Jewelry

Earrings

 (Left to right: Charlotte Casiraghi (Moanco), Queen Silvia of Sweden, Princess Marie of Denmark)

 All of the earrings designs are very nice, they are well put together and they look beautiful. Like always, I would totally wear all those earrings.

Rings

Princess Madeleines's engagement ring, it is a really nice ring (Christopher has good taste, hold onto him Madeleine ;)).

Hair

(Left to right: Charlotte Casiraghi (Monaco), Princess Caroline of Moanco, Princess Lalla Salma of Morroco)

 (Left to right: Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway, Infanta Elena of Spain, Princess Letizia of Spain)

 Charlotte looks great in that hat, and with those curls! I've never seen Caroline's hair look that good (which can be a good or bad thing). Lalla Salma's hair is amazing just the way it is. How many red heads are there in the royal familes? Not a whole lot. Mette-Marit's hair looks good, like always. Elena's hair looks fantasic. And, it's nice to see Letizia's hair curly.

Hats, Part 1

 (Left to right: Princess Haya of Jordan)

 (Left to right: Charlotte Casiraghi (Monaco), Princess Letizia of Spain, and Queen Silvia of Sweden)

 Part 1 of the hats because there are a lot of other people with hats. Haya's hats are crazy, yet, I love them. Charlotte's hat is cute and suits her hair. Letizia's hat is large, and simple. While, Silvia's hat is tiny but fits her outfit and other accessories.

 Hats, Part 2

 The Countess of Wessex's hats range, they can be large, they can be small, they can be crazy, they can be simple. Long story short, her hats are amazing! Amazing doesn't even fit what her hats are, it's a way larger, cooler word but that's the only one I can think of.

 Hats, Part 3

(Left to Right: Birgitte, Duchess of Gloucester, Lady Sophie Windsor, Princess Eugenie of York)

 (Left to right: Princess Eugenie of York, Princess Michael of Kent, and Anne, Princess Royal)

 Like what I said about Sophie's hats, they are big, small, crazy simple. That's what the whole British
 family hats are like.

 Hats, Part 4

 This year was a great year for Queen Elizabeth II and Zara Phillips. Being, the Queen's Diamond Jubilee, and Zara getting a silver medal at the Olympics (also in England).

 



Royal Fashion Awards: Diamond Jubilee Celebrations Part 1- Greet

Best of the Day

Queen Elizabeth II

I have to give this award to Elizabeth, with 60 years of good service to England, she has to be awarded this.

Best in Beatrix

Queen Beatrix of the Netherlands

To tell you the truth, I actually like this one. It has an oversized shirt (Not a big fan) and pointy shoes (Yuck!) but, Beatrix looks good in it.

Best in Traditional

Empress Michiko of Japan

I would be hard wearing traditional clothing all the time. And with Japan with their wooden shoes, I would not survive. I have to give Michiko credit!

Worst in Usual

Queen Paola of Belgium

Purple over here, a ruffle over there. It was the normal Paola at the greet. But, they way it looks isn’t terrible.

Best in Great!

ex-Queen Anne-Marie of Greece

For a queen being 65 years old, she looks fantastic! I love the dress style and the accessories she wore too.

Worst in Shinny

Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg

Maria Teresa looks ok. But it looked better the first time around.

Worst in Margrethe

Queen Margrethe of Denmark

Margrethe chose the usual outfit, a suit in a ugly colour. And with a odd material.

Best in Smiley

Queen Silvia of Sweden

Silvia looks very happy, and why shouldn't she? Her first granddaughter, Estelle is getting christened in 4 days.

Best in Fabulous!

Queen Rania of Jordan

Queen Rania looks good as she usually does. I want to have that shirt it looks great!

Best in her Usual self

Duchess of Cambridge

Catherine wowed, as usual. And in a very pretty colour!

Worst in White

Countess of Wessex

Sophie looks good, as she always does. But her jacket is un-flattering. And the waist of her dress looks very odd.

What a Wonderful Surprise!

Princess Beatrice and Princess Eugenie

I was very happy when I saw the pictures of Beatrice and Eugenie here. They look great especially Beatrice!
