UPDATED: Oscar's Christening!

Today was the big day, Little Prince Oscar was christened! The entire family was out in full force bringing us lots of little antics, laughs, and smiles. From Estelle pouring in the baptismal water, to little Nicolas and his toothbrush- it was a fun service! If you did not get a chance to watch it you can go check out the recording here.
Victoria wore a new white dress from Self Portrait - By Malina now says it is theirs...UPDATE: The dress is from their AW16 Pre-Fall Collection which will be in stores Mid-June. ( It has been a real struggle to find the dress but it is beautiful!!) Her earrings come from Kreuger Jewellery and her shoes come from Gianvito Rossi. Her white hat featuring feathers and a net veil was made by Philip Treacy.



Next up we saw Princess Madeleine who was one of the godmothers to little Prince Oscar. She carried Leonore upon arrival and had her hands full with her throughout the entire service. Leonore danced around, played with her little toys, and even managed to tip her chair over!

Madeleine wore a new blush colored dress from Roksanda. She wore the diamond earrings from Queen Josefine's Diamond Stomacher. Her shoes are the same pair that she wore to Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia's Marriage Bans Ceremony and come from Jimmy Choo.

Princess Sofia arrived looking amazing- one of the quickest ways to my heart is by wearing a cape and she did just that! I really hope this is not the last time we see this dress because it is just fantastic- and the color looks amazing on her!
Sofia wore a light blue dramatic dress from Antonio Berardi, she carried a small Valentino studded clutch. It appears that she is wearing the same earrings from the King's Birthday and wearing her nude colored Yves Saint Laurent shoes.
 

Now onto the little ones! Estelle arrived with her parents looking like a proud big sister! She told reporters that it went well afterwards. Wearing her own hairpiece and a string of pearls, she certainly looked like the royal she is!

Estelle wore a white dress featuring flower details from Charabia Paris she also carried a bag from the same brand.
Leonore and Nicolas were both attending in blue and white (yet-to-be-identified) ensembles. I have looked through my photo archives and do not see their outfits in published photos of Carl Philip, Madeleine, or Victoria but that does not mean they are not old pieces.
Queen Silvia- how did I almost forget her! She arrived in a blush pink color which meant she was able to wear her newest gems to her large impressive collection. These jewels she debuted a little over a year ago and they are stunning!

UPDATE: Her bag and shoes come from Jimmy Choo, and is still available to be purchased on FarFetch and Bergdorf Goodman, respectively. 

This post will be updated throughout the day with more details but I wanted to give you what we know right away!

UPDATED: The Celebration's Continue!

Tonight the Royal Family will attend a private banquet at the Royal Palace in Stockholm. We are seeing some videos and pictures thanks to Expressen currently. We will see photos of the arrivals but that is it of the dinner. Royals like to eat in private- I believe we can all relate to that!

Queen Silvia is the first one we've seen photos of. She's in a new red gown  with some floral detail on the side/back. She is wearing the Connaught Tiara with her modern Diamond Flower earrings. She appears to be wearing a diamond necklace just like last night. When we get better photos I will post them but for now check out Expressen's Page. The Queen's bag is very old- She's had it for close to 40 years. It was a gift from Princess Margaretha who embroidered it. It was on display with the Queen's Nobel Gowns in Stockholm about 10 years ago.

Madeleine is the first we saw.


She is wearing her Elie Saab dress previously seen at her Pre-Wedding Dinner and worn by Victoria last year. She paired it with her favorite tiara- Queen Silvia's Fringe Tiara and wore for the first time the Epaulette Earrings. On her left wrist she wore Princess Lilian's favorite Diamond Bracelet. I believe she is carrying a new clutch- she has one very similar to it but the sequins are in a chevon striped pattern. I stand corrected- her clutch is not new- but it is just double sided. One side has horizontal stripes and the other has a V shaped stripes. Her shoes appear to be from Jimmy Choo.

 

Victoria was the last for us to get a glimpse at.


She is wearing a new Elie Saab gown. She paired it with Princess Lilian's Laurel Wreath Tiara and a diamond necklace. I would have liked it better without the necklace. She is wearing what looks like the top half of the Brazillian Parure Earrings. She is also carrying a new clutch also from Elie Saab. Her shoes we originally thought were from Roger Vivier but now we are unsure. Victoria's shoes come from Elie Saab- just like the rest of her outfit!

Nobel Prize Ceremony

Today is the long awaited Nobel Ceremony. The Nobel Ceremony is held in Stockholm with the Royal Family in attendance. Note this is not the same as the Nobel Peace Prize which was held Oslo this morning. Nobel Ceremonies is one of my favorite days of the Royal Calendar because it means new gowns and lots of tiara bling! And let me tell you- The Swedish Ladies did not disappoint!

First off, can we talk about Queen Silvia’s new red gown- it is STUNNING! I love it and think she pulled it off beautifully! And we were right- the 9 Prong came out tonight! This tiara originated with Queen Sofia of Sweden and it’s more proper total is the Queen Sofia Diamond Tiara- I just call it the 9 Prong because it reminds me of reindeer antlers… She wore the Karl XIV Johan diamond earrings as well. Her necklace appears to be the Briljantcollier med Hänge (Diamond Necklace with Pendant. The pendant was a legacy to the Bernadottes from the Gustavian royal family. Her brooch appeared to be the ruby brooch that the family has. I do not know the history behind that brooch.

Crown Princess Victoria looked stunning a violet gown. It featured a v-neck cut dress with a matching sheer cape over the top. She delighted us again with the Connaught Tiara- I love it. I hope now it will become a regular. She wore the 2 bracelets from the Amethyst Parure as a necklace which we have seen done by others in the family before. She wore the matching earrings from that set. She also appeared to be wearing the brooch from the set in her hair. Her bracelet is the diamond zig-zag bracelet (It does not have an official name but it is a zig-zag pattern). She carried a Bottega Veneta Clutch.
UPDATE: Her gown comes from By Malina- it is a specially made Aubergine Silk Chiffon Gown and Cape.



Princess Sofia stunned again by wearing an Oscar de la Renta gown (Nice Find Heaven!!) She wore her wedding tiara once again and this time paired it with emerald and diamond earrings which I suspect were apart of the wedding gift from the Royal Couple. UPDATE: she borrowed from Queen Silvia. You can see Silvia wearing them here. She wore the stunning Queen Victoria’s Braganza Brooch on her front.
Princess Madeleine wore a STUNNING grey gown which I suspect was made by Fadi el Khoury (UPDATE: SVT said it was from Fadi el Khoury and Fadi himself told me that it was from him!). I am in love with it. I legit just teared up when I saw the full length of it. I am in love… Anyway she pulled out the biggest surprise by wearing the Aquamarine Kokoshnik tiara owned by her Aunt- Princess Margaretha. She wore Queen Silvia’s diamond flower earrings. And bless her heart- She really is trying to kill me- She wore the aquamarine ring that Princess Lilian left her upon her death in 2013. She appears to carry a clutch from Jimmy Choo.


Princess Christina pulled out a dress I believe she has worn before and I was right- she came in the 6 Button Tiara. She pulls off this tiara fantastically! Her brooch on her sash was a diamond and pearl brooch that she has had for many many years. 


That is all for now- I shall update as we find out more information and see more photos.

The Posse is Back Together!

Today the entire royal family, minus Chris and the grandkids, attended the opening of parliament!

Madeleine flew in from London for this occasion and returned to London this evening, missing the traditional attendance at the Royal Opera House.

Let's get right down to fashion and jewels (because that is what this blog is about and I still need to eat dinner before my class!). Note- dress code for the opening of parliament is black and white- hence the outfits!

Queen Silvia wore a black jacket over what imagine to be a black suit. Her shoes appear to be Salvatore Ferragamo. She wore a pair of pearl and diamond earrings from the Bernadotte collection as well as the Diamond and Pearl Ivy brooch which can be dated all the way back to Queen Victoria. For the performance this evening she traded her black suit for what appears to be a navy gown.
Funny enough the blue velvet coat she wore over it upon arrival she has had since 1977! Check out this magazine scan I have of her wearing it back then!

Which coat appearance did you like better?
Crown Princess Victoria re-used her Milly Jacket from when she attended Parliament while pregnant with Estelle, honestly that is what I expected her to do. She carried a clutch from Hunkydory. Her earrings are from Kreuger Jewellery.


For the performance this evening, she also re-used her short Adrianna Papell dress from earlier in the year.

Sofia attended parliaments opening for the first time as an official princess, last year it was a few short months after being engaged!
For the Opening of Parliament she wore a black and white jacket from Maje and carried a clutch from Hunkydory.

Later in the evening, she changed into a blue sleeveless dress from Ole Yde which she wore a black cape from Viktoria Chan over. Her shoes come from Jimmy Choo.

Princess Madeleine is last up in our review.
She wore a jacket from Paule Ka today over a black Paule Ka dress.

Marriage Bans for Sofia and Carl Philip

Today was Sofia and Carl Philip's Marriage Bans Service at the Royal Chapel in Stockholm. This meant we had lots of hats, and new fashions for all. Plus we got to see the two littlest Princesses dressed in matching coats! Let's start by going through the fashion in order of succession.
First off, Victoria. For today she wore a new dress from Filippa K paired with a Philip Treacy hat. She wore her white/grey pump from By Malene Birger and her silver Nancy Gonzalez clutch.


 
 

Estelle wore a dress and coat from Marie Chantal and her typical Livly bow and shoes.



Sofia wore a hat from Malinda Damgaard and a dress with a matching jacket from MaxMara (thanks @yourlovemoments). She carried a Bottega Veneta clutch. UPDATE: Thanks to Heaven- Sofia also wore her Kurt Geiger pumps!






Madeleine wore a lace Champagne colored dress under a matching coat Seraphine. The coat is a bespoke piece but they kindly sent me photos. She paired it with a pair of nude heels and clutch both from Jimmy Choo and topped the ensemble off with a Philip Treacy hat. (Madeleine's dress- Their Allegra style dress- is currently out of stock but it will be restocked by the end of the week for those of you who are interested! It is the same dress she wore in blue to the Magnusson Christening in March.)







Leonore wore the same coat as Estelle from Marie Chantal as well as a dress from them, a pair of silver shoes, and a bow from Livly.
