Royal Style: silk, stomachers, sapphires and plenty of sass

New thread!

Not really sure that I like Queen Silvia's gown - I think pale pink washes her out a bit. She looks better in strong colours IMHO. I like the shape of the tiara though

Waves to my fellow slaisters @ArcaneWireless @Maireas. Arcane, my granny would've said "Mony a slip twixt cup and lip". I have the ubiquitous white tops and jeans family photo from when my kids were small. That we all stayed clean long enough for a decent photo of all 5 of us is nothing short of miraculous. Quite like the Christmas card photo but do feel it's a bit dated.

That necklace on Sofia is incredible @paradyning.

While we are on the European Rouals I thought CP Frederik should probably get a mention for his natty advent jumper. 🎄

I think Kate would suit a frock like Victorias

Oh dear. Love the gold door though.
I may do the same at Maireas Manor 😉

Victoria's dress is gorgeous!

Love the jumper!

and aye @chesterelly1 - my nan would have said the same 🥰

The purple dress is magnificent.

Slaister! I haven't heard that word for years. That's what our Ma used to say to us!

As usual CPV has nailed eveningwear - and I say that as someone who doesn't even like purple. She looks splendid, and I love her amethysts.

I think all th Swedish ladies look gorgeous. Love Victoria’s purple dress with he amethysts!

Sofia’s necklaces are Swarovski, not diamonds, but she’s absolutely rocking them.

Sofia is just absolutely stunning, she has the perfect soft and warm face. Love the Tiara and matching earrings.

Does Charlene ever do a rewear? I can't think of anytime that she has done.

Another view of Princess Sofia's dress

I love Sofia’s style, she’s stunning. As are the emeralds 😍.
I’m not usually keen on purple, but the dress CPV is wearing is gorgeous, and suits her perfectly. I agreeKate would look good in it too.

Princess Christina/Mrs Magnuson - King Carl Gustav's sister - also in a tiara. Not sure if it is all one gown or a black dress with rose-covered evening coat

But the tiara (mine!) is real...

😂

I like the photo.

I especially like that it's Charlotte front and centre.

A cynical person might think "hmm the "Spare" in the front"

But only if they were an odd little gossip hound with another nasty little book to peddle.

Some photos of Catherine and the children helping out at a baby bank

How lovely! What a great cause.

Loving this red dress on Princess Sofia for tonight's Nobel dinner. ❤️

And we have the diamond version of her tiara. The outfit's just missing a few stonking great rubies, particularly with the neckline of her dress.

Indeed, she looks gorgeous. That's a beautiful red. We don't see red often enough, imo.

Lovely frock.

I do love that kind of neckline. I would need industrial underpinnings to carry that off though.

She looks smashing. And yy re stonkers.

Kate and Charlotte look lovely and for a great cause too.
Sofia looks phenomenal. I also ♥️ red.

Loving that red dress. Not sure about Victroria's yet. It's been a long day.
