"The shoes and blouse are beautiful; the cardigan and pants also look good... but the problem is she combined all of them together then I don't think that assemble matchs together (look little bit strange beetween the blouse and cardigan and the shoes colour doesn't match with all attire)"

agreed....she has a habit of mismatching what she wears

I think the outfit matches. I like it :)

Actually I think that makes her pretty :)

Let her be who she is.

i like her outfit not her best but suitable for her condition =) she's so lucky - she's one of those lucky women who don't become all bloated and chubby with pregnancy

[oskana]

raising her chin up all the time to me makes her ugly...(even blood royals dont raise their chin up as much as mary does)....doing that she acts as though she is a stuck up, pretentious, entitled, snob,... if thats who she really is then by all means i hope she keeps raising her chin up so we could see her true colors

That's a particularly nasty comment.

She may be stuck up or she may be still nervous with her first pregnancy and the new role.

I do wish she wouldn't wear coats that button right above her belly. It makes the belly appear to stick out more than it would otherwise.

well its better to have your chin up rather than having it down. Would you want your Crown Princess to look down all the time as if shes scared? With the chin up, it looks brave and confident. Thats just my opinion :)

[Jasl]

Its just a mannerism that she has. She certainly doesn't do it all the time either - perhaps its because of upturned nose that makes her seem like she does it all the time.

I also can't help but think that its poor form to judge a person based on their looks. The meekest and most approachable looking person might have the nastiest personality, with a hidden agenda etc... you know what I mean?

[Australian]

Jasl i know exactly what you mean. Your absolutely right

[Roshanah]

That Makes two of us!:) :) :)

i remember seeing CP Fred's and Mary's wedding on CNN with my brother, who knows zilch about royalty btw, and he asked me if the bride was the princess marrying the commoner because she looks so much more regal than the boyish groom (whom, he said, looked like a cross between hugh grant and jason mraz)!
that's part of what i like about mary...the way she looks like she was born into royalty, making her perfect for the job of future queen! in her job it's important to have that kind of confidence or else, she'd end up with an eating disorder!
if only women everywhere would have such confidence and feel like they're royalty everyday...

[Anita]

To me, being royal and looking regal does not necessarily mean looking snob and pretentious ...sorry ...:)

exactly...there are plenty of royals who exume confidence and pride without looking pretentious and snobish. I did not realize looking like a royal meant looking like a snob, excuse me my mistake. My fav royals (and commoners married into royal family) are actually those that have confidence without the appearance of entitlement/superiority of some sort.

Its interesting how ppl can view one thing and have very different perspectives. I could see how you might view it that way. To me she doesnt look brave and confident but rather insecure. Raising her chin is overdoing it IMO. I feel like she raises her her chin to hide something she lacks in.

I don't think I could possible disagree with you more. The Crown Princess doesn't "raise" her chin anymore so than she lowers it in those pictures. When most people look up at something their chins (noses, and eyes of course) are naturally raised. So why is Mary specifically singled out for this?

In the beginning I would say that Mary was a bit nervous and quite possibly a bit insecure with her (future) role and the spotlight. She at times looked very nervous and tense when out in public. Now however, she exudes confidence when meeting people and making speeches for instance as a result of becoming more acclimated with her role.
