But the royal guests were festive and sparkling. One person who has attracted a lot of attention because of her choice of clothes is Crown Princess Victoria. She wore a dress from the Hennes & Mauritz clothing chain.
– This is a unique dress in jacquard, made of durable material, says H&M press officer Johanna Dahl Afton Sword.
However, the Swedish clothing giant’s dress was not part of the H&M collection, but was designed specifically for the crown princess. It is made from organic and recyclable materials, and is made from organic silk.
Victoria also chose H&M when her younger brother Prince Carl Philip married Sofia Hellqvist last year. The Crown Princess is often praised for making more affordable clothing choices, and is referred to as a princess by the public.
Princess Sofia came in a dress from the House of Dagmar, and Princess Madeleine wore a skirt and blouse from Swedish designer Fadi el Khoury.
