Queen Margrethe II's Fashion and Style Part 1: April 2009 - May 2012

[NoorMeansLight]

One could say this dress was made by a huge spider, but by Margrethe's standards it must be one of her best. The jewels match the dark yellow teeth perfectly, the dress not so much I'm afraid.

I believe the same dress, with the same poppies, http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=31109&d=1071376973

 

[Patra]

Ughh! Two thumbs waaaaaaaaaaaay down, IMO.

 

[Boris]

It's unfortunate that she chose to repeat an already too frequently worn dress from 1997 on this occasion, and in addition a design which is not too flattering.
I'm quite certain that the lace overlay is actually exquisite material, but it photographs badly.

 

[Baroness of Books]

I don't like this at all and the necklace was unnecessary with the high neckline.

 

[Duke of Marmalade]

Royal dominatix comes to my mind, honestly, its so ugly, I appreciate that Margrethe is quite special in her choices but she can do so much better.

 

[Danish girl]

Sorry my Queen, but I hate it. The dress & the jewels.

Is it New Year soon?

Queen Margrethe in Rome today, April 11, wearing a nice dress with a matching scarf
- the original colour is the one on the first two pics, it looks different on pic 3 as to
the light conditions:

What a gorgeous purple and I love even more the beautiful pashmina, the colors go so well with the dress. Now this is how you accessorize! The dress is simple in design, but the color is so stunning. One of the better day looks for Daisy I've seen in a long time. Thank you, Iceflower.

You are most welcome, Baroness of Books!


Day 2, April 12, in Rome and a red combination for Queen Margrethe. A strong colour for a strong woman
I only dislike the collar and would have preferred a black or white top underneath the jacket:

I like the colour on the Queen - I believe she's another Ram that can wear red well - but the jacket has an odd shape in general.

 

[Lady Felicity M]

It makes her look very fat and rounded

 

[EIIR]

That's just not flattering. The colour's great, but it adds bulk to Margrethe's figure that's not really there.

I also wish she wouldn't pull her hair back quite so tight.

Queen Margrethe at an exhibition opening in Rome today, April 13, wearing a combination in light
colours she has worn several times before - I still like it on her:

Much nicer look this time.

Is this a new outfit?
Its one of her worst looks. Its quite unflattering & the tailoring is really poor.

 

[Baroness of Books]

I don't like the high pointed collar, though the red looks great on her. The jacket around her hip area doesn't fit well, either.

I agree it's not the most flattering look on Queen Margrethe, but I do love the colour.
The outfit is not new; the Queen has worn it on a number of occasions over the years. One of the occasions the Queen wore this red ensemble was during the Opening Ceremony of the 121st IOC Session at the Copenhagen Opera House on October 1, 2009.

Queen Margrethe wore a grey suit for today's Lunch with Monarchs.
The outfit is nice but I rather dislike the tights.

I thought Queen Margrethe was uncharacteristically subdued in her choice of clothing for the lunch today.

 

[NGalitzine]

As long as the golden poppies dont show up she can wear whatever she wants.

 

[princess gertrude]

Not a great look. Gray suit and gray hair are not a good combo on her. And I have to agree about the poppies, please don't let them show up.

 

[Baroness of Books]

She might be saving the poppies for tonight's dinner in some variation or another, so we can't breathe easy yet! And I'm not enthused about the choice of color or the fit of her outfit; she looked washed out.

 

[Dierna23]

I dislike the tights too and grey is not her color. This outfit is rather a flop for me (hopefully something brighter tonight).

 

[dbarn67]

Too shiny and too close a match to Prince Henrik.

 

[IloveCP]

Very dull oufit. Hate it even more with the tights.

A lovely dress.
I'm pretty sure I've seen it before at a royal wedding.

 

[iceflower]

Yes, exactly. The wedding of Princess Nathalie zu Sayn-Wittgestein-Berleburg in June 2011 and another Danish wedding in
September 2011 have been two occasions she wore the dress at, you can find them on the previous pages of this thread.

That'd be it; I've been looking through Princess Nathalie's wedding pictures just the other day.
Thanks a lot for the information, iceflower!
