As promised, state visit season has kicked off, and the Norwegian royal family welcomed the President of India yesterday.
It's a standard Mette-Marit move for a standard Mette-Marit outfit, including a repeated textured coat in a mauve/lavender color and dark hosiery, with some serious earrings. She seems to have saved her surprises for the evening's state banquet, at which she wore a sort of a cape. A CAPE!

The dress is bespoke Pucci.#PresidentMukherjee at State Banquet in Royal Palace, Oslo pic.twitter.com/ggYSHXGK8k
— President of India (@RashtrapatiBhvn) October 14, 2014Well, you know me. Any hint of a CAPE and I'm all in, no matter how much it looks like a simple shawl in peril of falling right off. I declare it an excellent start to our tiara-filled season!Photos: MSN Video, Ragnar Singsaas via Getty Images
