The coat is nice, but she has to get rid of the scarf. The outfit itself is boring and meant for a much older woman.

Once again her scarf hides her jacket, which is a shame

I really like that shadd of grey-blue on Stephanie, and think that the style of the outfit is nice. She looks appropriate. The way that scarf is hanging hides the top of the said outfit, and that is the only complaint that I've got.

[Prinsessan]

I think the outfit itself looks nice, but WHY on earth did she not take off the scarf inside? It really ruins everything.

[IloveCP]

The outfit is nice but for an older woman. I agree that she should have taken off the scarf.

I am in the minority, this is one occasion where I love the scarf and think it adds to the elegance of the entire look. I much prefer Stephanie's church ceremony outfit to Claire's getup, in fact.

As for her civil ceremony suit, Stephanie needs to have her skirts and dresses tailored so that her hemline falls evenly. This is a consistent problem that I notice when she wears a skirt.

The coat is beautiful but too shiny, and the scarf ruins it even more. I don't like her hat. And why both outfits are grey/silver?

I agree, Moonmaiden. Stephanie needs to have her hems done correctly. Uneven. I like her in the dark coat she wore to the civil ceremony. She looks unpretentious. I think she does not think a lot about clothing. But she always looks appropriate. If she wanted to look dramatic she should wear the dark green or dark purple she wore in outfits prior to her own wedding, but I think she may have not wanted to upstage the bride here. But what do I know about that?

[IloveCP]

Not a fan of the outfit at the wedding. I don't like the print and I think it ages her. Not fond of the hat either.

Stephanie's adorable, I love her. She looked fresh and pretty at the civil service without the coat, and elegant at the Basilica imo.

I do wish she cared more about clothes because I care about fashion! But you are totally correct-as conservative as her outfits are they are never inappropriate and never, ever vulgar. She looks exactly like what she is, a young noblewoman who will someday be Grand Duchess of Luxembourg.

If I want to get my fashionista fix there are half dozen other princesses in Europe I can check out.

Stephanie hit it out of the park on the one day that everyone will remember, which was her wedding day. She was the most beautiful Royal bride of her generation, imo.

[Queen Christina]

Stephanie is such a pretty lady, with a very sweet and gentle air about her. Her clothing choices are always appropriate, but a bit boring and "old" for her age. I wish she would take a few risks. The scarves are becoming a habit, aren't they?

[princess gertrude]

Not a huge fan of the hat, but the coat is lovely. She looks very nice.

I think Stephanie wanted to stay warm too which could be the reason for the scarves. It does look chilly. I think she's the kind of woman who puts her comfort before fashion. I thought she looked beautiful at both appearances.

I thought that because others are wrapped up as well. MAybe she needs furs like her mother in law

[Daria_S]

I love the silver coat, and I do love the fact that in the second picture she removed the scarf.

[Baroness of Books]

She seems quite sweet and lovely, but I think she dresses too old for her age.

[dazzling]

Stephanie's look would've been a winner if she wore younger looking heels and a younger styled clutch. The bag and heels ruined the whole look. The coat fitted great and the hat is nice and she wore it well.

[fandesacs2003]

I love how she dresses. It is not a very youthfull style but it is elegant, tastefull and appropriate to her rank.

As I love scarfs myself, I like the fact that Stéphanie also seems to love them.

I thought this as well. But don't forget, she is the youngest in a much older family, and her mother was older that I'm sure our mothers were. She was probably taught/brought up to dress by the standards her mother felt were appropriate for their position in society.
