In the exhibition, outfits and belongings of Queen Maud are exhibited. The exhibition 'Queen’s meetings' is being held in collaboration with the Norwegian Opera & Ballet. |
...always sophisticated and elegant, it never goes out of style... Beautiful Queen!
ReplyDeleteDas würde ich mir zu gerne anschauen! Ich liebe es, die nun so allmählich in Vergessenheit geratene Schneiderkunst zu bewundern. Die Königin sieht toll aus. Das schlichte Kleid und diese wunderbare Kette passen so gut zu ihr. Sie ist auch ein Mensch, der mit dem Style-Gen zur Welt kam. Ich meine, wer würde sich an Quietschegelb trauen und damit super aussehen als eben diese besonderen Menschen. Vererbbar ist es leider nicht.
ReplyDeleteThe vintage gowns and dresses are gorgeous. Today's designers should, perhaps, incorporate some of the old design elements in today's fashions. Queen Sonja looks very nice but I'm not sure about her neckwear. Is it a necklace, a scarf, or a combination of the two?
ReplyDeleteIt's a curtain tie.
DeleteIt’s a spectacularly beautiful necklace!
DeleteA very well fitting dress for Queen Sonya. Also love the jewelry it is impressive. Nice gallery of Gowns. r..l css.
ReplyDeleteQueen Sonja always looks well put-together, whether dressy or casual. And what a lovely display of beautiful dresses from a bygone era.
ReplyDeleteIs that flouncy yellow dress the same one that Queen Sonja loves to wear?
Yes, it is indeed.
DeleteQueen Sonja looks amazing. The sleek white dress and pale stockings and shoes, accented by a vivid pop of color at the neck, is a very striking look -- one that would be wonderful on a woman of any age. It is something I will try to remember as I attempt to grow old gracefully.
ReplyDeleteFascinating exhibition! Would love to see it.
I actually went to see the exhibition today. Queen Maud's dresses were soo beautiful! The picture's I've seen just doesn't do them any justice.
ReplyDeleteAnon @11:16 It seem to be the dress. I believe she wore it At Prince ans Pss carl Philip ans Sofias wedding in 2015
ReplyDeleteI like the scarf. It is unusual and gives just that right amount of color to her ivory outfit. Clothing, hairstyle, make up -- all magnificent.
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteQueen Sonia looks magnificent in this dress and the necklace/collar is just perfect. However, I am bowled over by the dresses on display. I would love to be able to visit this exhibition. It looks amazing.
ReplyDeleteI don't generally follow her a lot (though always thought she has good aesthetic sense) - but this time, WOW. Spectacularly gorgeous !!!

The pictures from the staircase is quite meaningful. If you look closely you'll see a painting on the top of the stairs that Sonja really loves. The painting has 22 steps. The painting represents how Queen Sonja felt when marrying into this royal, manly and military-like institution. King Olav didn't find it necessary for her to have an office, so she just wandered around aimlessly from room to room. It took 22 years for her to get a permanent office. The 22 steps represents the years of challenges she had to fight and overcome.
ReplyDeleteQueen Sonja made sure that an office at the palace was ready for CP Mette Marit when she married into the royal family <3
Thank you for this very interesting inside view. I know, she had had a hart time at the beginning, and this story gives a rather good impression, how difficult it must have been.
DeleteYou’re welcome:) My sources are from an article with the Q and CP did with the VG newspaper here in Norway. I also went to see this exhibition where the guide mentioned the same story as well :)
DeleteA beautiful dress, beautifully tailored. And I love the pop of colour that the necklace provides. I think she looks great here. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteI am very impressed with a sense of beauty and artistic ability of Queen Sonja of Norway.
ReplyDeleteAn elegant and beautiful Queen,and a wondeful exhibition. I hope to be able to visit it some day.
