I thought I'd do two tiara times just for fun. The first is the annual Nobel Prize dinner in Sweden. It's held every year on the 10th of December. Queen Silvia and the three Princesses are always dolled up and where some beautiful tiaras in honour of the Nobel Prize winners. Let's see what this year featured;
We'll start with our leading lady, Queen Silvia. She's gone with a silver look this year and whilst I'm not a very big fan of this outfit she does look quite regal. This year Queen Silvia is wearing The Leuchtenberg Sapphire Tiara. It's a beautiful tiara dating back to 1806 and was worn at the wedding of her son, Prince Carl Philip to Princess Sofia in June last year. This tiara is only ever worn by The Queen.
Crown Princess Victoria wins the night. She looks stunning in this dress and I love the intricate pattern on the dress. Victoria is wearing the Napoleonic Cut Steel Tiara. It dates back to 1810 so it's one of the special ones of The Swedish collection. I like the base of the tiara, but find the feather design at the top reminds me of a dancer at the Moulin Rouge. However from afar it looks quite nice and compliments the floral pattern as well as the colour of her dress.
Then of course we come to Princess Madeleine. I'm a bit disappointed overall with both outfit and tiara choice. Her dress looks like someone went and stuck crepe paper all over the skirt. The one compliment is that the colour is nice. As for the tiara, Madeleine chose the Connaught Diamond Tiara. I do love this tiara, it's beautiful. What I don't like is that her older sister, Crown Princess Victoria wore it at the same event last year in 2015. If I were Madeleine I would've chosen the Diamond Six Button Tiara. We didn't see it last year and it's a much more significant tiara.
We got a treat from Princess Sofia this year as she wore a new tiara. Not exactly new, we've seen it once before on Crown Princess Victoria, but it's rarely seen. This is called the Cut Steel Bandeau. It's a subtle tiara and I like the pattern. I think it could have more colour as it blends in a bit with Sofia's dark hair. Her dress is a gorgeous colour, but the design is bland and it looks like a sack on her. The sleeves are far too big.
