| On January 15, 2018, Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia of Sweden attended the Swedish Sports Gala 2017 held at Ericsson Globe Arena in Stockholm. Sweden Sports Award (Svenska idrottsgalan) is a show that honours successful Swedish athletes of last year. It is held at Stockholm Ericsson Globe in the beginning of every January. (Prince Daniel has fallen ill and cancels his attendance at the Sports Gala this evening) |
The color of this gown is beautiful on Sofia. Not sure about the heavily draped skirt. I guess strands of hair loose on the side of the face is a style these days--Meghan Markle had the same in Brixton.
ReplyDeleteYes, she had, and neither I did like it on Meghan nor do I like it on Sofia. On Meghan it was not sooo disturbing, as she was dressed casual, but combined with a gown it is not acceptable, I think. And: Sofia is a princess, Meghan is not (or not yet, I don't know what title she will have).
DeletePlease don't start comparing every woman with MM. I highly doubt Sofia wore her hair like that because of her.
DeleteWe have many shoes to walk in. Its with greatness of hoe one feels.To me its a naturalistic perspective. lighten up.
DeleteJe trouve qu'il manque quelque chose à la tenue de la princesse Sofia. Je ne sais pas, peut-être une belle ceinture en velours noir!
ReplyDeleteIt's a pretty colour but it's a bit bland on top and bit lampshade on the bottom. For me hair, make up and accessories are on point.
ReplyDeleteThat´s what I think, too. She looks pretty (the hair especially), but the dress does nothing for her. Actually, I don´t even like the colour.
DeleteI do not like the dress. And Sofia needs a more "efficient" bra...
ReplyDeleteI completely agree, the dress is not spectacular, but the lack of a good supporting brassiere makes it look awful. I do love the hair.
DeleteI imagine she is still nursing and her choice of undergarments may reflect that. It isn't always comfortable for nursing mothers to wear more tight clothing.
DeleteNot a fan of multi-tiered dresses, but she does look very pretty otherwise.
Has Sh heard of maybe re-using some of her gowns. I think her title has gone to her head.
ReplyDeleteActually I remember how loud critique she got previously here when she had Victoria´s old gowns. People went about mad how poor Carl Philip may be when he does not have enough money to dress her wife properly. I think Sofia can never win, there is always somebody with bad tongue to blame her.
DeleteThis ATL must really hate Sofia. She writes sometimes comments in the webbsite of "Svensk Damtidning" and she always has nasty comments about her. She can't get Sofia out of her head, it's very sad.
DeleteI think the gown is lovely but Sofia needs more colour. The lights can also make it look more light-colored than it actually is. I like her earrings very much.
Zucchina, ATL was polite and didnt insult anyone. Let people have an opinion, negative or positive.
DeleteThe dress is nice. Not my fav but appropriate.
I think it is a huge insult to say that "her title has gone to her head", not polite at all. Just saying my opinion.
DeleteSofia is beautiful always smiling,
DeleteAlso calling her still SH = Sofia Hellqvist is not at all any polite. There is no SH left. Tells that ATL does not accept Sofia as a princess and all ATL`s comment are based of that.
DeleteHer name is Sofia hellqvist now she is sofia hellqvist bernadotte. Thats her legal name.
DeleteNo offense, but I call the duchess of Cambridge Kate or Kate middleton. So I dont respect her? So what if ATL comment are based on that? As long as people are polite ( and saying Kate, Kate middleton, Sofia hellqvist... Is polite) he/she is not obligated to accept anyone or anything. Let people have an opinion.
So why only Sofia and Catherine, why don´t you call the others for example Camilla Sand, Mary Donaldson, Mette Marit Hoiby, Mathilde d´Acoz, Letizia Rocasolano, Maxima Zorrequieta Cerruti, Silvia Sommerlath, Madeline Bernadotte etc? These ladies are all today called after their positions queens, princesses and duchesses.
DeleteTo my ear especially name Kate Middleton is very impolite. She is no Middleton anymore and also I very much doubt you know her well enough that she would be Kate to you. Bare Kate is maybe not so bad but together with Middleton.
Also we all know how much you like to attack towards Sofia here so you being polite to her is existing only in theory, not proven in reality, what actually proves nicely how those old names are anything but polite name callings.
I do that for all the ladies. Mary, Camilla, Marie, ...
DeleteSorry but its not an insult to say someone maidname or first name. Theres a different bewetten just hate and being a critical thinker. Just saying. And yes I call the royal ladies by their first or maidname. Their maidname is not an insult.
Sofia is hellqvist bernadotte and I imagine that Kate is Catherine Elizabeth middleton Windsor.
Their titles ate not their names! They have legal 'normal' names.
Raquel, yes you call the others with first names, like most of us do here, but my point was you do not highlight their maiden names like with Sofia (Helqvist) and Catherine (Middleton) as if they never did or should integrate to these royal families they now belong or their other positions.
DeleteThey old names are also not their names today. Actually Catherine has no surname today but if she had it would be Mountbatten-Windsor, Cambridge or Wales. Even in her kids birth reports she wrote no surname. Here is article about her name http://www.goodhousekeeping.com/life/entertainment/a33327/royal-etiquette-stop-saying-princess-kate/
I dont highlight, I never called sofia, sofia hellqvist or Kate, Kate middleton here. Like ever ... But I might cause its the names that people got used to. Rude, would be calling Kate like waity Katie as some repórteres did. Thats rude! I like Kate for example. But yes I call her Kate middleton at times. I dont get why it would offend anyone. Its cause people dont want to be remembered that they were commoners? Anyway, if I ever do, its not cause im mean spirit, its just cause everyone call them by their maidname and it stuck with me. Thats all really. 😊😊😊
DeleteAll those other names I wrote earlier were also names those other royal ladies were known before marriage and to what people were well used to, still there were no problem at all to go forward to their following royal tittles and names.
DeleteAdoro o penteado, os brincos e a cor do vestido. Quanto ao modelo, não sou grande fã, embora ache que a princesa Sofia está bonita e com um look simpático 😃
ReplyDeleteI envy her own complex when she can wear such a ugly and colorless gown and looks still good. Better bras she however needs.
ReplyDeleteThe colour is flattering and I rather liked the dress, but I think there's one too many layers in the skirt. Overall, however, she looks nice.
ReplyDeleteI think she is beautiful. I like the dress, the colour, the style, the accessories, and her hairstyle. I saw a picture of the back of her hair it was really nice. She looks perfect in my opinion and don't forget that she had a baby in August so she may be breastfeeding. I understand if somebody doesn't like her style that's totally okay but sometimes I feel that people simply leave negative comments because they don't like Sofia and it really saddens me.
ReplyDeleteAre the flowers in Sofia's earrings special to Sweden? I would have put something to match the purple of the earrings in the middle of the chest/bodice; a pendant, brooch, applique...other than that, this gown is versatile and looking forward to seeing it again in the future.
