Queen Silvia's Fashion and Style Part 9: June 2024 -

[An Ard Ri]

The first outfit was really nice , the second one I wasn't so keen on and the floral jacket looks dated.

Queen Silvia at the state dinner. I don't like this gown at all, especially the top part is horrible. And was there cold, she had her cape/jacket on the dinner?

I cannot express how much I love Silvia’s red coat! It’s a gorgeous color that looks great on her and very appropriate for the location!

 

[An Ard Ri]

I thought it looked much nicer with cape and saw no issue with the queen wearing a cape at dinner.

 

[Hans-Rickard]

I like the colour and the motifs of her gown… I wish she would have worn more substantial jewellery than that though… I guess it may have something to do with this state visit having been decided and booked while they were already abroad as they haven’t been in Sweden for the entire november…

She has started wearing cape’s to dinners more often in recent years so i suppose she is freezing easily.

Victoria has been the temporary regent since November 2 and the state visit was announced on November 3, of course the state visit had decided before the King and Queen left Sweden.

Noticed that too. Wonder why she had not gowns desgined who are more covered up and don't have so big necklines. And with warmer materials.

I absolutely love the blue gown. The style, decoration, material and fit.

Queen Silvia yesterday in Ottawa. I don't like this, the "buttons" at the outfit are too much.

Queen Silvia at the reception the King and Queen hosted to their hosts. She looks much better than at that horrible shining too tight blue gown a night before.

The gown at the return event was really lovely and a wonderful colour on Queen Silvia.

 

[Hans-Rickard]

Purple is always a safe colour for her with her natural dark colours…

Though this was not my favourite purple dress on her…

 

[Stefan]

Indeed the purple flown was much better then the blue one for the State Dinner

 

[Prinsara]

I loved the blue dress on Silvia and thought the design on the skirt was very elegant. I’m sad there was no tiara with it.

There seems to be no decent picture of the purple dress.

Queen Silvia at the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony 2025 today:

The top half is very sparkly and a lot going on and not really working with the bottom half.
(Separately both are nice pieces)

 

[Stefan]

Not really a fan of this gown. At the Top there is to much going on. To much sparkle. And the lower part is very shiny.

 

[Hans-Rickard]

That lovely dress from the Golden Jubilée Anniversary Banquet 2 years ago I love it

She has the look and presence to wear a lot of ”bling” on her dress, wich none of her daughters have.

 

[Frelinghighness]

I love it too, I don’t remember seeing it before. I hope we get better pictures

 

[Katiedidit]

I like the top but hate the wrinkly skirt.

 

[maria-olivia]

How wonderful the Queen is . I think she and Queen Sonja will never have white hairs)

 

[Meraude]

Noticed that too. Wonder why she had not gowns desgined who are more covered up and don't have so big necklines. And with warmer materials.

As it seems that Silvia recycles her evening gowns, it could be that a gown is perfect for the temperature at one venue, but somewhere else there is a need to add a shawl/cape, as at the Nobel Banquet this year. It's easier to add something when needed than to remove things. I haven't been at the Stockholm Concert Hall, but I've attended concerts in the Gothenburg Concert Hall, which has about the same amount of seats as there was at the Nobel Prize ceremony, and when a concert was sold out, it got very warm in there. I have visited the Stockholm City Hall, and the Blue Hall, and it's 22 metre up to the ceiling, and the floor area is 1500 square metre, so it could easily get a bit chilly sitting there during a long dinner.

Yes, I've been to a few banquets at the City Hall and it does get a bit chilly due to the ventilation and the high ceiling. I would not chose a dress with bare shoulders.

Queen Silvia at the King's Dinner for the Nobel Laureates today, December 11:

Queen Silvia looked better on this gown when she wore it for the first time at the Finnish State visit in 2022.

The collar in 2022 suited with the gown much better than the sash this time. And the ruby tiara looked also better with the gown than the amethysts this time. The combination feels very "heavy" this time.

 

[Frelinghighness]

Lovely gown, fits like a glove. Nice backdrop to give the amethysts a good showing

And the colour too is very regal , a perfect look by the impeccable queen.

The green is very nice and festive looking on Queen Silvia!

The green is very nice and festive looking on Queen Silvia!

The top is nice, but the trouser is horrible

 

[LadyFinn]

The top is beautiful, but she ruined the look totally with the horrible trousers.
