President of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife Elke Büdenbender are making a three-day state visit to Sweden. On September 7, 2021, King Carl XVI Gustaf, Queen Silvia, Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia welcomed President Steinmeier and his wife with a state ceremony held at the Royal Palace.
Afterwards, the King and the Queen held a lunch at Royal Palace in honour of Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife Elke Büdenbender. The aim of the State Visit is to foster the already good Swedish-German relations and further strengthen long-term political, economic, social and cultural ties.

Wow .. CP Victoria looks beautiful . Love everything in her look . The Queen looks perfect as usual. Sofia also looks pretty . The King and the princes are chic as well .
ReplyDeleteAll of the ladies look very nice. Ms. Budenbender looks radiant in her bright red dress and hat. I love Queen Silvia's suit and hat. Her earrings and twisted pearl necklace are beautiful. Princess Victoria's outfit is gorgeous, both with and without the jacket. It is difficult to make out the details of Princess Sofia's dress due to the dark colors but it is good to see her and Prince Carl Philip again.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree with you Debra .
DeleteTrès jolies toutes ces dames - Dans une couleur orange vif/corail, Madame Budenbender est superbe ; j'aime bien le style canotier de son chapeau - Elégante la reine vêtue d'un tailleur/jupe ainsi que son chapeau dont elle a su combiner les couleurs noire et blanche ; j'aime beaucoup l'originalité de sa veste ; son collier à plusieurs rangs de perles torsadées ainsi que ses boucles d'oreilles lui vont à merveille - Magnifique Victoria avec la veste de son tailleur/pantalon déjà porté ; avec la robe, c'est parfait - Quel plaisir de revoir Sofia avec Carl Philip ; dommage de ne pas mieux voir sa robe dont les couleurs sont un peu sombres !
ReplyDeleteI´m happy to see state visits happening again, and to see faces without masks, even indoors, and people interacting seemingly normal.
ReplyDeleteAs for the outfits, I´d say they all look good. Silvia is beautiful in her black-and-white suit which fits her perfectly. Everything matches, but I would have opted for solid black shoes this time.
Frau Büdenbender´s coat dress is neat and creates a nice silhouette. I also like her sassy hat and the fact that she chose completely flat shoes. Why not? I´m not a fan of shiny fabrics, they don´t fotograph well indoors. Outdoors, that´s less of a problem, and the red colour is nice.
Victoria looks nice too. This is different from her usual, and I always welcome some variation. Her hair is softer, the flower hairpiece a pretty accessory. I like the simplicity of the dress, I like the fit. But I´m not entirely sold on the colour (although the combination of brown and beige is capturing), and I don´t like the length of the dress. I think it needed to be shorter. The jacket´s relatively long, the dress is long, together it´s looking a bit heavy on her, as if it´s weighing her down. The jacket works best with trousers, it seems.
The president´s trousers are too long.
The king looks fabulous in his uniform, as does Carl-Philip.
I agree with your comment on Victoria's outfit except I don't like the combinaison of the two colours.

Of, the President's wife has to be my favourite with the beautiful red dress, coat and hat. Shoes are disappointing but not enough to detract from the rest of the outfit. I like CP Victoria's colour scheme but even with her lovely shoes, the dress is on the long side for my liking. Queen Silvia as perfectly elegant as ever.
ReplyDeleteMs. Büdenbender recently suffered a metatarsal fracture, so her choice of shoes is quite understandable. I like all the outfits today, especially her red coatdress. Elli
ReplyDeleteYes one can see that Ms Büdenbender's left foot is still swollen due the fracture. I can understand why she cannot put on heels yet. M.J.
DeleteThanks for that info, Elli and MJ. That explains the shoes. You would certainly not want to risk heels until that was properly healed
DeleteWell I have to say Victorias outfit is ok, but the flowerbow in her hair not my cup of tea. Learn from mum...-Anne.
