I just wanted to add these pics, of Queen Margrethe, married in 1967, to the slender portfolio of heads of state or crown princesses on their wedding day.


Queen of Denmark


He calls her Daisy, hence the bouquet.


It's very armored, like Victoria's 2010 wedding dress, as opposed to Elizabeth's softer but encrusted 1948 dress. Margrethe seems also to be going for some high fashion '60s architectural silhouette here. There's also a panel inset down the front which deploys the eponymous princess seams. The sleeves are long like Elizabeth's and Letizia's. Girl, there is no boobage here. When you are the queen, you don't have to play that motherfuckin' hand. It's called power dressing, and it's even more effective when, like Elizabeth, you have, as a young woman, a va-va-voom figure. You may wish to compare and contrast her wedding dress with her coronation gown, also a religious garment, and carefully emrbroidered with the symbols of every nation of the commonwealth, both by Norman Hartnell.



I'd like to point out, Chelsea, that Margrethe, still slender, still married, and now famous for her red fingernails, like her near contemporary Paola of Belgium, on her wedding day went for a no makeup look.

Here is Princess Victoria's 2010 wedding makeup:



No Avril Levigne eyeliner. You'll note the No Makeup Look is a look all the Euros still rock, from our contemporary Carine Roitfeld, the iconic editrix of French Vogue, on down. You might want to check out the TV anchor chick Letizia's photogenic makeup for her 2004 wedding day: it is nearly invisible.

Jes sayin'.
