The traditional Norwegian costume is very beautiful. It seems that the traditional costume for men is usually the same but from these pictures I supposed the women must wear different ones when visiting different parts of Norway. Any idea on how many of these traditional costumes the Queen, Mette-Marit and Martha Louise each possess?
The male costumes do vary, most of them do have the basic black jacket and pants, but there are some where it happens in other colours, like white. If you see Ari and Haakon's bunads, there's plenty of differences between them. The male bunads can have hats, or not. The number of buttons on the vest may vary, as may the socks, the shirt, the vest, etc.
Sonja is definitely the one who has the most bunads, though I wouldn't try to make an estimate even. She wears the Asker, and the Telemark bunad, the most often. But she has others.
Märtha has a Telemark, an Asker, one from Setesdal (which was used mostly when she danced folk dances.) I also think she has one from Hardanger. There might be others here as well.
Mette-Marit has the Jelsa bunad, which she has had since her confirmation. She also has a Hardanger bunad, methinks. I'm relatively sure that if it hasn't happened yet, she will get an Asker bunad.
I heard that Ingrid Alexandra would get a bunad from Agder, once upon a time (it was mentioned in the media at the time of her birth.) But I would presume that she will end up with more than enough bunads from all over the country.
What presisely Astrid and Ragnhild has, I'm unsure about.
