On the evening of 29 September 2026, King Carl Gustaf, Queen Silvia, Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel, Prince Carl Philip, Princess Sofia, Princess Madeleine and Christopher O’Neill attended a concert by the Stockholm Philharmonic Orchestra at Stockholm Concert Hall. The concert was held on the occasion of the opening of the 2026/27 Riksdag session (Swedish Parliament).
For the occasion, Queen Silvia wore a mist-blue silk coat dress by Georg et Arend. She also wore this coat dress at Prince Gabriel’s christening in 2017. Crown Princess Victoria wore a floral dress by Acne Studios. Princess Madeleine wore a lace-trimmed floral satin midi dress by British brand Self-Portrait. Princess Sofia wore a silk maxi dress in a shade somewhere between chocolate brown and dark Bordeaux by Danish brand Day Birger et Mikkelsen.
Sofia wins here, along with the Queen. In this case, less is more
ReplyDeleteThey most often do! I think so too. Very elegant.
DeleteAbsolutely agree with you about Princess Sofia. Elegant and gorgeous. However, I don’t like the shiny fabric of the Queen’s outfit at all. The two floral dresses are okay but not the best imo
DeleteMadde wins here.
ReplyDeleteÄr prinsessan Sofia SD?
ReplyDeleteMais que veut dire SD ?
DeleteQueen Silvia regularly appears in the same outfits for the events which take place every year, but she really manages to look elegant and chique at her age.
ReplyDeleteThe black dresses with big flowers of her daughters remind me of the dresses worn by gypsy women. Gypsy women also wear scarfs with red flowers printed on a plain black ground. The best outfit is Princess Sofia's aubergine dress or skirt and blouse ? The model's shirt or bodice looks different than Princess Sofia's. Also the colour is different but difficult to see and could be influenced by the sharp light of the cameras. Christopher O'Neill never smiles.
It’s not true that Christopher doesn’t smile .. we’ve seen him smiling recently in pics here … but he smiles less in press photos than the others in the family (except the King, who also isn’t a big smiler for the photographers). But I was actually looking at him thinking how much more comfortable he now appears in this role, and that he is looking healthier than some years back. I think he’s doing great.

DeleteThank you!
That rich wine/brown color looks fantastic on Princess Sofia!
ReplyDeleteLove the queen in silver! She looks lovely. Love the color and cut of Princess Sofia's gown. Diane
ReplyDeleteI like how Chris is matching the colours of Madeleine!
ReplyDeleteOn Carl Philip I think the trousers could have been a few centimeters longer - but he's always well dressed. Daniel seems to have his eternal favourite in the blue suits.. Sofia looked really chic in this.
I am a big Silvia fan - but so much shiny grey ... like packed up in *and* shiny grey - a bit like packed up in kitchen foil or poured over with liquid silver. I don't think it is good for anybody. - If I have to choose a winner,, then it is Victoria's dress - minus the extremely high neckline. So unflattering in general and even more for such a long dress. I don't like Madeleine's (big flower directed at her crotch area and too much flowers and lace and whatnot) and also not Sofia's gown (a sad one, even if shiny). So nothing really good here for me ...
ReplyDeleteAgree with all your points. I don't need to comment, all said here. Thank you
DeleteI don’t love the Self Portrait dress. For me with the beautiful fabric it would be very glamourous, or throw in one fancy extra - but the lace on the hem and the flounced hem shaping and the puffed sleeve and the neck tie is much too much too much. I love the other three royal women’s outfits, each very nice in themselves but above all suiting the wearer very well. Victoria is becoming a poster child for me in finding motivation to train my muscles more as I age. She is in fabulous shape. Note to self: find a personal trainer to marry ;-)
ReplyDeleteCrown princess Victoria looks fantastic and ofcourse her mother HM Queen Silvia.
ReplyDeleteSofia for me is not the best with this brown and slinky fabric. Yes this is the style and she has the figure for it, however not necessarily a fit. The queen always well dressed, and the two princess have well fitting dresses. Chris thank you for combing your hair. The king as always impeccable fit.
ReplyDeleteI agree. Too much fabric and too much hanging hair all in an extremely dull colour
DeleteI like Victoria’s outfit the best. It is a bold floral, but somehow is not overwhelming, I think due to the black background, sleevelessness, and the side slit. I dislike bothSofia and Madeleine’s dresses: the color, slinky fabric, and button-down-shirt look of Sofia’s is not appealing to me, and Madeleine’s looks not the best with the odd fabric at the neck, the wide belt, and the netting? trim at the bottom. Silvia’s outfit is very shiny, but it looks good on her.

Loving Sofía I the silky Aubergine/chocolate dress. Gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteSofia looks tired in this colour! Q S looks great! Cpr V o Pr M also nice!
ReplyDeleteI agree not the best colour for her, it’s okay but she has worn better.
DeleteA mon avis, la robe imprimée de Madeleine lui sied à merveille !
ReplyDeleteThe slit of Victoria‘s dress is far too long and not exactly regal, which surprises me.

Sofia’s outfit is stunning; the colour suits her perfectly and it drapes beautifully on her. I also like Victoria’s dress. The slim silhouette is elegant and the dress fits her beautifully. Silvia’s dress is lovely, but I don’t think silver is the best colour for her. Warm shades suit her better. There’s too much going on with Madeleine’s dress; it does fit her well and the colour is fine, but the overall look is a bit of a mess. -Siri
