Princess Ingrid Alexandra went for reuse at her own party. Wearing a dress Crown Princess Mette-Marit wore for the first time in 2005, the princess put the lead for the rest of the evening. – It sends an important signal. Perhaps especially since she chose very expensive luxury design during the government celebration on Deichman Thursday. Wearing her mother’s Alberta Ferretti dress, she meets in the middle of the spirit of the times, says Ida Elise Einarsdóttir, fashion editor of the magazine KK.

That it is something more than a trend is clear, says Einarsdóttir. She refers to, among others, the Minister of Justice Emilie Enger Mehl, who had sewn her own dress. Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Støre also went for reuse, and told news with satisfaction that he was wearing his grandfather’s suit.

She is a potentially very good ambassador for Norwegian fashion, Einarsdóttir believes. – All eyes on her Celebrity stylist Marianne Jemtegård was in no doubt about what she thinks about tonight’s choice of dress: – This is a good picture that our future heir to the throne is truly a princess of her time. I think it’s great to see you make conscious choices. And then it should only be missing that you wear such beautiful dresses more than just once, says Jemtegård to news.

The princess will be the first Norwegian queen in modern times, so all eyes are naturally on her, says the fashion editor. She therefore thinks it is gratifying that the princess is inspired by her grandmother and mother.
