  1. La reine est charmante avec son joli chapeau, et son bouquet colorée. La belle saison est derrière eux, malheureusement.

  2. Le temps a l'air de s'être rafraîchi ; la reine s'est vêtue d'un élégant manteau avec un joli chapeau - La dame en rose-fuchsia et blanc sur la première photo a beaucoup d'allure ; sympa la forme cloche de son chapeau ; apparemment, il est à nouveau Tendance !

  3. The Queen looks lovely. The coat she is wearing, I love. The addition of the silk scarf is the perfect finishing touch.

    The Queen looks lovely, but why is she wearing such a warm outfit? The other women are wearing dresses with a jacket, low cut blouses or outfits, and the Queen is bundled up like its the dead of winter. She is beautiful, but curiosity makes me wonder. jj

  5. Queen Silvia looks lovely, her hat is great. My fashion winner is the woman in the bright pink skirt suit, she looks fantastic (and her jaunty hat is fabulous).

    1. For me the winner is still the queen, the pink suit lady is old fashioned from head to toe.

      I agree with Mary T. If your grandmother dresses like Queen Silviu, she is to be congratulated on her style and finances.

    Yes, thank you.
    My grandma has now passed away, but I recognised the style.

    Yes, Silvia is aging as all of us are doing. Just a bit unusual to get used too. But she's very composed in what ever she's doing. A very worthy Queen.

  8. It does look like a winter coat, the big scarf adds to it. Must be cool in Scandinavia.
    Is Silvias hat a little too big, it looks that way to me.
    I prefer the summer coats, the kind the british Queen wears a lot of the time.
    The lady in the pink suit indeed looks a little old fashioned.
    The King looks well dressed as usual.

  9. Her hat: there is something that bothers me about the hat.
    Looks like, with the hat, she is dressed to go to a conservative Sunday religious service.
