Aren´t Maxima and her mother Maria del Carmen wearing the same coat/skirt? It looks completely simular and if the ladies have a simular size Maxima could pass some of her clothes on to her mother (MdC wore a hat of Maxima on a previous occassion to).
I must say that it looks better on Maria del Carmen, who is a very elegant lady IMO.

That must have been one heck of a swap party!

I haven't read the whole thread so forgive me if the question has been answered already, but has it ever happened two royal ladies going to the same event, wearing similar clothes?

Because it is something that sooner or later happens to anyone, and I was just wondering whether they might forecast something like that and call each other just to avoid it happening.

Yes. Actually Princess Caroline of Monaco and Princess Clotilde of Savoia wore similar outfits to Prince Felipe & Princess Letizia's pre-wedding ball. I think both outfits were Chanel. I wonder if Clotilde originally wanted Caroline's dress, and what her reaction was when she found out it was taken, because I'm sure Caroline (being Karl Lagerfield's BFF) got first pick.

Thanks RubyPrincess168 for your answer.

Oh my God! How absolutely embarrasing! It is the one thing you are always hopping, it will never happen to you, and definitely not in such an event.

 

[dazzling]

In my opinion, royal ladies have similar styles because they have to follow a certain dress code. I mean, they have to wear suits and/or dress formally in public. The elder generation of Royals, like the Queens, are all in suits and hats, which make them similar to one another

 

[Her_Majesty]

Mette-Marits green pregnancy-dress (worn in England 2005) reminds me a bit of this green dress of (then) Princess Sonja worn in 1969

But maybe it's just the colour

 

[pretoriana18]

Like this...from Hellomagazine...by poolfoto I think...

 

[LadyS]

I saw this picture of Princess Letizia's skirt and it reminded me of Princess Mary's dress.

Are they the same material or from the same designer or is it just a coincidence?

(I also found Christina Applegate and Rachel Griffiths have the same dress

I can't post a picture from Maria Teresa, but she was wearing the coat for the civil wedding from Prince Louis and Tessy

 

[antonieta]

Responding to your question LadyS, yes they are from the same designer, "Mary's dress and Letizia's skirt" - Hugo Boss.

Please let's stay on topic. We're comparing royal ladies and their similar style. If you're interested in comparing Hollywood actresses, please start a thread in the Celebrity Chit Chat subforum.

Thanks

 

[User0501]

I never would have believed this. Compare

Mathilde

and

Maxima

What's similar ?
And, should soemthing so appealing be allowed ?

HM Queen Elizabeth II and her mum,the late Queen Elizabeth,The Queen Mother.

 

[azile]

Really? I don't see their styles as very similar! The Queen Mother wore floating dresses in drapey chiffons and silks, usually in pastel floral patterns with very soft, veiled, feathery hats. Look at some of her Ascot fashion, just as examples: 2001 1990 and with her grandchildren

Queen Elizabeth tends to wear tailored suits and coats over dresses in brighter, stronger colours. She seldome wears all-over patterns and the silhouette is quite straight- very seldom flowing or draped. Look at some of her Ascot fashions, in comparison to her mother. 2003 2002 2003 2005 2005 2006

I think both women have their own signature style that is quite different! Maybe you have some links to images that will show similarities?

Here's a picture of Maria Teresa's Coat. (PPE)
They indeed look a bit alike.. Maybe it's the same designer?

These are very similar!
I think that MM takes inspiration from her mother-in-love

I don't know if that was a typo, but I love that expression, mother-in-love. It is so beautiful, and in my family, at least, and hopefully in MM's, it is true.

Well you took my words Lady
MM has really great relationship with Sonja
So when I was typing, my head told what it wanted
