Video: Crown Princess Victoria celebrated her name day this week, with Prince Daniel and Princess Estelle.

Yes, By Malene Birger made this coat here and was also the brand behind the Bedazzled Sleeve Affair. Funny thing, when I was searching for that bedazzled one, I came across this one and thought it had a lot of potential...of course, as we usually say with Victoria, this isn't how I imagined it to be styled. I think the long gloves do help to highlight the potential this coat has for a bit of retro fabulousness, though - but you'd need a skirt, and some heels, and at least one of those things is out of the question for injured Victoria.

Victoria's outfit: By Malene Birger black and white printed coat, Efva Attling butterfly earrings, By Malene Birger white and black leather gloves (per Kungliga Modebloggen), with black trousers and black flats.

Oh well, we always have Estelle (who is also rocking some retro fabulousness, if you will, since her attire is a children's classic, a style that has been and will be worn for decades). Do you need to see a video of her dancing at this event? It's Friday, of course you do. Click here.

P.S.: If you'd like to discuss Mathilde in Britain, head on over to the Jewel Vault!

Video: Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel visited Paris last week to open a Carl Larsson exhibit. Victoria wore a black coat from By Malene Birger with rhinestone and mirrored embellishments on the sleeves with black trousers and flats, along with a Stella McCartney clutch, Carolina Gynning necklace, and large earrings.

This coat...I don't know. This bag...I really don't know. Seems like someone's been on a Stella McCartney shopping spree (two clutches and one dress of late, at least). Not a brand that I'd call easy to wear, to say the least...should we be concerned?

Best in Regular Stuff

Crown Princess Victoria

Call this the non-trip category - and call Victoria the winner, if only for giving us at least one evening gown, even if it is a repeat and even if it is another almost-tiara-but-not occasion.

Brightest in Trips

Queen Máxima

Yesterday we caught up with the traveling Danes and Spaniards, today we have a partial selection of the Dutch on their ongoing introductory trip to the Caribbean. Máx on a big trip is usually like catnip to me, so I'm not sure why this one's left me feeling rather meh so far. Ah, well, they're not done yet. No matter what, I remain impressed at her ability to dig up so many neon-flavored outfits.

And an Honorable Mention to...

The Hats of National Day in Monaco

Video, above

Charlene's coat is giving me Star Trek bathrobe vibes, but you have to give the Monaco crew: those were some actual hats. All hats or no hats, no fascinator shenanigans here.

And One Last Addition...

The Countess of Wessex

Video, above

So much going on right now, I nearly forgot to give Sophie her proper due for rocking her Benjamin Button fabulousness in Valentino red while celebrating Doctor Who at Buckingham Palace. Do you think if I wrote to the palace really nicely, I could get her secret for de-aging? Because I'm just getting older over here, and it's not fair.

Who was your best dressed last week?
