Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden is a vision in white feathered gown at a black tie gala in Stockholm

Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden was a vision in a white feathered gown as she joined her brother and parents for a black tie celebration at the Royal Opera House in Stockholm on Wednesday night. 

Victoria, 45, who is heir to the throne, put on an elegant display alongside her dashing brother, Prince Carl Philip, and their parents, King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia. Victoria’s husband,  Prince Daniel, Duke of Västergötland, and Carl Philip’s wife, Princess Sofia, did not attend. 

The Swedish royals were on hand to toast the 250th anniversary of the Royal Swedish Opera, known locally as the Kungliga Operan, which was founded after the then King Gustav III (a predecessor of the current monarch) proclaimed his desire to form a national ensemble. 

Dressed in a magnificent v-neck gown trimmed with feathers, Victoria was the picture of poise and beauty outside the lavish event. The gown, which was floor-length and also featured a cape detail, was beautifully tailored to her figure. Princess Victoria, who accessorised with matching black clutch bag and patent high heels, swept her hair back into a sleek bun at the nape of her neck, revealing the long pearl drop earrings she teamed with a silver bangle and a subtle diamond star necklace. 

The dashing Carl Philip looked suave in a tuxedo – his signature beard immaculately groomed. 

Posing alongside two of her children – their youngest, Princess Madeleine, lives in Florida with her husband and family – Queen Silvia was resplendent in a floor-length green and white, patterned gown which was only just visible from under a magnificent coat, complete with a white clutch bag. King Carl XVI Gustaf looked dapper in a dinner jacket and black bow-tie. 

It has been a busy week for Queen Silvia and King Carl XVI Gustaf. On Monday, the couple were among the royals from around the world who gathered in Athens to pay a final farewell at the funeral of Constantine II, the former king of Greece. The Swedish king is a first cousin of Constantine’s widow, Anne-Marie.

Earlier on Thursday, Queen Silvia stepped out to award scholarships for research on children and disabilities at the Swedish castle, Kungl.
