In 2015, Crown Princess Victoria
announced her second pregnancy the day of an official dinner at the palace. When she showed up for the dinner, there seemed to be a reason for the timing of the announcement: she simply couldn't hide it any longer.
So yesterday was a bit of repeat show.

The royal court had some happy news to share on Thursday: Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia are expecting their second child in September, a baby brother or sister for Prince Alexander. (Yay!) Then yesterday evening, the court held one of their regular white tie official dinners at the palace, and...
...yup, that announcement came just in time. This is one of Sofia's best gala gowns so far, which is why I am
so glad she saved everyone from the speculation. She also made her second appearance in the
Cut Steel Bandeau. I'm gonna say diamonds would have been better and rubies would have been better yet. The dress is screaming for the
Edward VII Ruby Tiara, at least as a necklace.
Two airy tiaras with nature motifs rounded out the group: Crown Princess Victoria in
Princess Lilian's Laurel Wreath Tiara, which she inherited from Lilian in 2013, and Queen Silvia in the looped forget-me-not garland of
the Connaught Tiara.

Victoria gave her
Nobel 2012 appearance a do-over, once again sporting that Elie Saab number which has been so lovingly dubbed the Kermit Dress by many of you (we're going with "lovingly"), and
the Bernadotte Emerald Necklace.

She's swapped the
Four Button Tiara for Lilian's Laurel Wreath Tiara this time, and WOW does that make me love this look so much more. My fondness for her using the Bernadotte emeralds again and my affection for her making Lilian's Laurel Wreath a regular part of her tiara rotation are strong, but boy, my aversion to the Four Button is eternal.
