Top 10 Worst Dressed Royal Wedding Guests: #2. Oh, Mabel.

2.  Princess Mabel at the Wedding of Crown Princess Victoria and Daniel Westling

I know, I know. You've only just now recovered from the sight of this "dress" a mere two months ago.  It's quite possibly the most obvious entry for the countdown.  But it's such an aggregious error in judgement, there's no way it wasn't making this list. 

I think it's gotten worse since June, what do you think?  Two months ago I was mainly preoccupied with the trouser situation, but now I find myself especially appalled by the top - it's awfully low cut and tight in addition to the strapless action, no?

I want to know who's behind this infamous creation.  I mean, I know Viktor & Rolf designed it.  But something about the smile on Mabel's face makes me think the ballerina-by-night/executive-by-day idea was hers.  She's just such a smug kitten, isn't she?

Mabel Defys the Laws of Fashion Mathematics

You'd think if a royal was attending a function alongside a designer, the laws of fashion mathematics would go into effect, and the transitive property of good style would result in a fashion win for said royal.

But you'd be wrong. This is Princess Mabel of the Netherlands, sandwiched in between designers Viktor & Rolf, attending the AmsterdamDiner. Naturally, she's wearing one of their creations, a black version of a style seen in their Pre-Fall 2010 collection:

Perhaps I could get over the baggy shape, and the skirt that is far too short for a woman who is both a royal and a mother, if it weren't for the shoes.

Also, the black stockings. Fashion mathematics has failed us.
