On December 10, 2025, King Carl XVI Gustaf, Queen Silvia, Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel, Prince Carl Philip, Princess Madeleine, and Christopher O’Neill attended the traditional Nobel Prize banquet in the Blue Hall of Stockholm City Hall. Alongside the members of the Royal Family, the prize winners and their families, as well as representatives from the Swedish Government and the Riksdag parties, also attended the banquet.
For the occasion, Queen Silvia wore Queen Sofia’s Nine-Prong Tiara with the Bernadotte Emerald Parure, and the Sash and Star of the Order of the Seraphim. Princess Victoria wore the Baden Fringe Tiara with the Sash and Star of the Order of the Seraphim. Madeleine wore the Aquamarine Kokoshnik Tiara with the Sash and Star of the Order of the Seraphim.
Beautiful Queen and Princesses! They all look lovely! MR
ReplyDeleteAgreed….beautiful gowns, stunning jewels, and gorgeous royal ladies!
DeleteMadeleine est fabuleuse
ReplyDeleteQ and the two p so wonderful!
ReplyDeleteUpon seeing the second set of photos from the evening, I must say that I like Victoria´s dress better, Madeleine´s dress less, and Silvia´s dress a lot less.
ReplyDeleteVictoria looks less pale here, and her dress is a great sculptural design. I just wish the belt had been black and her lips had been red.
Madeleine chose a rather romantic, princessy look again. Her hair is styled similarly princessy, and I like it, but I would have preferred a soft updo. The reason why I like her dress less here is the pointy shoulders which I didn´t see in the photos from the award ceremony.
Silvia´s dress has a regal silhouette, but when seen from the front, it´s not very flattering. The two different textures bother me, and they clash in colour. The skirt with its folds and creases isn´t my cup of tea either. The mustard yellow colour also isn´t the best, but at least she did choose a colour. The group photo would otherwise be rather black-and-white.
Nice analysis Vanessa. Enjoyed your thoughts. Madeleine is superb but Victoria is fascinating and superb. The two Swedish princesses have marvellous postures which makes any outfit 10x more beautiful!
DeleteGreat look for everyone. The Queen brings a little sparkle to the gowns with the golden color. Just wonder what Sofias gown would have looked like. Sadly, she is missing the whole event.

There's a lot to love here. Victoria's dress is stunning. What a wonderful & exciting design, I love it! Now, is it the best match for the sash? Probably not, but points for not just slapping it on but basically making it a design feature.
ReplyDeleteSilvia's dress reminds me of something out of Queen Sonia's gown. It's not terrible but not my favourite. Definitely prefer it without the shawl. Bonus for bringing some colour to the event.
Madeleine is Madeleine. It's very princess-y & she knows it suits her. I feel like we've seen this dress or variations thereof multiple times before.
We for sure had more exciting Nobel looks in the past, but this is solid.

Madeleine´s dress is a reward from 2023 and it is designed by Jenny Packham. Doesn´t P Kate have a similar one?
DeleteCP Victoria is looking very beautiful but not her dress. Sorry the dress is too special for my taste. I wonder if it is not a remake from another black and white dress she has worn at an earlier Noble Prize event.
ReplyDeleteCurious as to whether the Queen has a hair piece to make this style. The reason I ask is because I saw a photo a few years back with same style. This is not a negative just curious
ReplyDeleteElles sont toutes magnifiques divinement bien coiffées - La robe originale de Victoria a ma préférence ; j’aimerais bien connaître le nom de son créateur !
