I've never seen Mette-Marit look so good! Both at the Welcoming Ceremony and the Gala. Does she have a new stylist?

And...
I don't mean to offend nor speculate, but do I spy a " baby bump"?
Or is she just heavy-set?

Queen Sonja looked absolutely gorgeous at the gala dinner in her jade green chiffon gown. As for Mette-Marit, what can be said except for utmost class and sophistication. I just loved her cream "trench coat" styled jacket with contrasting black feather fascinator. So totally chic. Her ivory gown for the gala dinner was soft, serene and elegant. Nothing was over the top. Nothing was overdone. Just absolute grace and glamor. Norway can be so proud of their royal ladies.They were simply immaculate. This is true royalty at it's best.

A "frump" ?! I´m asking the administrator to step in against your rude and offensive words!

 Dramatic much..
Mette-Marit isn't a frump, but the way she sometimes chooses to dress would indicate otherwise, imo.
No one has ever been reprimanded, to my knowledge, for using such a word before, and I'd be astonished if they were now. Compared to what a good many people say about various other royals, my use of language is incredibly tame!
To suggest someone wears what appear to be dowdy and at times, old fashioned clothes which don't suit them, is hardly an offence :)
