 Madeleine is a very attactive woman and has years of dressing for public occasions under her belt. Some of her gala gowns made her look innocent and princessy, others were very chic, yet others were stunningly sophisticated and others pure romance.
When a woman has that sort of track record it makes the misses so much more noticeable and you end up thinking "huh . . . what was she thinking?" A definite speed bump!

She looks very matronly - that outfit is for a retired society grande dame! I prefer her hair a little lighter and less bouffant, personally.

September 8, 2014 - Madeleine in a black dress with hair left open attending a fundraising dinner for Childhood Foundation.
The dress is nice but it somehow is aging. Madeleine should've pulled her hair up with such a dress.

This gown ages her, it is too old for her. And she is wearing a ton of make-up, not a good thing. She used to wear light gowns/clothes and now it's dark.

Yes, Madeleine would have looked better in one of her usual pastels, even in that dress, which is sylistically something she would choose. But in black, its only redeeming virtue was it's slightly scooped neckline.
I am not a fan of hair down at formal events but, if I had to choose one princess who could pull it off, it would be Madeleine. Thanks to a can of industrial strength hairspray, it was a great "do". Her face was clearly visible with her hair styled back from her face as it was, allowing her earrings to be clearly seen. But I have to admit, she has a heavy hand with the makeup.
Actually, both sisters should be taking a leaf out of their mother's book of evening fashion. It has colour.

The black outfit is better than the outfit before but I agree, it ages her a lot. Far too matronly for her age. Again, Madeleine herself looks beautiful.

Well, her mother looked better than she did. The make up is not flattering and the lace placement in stripes down the front of the dress is not flattering. This is way too much lace for her. Lace and froufrou puts on the pounds.

The dress is from Ida Sjösted's Spring Summer 2015 line. It has been modified, as most dresses the Royal wear are, as the original dress was completely see-through.

ALSO- I have loved Madeleine's last 2 dresses. I think she looks amazing in them. They are probably not a dress I would wear but I love them and think she looked very good.

Her Gala dresses are too mucht sofisticated, too much going on , she should keep it simple beacause she has a natural beauty that enhance a dress! she doesn't need to mucht to look good!

I also think she is struggling to lose the baby fat. I think she is wearing black thinking it makes her appear thinner, but it is definitely not her best color. She also has on way too much makeup. I like this dress better than the last one she wore, but it still isn't up to her usual standards. Madeleine is such a beautiful princess and it doesn't take much for her beauty to show!

In general, I think Madeleine looks wonderful and I love her dress, but I would love it even more without the lace. There's just something "off" about it IMO. I also agree with udyusa in regards to Madeleine and baby weight - I'm not an expert in this field as I have never had a baby (but hopefully I will one day) myself, although I understand that for some women, it's harder to lose than others. I think it has been harder for Madeleine (Zara Tindall in Great Britain is the same, IMO).

The dress is very lovely. I also love her hair and makeup.
