In Sweden today, Princess Estelle was christened.
Best Dressed in Pink
Crown Princess Victoria
Let’s start in my favourite colour, Pink! I love that Prince Carl Philip’s girlfriend Sofia Hellqvist, this is one of her first official outings as a Royal girlfriend. I say she looks good. Princess Märtha Louise of Norway looked better than she does, a satin jacket, a ruffled dress and opened toe shoes, she looked OK. Queen Silvia looks good, a very odd hat, a lace shirt and a satin dress. Crown Princess Victoria won the prize, a detailed top and a very nice dress, well done!
Best Dressed in White/Brown
Anna Westring
one of the godmothers, Crown Princess Mary, partly disappointed me, a yellow printed dress,a white coat and a repeat hat. Estelle’s aunt, looked very nice in a satin coat, a detailed dress, gray accessories, and a purple hat. Prince Guillaume’s fiancée played the part as a future hereditary princess, wearing a tweed jacket, a (very) short dress, gray accessories, and a hat from her soon to be mother-in-law. Princess Mathilde wore her usual outfit. the one that got my vote was Daniel’s mother, Anna. I don’t hate anything from her outfit.
Best in Look at Me!
Princess Maxima of the Netherlands
We have a queen and a future queen in a battle. Maxima, wore her usual bright clothing. And Margrethe wore a printed jacket and dress.I dislike print, Maxima won.
Best Hat
Crown Princess Victoria
Best in hats – boy, do I love hats! Anna Westring wore a very small fascinator – I like it. Sofia Hellqvist wore a beige version of it – Good as well. Princess Maxima wore a red turban – it’s ok. Princess Madeleine wore a purple feather and veil. Princess Märtha Louise wore a big pink hat – Nice. Princess Mathilde, wore like nothing – BAD! Queen Margrethe wore a big blue hat – Good. Countess Stephanie de Lannoy wore a hat from her future mother-in-law – good. Crown Princess Mary wore a repeat sparkly hat – Great. Queen Silvia wore a big pearl, feathery mess – BAD! Crown Princess Victoria wore a flower and a fasinator – Double Win!
Cutest of the Day
Princess Estelle of Sweden
Estelle, was a very cute, quiet girl at the christening. Look how cute she is! She looks like her mom and dad. Also – she has her first sash!
Today, was the christening of Prince Joachim and Princess Marie’s daughter. I watched the christening live, it was very beautiful. The princess’s name is Athena Marguerite Françoise Marie, she is so very cute.
Best Dressed Gentleman
Prince Joachim
I had to give this award to Prince Joachim for obvious reasons, he is beaming a giant grin, he is wearing a pink tie, he looks very dapper, and he made a beautiful child. Frederik would come in 2nd, he had a very nice tie, and he looks very happy to have a niece. Henrik looks good as well, for going to many christenings, he looks very good.
Best Dressed Women
Princess Marie
Princess Marie was pretty much given this award, a pale pink dress and shoes, a very colourful brooch and a very cute baby. Crown Princess Mary would come 2nd, I hate prints, but I love this outfit; I love Mary’s hair, aquamarine earrings, blue clutch and shoes. It was a tie for last with Carina Axelsson (the long-term girlfriend of Prince Gustav of Berleburg) and Queen Margrethe for obvious reasons.
Best dressed in Little Ones
Princess Athena
Princess Athena was a very cute girl at the ceremony, she put a smile on my face a lot – that’s why she’s first. Princess Isabella came in second with a repeat dress, a cute hairstyle and shoes. All the guys tied with 3rd, they all look great, especially Henrik, he looks very, very cute. And Nikolai and Felix, your father has taught you well. :)
Today, in Norway was National Day. The Queen, King, Crown Prince, Crown Princess, Princess Ingrid Alexandra, Prince Sverre Magnus, and Mette-Marit’s son Marius was also in attendance.
Best in National Wear
Crown Princess Mette-Marit
I know it Tradition wear and Mette-Marit was the only one that really pulled it off. But Mette-Marit looks great in Tradition Wear and would always win in the category.
Best in Cutness
Princess Ingrid Alexandra and Prince Sverre Magnus
These two, always makes me smile. They are so cute! Ingrid has such a big personality as well as Sverre.
Best in Glad you came!
Marius Borg Høiby
You really don’t see Marius at Royal Norwegian events, he comes to Christmas but that only means 2 appearances a year. So, I am very happy he came.
Best on the Balcony
Queen Sonja
Queen Sonja brought out a red version of the Nobel Prize awards hat. But even though she did just change the colour, she looks great!
Worst on the Balcony
Crown Princess Mette-Marit
Mette-Marit brought out a Princess Maxima turban style hat. Which I am not fond of.
It has been a year since Catherine Middleton married Prince William of Wales in a ceremony on April 29, 2011 at Westminster Abbey in London. Since then she has wowed us with her style. Here are my favourites of her first year as a duchess:
Casual Wear
In Canada Day 6
Casual looks are hard to chose since they are casual. I liked them all (like I do with all Kate’s clothes) yet, I liked when Kate was in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories while visiting Canada in July of 2011.
Coats
All of them!
I love every single jacket Kate has worn. I would love to buy all these coats ASAP. My all time favourite jackets would be at Garter Day, in Calgary, Canada, Zara Phillips’s Wedding, Christmas, and in Liverpool.
Dresses
In Canada Day 4 and Attending African Cats
I love all of Kate’s dresses, I would love to wear all of them but, I can’t. I know I only put a ribbon on only one dress but I realized I liked 2 so I am just going with that.
Best Skirts
In the US Day 12
Kate has only worn 2 skirts in her marriage with William. Since I didn’t like the Military inspired outfit, I liked the other one that she wore in the US.
Earrings
At National Memorial Arboretum Appeal
I love all of the earrings Kate has ever worn. My favourite would be to the National Memorial Arboretum Appeal Gala.
Evening Dresses
At the ARK 10th Anniversary Gala Dinner
I love ever single evening dress Kate has ever worn but my favourites would be the one where she wore to the ARK 10th Anniversary Gala Dinner and at the Military Sun Awards and to the premiere of War Horse.
Anne attended Day 2 and Day 4. Sadly she didn’t bring her A-game. She did wear a hat Zara wore last year (left).
Best Coats – Zara Division
Best Hats – Zara Division
Worst of Oh Boy & Worst Repeats
Well, first the scarf. I don’t like that scarf (worn in Christmas of 2010). Next, the hat (first worn at Christmas 2011) and many days after that.
Plus, Oh Snap! Camilla wore Diana’s Necklace. Well, she isn’t wearing a dead woman’s necklace. (Well she is) But, the pendant was a gift to all of the Princesses of Wales. First given to Queen Alexandra (if I am not mistaken) and then to all the Princesses of Wales after that. (And possibly to the Duchess of Cambridge?) Diana just added the emerald to it.
Best of the Best
Best in Wee-Little ones
Worst in Mix & Match
Ok. One of my favourite columns. Ok Sonja wore to much Fur. Margrethe just didn’t look nice! A plaid top, bright pink under-shirt, and a capri skirt. Anne looks not great but, not terrible. Camilla wore something totally crazy. And Mette-Marit wore too much Black.
Worst in Huh?
'
Well, Zara first of all. It Fashionable and trendsetting. And I love the hat, but, not with that outfit. And look at the clutch. Well, Eugenie got me puzzled. A red clutch & Hat and a Gray Jacket um…no.
Ok, So, Sweden let me down :( but, Norway made me better :).
Queen Sonja of Norway
Ok: I did like Mette-Marit’s. Victoria’s was ok and Silvia, I didn’t like the dress she wore back in 2010.
Crown Princess Victoria
I was extremely saddened by Victoria. She had so many good years for the last 3 years.
Of course, the tiaras I talked about yesterday that I hated. They wore :(
I thought this was so adorable. And they were mostly holding hands the whole time of the Ceremony. :)
Well as I said before that I really didn’t like Silvia’s Dress, the first time around. I extremely loved Maria’s the first time around, so she won.
Oh, Mette-Marit. Why? It’s bad enough that you copied by with that dress. Oh! Why did Valentino make that? Oh!
