Old Fashion Discussion Part 1

[greenways]

The outfit Mary wore to Fred's 40th is one of my very favourite's on Mary. Love it, love it, love it. As for the latest all black, Mary seems to be trying the fashion length for dresses, great legs,just maybe not on a princess in the evening.

For whatever reason, when I click on the links to see Victoria's version of the same dress Mary wore, the picture won't come up. Anyone else have that problem?

[Terri Terri]

Thanks ayvee! I like both versions of the dress!

 

[Quathae]

Thanks Ayvee. I love seeing both versions of the dress. I still think Mary's coral pink one is my favorite, but they both are really pretty.

[bertie5252003]

I really like the current gown is it red or a burgundy i guess it doesn't really matter. I think it is a good sort of evening gown on her and for her style. She has the tendency to wear something really lovely and then drown it in costume jewels and it looks so completely crowded as in the orange gown you posted stephanievl [thanks for all those] a gorgeous gown ruined IMO. My favourite in that collection is the beige/gold a real princess gown. IMO

 

[NoorMeansLight]

Thank you for the photos Stephanievl! Most of her gowns are beautiful. I liked the silver grey gown more than the others... I know, a rather celebrity-looking piece, but that's my personal favourite.

She wore it during the visit from Sweden to Belgium in 2001. Princess Mathilde was pregnant of Elisabeth.

She must not have been very far along in her pregnancy. It's a pretty dress.

I also like the dress she wore in Norway(?) at the time of the 70th birthday of Harold (?) it was a skirt made of petals - i dont think i have seen her wear it again

I like these two the most. Especially the first one emphasizes her blue eyes =)

 

[Turkish Delight]

The 5th one is very beautiful! It is very flattering.

That's true. And I believe that her blue eyes -along with those shades of pink- would even look much more radiant if she stopped dyeing strands of her hair...Its natural colour is fairly dark (like her mother's hair used to be), isn't it?

Pretty dress, I like the print and the black & white works well here.

I can't see if it's a dress or a blouse & skirt, but it looks really pretty. Kate has the right figure for such outfits.

Aha, I finally found my all-time fav dress of Princess Caroline's! *clapping*

After scouring the 'net for quite some time, I should've just looked on TRF because this is where I found it, lol. Seriously, it was from the 1989 Red Cross Ball, which means she would have been 32 yrs. old at the time (I got that one right at least) and was accompanied by her equally attractive husband Stefano Casiraghi.

How they both glowed that night, like something out of the Arabian Nights:

***Note: this is one ensemble that I would love for her daughter, Charlotte, to recyle, as I've noticed Charlotte has lately worn a few of her mother's old dresses, all of which look equally stunning on Charlotte, Princess Caroline's twin: http://img101.imagevenue.com/img.php?image=84635_caroscan_122_500lo.jpg ***


ps: I also like this outfit that Princess Caroline wore back in the 80's sometime: http://i39.tinypic.com/2h588xu.jpg


And to get back on topic, I love what Princess Caroline wore to this year's 2010 Morocco-themed Rose Ball:

Can't wait to see what she has in store for us next!!!!!

 

[NoorMeansLight]

The good old days! Sure, Caroline was a stunner back then but still, I don't like all of her fashion choices.

CP Mette-Marit fashion is great this summer!

KRONPRINSESSE METTE-MARIT - Mette-Marits vakre sommerstil - Side2

 

[Lumutqueen]

Love that colour on MM, it's barbie pink IMO.

 

[Dierna23]

It seems as if CP Mette Marit is experimenting with strong and bright colors at the moment and that's great. I think pink (and all shades of it) is really her color.
