in clothes? then when she takes all the foreign clothes and do not repeat much; then will be possible to be said that she spends much in clothes. In addition mainly watching all the acts that she has; then we cannot either say to her that spends little; then that would be put and whatever would repeat?

The Queen wore the Grey Escada suit with lace details, would have looked stunning on Leti

You just have to look at the clothes of Elena and compare with Letizia, Elenas clothes are of the highest quality, the faricks are exclusive, the details are beautiful and interesting, the cut is impeccable, and then Letizia next to her, the fabric looks cheap, the cut is unflattering, no details. and lets not even start with the purses....and this is everytime I see them togehter. Penafiel and his likes will always critisise, Letizia should be able to wear clothes fitting for a Princess of asturias and not clothes that look like they come from Zara. Nice clothes can also be repeated.
