Full view of the coat

If memory serves me right, Crown Princess Mette-Marit has Jil Sander beanie with a net. It would have suited the ensemble better.

Not sure but I think you can open up her wardrobe and administer Rorschach tests.

I'll take it a step further. I reckon the lights were out when she got dressed. Otherwise why on earth would she put on those thick stockings and those shoes with that dress?

Over the years of viewing MM and her sense of style........it has remained to be seen that she is in dire need of a serious stylist. It seems there is no thought process to taking care of herself and using clothes to represent her role as a royal in Norway. I think she just does not care how she looks and views the rest of the world with a so what attitude. When she first married PH, I thought she was one very beautiful young lady, now her attitude shows in her clothing choices and it is not good. This outfit is just another example of give a care attitude.JMO

Gosh horror

I do think her clothes sense has got worse since she has got older ..... Nothing matches half the time which is such a shame she is one of my favourite crown princess but I'm finding her slightly sloppy ..... When we do ever see her .... Which is not that often just a shame makes me think she isn't happy for some reason

[MARG]

Well, what on earth can one say? I can get my head around her sub-zero ugly tights . . . just, but then there's those . . . things, kinda spotted, looking really large, ugly shoelike things.

I think she must have seen them, fallen in love with them, bought them and never had a chance to wear them. I mean it's pretty darned hard to find an occasion that they would not look OTT at best or sear the eyeballs at worst. So today they got an outing and if there is any sense in the world, tomorrow or next week they will make splendid and very original herb pots!

Finally!! Very elegant and beautiful the Mette Marit. The dress perfect . I had very long I had to see her so stylish!

[IloveCP]

The white gown is awful to me. I find it odd.

[udyusa]

Stunning!! Clean, simple lines suit M-M so well. The gown is by Valentino and she first wore it in 2008.

[HereditaryPrincess]

I think the see through sleeve and neckline ruin the gown. It's a shame, because the gown would be gorgeous without and MM herself looks nice.

[Roslyn]

I like the a-symmetrical see-through sleeve and general a-symmetrical line of the gown. I think the style flatters MM. It has been influenced by the design of a sari, I think.

I absolutely love the white dress with black accessories. It's the best thing I've seen her wear.

I could not agree with you more. Each dress is quite unique and very elegant. Most of all I am impressed by her hair/dress combinations, they are absolutely on point.

The sleek bob with its centre part beautifully paired with the elegant, almost ethereal deep blue/black gown, the low ponytail with the stunning white dress with it's beautiful lines and surprisingly voluminous skirt, accessorised with a black silk and gold ring embellished headband, slim black belt and black gloves, and finally, the plain low ponytail with the gorgeous, pared down white Valentino gown.

While this year's Nobel attire was definitely an all round winner for Mette-Marit, the pièce de résistance was the gorgeous Valentino evening gown, one of the most elegant evening gowns I think Mette-Marit has ever worn. Her hair was absolutely perfect with that gown as indeed were her earrings.

[SnowBirds]

Very well said, the only thing I did not like was that black/gold headband, the ends hanging down her back looked like a leftover thought on using it. If the ends had been tucked in the nape of her neck and not show, then I think it would of been a very cohesive look for her. I love that white one sleeve gown, just gorgeous on her, the straight clean lines, the color, and her hair tonight looked healthy for a change. Tonight was a winner, a long time coming!

Looking great !

[Florestane]

She looks fabulous!

[bertie5252003]

I love the gown she looks just so chic and her hair is perfect love it

[MARG]

I would have to agree. I like the casual elegance of her tiara hairstyle and the gown is quite amazing. Am I the only one wondering why she seems to be favouring pared down white evening gowns lately?

I'm not complaining (heaven forfend yet another LHOTP gown appear), just curious.
