I think for an event like opening a rock climbing wall that she should have worn a pair of pants, just my opinion. The one buttoned blazer isn't particularly flattering for her in the bussom area, in the last picture it looks like she needed more "support".
Other than that she looks great.:)
Remember, the lady is breast feeding. That has to be uncomfortable. Special bra, & all that swelling.

Thanks for the pictures Alexandria! I must admit that Mette-Marit looks great in these pictures. She is dressed for the occasion and her clothes are well coordinated.

Article from www.vg.no (Translation summary please)
Hyggelig, sier Mette-Marit
RADIUMHOSPITALET (VG Nett) Som den første i kongefamilien kunne kronprinsesse Mette-Marit i dag kommentere den gledelige begivenhet.
Kronprinsessen var på Radiumhospitalet for å legge ned grunnstenen til nytt forskningsinstitutt tirsdag formiddag.
Et stort pressekorps var på plass for å følge kronprinsessen som smilte og strålte fra høye stiletthæler, mens regnet flommet ned fra himmelen.
- Det setter vi stor pris
Hun er den første i kongefamilien som har vært ute på offisielt oppdrag siden nyheten om at et nytt barn i kongefamilien er på vei, ble offentliggjort mandag.
-Det er veldig hyggelig. Det setter vi stor pris på, sa kronprinsessen i en kort kommentar til den kommende familieforøkelse.
Da Mette-Marit ble spurt om kronprinsparet hadde lignende planer, lo hun godt.
Kronprinsessen hadde fått i oppdrag i legge ned en førti kilo tung «grunnsten» som markerer byggestarten på det nye forskningsinstituttet ved Radiumhospitalet. Inne i grunnsteinen ligger flere dikt, tekster og tegninger fra kreftsyke, og tanken er at dette er hilsener og håp for fremtiden. I tillegg til hilsningene ligger også tegninger av bygget, et sett av årets mynter og av årets frimerker og dagens aviser.
Det 17000 kvadratmeter store bygget skal etter planen stå ferdig i 2009, og har en kostnadsramme på 1 milliard kroner.
Etter grunnstensnedleggelsen startet den offisielle feiringen av 50-årsjubileet for Institutt for kreftforskning. De mange på talelisten i anledning dagen roste forskningen som har blitt gjort, men understreket at det nå er viktig å få et nytt og moderne forskningsbygg på plass.
Summary: Mette-Marit said that the news of Märtha Louise and Ari having another baby was nice, but when asked if she and the Crown prince had similar plans she laughed and said "Not yet."
This conversation happened when Mette-Marit was marking the start of building a new research building at the Radium Hospital.
Rather boring outfit I must say, and whats up with her only buttoning one button at the top (she also did it on Iceland and to an art show) it would be more elegant if she buttoned all three, it looks sloppy. At least there has been an improvement in the hair department lately:)
While I agree with you on the jacket it's possible she's having problems with it due to the breast feeding, know what I mean?

I don't think clothing allowance is a factor. I have seen the Crown Princess wear expensive designer clothing like Valentino,Armani,Burberry...etc.
She doesn't need a huge allowance or even expensive designer clothing to look great.
That's true, you don't need that much money to dress well. I'm sure she has more than enough of a budget for that. Just look how nice you can dress even at Banana republic.... www.bananarepublic.com

I attach some of the colourpress pics, I think she looks good, colour still would not hurt her, I find her shoes a bit too much, not a fan of snake skin
The hospital is the first in Norway with a singleroom with a personal shower for all the patients, she did not speak witht the press but spoke in private with some of the patients. She was accompanied by Anders Flågen, he used to be Aid de Camp for the Crown Prince but is now Protocoll advisor for the CP-couple and often accompanies both MM and Haakon
Wow, I must say Crown Princess Mette-Marit looks really radiant in some of the pictures in the first load posted by Larzen! Magnificent, she's really sparkling. However, I do agree with you Larzen that some colours would be nice - but when I see pics like these, it's okay :) Those shoes though is a no no from me, I'm not fond of those kind of "flashy" snake skin types...
Mette-Marit went to see the Grefsen revy (variety) yesterday night, her niese Julie Høiby was in charge of the show, and she went there with her mother and two brothers, the show was one and a half hour late and it seems some of the students (age 18-19) got a little overwhelmed with the press attention and got a little bossy with the papers who were there, but MM was friendly with the press when she left and answered some questions
Mette-Marit at the Nordic Championships in Figure Skating '05
It seems Kongehuset.no has been getting better at publishing pictures from official events. Here is a pic of Mette-Marit from Friday when she opened the nordic championships in Figure Skating in Asker. Its so far the only picture I have seen from this event. Figure Skating is not a big sport in Norway and the competition has hardly gotten any media coverage
