Inauguration Of King Willem Alexander of the Netherlands
There was yet more fashion to be had from our favourite royals, who joined Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser al Missned at the inauguration of King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands yesterday afternoon.
Crown Princess Mette-Marit of Norway: Valentino would be considered one of Crown Princess Mette-Marit’s favourite designers, so I was not surprised to see her don one of their looks for this festivity. Her Fall 2013 white-and-blue gown featuring beaded embroidery, which was presented as a mini dress, was decorated with royal family orders and accessorized with another delightfully subtle tiara featuring ivory-and-blue lace floral accents.
Crown Princess Mary of Denmark: My queen opted for a Charlotte Lynggaard white silk dress with a floral print on the skirt and waist, which she styled with the same Prada pumps and Bottega Veneta clutch. On this occasion, she added a blue netted fascinator instead of the more traditional tiara. While this might be considered fairly laidback, she is the epitome of elegance.
Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall: Many of you will no doubt consider this look much improved over Sunday night’s look. Camilla wore a duck-egg-blue long-sleeved gown, which was her second Bruce Oldfield look of these festivities. The beaming duchess topped off her look with a Philip Treacy feathered hat. She does love a big headpiece.
Princess Mabel of Orange-Nassau: Like Camilla, Mabel opted to wear the same designer she wore to the dinner, donning a Viktor & Rolf black gown with a white bow accented sleeve. While sheâs proving to be quite the fashion risk taker, I donât love this look for an occasion where everyone else is wearing such summery frocks.
Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden: Looking effortlessly chic in a beaded keyhole Escada frock, I love the scene-stealing Philip Treacy hat.
Crown Princess Letizia of Spain: Faring much better, Letizia was the epitome of elegance, wearing a pale-blue lace Varela gown with sheer sleeves. The simple yet stunning creation was styled with Margriet sandals and a Maria Nieto hat.
