Week in Review: Princess Letizia, 20-26 February

Here's what Letizia wore from 20-26 February:

1.  Lunch for the President of Israel, 22 February. Her hair looks great, it's a color, she's not under-dressed in the least, and yet...I don't like it. Somehow I feel like it ought to smell of mothballs (no, that doesn't make sense to me either). Man, I'm impossible to please.
2. Opening University General Hospital "Santa Lucia", 23 February. Not bad, not remarkable. A little Grandma-esque with the shoes.
3. Attending the XI Edition of Business Night, 26 February. This may be black, but I like a ruffled blouse under a blazer.

Best and Worst of the Week

I've decided to judge this week on shoes only. (If this surprises you, you must be new to the blog. Welcome!) On the left, we have the snakeskin shoes from outfit 3 as worn previously in 2004; on the right, the shoes from outfit 1. She must own these mauve shoes in every color available, plus a few custom colors. Enough already! What's with the need to match the shoes to the outfit? (I've complained about this before, and I reserve the right to complain about it in the future.) I much prefer the contrast of the stiletto snakeskins, with no platform in sight. And that's how the only black outfit of the week becomes my best, and the only colorful one becomes my worst.

Are you as bothered by the matching shoes as I am, or am I alone out here?

Things That Make You Go Hmm...: Crooked?

Thanks to avid speculation that Prince William and Kate Middleton would be attending the wedding of Lady Katie Percy (daughter of the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland) and Patrick Valentine this weekend, we've got loads of photos of an awfully grand country wedding to delight in and shake our heads at.

Kate and Wills may have been a no-show, but Pippa Middleton and Chelsy Davy turned up to give the photographers something to snap:

(Confession: I love Pippa's coat thing. Not the rest of the outfit, just that one part.)

Now, the point of my post: the bride. Normally, I wouldn't pick on a bride here unless they're actually royal. I mean, it just doesn't seem sporting. But...it has to be said:

WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH THAT TIARA? It's crooked! And it was crooked both going into the church and coming out, which leads me to think it might have been stuck on that way on purpose. (Surely her mum or her sister would have fixed her up if this was an accident?) The bride is a fairly nontraditional girl, I gather (she's a trained gunmaker, of all things), but...oh, I'm so confused.

Also: add this Bruce Oldfield gown to the reasons I hope he isn't the man for the job for Kate's big gown. It's not enough. She arrived in a carriage and the reception's at her family's castle which doubles as Hogwarts in the Harry Potter films. And this tiara is more grand than a lot of the royal wedding tiaras we see. Needs more!

Anyways, I'm done being mean to random people now. I just needed to let that out. Whew.

Royal Style Duel: Silvia vs. Marie

When Princess Marie turned up at the first gala event for Queen Margrethe's birthday celebrations last April, I was pleasantly refreshed.

Here was Marie, who usually ends up in something more suited to a Hollywood starlet, actually wearing something completely covered up and demure! And doing something different with her hair to boot! Plus, I love a crisp white dress.

And then Queen Silvia busted this repeated Yuki gown out this week:

Here's my question: when an 35-year-old woman and a 67-year-old woman sport the same style, who wins?
