Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit visited Oslo's oldest youth centre, Hammersborg. It has been 70 years since the Hammersborg club started, and the Crown Prince couple took part in the celebration event. Hammersborg youth club has nearly 150 members and the children are in 5th to 7th grade. At the club, there is a workshop for hobby activities, a music room and studio, a gaming room and a small gymnasium.

M-M looks terrific here! I like her hair in this simple straight look. The dress is great--fits well and has simple clean lines which are very flattering to M-M.

I agree…I’m happy to see her hair worn straight. The long ringlets just seem too girlish to me. (V.M.)
DeleteHhm. This dress is ok-ish in theory, but it doesn´t look good on Mette-Marit. Too dark and depressing for June, the satin looks polyester-y and sweat-inducing, and the pattern creates unfortunate illusions of a belly.
ReplyDeleteI know Mette-Marit likes this kind of stuff: long, floaty dresses, high necks, longer sleeve lengths, patterned fabrics. This is less frilly than sometimes, but I think she should stay away from all the floaty stuff in general and instead go for more structured designs and sturdier fabrics.
MM has given birth to 3 kids. She is not ashamed of her belly. She never has been. As fellow human being we should support all women's bodies, not bodyshame them. Can't we stop this?
Delete@ Anonymous 18:53: I haven´t said a single word about anybody´s body, let alone shamed anyone. I was talking about the pattern: the lines aren´t horizontal but curved and create a 3D effect. I find that unfortunate, that´s all.
DeleteI think Mette-Marit is in good shape.
Generally speaking though, I don´t agree at all that one should support all women´s bodies. There are shapes and sizes that aren´t healthy and I for one will not normalize those. That´s still not bodyshaming anyone, that´s just telling the truth. (The truth is never offensive, but it can hurt - if you live in a fake world.)
"The pattern creates unfortunate illusions of a belly" is definitely not body shaming. With this pattern and the flowy fabric, this would apply to anybody independently of family status, number of children, body form and weight. I don't like this dress on the model as well.

I agree with your comment and fully support your answer to Anon 18:53. We should not deny that some bodies are unhealthy. This is not a comment about Mette-Marit.
DeleteI don`t like the dress at all.
You all seem to forget that CP Mette-Marit is often not feeling well due to the illness she has to coop with. Anyone thought about the fact that she probably takes a medicine to fight against that disease. We all know that prescription drugs have side effects. Is it is not more important that she is feeling well most of the time ? I think fashion and clothes come not in the first place any more, but feeling better and have a more or less normal life as a wife and a mother.
DeleteCe genre de robe aux lignes épurées n'avantage pas Mette-Marit ; légèrement plus courte en portant des petites chaussures à talons, ce serait plus flatteur pour sa silhouette !
ReplyDeleteLove MM's dress. Plus her smile comes from a pleasant soul deep within the woman she is, love that about her.
ReplyDeleteIndeed! She seems to be a kind and friendly person, down to earth. Nicely dress but nothing extravagant.
DeletePerfect. Nothing more needs to be said.
ReplyDeleteM-M looks nice and really like her longer, straight hair. I think the dress is more suitable for autumn with the colors, but otherwise it’s a nice choice for her go to silhouette.
ReplyDeleteNice to see MM again she looks terrific. Like this dress on her. css
ReplyDeleteMM looks fabulous, this dress looks lovely. The style suits her well.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunate design for any type of body. Even on the model it looks odd and unflattering.
ReplyDeleteCH
Although Mette Marit's dress is not my cup of tea, she looks fabulous regardless.
ReplyDeleteHer straight platinum blonde hair is simply amazing.
P. Haakon Is dapper as always.
Lovely couple.
Always glad to see some news from this lovely couple. I really like the Norwegian royals, friendly and discreet.
