[Mandy]

Thanks for the pics Larzen! Btw, could some of your pics be from a www.vg.no article on Märtha Louise done in 2002 just before her wedding? The concept of that article was similar to this thread.

Great photos, Mandy. Märtha Louise really knows how to recycle her outfits! She also pulls off those bold colours with elan and ease. She's very comfortable in her own skin.

Thanks Mandy and Larzen for these comparisons.

I know that every royal recycles their outfits and it's a natural and good thing to do, but interesting how its less noticeable with Martha Louise because she changes up and mixes the accessories each time it seems sometimes like a whole new outfit. Only someone with such confidence in herself and her sense of style can pull that off as well!

 

[DKgirls]

Thanks for all the pictures!!!!

We love most of Märtha Louise's style, it's really cool!!!! It's different and very rare, but she just wear it with so much confident that it just looks so normal

Hail Mandy! Great thread. I confess that I am one of Märtha Louise´s biggest fans especially when it comes to fashion. Yet, I am rather conservative at times or so I am told. But she certainly has done a great job in recycling her outfits. She is a Style Star! I´m waiting, Style Network, for a show on her!

Märtha Louise's have a think that i think amaizing that is : the suprise elemente. We never can tell what she gona wear and is always very different from all that we see. Just for that i love her. Thanks for all the pics.

 

[sommone]

Thanks for posting the pictures. Although it is rare that I visit this particular forum, I do like Martha Louise. I also like seeing her outfits which she looks great...most of the time.

"She is brave ..."

"she should get credit for that.
.... Märtha dares to look different.

I think Princess Märtha Louise tops the ranking of the fashion princesses in Europe."

 

[Larzen]

I think Märtha Louise looks wonderful with hats and she looks like she enjoys wearing them, allthough I dont think there is many other that would get away with some of the hats she wears, the exception beeing the red one which is just plain ghastly, even on her

A purpel hat which I love on her

A red hat we hope never to see again The hat is made by Mone Strand

A white fabulous hat she used twice, for Haakons preweddding art exhibition and Memorial for King Olav, By Wenche Lyche

A black hat she has used first for Queen Elizabeths statevisit, then she changed the feathers and used it for the christening of Ingrid Alexandra, the hat is made by her favourite designer Wenche Lyche

 

[Larzen]

and with the the green top from her 30 birthday dress for a dinner in Trondheim on nationalday just days before she married, I cant find the picture though, a pitty because she looked beautiful..

Thanks to Mandy for the last two pictures

 

[liv]

Wenche Lyche did a great job. ML looked better than ever. BTW didn´t she also designe her wedding dress?

 

[Larzen]

Yes she did, I was accually a little disapointed with Märthas wedding dress, especially the shiny fabric, and think she has made better clothes for Märtha both before and after, still she was a beautiful bride and certainly one of the most happy looking

Wenche Lyche started making clothes for Märtha around 2000-2001, at least according to the press, and that was when Märtha accually got some style She also made one of my all time favourite royal dresses, the one Märtha wore for Haakons wedding. Wench Lyche really like to make clothes out of zippers, and the bolero she wore with the dress was made out of zippers, she also has a skirt made out of zippers. she also like korsetts like on the pink and brown dress and the peach one in denmark

Lyche, makes dresses, suits hats and acessories, she has made most of Märthas clothes for special occations the last years, however she was not guilty of the chicken dress in Spain

Vg has a little picture special about some of the dresses she has made for Märtha

I also include a zipper dress designed by Lyche for an exhibition
