Pink perfection

There's a colour theme going on this year.  Just about every royal woman in every royal house has made a fashion statement in pink in 2014.  The latest to go rosy is Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden who has worn two not likely to miss them outfits in the colour this week alone.  Her first foray into pink saw the princess choose a fuchsia sheath dress for a prize giving in Stockholm.

But the pink trend has been going on for much of the summer.  On her visit to Poland in June 2014, Queen Maxima chose a bright pink dress with matching hat and accessories and stole the show in the process.

But the queen of pink this year has to be the Queen who chose the colour twice for her visit to Paris in June.  She was in palest pink when she opened a flower market named after her.

But it was her candy pink suit with matching hat that really turned heads in the fashion capital of the world.  Worn for her audience with French President, Francois Hollande, it was the epitome of statement outfits.  And the ultimate in pink perfection.
