The jacket looks a bit long for the skirt. I prefer the look with the coat .

I thought Queen Sonja's gown for the prewedding dinner was gorgeous! Here's a video clip that shows it full length.

I saw the same clip, mrswhitham - LOVE it!!! The dress was pretty in pictures, but I think it looks even better in the video because the flowing skirt looks so beautiful when she moves.

The gown is quite old, but indeed very beautiful. Sonja looks great in red!

Her look at the wedding:

I'm not sure I'm all that crazy about the wedding outfit. The red seems out of place in the midst of all that white. And I'm not sure it was white - it looks white in the pictures, but on TV it seemed to be more of an ivory cream color, in which case the dark red sort of clashed. Oh well. I loved her look the night before.

Luv the long red dress at the pre wedding dinner. The wedding outfit was okay. She seems to like red.

The hat seems to be the same she wore for the SV to Slovenia last week.

I thought she looked great in the first outfit but,what's with the gown?

 

[roseroyal]

I dislike the daytime outfit.
I like the evening gown- not the best but different, a striking, dramatic color combo, w/o being over the top loud. Elegant!
I love the color of MM's mother's evening gown. At least I think that is who that is( woman in blue, next to the King)

 

[Danish_Royalist]

I also dislike the daytime outfit, but I simply LOVE her gala dress. Very beautiful IMO

Love this look the best, love that shade of blue.
Dislike the hat though!
I did not care for the other 2 looks as much!

too excited about the dress/belt combination in the evening.

I only like the jacket from the second outfit.

wearing a pink evening dress, the colour is nice on her, but in some way I don't like the upper
part of the dress.

[roseroyal]

Love the color of the dress, but don't like the texture/ look of the white collar and belt.

 

[IloveCP]

I don't think it's flattering on her.
