pinkcarpet last week at the Polar Music Prize
awards in Stockholm in a blush tulle gown by
Swedish-Eritrean designer Selam Fessahaye.
Flying the flag for homegrown talent, she
posed with husband Prince Daniel (left). The
frothy creation was a departure from Victoria’s
usual style and came from the designer’s spring
2019 debut collection.
Meanwhile, Victoria’s sister-in-law Princess
Sofia opted to say it with flowers – lots of them.
Equally catwalk ready, the former model made
her floral statement in a poppy and daisy print
Dolce & Gabbana dress with matching
headband. She was attending with her husband
Prince Carl Philip (together, right), two days
before their fourth wedding anniversary.
Something of a family gathering, the
ceremony also featured an appearance by
Victoria and Carl Philip’s parents King Carl
XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia (above) with the
King presenting awards to this year’s recipients.CROWN PRINCESS
