Yes!! Why oh why doesn't she do something with her hair? It's always strained back in a dowdy unflattering way.
Of all the royal ladies, I think Victoria has the worst hairstyle.

In Sweden, wearing hose in the summer is very uncommon, even among lawyers. It would have looked very matronly. Even my grandmother wouldn't wear them when she was alive. It is mostly people sensitive to draughts or people with visible veins that wear them. She might chose to wear hose if she were visiting in the US, though, where I understand it is considered more appropriate.
Apart from this, I thought her dress was a bit too short. But then I know I'm a bit conservative in that area.

i disagree. you have that opinion because you rarely see Victoria with her hair down, she likes up-duos more so she wears them more often.
besides, she is the princess in my opinion with the best up-duos out there! (aka: nobel prize, she got all this years amazing hairstyles and with diferent up-duos)

It seems softer somehow, and no, not just since the announcement of her pregnancy.

Can we focus on Vicky and her pregnancy? She's gained a few kilos, her hair is a bit messy....but who cares? She looks radiant.
She is going to be a great mom.

Is Victoria not just wearing plain, boring, ordinary, if not exceedingly expensive, fashionable clothes? I have yet to see her wear anything that could be remotely described as "Maternity Fashion". 
When she is showing and wearing low heels I might just think it's because she is pregnant. 
By the by, aren't the designers more than a little pipped at their latest "collection" being reduced from Divine, elegant, chic, to "Maternity Wear"? 
Are we no longer to drool over a beautiful evening dress (last post on the evening wear thread 32 July) or stunning day wear (last post 3 August)? If so this could (fashion and event-wise) be one of the longest royal pregnancies in history!
Is Victoria's entire calendar to be marked by "Maternity" wear and relegated to just plain "Pregnant Victoria" instead of Princess Victoria wearing . . . . . ?

Yes LadyFinn, that's how we've always done it - once a pregnancy is announced, out comes the Maternity Fashion thread and the others are shown the broom closet for six-seven months 
So far, Victoria has gotten off to a good start with her pregnancy clothes - which can also be used after pregnancy as well. The purple tunic may have been a bit to short, but was a really nice colour and cut. The teal evening dress at Anna's wedding was also a nice colour on her, but was a little overdressed for the occassion - all the other women in the picture were wearing knee/cocktail length dresses.

I bit square and still a bit too short, especially given the occasion IMO.

I don't understand why people complain that Victoria is wearing dresses that are too short, as I don't think the dress that CPSS Mary of Denmark is wearing in this picture is much longer: http://www.jv.dk/modules/xphoto/cache/14/615714_980_550_0_0_0_0.jpg and she is standing a bit bent forward here.

I find it too short, in general & especially for the event, and the silly hairpieces are back
