Royal Style Duel: Mary vs. Victoria

Yet another thing I'm way late in covering: another royal twin appearance!

Mary sported this gown first in white at Victoria's private pre-wedding party, followed by Victoria herself in the gray version while on duty with Willem-Alexander:

You think Victoria and Mary had a little fashion chat at the party? That's the scenario I'm going with, just because the picture of a couple of princesses sneaking off for a bit of girl talk makes me smile.

This, of course, is from Malene Birger:

Now, here's something I thought might be fun: let's put it to a style duel and see who wore it best! Cast your vote below:

Week in Review: Crown Princess Mary, 19 - 25 September

Here's what Crown Princess Mary wore the week of 19-25 September:

1.  Accepting the keys to their new home, 21 September.  I adore this repeated Malene Birger coat (and love that she's able to use it both for maternity and non-maternity wear) but what I love even more is that little Isabella got her own mini-bouquet.  Aww.

Week in Review: Crown Princess Mary, 5-11 September

Here's what Crown Princess Mary wore the week of 5-11 September:

1.  With the Danish Refugee Council, 5 September.  The Malene Birger top looks a little big here, but I love the draping.
2. Gala evening for the Danish Refugee Council, 5 September.  Repeated dress.
3. Premiere of Eksperimentet at Dagmar Teatrat, 7 September. 
4. Opening the Buster film festival, 9 September.  Love this combination!
5. Charity dinner for the World Wildlife Federation, 9 September.

Best and Worst of the Week

Oh, I love a purple dress.  If I could change one thing, I'd take those leafy things off (they remind me of the stuck on adornment of the dresses that Victoria lent during her wedding, and I don't think they're necessary), but I love the rest enough to make up for it.  Speaking of unnecessary adornment, let's move on to the yellow dress.  All that froufiness at the top is just adding bulk, and the leopard accessories are overdoing it.

Week in Review: Crown Princess Mette-Marit, 15-21 August

Here's what Crown Princess Mette-Marit wore the week of 15-21 August:

1.  Presenting awards at a beach volleyball tournament, 15 August, a) in action and b) the Malene Birger top as modeled.  Looks better on M-M, no?
2. At a fashion show, 17 August, a) the Valentino shoes on display and b) in action.  SHOES!  I heart them.  Who cares about the dress.
3. Ingrid Alexandra's first day of school, 19 August.

Best and Worst of the Week

Hot shoes vs. an excessively large coat.  No contest.
