Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden recently hosted the President of Singapore, Tharman Shanmugaratnam, and his wife for a state banquet. For the occasion, Victoria chose a sophisticated, wintry white gown from the high street retailer H&M, costing £549.99. The sequined, floor-length dress featured a unique backless cut-out and adhered to royal fashion standards.
She paired the H&M creation with the significant diamond Laurel Tiara, a 20th-century heirloom. This tiara carries a history linked to forbidden royal love, having been passed down through generations, notably worn by Prince Bertil's partner, Lilian Davies, before their eventual marriage.
Victoria also displayed the Swedish Diamond Floral Earrings, a cherished family accessory. These earrings have been worn by Queen Silvia and her daughters, Princesses Victoria and Madeleine, at various prominent royal events, underscoring the theme of shared royal heritage.
