| On October 15, 2019, Tuesday, Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway arrived at the Frankfurt Book Fair. The Crown couple were welcomed by Juergen Boos, the President of the Book Fair, and Heinrich Riethmüller, chair of the German Publishers and Booksellers Association. Afterwards, Crown Princess Mette-Marit officially opened the Frankfurt Book Fair 2019. Norwegian Prime Minister Erna Solberg, authors Karl Ove Knausgård and Erika Fatland, and artist Elle Márjá Eira were present at the official opening ceremony. (Crown Princess Mette-Marit wore a split-sleeve midi dress by Oscar de la Renta.) |
a very flattering and beautiful dress for MM. No nonsense with a twist. Haakon shows perfectly, that men can wear modern, slim cut suits without ridiculing themselves. Well done and take a good look, Heiko Maas!
ReplyDeleteYes; he really should give his cousin Fred some tips. ;-)

Looks just absolutely fabulous!
ReplyDeleteThe outfit is simple clean lines, elegant, sophisticated and very lovely MM.... JT
ReplyDeleteNothing exciting about her style, always too basic!
ReplyDeletemo-
Von Kopf bis Fuß fantastisch, Mette-Marit.

...ach, da steht ja auch Heiko Maas mit in der Reihe. Wie unsympathisch (tut mir leid, aber ich mag den überhaupt nicht).
Mette Mait sieht gut aus in puristischen Kleidern. Ihr hübsches Gesicht und das blonde Haar reichen als Glam-Faktor.
DeleteHeiko Maas...ohne Worte, ein Einreiher wäre besser gewesen...so macht es ihn noch kleiner und presswurstiger. Frieda
Blue suits her beautifully and she really is in her element surrounded by books. Nice to see Haakon knowing his place a couple of paces behind his wife at this event. :) She looks perhaps a bit tired here, though. Hope everything is allright -- or as allright as it can be with her illness. -- Suzy
ReplyDeleteNorwegian press have mentioned that the trip is a bit hard on her health and that she is exhausted. Haakon have had to step in several times to take over for her and she cancelled an evening event. MM sets up a brave face, but she is not as healthy as photos show. As they say themselves they have to make sure she gets rest during the day. We have seen her cough and look extremely tired during the trip.
DeleteAgree she looks beautiful. This trip has definitely been taxing on her but she pushes through. Literature is a huge passion of hers. I thought the pictures with the children on the train the other day were great. She looked so happy and engaged,

Nice to see P. Haakan in new shoes.
ReplyDeleteHa! - and they nice and shiny, his suit fits well and isn't blue, for once, and the trousers aren't stuck tightly to his legs. He should get his cousin from Denmark to try a new look, too. Mette Marit finally has the correct fit on top and she looks divine!
DeleteI totally agree to all of it!
DeleteCharmant couple... La robe de Mette-Marit lui va à ravir ; jolies les boucles d'oreilles !!!

ReplyDeleteMM looks lovely! This dress is the correct size and fitting and the style and design truly suits her. Well done.

Agree! A lovely look for her.
DeleteNavy blue and blonde hair work so well together, it´s really a great colour for her. The dress is pretty, clean lines, flattering shape, simple design with the sleeve shape adding a bit of interest. She looks good.
ReplyDeleteMM changed her style in clothing and for better. This is one of her best dresses. Like it!
ReplyDeleteMette looks absolutely gorgeous here and Haakon is not so bad either ;)
ReplyDeleteMM looks very chic again today. It seems that each outfit on her tour to Germany,was a success.
ReplyDeleteGreat plain navy dress with a flattering outline that looks superb on this lovely Princess
ReplyDeleteYes, she looks good. The skirt is great on her, love the sleeves.
ReplyDeleteHermosa MM,impecable,incluyendo caravanas;con H.hacen una hermosa pareja!
ReplyDeleteMe gustan los zapatos italianos marrones
A beautiful simple yet well designed dress. The princess looks chic, happy and just lovely. Please take into account her ill health and view as I do someone who is well dressed and a lovely representative for her country.
ReplyDeleteGood to see, that Mette Marit is fit again. She skipped some appointments in Germany because of her health, the norwegian court said, with her illness she has good and bad days, that's the reason. (read it in german newspapers). So I'm happy to see her fit here :-)
ReplyDeleteShe looks very, very good on that pics
.. and also want to say.. Haakon is very, very handsome!
ReplyDeleteShe looks beautiful in this dress, and her hair and makeup are stunning. If her health isn't as good as it looks, she is certainly hiding it well (which is a shame. I wish hee all the best). Haakon is handsome, as always. They are certainly a gorgeous couple.

My OCD (jk, i don't have it, but still...) can't handle the asymmetry of those stripes. Can't stand asymmetrical clothing in general, but this dress is lovely and fits her well!:)
ReplyDeleteSuch a handsome and nice royal couple!
