On April 18, 2026, King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia of Sweden attended a ball celebrating the 100th anniversary of the Swedish Air Force. The jubilee ball took place at Uppsala Castle and was hosted by the Chief of the Air Force, Major General Jonas Wikman. Around 600 guests gathered for a banquet in the grand state hall. For the occasion, Queen Silvia wore a velvet gown by Maknam.

  1. As far as one can see, Silvia looks elegant and beautiful. Regal!
    I think the blond lady should have chosen a different dress which flatters her bodytype better.

    1. Shouldn't be too difficult for her, she has an "easy" bodytype.

    2. MaryT, you mean because she is so thin? Look at the shoulders and bust. This dress does her no favour.

    The queens gown is a pretty colour, wish I could see more of it. Now the brown dress, although the lady is thin, it doesn’t fit nicely. A bit too long, tight around the hips shows imperfections. Could use a necklace on the open area. Despite having a lovely figure for an older lady I personally would not wear this type of dress solely because it shows too much crepe skin. Kudos to her for being comfortable doing so.

  3. La robe en velours de la Reine aurait mérité d’être mieux vu ; la dame blonde a une belle silhouette dans ce style de robe !

      I agree! The full uniform is spectacular and he wears it very well.

  5. Must give the King mention, doesn't he look wonderful! This uniform fits perfectly, he looks so well attired and groomed.
    From what can be seen, the Queen's velvet gown looks to be lovely. I like the gold necklace she chose.
    The blond lady's dress, I don't find attractive, nor her grooming, her hair is lank and lacking in style. The deep slope of her neckline would look better with a necklace. The fit is very off here, not sure if its coming from the thigh area or hip! Hem is hanging on the ground.

    I'd like to see more of Queen Silvia's dress. I like the blonde woman's dress. It suits her and her great figure.

    Both are looking stunning. The King looks great in uniform. like the gown a lot from what one can see. It seems Q Elizabeth II was not the only one who had a Centenary Anniversary, The Swedish Royal Air Force as well.

    I think both ladies look good. The King looks in a good mood, and is dapper as usual, he has a lot to look forward to these days, with his 8oth birthday coming up! I wish we could have seen a picture from inside the Castle, that State Hall i beautiful.
