I love this on Victoria. Beautiful color on her.
I think Victoria looks lovely in this dress - which queen Silvia wore in 1980.

I see it differently, super matronly/dowdy. But a good choice for the visit.

I think the ponytail is all about practicality - it's easy to do by yourself & goes fairly quickly.
I remember Hillary Clinton saying something along those lines when she had hers during her time as a Foreign secretary - quick, looks nice, no hair in the face & you can do it by yourself.
Hey it's all about those 5 seconds! She probably has people coming at her with info on this place, these people, who's who, etc. Getting your grooming finished sooner rather than later is a gift and more to the point, she can concentrate on what people are yapping about while she does it!I love this dress, except for the scarf part. As much as the DM loves to go on about outfits being recycled because they are worn 3 times, the Swedes are the recycling champs!
I agree that Victoria needs a new hair style. While I do appreciate that it is out of her face and not full of extensions, she looks so severe and matronly with her hair always pulled back like that. A few inches off, maybe some soft layers and highlights would do wonders. And she could still keep enough length for the awesome Swedish tiara hair. But I bet she can whip her hair into a bun in about 5 seconds
First let me say that I love that she is wearing her mother's dress, that is very special. Secondly, the dress looks fabulous on her, the cut is wonderful and her figure looks top notch. I say go shopping in her mother's closet more often (except that bat-wing dress she wore to the Nobel ceremony, that needs to be burned).
