Instead of a grand state gala, Crown Princess Victoria appears in plain black at the Nobel Prize ceremony in Stockholm. Why the gorgeous robes had to stay in the closet.
Stockholm – The pandemic cost many lives in Sweden, especially at the beginning. The fact that the country is currently doing relatively well, while the fourth roll is rolling mercilessly across Europe, is perhaps a result of this. But events are still being held on the back burner so as not to offer the virus any space. So also the Nobel Prize ceremony, to which Crown Princess Victoria (44) simply appeared in black. *
Victoria of Sweden at the Nobel Prize ceremony – and she wears black
Three years ago, Sweden’s heir to the throne Victoria * also wore black, but after December 10, it was not the Nobel Prizes of the two writers Olga Tokarczug (59) and Peter Handke (79) that were on everyone’s lips, but the princess’s cleavage, the one with a tiara and Sash had drawn everyone’s attention.
No trace of glitter and glamor. Despite all the simplicity, the look in the black cocktail dress by Victoria will be remembered. What the dress lacked in superficial sheen was made up for by the elaborate updo and eye-emphasizing make-up of the mother of two.
