I'm not surprised that she won't be attending. High heels and a long gown, along with being on your feet for a long time are probably not the best idea after a concussion. Hopefully she can get some rest and be back at full strength quickly!
 
That is unfortunate that she won't be able to attend. I was looking forward to seeing her with her husband. I am sure that she needs her rest, though.
 
Queen Sonya's dress doesn't really suit her shape at all. Princess Astrid does look lovely. Am I the only one who thinks Haakon looks very tired?
 
Poor Queen Sonya needs some new gala dresses -
 
Tonight the Queen recycles a 100 years old dress :cry: (that makes her hips look giantly.. that dress is just simply ugly :D. I even like the yellow one better :D ) and wears the beautiful Pearl Tiara.
Astrid is dressed in white. The dress looks fine on her.

:lol: No more comments on Queen Sonja's old and the many recycled dresses. Princess Astrid's dress is fine yes, but it looks very similar to the one she wore last year on the same occasion ;):- (Try finding the 5 differences :whistling:)
From side2.no:- 80-talls party på slottet? - Side2 (scroll down to the gallery from last year)
and Må droppe kveldens stortingsmiddage - Mette-Marit sykmeldt i to uker - Kongelig - klikk.no. But the colour and the cut do suit her a lot. (article from klikk.no).

A gallery of this year's gala if you scroll down, from side2.no :- Se, de har pynta seg! - Side2 and another from r-a.no:- http://www.r-a.no/anb_bildeserier/article3873878.ece

I can't watch the video because it is in the Silverlight format (I have a Mac). Is there another way I can watch it?

It looks cozy and warm, almost romantic.

HM the Queen looked sensational. The very embodiment of her position.

The choice of jewellery intergrated so very well with the style of evening dress, and I especially admired the use of the malteser cross as a brooch.

I do wish the Crown Princess would wear the Vifte necklace in it's alternative tiara form. She looked lovely though. Quite lovely.
 
Its amazing how a 10 yearor so gown can still look pretty. Love the Queen tiara.
Loved also MM's overall look, she looked really pretty.
Thank you for the pictures.
Pity Martha & Ari arent there.
 
Queen Sonja's dress is awful! For God's sake!

MM looks good, but I think she should wear a necklace.
 
Well,I like the dress. Imo it really belongs to Sonja's better dresses.
 
I liked Sonajs dress for being 10 years old it's beautiful!
