[paca]

I wondered that too. I accidentely looked ealier in the thread at a pic that was exactly the same as as this years. I thought I got the pics mixed up or sth, for I couldn't believe that she would wear exactly the same dress with the same hairdo every year. Talk about traditions . Nothing aainst recycling, those dresses are expensive and it would be a shame to wear them only once, but there are ways to alter a dress slightly (I think the Queen has this done very often) etc. Besides it seems to be sth like top and skirt, so she could have easily worn a different top or sth. Seeing her like this again feels a bit like the movie groundhog day. Or maybe now that she is a divorcee she wants to demonstrate that she hasn't got the money to efford a new robe every year
