His outfit just looks far too feminine for me to like it. I think the details and pieces he's chosen might look divine on their own, but taken together it's just too pink and too frilly.Belle-Etoilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07049711327487646732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7775910475089264257.post-483813301009503642010-04-11T11:46:56.631-04:002010-04-11T11:46:56.631-04:00Perfect for its intended purpose, well thought out...Perfect for its intended purpose, well thought out as far as the mix of colors, etc.<br /><br />It's a costume.

Especially love the vest and cape materials together.<br />I agree that it doesn't flatter his build, but it is still a stunning outfit and the painter rendered it wonderfully.
