As part of Nobel Prize Week, the Swedish royal family continues its official agenda. As every year, the presence of the Bernadottes captured attention, especially the attire chosen by the heir to the throne, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden.
According to the Argentine News Agency, the princess attended the Stockholm concert hall in a gala gown that quickly generated interest, as it is a piece from the family archive that her mother, Queen Silvia, once wore.
The dress selected by Victoria is the same one the queen wore at the Nobel Prize banquet in 1994. The garment was designed by couturier Jacques Zehnder and made of sable, a French-origin faille fabric that is no longer manufactured. The design features a geometric and asymmetrical cut that leaves the shoulders bare and a structured bodice cinched with a belt of the same material. From the waist, a long, pleated skirt with an asymmetrical cut unfolds, incorporating an inner black silk lining visible only on one side.
The Crown Princess's choice reinforces the trend within the Swedish royal family to rescue historical pieces from the royal archives and reuse them to showcase modesty, with an economic and ecological focus.
