UPDATED: Happy 70th Birthday King Carl Gustaf!

Happy 70th Birthday to King Carl-Gustaf !!

Today is a big day of celebrations in Sweden , starting with a Te Deum at the Royal Chapel for the King ! 
Foreign guests includes King Juan-Carlos & Queen Sofia of Spain, Queen Margrethe and Princess Benedikte  of Denmark, Prince Albert of Monaco and Princess Takamodo of Japan to only say a few.
Prince Daniel & Princess Sofia parents were also there as well as Chris' mother.
Around 10am, the Royal Family entered the chapel. The entire family was there including Princess Sofia ( who will only take part in the day events) and Princess Estelle.
Then, an Armed Forces celebration took place outside the Royal Palace where Princess Beatrix to the Netherlands, Prince Frederik and Princess Mary of Denmark and Princess Martha-Louise & Ari Behn of Norway joined the guests of the Te Deum and the Royal Family.


Victoria wore a new white coat from Ida Sjöstedt Couture (Confirmed on Instagram) with a Dolce & Gabbana dress with a new pair of black pumps from Aquatalia and her Nancy Gonzalez clutch. Princess Estelle wore a white dress and jacket with a light blue coat. Victoria's hat comes from the SS16 collection from Philip Treacy. Victoria's earrings are one of her favorite pairs from Kreuger Jewellery. 

 

Princess Estelle wore a matching jacket and dress set from the brand Charabia (Thanks Beka)! This is not the first time Estelle has worn Charabia, she wore a dress from the brand last year under her Purple Coat to Victoria's Name Day. Charabia is a French brand but the designer is Swedish!

Princess Sofia made her first official appearance since the birth of her son Prince Alexander. She looked lovely and you could hardly tell she gave birth just a week or so ago! 



She wore a new coat from By Malene Birger with a new Hugo Boss dress. She paired it with new snakeskin pumps by the new Swedish brand Stinaa J. The brand opened this month so Sofia is the first public person to wear their shoes ! Her clutch is new and from the British brand Vintage Styler.





Princess Madeleine flew in from her home in London (she may have actually flown in from the United States as that is where she was last week) to attend the birthday celebrations. While I was hoping to see the kids, they have yet to make an appearance. 


Madeleine wore a new Alexander McQueen coat with a new dress from Giambattista Valli (Thanks Anna from Expressen), black shoes, and her Bottega Veneta clutch. Her hat is from Philip Treacy- just like Victoria's. 






Silvia wore a new pink coat with red shoes & bag. Thanks to Ellen, Queen Silvia's shoes are from Manolo Blahnik. I suspect Her hat is from Philip Treacy London but I cannot find a stock photo of it online. (Philip Treacy's Official Instagram Account confirmed that it is indeed their design).

  2. The Royal European princesses/Queen's really know how to dress. Incredibly stylish,always immaculately groomed from hair style, makeup, accessories, jewellery and finally outfits are always dress appropriate

    1. I thought so too- but the shape of the toe did not match.

  5. They were all spectacular. However Victoria with the added coat was the winner in my book!
    Do you think Silviva's shoes are either of these (as that's what you do when avoiding the things you're meant to be doing, look at designer shoes) Manolo Blahnik's Srilasca Scalloped Suede Pump in Bordeaux, or alternatively LK Bennett's phoenix scallop edge court in a custom/different colour?
