I think the dress is horrid. I like the color but the I hate the details on the dress. It's too much. Though, I love her hairstyle.

I'm in the minority but I really like this outfit. Its different but to me it works. Much better than the frumpy stuff of recent times. I think Victoria looks great, for once nice hair & great shoes.

I like the outfit too, it feels young and fresh and I love the rabbits  I would have liked it even more if the lowest fringe had been black and not red.

It's an OK look, but nothing to write home about. The big bow on the blouse is not to my liking, however.

Back to the scraped back ponytail unfortunately. I also dislike the black trousers, I really hate black trousers that are a bit shiny, it makes the material look really cheap.
Victoria's hair was lovely yesterday, I just don't know why she only wears it down every few years or so.

Back to the basics, once again. Usually you can't go wrong with black and white but this look just leaves me bored. Beribboned blouse, shiny black pants, ponytail, and those awful sandals. Nothing special going on here...

Well, when it comes to everyday fashion, Victoria has more in common with Angela Merkel and Hillary Clinton (clothes should be practical) than the duchess of Cambridge and crown princess Mary of Denmark (clothes should be fashionable), or for that matter any crown prince in the world, they are not judged by what they wear but by what they do.

Totally agree. When she wears her hair down like that it softens her
features, especially her strong jaw.
Why oh why does she want to pull her hair back and so tightly.
Her and Daniel look like twins!

She probably finds it the most practical way to wear her hair, it won't get in the way and she doesn't have to worry that it will look untidy. I don't think that Victoria is the kind of woman who wants to spend more time than necessary in front of a mirror when getting ready for everyday appointments.

I liked the white blouse but not the pants. As for the ponytail, I can't imagine Victoria in "normal duties" without it, it's just her. IMO it suits her. I can't imagine her every day with her hair down around her face, I get the impression that it disturbing her in every day duties and I can understand that. Every woman has different hair, we can't compare Victoria with Mary or other princesses.
Victoria last evening at the Junior Water Prize:

Lovely blue shade, which suits her very well. The blouse a little casual, I like it still. I like also the skirt, but they aren't the best combination together. She looks very radiant and happy

Actually I think we can compare the princesses hair, so long as we look at them individually. Mary mostly has hair down when working days, Victoria invariably has hers in a ponytail. Both tend to rock the updo's after 5pm, although Victoria has the edge having more experience and having the mother of all up doers, Queen Sylvia, as her mum doesn't hurt. Catherine just has hair, day or night! 
Victoria" outfit at the Junior Water Prize is fresh and in a flattering colour and, much as I hate to admit it, she has such nice legs she makes those "internal" platform shoes look almost dainty!

The black & white outfit is safe but dull, the blouse is pretty, the pants are too tight and the return of the ponytail, ick.
The blue outfit is a mess to me, I like the skirt but not with the blouse sloppily tucked in, and those massive platform shoes are plain ugly. Does Victoria now get all the shoes from Letizia she wore 2 years ago?

Agree that the black and white outfit is nothing special, but not terrible either...
The blue outfit from last night is very nice IMO, except those terrible shoes! But the colour is great and I don't even mind her ponytail, she looks very fresh and young.

The yellow outfit, her hair should've been styled differently IMO.
