Spanish State Visit to Norway: June 6-8, 2006

[Jackswife]

I'm siding with the ones who found M-M's gala outfit a ! She's a beautiful woman and she can look stunning but that particular ensemble was really unflattering on her. (Thought Martha Louise looked great, very typical of her individual flair and style). Sofia looked fantastic!

Children from seven kindergarten received the two queens with flags and flowers on their arrival. The Spanish king and queen are on a three-day official visit to Norway.

The skirt half of Mette-Marit's outfit at the gala was fine, I am sick of seeing her in dark colours but it was a good shape on her.

The top half was terrible, too big and dark, she has years and years as an older Royal to wear gala outfits that cover her arms and hide her figure. While she is young she should show her body of to its best look.

She has nice broad shoulders and should show them off.

Thanks to all of you for the pics !

In my opinion, Queen Sofia looked neither good nor bad . I always find the way she dresses a little boring ...

Queen Sonja was beautiful, as always, but her gala dress was a bit "too much", I think .

I can't say that Mette-Marit's gala dress was beautiful, but she looked very elegant thouh . And she is a beautiful woman .

As for Märtha-Louise, she was stunning, too, but I was not fond of her hair-do, as always ...

From the wreath ceremony at the national momument at Akershus and the visit to the Dementia research center at Ullevåll univerity hospital, I have never seen any children kiss the Queen on the cheek in Norway, it must be a spanish thing

At the Munch Museum it was planned that they should only see "the Scream" but the Spanish King and Queen wanted to see all the Munch paintings so the program is delayed

I thought "The Scream" was stolen??

 

[Larzen]

Yes it was, and it is still not recovered along with the Madonna, but Edward Munch painted several similar screams, there exists atleast 3 or 4 oil versions, and several drawings of it. The Paintings was stolen from the Munch Museum, they were visiting the NAtional Gallery which has their own Scream

HM Queen Sofia looks stunning in the yellow/gold outfit from this morning. I am trying to understand why Mette Marit wears some much black. I wonder is because its slimming or she thinks it fits her features. I miss the days when she wore lots of color.

 

[tundra]

I agree. If she had worn a bodice like ML's it would have looked a lot better than a blouse/jacket looking top.

The skirt half of Mette-Marit's outfit at the gala was fine, I am sick of seeing her in dark colours but it was a good shape on her.

The top half was terrible, too big and dark, she has years and years as an older Royal to wear gala outfits that cover her arms and hide her figure. While she is young she should show her body of to its best look.

I liked Mette-Marit's outfit for the lunch. The light summer-skirt contrasted a bit with the dark jacket, but as the jacket wasn't overly heavy it was okay.

 

[Her_Majesty]

The Queen's again look faboulous today! Sonja looks really beautiful in blue! and Sofia's wardrobe is simply great!
So lovely to see both Majesty's with the Kids!
Lovely pictures! They both look very cordially.

Wow I have to say I love nearly every outfit worn by the royal ladies (including Mette-Marit's dress at the gala), apart from the bottom half of Sonja's dress at the gala dinner and Sofia's black hat Queen Sofia is one of my favourite royals but I just do not like her in hats at all!
Both Queen's outfits were beautiful at the visit to the university hospital

 

[marilla]

I also liked Mette-Marit's dress. I think black makes a blonde look gorgeous.

I agree with your opinion.

What are the differences between Martha and Mette-Marits orders?
It looks like Princess Astrid has the same as Mette-Marit. Martha's are blue.. is there any difference?

And by the way I really liked Mette-Marits outfit today.

It seems their relationship is very close! Just look at the way Juan Carlos kisses Sofia's hand.

I think all three of the royal ladies look great in these latest pictures. Sofia's suit is especially colorful and "summery". M-M's and Sonja's are both also very neat and elegant. Sonja looks good in dark blue and that particular dress is very flattering for her figure and complexion. Three winners!

I agree with everything you said... but allow me - King Juan Carlos is kissing Queen Sonja ... hope you don't mind the correction

I'm thrilled with this visit, colourful, happy and friendly... and it's wonderful to see Crown Princes present in the events. Not only because I love to see them but because I think with this gesture they make it, even more, a State Visit, indeed.

The second pictures on Princess Mette-Marit Gala dress aren't so bad after all, first ones were taken from below and made her look a litle chubby, but on today pictures one can see she shed some weight recently, in her legs is very noticeable. Good for her!

Thank you all for sharing the reports and pictures.

Wow the NRF really needs a stylist. Maybe they can get a group discount. What is up Sonja's poke a dot dress? It just screams 1980's and MM?? her's isn't that bad but the jacket doesn't look so good, it should be fitted more. I think a nice navy sweater would have gone better with the skirt than the jacket.

Yes of course! I wanted to write Sonja! Those names just sound so similar. I'm sorry.

What is up Sonja's poke a dot dress? It just screams 1980's

I personnaly like it very much, maybe the pattern was very much used on terrible 80's but I like the cut of the suit, and I think the fabrid suits her very well...

Yes of course! I wanted to write Sonja! Those names just sound so similar. I'm sorry.

Its perfectly understandable due to the similarity of names, I hope you didn't mind me correcting .
