I love heart the different viewpoints is style from different nationalities- thanks @Alondra 🙂

At least he's not in the dreaded fleeces like Prince William @Alondra!

Hmmm... there has been a distinct lack of fleeces from William recently. I wonder whether Kate has had a clear out and finally sent them to the local charity shop.

Swedish RF at a Swedish Academy event. I think Queen Silvia looks great, from what I can see, and I love CPV's velvet dress. But I wish she'd worn a bolder necklace - she's got wonderful jewels to choose from, but the necklace she's wearing looks too flimsy and insipid with the luxe velvet imo.

Thanks, @Alondra - it's interesting how different nationalities perceive events and what constitutes "dressing up". Leti looks good, just not completely to my taste.

I agree, @MotherofPearl . Plus the Swedish jewellery collection is fab!

A night at the Opera for the Swedish Royals

King, Queen CPV, PD and Kids, PCP and PS and their eldest 2 at The Royal Opera house to see the Nutcracker.

Love Princess Sofia's red coat and Prince Alexander sporting a man bun - Alexander looks very similar to CPV and Estelle

Beautiful photos of the Swedish RF. They seem to all get on well which is nice to see.

I love Sofia's red coat. The white bag, not so much.
The children look gorgeous!

@MotherofPearl perhaps CPV is letting the Swedish "medals" and sash do the talking rather than add more jewellery to the ensemble.

👋🏻

Love the various red outfits. Quite partial to red myself but have to be careful with tone iykwim.

I'm hoping for Trinnys Fearless book for Christmas as I'm definitely going to enjoy more colour and channel my inner Max

Carl Philip and Sofia have also been out and about this evening to a Christmas concert

Sofia wore a red velvet wrap dress

I love the colour and wrap style of Sofia's dress, but am less keen on the sleeves.

Eaumyword · 22/12/2023 08:10

Love that luxe velvet dress, really gorgeous. Don't like the puffy sleeves though.

Aye. I agree.

Fourecks · 22/12/2023 21:03

I wonder if Leti is also being careful not to wear something too attention-grabbing on a day meant to focus on someone else.

Papergirl1968 · 22/12/2023 21:41

I like Sofia's dress. I don't think it's a puffy sleeve....It's the bearded man behind her wearing a red jacket, no?

Eaumyword · 22/12/2023 22:11

Oh you're right - just zoomed in! Definitely looks better 😂

It's the gathering at the top of the sleeve I object to.

Not exactly Style or Beauty, but I've just watched a really interesting prog with Patrick Grant (swoon) all about how they made the uniforms for the coronation.
I can't remember what it was called but it's on iPlayer and had "coronation" in the title.
