Royal ladies in orange/yellow: November 2006 - October 2008

[HRH Mims]

The bright colors aren't always that happy choice, but I thought it would be great to have pictures of "brave" royal ladies wearing yellow or orange
Enjoy

Sonja and Maxima seem to have the personalities to pull of bright colours!

This is a beautiful dress on Maxima- it looks almost like a dull gold or soft apricot- stunning.

Posts on this thread need to immediately change.

Until now, this thread has been a list of photos and links to photos that are posted in several other places on this board. Since the Royal Forums is not a photo hosting site but a discussion board, it is very important that this topic include discussion and not just photo links.

From now on, discussion about this topic will be required to keep this thread open. Photos here are often posted several other places on this board- please consider linking to those places so all members can have some context about when that particular fashion was worn (where, when, why and who!). Understandably, photos are often needed to support discussion but we trust that all members here are very familiar with the more appropriate mix of photos, dicussion and news that is balanced almost everywhere else across the forum.

If this thread does not immediately change from a list of repeated photos to an active discussion, we will have to close it because it is of little value to the forum and is simply using up bandwidth.

So let's all start talking to each other!!
Why do you like royals in yellow or orange?
Are there occasions when this wearing this colour was symbolic?
Maybe when it seemed completely out of place?
Who wears this colour the most strikingly?
Are there eras in time when this colour was more popular?
What style of clothing to you think looks best in this colour?
Are there colours that are OK for younger princesses, but not for more mature Queens?

Let the discussion begin!

 

[Penny Lane]

Yellow and orange are not the easiest colors to wear but on the right person it's they really bring out a kind of fresh beauty-Queen Sonja,Queen,Elizabeth and Queen Margarethe look great in the as does Princess Margaret,CP Maxima,CP Mary,CP Letizia and Princess Aimee.Princess Anne seems to love yellow she has worn it often over the years and looks stunning in it-it's really her color.

Not so flatterd was Diana not that she looked bad but yellow seems to have brought out the ruddiness in her complexion while orange seems to have drained it.Other color wer more flattering on her.
They are not Princess Alexandra's best colors either.-she is still a stunning woman though.

 

[dazzling]

I think yellow and orange and other bright colors are worn best on older ladies like the Queens. The younger generation dont pull it off too well.

Here are some pics of Queen Silvia wearing yellow, in general I think that yellow does make a huge contrast with dark hair just like Silvia's, even more than a white dress.

Silvia in 1988 wearing yellow at a State Visit to the USA, the dress is typical for the 80s
Silvia in 2003 bringing the sun into Germany with that wonderful yellow combination
Silvia and her husband in 2000 at the Olympic Games in Sydney, wearing yellow as one of the colours of their country

I think MC has worn yellow in the early days of her marriage....at a gala or b'day celebration...not sure...

Indeed she did, at the moment I do not have any better pic than this one, but she wore a yellow dress back in 1997 in Denmark, I think Queen Margrethe's and Prince Henry's 30th wedding anniversary was celebrated?!
The combination of blonde hair with a yellow dress is quite nice!

Marie Chantal wearing yellow in 1997

I agree. I usually think that blondes and yellow don't work very well, but this one is pretty.

 

[Incas]

Softer shades of yellow, like the dress Rania wore in #25 is a lot easier to carry off than the more "true" yellow Queen Sonia worse to White House. Unfortunately for that time period, that satin material only heightens the harshness of the colour.
