Crown Princess Victoria's Eveningwear Part 8: August 2018 - December 2019

[fabaunty]

Re white tie is white tie , I agree that both the Met Gala , and The Nobel events in Sweden are both regarded white tie . However The Met Gala is an event with a different prescribed theme on every occasion . Guests are expected to to be fashion forward. The Nobel white tie events on the other hand, are to honour lifetime achievements of the winners . Whilst the dresses of the SRF ladies are always something I look forward to I don't expect to immediately think of the Met Gala when I see them.

I think that while creating Victoria's dress, Pär Engsheden has used Victoris's old dress and made the top part new.

I think that this is the dress which has been used, Victoria wore it at a state visit to Denmark in 2007 and at an official photo too.

You could be right! Great find my lady.

Why would you pay a designer to ruin a perfectly nice beautiful red dress with all that Christmas market material is beyond me.

Crown Princess Victoria's hair and jewels were the only saving grace.

For some odd reason I like the red dress, the colour is great and it’s different,I could see Queen Margrethe wearing it .

those sleeves!
the bow

I find this gown awful and too much. Beautiful color but terrible style and design.

I like the dress, too! It is a whole lotta dramatic look, though---and I agree with you, it needs a Margrethe or Maxima frame to wear it to best advantage. CP Victoria's special brand of magic includes many wins, especially wearing the Cameo tiara and looking beautiful. Her feminine/athletic beauty seems to be overwhelmed by this dress.

I really hate this look. For me many of Victoria's looks are either hit or miss and this one is definitely a miss. She looks so much better in looks that are not oversized. This one is just so much material and swamps her.

 

[fabaunty]

I'm afraid I cannot agree totally with that last remark . Whilst I have made clear my own feelings about the "costume " ,worn by HRH on the first night of the 2019 Nobel's ,HRH has shown that she can indeed wear ,[ and not be worn by },gowns of considerable volume , most notably the glorious gown worn in 2014 . Perfection both at rest and in movement .

 

[Duc_et_Pair]

I really liked the red japon. Very royal. The only distraction was that strange shawl, which ook away the clear lines of the dress. Such statuesque dresses are a regular feature amongst royal ladies.

If you are right and I think you are, I wonder if there is any hope that the top is some sort of over-blouse and the original dress is still there underneath.

Black is a perfect color for a dinner party she looks great.

 

[sm1939]

I Liked her Black dress she wore, just not keen on the material it remind me of a blanket, but the top design really suited her it was rather sexy too.

Victoria today at the Swedish Academy's formal gathering at Börshuset, recycling the gown from Camilla Thulin she wore at this event in 2017. She looks great.

This is a nice elegant dress. Compared to her recent horrors, it is stunning.

 

[HereditaryPrincess]

Victoria looks gorgeous. I like the festive feel of her dress.

Agreed. It’s festive too!
