On September 19, 2025, King Carl Gustaf and Queen Silvia attended the anniversary concert at Berwaldhallen in Stockholm to mark the 100th anniversary of Sveriges Radio (Sweden’s Radio). Sveriges Radio first broadcast on January 1, 1925—a relay of High Mass from St James’s Church in Stockholm. The broadcaster was officially renamed Sveriges Radio in 1957.
Magnifica gonna per Silvia, indossa tutto molto bene.
ReplyDeleteStunning silver Silvia. Such an elegant lady. I bet she’s rocking the flat shoes under that magnificent skirt and then I wonder, who would ever choose the discomfort of heels under such a skirt when flats are hidden and just as cute? King also very dapper indeed.
ReplyDeleteProperly fitted high heels, made of quality materials, are not uncomfortable *at all* to a lot of us. I find so many “dressy” flats uncomfortable, and some are downright painful. Everyone’s feet are different, and everyone gets to choose their own footwear. Can we all stop with the criticism of footwear based on one’s perception of whether it’s unhealthy or painful?? Criticize the color or the style (I know many dislike TMs Q. Mathilde’s and Q. Maxima’s shoes with the clear inserts because of how they look, for example), but I for one am quite tired of the armchair podiatrists’ lectures.
DeleteQueen Silvia has had foot surgery for Hallux Valgus not too long ago. Based on that knowledge, some of us might comment on her choice of footwear now because of that. I don't think that this should be perceived as "criticism" of any size of heels she (or any other lady featured on this blog; I also think of Queen Letizia in that regard) might choose or not.

DeleteHey 17:43, it was my own wonderment hence the wording “I wonder”. Not an armchair podiatrist but my fashion opinion. Also not a criticism. I think it’s a completely fair fashion subject and I enjoy the ideas around it in the comments on this blog.
DeleteQueen Silvia looks stunning! The second picture is very cute, how they look at each other. I can only admire the good posture of King Carl Gustaf in his tuxedo.
ReplyDeleteYes, how they look at each other - the Kind seldom does something like this, first: smiling and second: smiling while looking at his fabulous wife!
DeleteThe wide stiff skirts are really in everywhere. Both ladies are quite elegant in my view.
ReplyDeleteWow vey nice
ReplyDeleteMagnifique tenue de la reine Sulvia
ReplyDeleteSilvia och kungen verkade uppskatta Benjamin Ingrosso extra mycket!
ReplyDeleteWow Queen Silvia's skirt and little jacket are really something extra ordinary. What a beautiful color and shape. Pure elegance and good taste.
ReplyDeleteGetting soft knees out of pure enthusiasm about Silvia's outfit ... yes, quite a wide and stiff skirt, but so well balanced by the soft curves of that admirable little jacket.
ReplyDeleteSilvia looks very elegant - lovely style and color for her outfit.

Thanks Kim. It was a strange sensation to read her criticism of my simple wondering out loud regarding something inane as shoes. I’m not sure why people get so fired up here and tell others what to do!
DeleteWonderful ensemble on Queen Silvia.
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic look for Queen Silvia.

One word stunning. The Queen as elegant as ever and the King as stylish as ever. They are just a wonderful couple, they complement each other perfectly. Always have always will.
