    She looks great here. Very elegant and fresh. The dress has a beautiful cut and it drapes Victoria perfectly.

      “Elegant and fresh” are perfect to describe her appearance today. (V.M.)

      Further agreement here. Feel that there’s a touch of the super elegant ‘new look’ of the 1940s and 1950s about it. Lovely

    I love this dress on Victoria. I love the neckline, and how the bodice has a soft 'wrap' effect, and especially the flare of the skirt. The dress has a nice flow to it. Bonus points for how all three in photo #4 are coordinated in green, assuming that it wasn't planned.

      I agree. I noticed that the length of the sleeve ends where the bodice fold line is, whether by design or coincidence, so it looks like a continuous line.

      I'm sure this designer's dresses will continue to be perfect for CP Victoria when she's actually in her 50s :)

    Nice, tidy and flattering look, although it has slight 50s housewife vibes.

      Vanessa , you called it right. I think there is too much material in the skirt -- that gives off vibes of the "50's. Victoria has a great figure, but somehow this dress does not show off her best features. I like florals confined to blouses with solid colored. This seems too much.

    So ein schönes Kleid und so herzliche Begegnung, möge die Kronprinzessin dort auch erholsame Stunden genießen können. Ihren Dutt könnte sie mehr nach oben stecken, ich kann mir vorstellen, das wirkt jugendlicher und schmeichelhafter. Vielleicht überrascht sie eines Tages mit einem geflochtenen Zopf, ein normaler Haarreif vielleicht überzogen mit dem Stoff vom jeweiligen Outfit oder auch eine Schleifenbestückte Haarspange mit Zopf im Nacken, sie könnte damit gut spielen und variieren. - Dorothe -

    A well chosen ensemble from CP Victoria.
    Halfway between formality and practicality.
    A reasonably fresh and vivid pattern for her midi dress, not garish and not overdone.
    Beautiful pumps too.
    A great trip on both diplomatic and economic fronts.
    Well done, Princess Victoria!

    Un modèle de robe très rafraîchissant peut-être légèrement trop long ; heureusement qu'elle a su choisir des escarpins de la même couleur de fond - Ravie qu'elle n'ait pas opté pour une pince à cheveux !

    Perfectly lovely dress on Victoria. I am curious if there were diplomatic efforts to harmonize the colours? The Nigerian minister wears green socks, if my eyes don't deceive me.

    What a good find for Victoria. Love this dress on her.
    I read from somewhere that the inspiration for this design came from a Dior dress from the early 1950s. This is very flattering and feminine design, yet, it also looks formal and professional for the visit.
    I loved how the color of Victoria's dress worked so nicely together with Nigeria's Minister of Foreign Affairs green outfit.
