Caroline von Hannover had this detail of her dress modified

There are wonderful photos that reach us on the evening of the national holiday from Monaco. Above all, Princess Caroline, 65, enchants in a dark blue evening gown with a flowing cut and accentuated waist. Crafted from a semi-sheer fabric, this dress with puff sleeves and a V-neckline is a creation from Chanel’s Fall/Winter 2019 collection.

But if you take a closer look at the original runway cut of the dress, you will notice that the décolleté is a lot deeper than in the Monegasque version. It seems as if Caroline preferred a less revealing look for the evening and had the dress modified without further ado.

When it comes to earrings, nobody can fool Queen Máxima

Queen Máxima, 51, attends the presentation of the annual report of the Dutch Committee for Entrepreneurs and Finance in The Hague. For the occasion, she chooses a chic check patterned dress by Natan Couture, which she combines with high leather boots by Stella McCartney and a matching clutch by Bottega Veneta.

But her look doesn’t focus on the dress or the shoes, but rather her earrings. The Dutch queen wears long earrings with small hibiscus flowers in white from Coolook. A pair that really stands out and creates a nice contrast to the rest of the outfit.

When looking at Máxima’s looks, it’s always noticeable that earrings are an absolute statement piece for her and the bigger and more colorful they are, the better. With the beautiful pieces of jewelry, she always gives her looks a special twist and shows that her style secret lies in the often not so small details.

Mafalda of Bulgaria at Women of the Year Awards

Mafalda of Bulgaria, 28, is one of those royals who rarely make the headlines. The 28-year-old lives a very exciting life. She is a singer, so she has built her own mainstay far away from her name and the wealth of her family. At the “Women of the Year” awards from “Harper’s Bazaar” in Madrid, she once again shows her idiosyncratic style.

She strolled down the red carpet in a low-cut robe with a knot detail in the chest area. A silver chain with a tassel pendant dangles from her neckline. A special eye-catcher, however, is their styling. The 28-year-old artist wears her hair in a pair of eccentric ’90s-style buns, the ends of which are spiked outwards. Her make-up is in silvery tones, her lips are emphasized with a light pink gloss.

Queen Rania of Jordan draws everyone’s attention in a purple dream robe

Queen Rania, 52, beams in a purple robe at a state banquet as part of the visit of HRH Queen Silvia, 78, and King Carl Gustav, 76, to Amman. Together with her husband King Abdullah II bin al-Hussein, she welcomes the Swedish guests to a dinner at the Al Husseiniya Palace. The 52-year-old is wearing the purple balloon-sleeved chiffon gown for the first time, designed by designer Andrew Gn. She combines this with a black clutch by Bottega Veneta and wears her hair half open. The queen shares pictures of the evening on Instagram, where she laughs heartily. In the dream robe with a decorated belt, she rightly attracts everyone’s attention.

Catherine, Princess of Wales: Is Her New Brooch a Birthday Present From Prince William?

Catherine, Princess of Wales, 40, looks very muted to mark Remembrance Sunday, which commemorates members of the armed forces who fell in the world wars. She is wearing a black Catherine Walker coat dress and a dark hat on this special day. Three Remembrance Poppies are attached to the dress, as well as a brooch that draws special attention.

The rectangular brooch is a special piece of jewelry by Bentley & Skinner, which was made around 1920.

Because it is a piece of jewelery from Bentley & Skinner, which is said to have cost around 14,500 pounds (about 16,500 euros). The diamond-studded brooch was made around 1920 and is in the classic Art Deco style. According to the jeweler, the diamonds total 4.5 carats. Pieces of jewelery in this price segment are usually only given away on special occasions, after all, the royal family’s jewelery collection is actually large enough.

Because the item was sold in January this year, it could well be that the beautiful pin was a birthday present from Prince William, 40, to his wife; Kate’s birthday falls on January 9th. Was the expensive piece of jewelry really a gift for her 40th birthday? Only the two of them know that (yet)…
