On the evening of May 2, Estonian President Alar Karis hosted a State Banquet at Viimsi Artium in Lubja in honor of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia. Sweden’s King and Queen are making a state visit to Estonia at the invitation of Estonian President Alar Karis. The three-day State Visit will take place in Tallinn and Tartu.
Beautiful hairstyle on the Queen. The dress is gorgeous except the top portion. Why do these dressers not point out to these ladies that they need a better bra, for their outfits? This would have been an amazing outfit if it wasn’t for this mistake, shame.
ReplyDeleteYou forget she isn't young anymore. A bit of respect please for an older lady who is still very beautiful and is still in good shape. I am sure she has access to the best underwear there is today. There are other royal ladies who don't look as good as she does and who are younger.
DeleteI don't think that the comment was disrespectful, she is saying that the dressers should look for better underwear, that's it.
DeleteThe queen looks indeed lovely, and probably this is why her hair is been so long lately, maybe planning a nice updo for the coronation as well.

Agree entirely with Anonymous 7.27 - AnneLise
DeleteIt is a delicate matter, because it is about "gravity", when you try to "lift" with a bra, it can be quite painful. The body changes when aging, that's all.

17.14, wirklich etwas peinliches Thema, aber nett erklärt!
DeleteI see the point, so she needs a dressmaker, who is familiar with it. e.
DeleteLovely Queen Silvia. Once again an inspiration to those of us who are slightly more mature😀 Great dress, fantastic updo
ReplyDeleteAnnieM
Yes AnnieM, a great inspiration.
DeleteGood workmanship with her updo.
The lady standing next to the President (his wife?) has opted for a low key, no risk dress for the occasion.
But I think King Carl steals the show with his tux, medals and sundry decorations. Perfect image of a King.
Unless things have changed, Queen Silvia will not be attending the Coronation on Saturday.
Princess Victoria with be accompanying her father for the occasion.
Yes!

Annie M, I had to laugh at what you said 😀 I’m part of the slightly more mature group myself.I’m ten years younger than Queen Silvia,but I haven’t looked that good in at least 30 years! Joanne
DeleteQ. Sylvia's gown is gorgeous!! It has been worn before and I loved it then too. So pretty!!
ReplyDeleteIsn’t queen Silvia just a lovely heartwarming lady? She a class act through and through.

Similar silhouette for the Queen and it works every time. She looks fantastic and should win an award for that fabulous hair!
ReplyDeleteWhat a kind lady, you can just see it in her smile, I love the gown, the jewels and I am always up for a lovely chignon! Fitzhugh
ReplyDeleteThe Queen looks great. Not my favourite tiara but the tiny rubies match the riband. Mrs Karis´dress is beautiful. Love the dragonfly motiv and navy blue color.

The Queen's up style hair is a work of art, beautifully coiffured, soft looking. Her dark blue gown is simply stunning. By the look of it she is wearing a tiara with flecks of ruby stones, as well as earrings, I think. The diamond necklace is gorgeous. She is always immaculately groomed, a class act. The red color of her sash offsets her gown, not sure what the stone of her brooch is, sapphire or ruby with diamonds?
ReplyDeleteThe brooch is a ruby with diamonds. The tiara is the Crown prinsess Margaret's ruby tiara, a gift on her wedding day from her aunt and uncle, King Edward VII and Queen Alexandra

J'ai tout de suite admiré son chignon sur ses magniques cheveux qui permettent de placer harmonieusement ses diadèmes !
ReplyDeleteYes, perfection, a piece of (hair-)art!

The Queen's hair is just gorgeous. She has excellant tiara hair. It is not my favourite tiara but she looks wonderful. The dress is for me a miss and I don't know why. I know I don't like the fit, nor the shiny lining showing through, nor the slight scoop of the neckline maybe it is just the sum total of the little details that make it a dissapointment for me. I just find it not her most flattering evening attire. I think the diamond necklace does not add anything to it al. It is just distracting rather than enhancing the whole look.
ReplyDeletedeadeggs,
ReplyDeletePlease note that the king is n o t wearing a tux.
He is wearing white tie and tails.
Tux/tuxedo/dinner jacket is a slightly less formal garment.
Thanks for the info @Anon15:12.
DeleteI'm not an expert in that department but I'm happy to learn 😊
We all comment on the Queen, yet the King is dressed well, except for the dour look he always has on his face. One rarely sees him smiling.
ReplyDeleteHe is known to be a stickler for protocol.
ReplyDeleteLadyofthemanor
Both ladies look spot on. I like the Tiara on Q Sivia's head and her hairstyle. css
