Everyone looks elegant.
ReplyDeleteQueen Silvia is looking very beautiful in her magenta outfit.
ReplyDeleteThe colour of Queen Silvia's evening gown is gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteQueen Silvia looks wonderful. I especially like her cape with faux fur. It's quite old, but always stylish.
ReplyDeleteWould maybe be real fur not faux in her case? It drapes so beautifully and goes wonderfully with the stunning purple which is just perfect on her - Grace
DeleteGrace, the fur looks very good. I read a long time ago in "Svensk Damtidning" that it is made of artificial fur, but of high quality.
DeleteDid queen Silvia pick up her handbag?
ReplyDeleteInteresting question. What did you find out while researching the answer? That gets harder as you get older, but also in a Royal arrival with many cameras, it’s likely to be surreptitiously swooped up and restored by an aide - Grace
DeleteNo, her court lady did it while Silvia was greeting her friend.
DeleteThe Queen looks beautiful, her ensemble is a glorious colour.
ReplyDeleteThe double strand pearl necklace, gorgeous, wonderful addition!
Beautifully groomed, wonderful presentation by the Queen.
Agree 100%!!! And that color--it looks purple on my screen--is gorgeous on Queen Silvia. Janet
DeleteLa reine Silvia est divine dans cette couleur lumineuse ; je ne suis pas vraiment fan de sa cape !
ReplyDeleteYes, great look.
