On October 21, 2024, King Frederik and Queen Mary of Denmark, Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel of Sweden, and Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway attended an official dinner at Bellevue Palace. The dinner was hosted by the President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier, and his wife Elke Büdenbender.
Also attending the official dinner were the President of Finland, HE Alexander Stubb, and his wife, Suzanne Innes-Stubb, and the President of Iceland, HE Halla Tómasdóttir, and her husband, Björn Skúlason. The dinner was held to mark the 25th anniversary of the Nordic Embassy Complex in Berlin, Germany, with the participation of the heads of state from Sweden, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, and Norway.
Without the benefit of a few more different views, I'm undecided about Mary's dress.
ReplyDeleteHowever I love Victoria's, Mrs. Budenbender's and Mette Marit's gowns. The silhouette of theirs look lovely, and the colours too.

Although Mette Marit looks like a lovely lady, she often wears dresses that look like nightgowns. I think Victoria looks stunning.
ReplyDeleteThis time, I like the dresses worn by all 3 royal ladies in their very different styles. CP Victoria’s is my favourite. However, the clear winner for me is the dress worn by the German President’s wife. It’s stunning

J'aime bien la robe de Victoria, c'est un beau velours, une belle couleur et ça lui fait une très belle ligne, toute en fluidité, c'est vraiment élégant.
ReplyDeleteLa robe de Mary est très bizarre, des manches courtes qui font penser à une robe d'été et qui lui font de trop larges épaules, une bande devant comme un tablier. Dommage. Le rouge est beau.
La femme du président allemand est élégante avec une robe étincelante comme un ciel étoilé. Les couleurs semblent se modifier selon l'éclairage, mais j'aurais préféré des motifs plus petits.
Les autres robes sont trop chargées de motifs à mon goût. Paloma.
CP Victoria looks stunning, love the dress, her hair and necklace, just wow. QM different style for her, not sure if I like. CP Mette dress is okay, though I think I would of liked it better sleeveless or with longer sleeves. Regardless they all look lovely
ReplyDeleteMary looks great in red but not sure about the style of her dress. The material looks stiff and the entire outfit looks oversized and a bit clunky. Victoria looks absolutely smashing in her purple velvet gown that accentuates her trim figure. Mette Merit looks very nice and I like the purple, brown and gold ‘splotches’ of her dress.
ReplyDeleteI had such high hopes for this event, but the fashion here is disappointing overall. Mary looks like she's in a robe, Mette-Marit remains on the homestead, Victoria is fine, but meh, I don't even understand what is happening with the president of Iceland (do the edges of the sleeves loop around her fingers?), and the one bit of interest is the Finnish first lady. But it wasn't a tiara event, so maybe they toned it down for that reason/purpose.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure of Mary's dress, I need to see another view of it from a different angle. Her earrings are beautiful, but her shoes oh divine! Mrs. Budenbender's gown looks fabulous.
ReplyDeleteIt is obvious to me that the star of the evening is Queen Mary who is featured front and center. I like how the ladies are dressed in a more modern gowns as well as their jewels. I especially like how Crown Princess Victoria has her hair styled in a low chignon. And as always Mrs. Budenbender always gets it right. I wish I could get more excited about Crown Princess Mette-Marit but I am just not feeling it!
ReplyDeleteI think all the ladies look gorgeous!!! Queen Mary is certainly flying the flag for Denmark in her choice of color--but the design is from Carolina Herrera. She looks beautiful in this simple yet elegant gown--I love that she's wearing her own earrings (her wedding earrings). I cannot wait to learn more about her bracelet. Wowza Victoria!!! Gorgeous deep purple velvet column gown that looks as if it was made right on her. Her updo is a much softer and lovely redesign of her usual bun--and it's perfect for her. This might just be one of her best outings in a gown this year. M-M's gown is not a show stopper like Victoria's or a super elegant look like Mary's but is very pretty. She loves her prints and I, for one, am glad to see this is a simple design is not one of her Little House on the Prairie styles she favored for so long. This is a style of dress that is so flattering on her because of its simplicity so the pattern of the fabric is showcased instead of overwhelming. Ms. Bundenbender looks amazing--a very glam look that's also very stylish as well as flattering to her. I like the idea of the President of Iceland's gown but the sleeves and neck area detract because they appear to be gray instead of the white of the gown, which is beautiful. I can't see much of Ms Innes-Stubb's gown but she looks elegant from what I can see.
