The Royal Wardrobe: 5 fabulous fashion moments

High neck blouses and bold colours was where the Royal Wardrobe was at this week. It all felt quite wintry so it must be January and the overall effect was understated elegance with a few little flourishes thrown in for good measure.  Here are 5 looks that caught the eye this week.

Queen Mathilde isn't the first royal to try the high neck bow blouse this year or even the first one to try it in dark green (see Queen Maxima last week) but she is the first to have to add a name badge and still make it look stunning. Add in an on trend A line skirt and big hair and you have a winner of a look. Birthday girl, Mathilde, rules this week.

Queen Rania of Jordan has shown us some stunning outfits this week but for understated with wow factor, this white blouse and beige trousers combo takes a lot of beating. The palazzo pants are classic, the blouse is beautiful and the overall effect is total elegance.

Princess Charlene of Monaco wore white for her visit to the Vatican this week - privilege du blanc. And her cream coat was about as perfect as you can get.

Princess Sofia gave us a maternity cocktail dress with jacket effect and scored a hit. Her black and white outfit for an awards ceremony in Stockholm was smart, sleek and sophisticated.

Queen Sonja celebrated 25 years on the throne this week and for her late afternoon appearance on Jubilee Day, for a concert in Oslo, she chose a very regal royal blue coat with black hat. It was a total winner of a look and crowned Sonja as a style icon of the week.
