| On December 10, 2018, Norwegian King Harald, Queen Sonja, Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit attended The 2018 Nobel Peace Prize ceremony held at Oslo City Hall. The Nobel Peace Prize 2018 was awarded jointly to Congolese gynecologist Denis Mukwege, and Yazidi human rights activist Nadia Murad, for their efforts to prevent the use of sexual violence as a weapon of war. |
Fendi Dress - Fall Winter 2018-19 Collection
Great look for them both. God bless the crown princess.
ReplyDeleteWow I love Mette's outfit! So sweet and refreshing! Sonja looks amazing to in that wintery look. Cant wait to see the Swedes tonight :)
ReplyDeleteAgree. Me too.
DeleteAbsolute no. This is a dress for very slim ladies withy small bust.
ReplyDeleteDo you know you often make unpleasant remarks about women's weight and what clothes are supposed to look like. MM looks lovely here.
DeleteSorry, but Marina is right. Some dresses doen't look good on big women, so what?
DeleteIt's not about being unpleasant and not about someone's weight. It's about looking your best when all the eyes are on you, and this dress doesn't make her look her best.
DeleteAll eyes were on the nobel laureates. Can you not express you opinion about tailoring and fashion without such constant negativity. I've been reading this blog for years and you are one of the least diplomatic commentators and it is getting tiresome to read.
DeleteAgree, Marina. It's not the worst look but it's not flattering. Apart from the horizontal split, I'm not sure that shade of biscuit brown does her any favours. However, I do love the hat. M-M so rarely wears anything more than a fascinator or hairband. This is elegant and lovely on her.
DeleteMarina, I agree with you: lovely dress, beautiful woman, but they should not go together... You did not made a'n unpleasant remark, you are right...
DeleteMarina isn't wrong or right and she is entitled to a view but she certainly has a rude and outmoded way of expressing her opinions about how the women on this site look!
DeleteWhat makes Marina's comment unpleasant is that it implies a view about MMs figure and that her dress should never have been chosen by her as she does not have certain physical characteristics. The abruptness of the comment is unpleasant as is the implied sneering at MMs figure.
DeleteDon't know if anonymous comments above are one and the same person but there is o trace of unpleasantness or rudeness that I can see in marina's comments. As previously stated the age and size (height as well as width!)of the wearer matter in the overall appearance of an outfit and it is perfectly reasonable to comment when commenting on the overall outfit. I chuckled at the idea of a comment being outmoded-one of the great things about this site is that there are people from so many different backgrounds, many obviously writing in a language that is not their mother tongue. If that is criticised that would be rude.
DeleteComments about a person's body are NOT acceptable. It is body shaming. There are definitely styles that look better on different body types, but pointing out body deficiencies (as you see them) is wrong.
DeleteCP Mette Marit, that's not my favorite dress for you. Not bad not good, but I always like her warmhearted smile
ReplyDeleteNice dresses, very appropriate for the occation. And MM wears a hat!
ReplyDeleteThis is a no for me. It reminds me of a monk's cloak (or at least the ones they wear in the movies.) The waist detailing is lovely, as are the pleats, but the white top/shoulder part ruins it. I'm also getting really tired of the pillbox (is that the correct name) hats.
ReplyDeleteIt was nice that she was able to attend the events today, though.
Also, I didn't realize Queen Sonia was fluent in French. (During Dr. Mukwege's speech, she was the only one who didn't use the translation earpiece. Brava for her!)
Queen Sonja studied in France when she was young...
DeleteThey both looks great. MM likes conservative dresses and this is a good choice.
ReplyDeleteNo no! What is MM wearing? That dress is terrible.
ReplyDeleteThis dress is a NO for me, shortens and widens the figure, brown is a beautiful color but difficult to wear when is not the right hue. Looks a little better on the models, but not great either
ReplyDeleteLove MM's look at the Nobel peace prize! Both Queen Sonja and MM looked so moved by the speaches.
ReplyDeleteCoincido:MM se emocionó, tiene una mirada muy dulce, hermosa mujer por dentro:sensible
ReplyDeleteEstá impecable el vestido
I love MM dearly and I like that dress too, but not both together. That style is not the best choice for her.
ReplyDeleteI looked back at the photos and thought about others' comments, I do like the color of MM's dress but think the white across the whole shoulder line is too much. She is broad-shouldered and this emphasizes that so much. White as a V-neck insert or a bib would have been a nicer touch. The hat was an interesting idea but it makes her look like a nun for some reason. Maybe a different design? The queen looks classy, as usual, and their color choice, MM's and the queen's, are in harmony.
ReplyDeleteTotally agreed with your comment, a v neck would be perfect for the princess and a couple of inches in both sides. On the other hand, a very emotional moment, this is a very important cause worldwide. God bless them.
DeleteVery nice outfits for the Queen and CPss. Mette Marit looks healthy and happy. Hope she is doing well.
ReplyDeleteJe les adore ils sont touchants c’est un formidables couple ....
ReplyDeleteIs Fendi now tailoring for nurses? MM can do it better!
ReplyDeleteEveryone is commenting on the dresses and here I am, happy that MM has not worn her typical headbands and for once has gone for a hat! She looks good, I hope her health is recovering
ReplyDeleteI love Queen Sonjas outfit, especially the colours. Very elegant and appropiate.
ReplyDeleteAm I right? Is Amal Clooney also there?
Yes, anon. Amal is Nadia's lawyer. She's been representing her, and speaking to the UN on her behalf, since 2016.
DeleteWie schön sieht dagegen Königin Sonja aus!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a very good thing that Nadia Murad and Dr. Denis Mukwege recieve the Nobel prize. I really hope that this is one more step to a change!
ReplyDeleteYes, me too. And to avoid someone could say this is fashion blog and not
DeleteSorry, I sent my answer too quickly. I just wanted to say both laureats are hihgly deserved to get their prizes and are very elegantly dressed for the occasion. MM was so hearty and touched that I can only express my simpathy with her.
DeleteI would like a comment from the blog's moderator, please. Was I offensive? I am sorry if my comment(s) was(were) viewed as unpleasant and sneering. I did not express an assessement or opinion on the person, it was an opinion on the dress. This blog is about fashion and style, and style is also about good fit and making person look their best. All the royal ladies, like all of us, are different( heights, constitution, etc.) When we try on something, we can see whether it does something for us or not. Being well dressed is part of the royal ladies' job, and they have help and means to be well dressed. They can customize models they like and they can have best tailoring as well. All of them are doing wonderful and worthlike things, having lots of obligations and being daugthers, wives, mothers and grannies as well. My comments never reflect on that, or on their merits. I think it's a great pity when their choice of clothes is a miss and I try to explain why it's a miss, in my opinion.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with you, marina.
DeleteAm elegantesten ist wieder einmal Königin Sonja !!
ReplyDeleteI really like MM's dress. I don't like the colors on her because she has such a fair complexion and it washes her out. I think it was designed for a darker complected woman. It would have been nice to see this in another color.
ReplyDeleteMM looks lovely, flattering style and colour.
