They’ve gone and done it again, those Swedish royal ladies. For the second night in a row, I am charmed by one and all. And they’re going for the title of Year’s Most Color Coordinated Family while they’re at it.

The royal family with laureate Kazuo Ishiguro and wife Lorna MacDougall.

A pastel spring palette for all, anchored by the deep blue of Queen Silvia's
Leuchtenberg Sapphire Parure. The whole thing starts with Crown Princess Victoria's floral dress by Camilla Thulin. Man, I love a floral ball gown.

And that is a BALL GOWN, make no mistake! Grand with a bit of whimsy. With a nature-themed tiara in
Princess Lilian’s Laurel Wreath, she’s perfectly coordinated.
Princess Sofia’s throwing in the greens with a caped (!) dress and the return of the
emeralds on her wedding tiara. The elastic (or whatever) at the waist seems a little flimsy for the rest of the drama, though I'm prepared to overlook it since we have a case of Tiara Hair Worn Down done right.

It's good, right? As is Princess Madeleine (another member of the list of royals that can handle a tiara worn with hair down, incidentally). Madeleine’s appearance
at Carl Philip and Sofia’s wedding in this Elie Saab gown is one of my all-time favorite maternity gala appearances; it’s just as grand the second time, paired again with the
Modern Fringe Tiara.
Shall we catch up with the Norway Nobel crew, while we're at it? For their second night, Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit attended the Nobel Peace Prize Concert. You'll never guess what she wore...

Erdem x H&M! We knew it was going to be popular, we just didn't know
how popular. We should have made Bingo cards with these pieces, guys. Missed opportunity.
