On April 21, 2023, it was the ELLE Gala at the Grand Hotel in Stockholm - Sweden's biggest fashion party. Prince Carl Philip and Princess Sofia of Sweden attended the Elle Fashion Awards ceremony (Elle Galan) held at Grand Hotel in Stockholm. Princess Sofia wore a new outfit by Lisa Yang. Lisa Yang is a scandinavian fashion brand based in Stockholm.
I like the simplicity of the design and the very femine silhouette, but it´s still a difficult dress to wear. The colour will make most people look pale, the knit fabric will stretch and bulge (as one moves and sits) and make most people look bigger than they are, and overall, the dress is to big on Sofia. As a result, it doesn´t sit right on her, the two seams overlap at her waist instead of exposing a bit of skin (which I assume was the idea), and the skirt drags on the ground.
ReplyDeleteSofia still looks polished and nice. I also like her updo and her earrings. But the green purse puzzles me.
oh yeah the green purse. Can't figure out what could be the purpose. She wears the dress quite well.
DeleteI agree with all points made here @Vanessa
DeleteAgree on all of the above.

It almost looks as if it is a skirt and a sweater.
DeleteGreat dress and accessories, lovely hairdo and make-up. Fantastic look, but she should've worn another bra. Don't know what went wrong but it looks odd in that area. But otherwise it's a perfect spring look.
ReplyDeleteBelle silhouette mais cette couleur lilas ne l'avantage pas du tout surtout lorsqu'elle est associée avec cette pochette vert-laitue ; à mon humble avis, la couleur rouge lui convient beaucoup plus !
ReplyDeleteLisa Yang will have to study a lot more before she can call herself a fashion stylist. Sofia's dress looks awful on her. Irene
ReplyDeleteI agree.
DeleteI agree. The skirt is smooth over her hips and appears to fit beautifully. But the top is bunched up funny under her arms and competes with the skirt waistband for room at her waist. I’m very surprised that this is the outfit the designer chose to dress her in. It is not showcasing the designers talents the way she hoped, I expect. PSofia is gorgeous. But she looks rather plain standing next to these other attendees.
DeleteHave you seen her moving in this dress? Do have a look, ChristinZ's Twitter is showing it. It is a farce. I am sorry - but this is ridiculous (for a designer to design and for any woman to wear). The top is partly clinging, partly formless, the skirt too long, where top and skirt meet is just unfinished/unprofessional. OK for a 16-year old meeting up her friends in the city - but not for a princess (or anybody for that matter) visiting a gala. (-Ann.)
ReplyDeleteOMG you are right! The way she has to slide her feet and simultaneously kick the skirt part in order not to trip over it... given this is at a fashion event it's hilarious and sad at the same time.
DeleteLovely color, great hair and makeup, fun modern jewelry plus a beautiful princess! Sofia looks great here but the dress appears to be a bit too large--its too long and waist area is a bit bunched up. I think the green purse is meant to be a pop of color and I like it.

Such a lovely couple!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteThis color looks beautiful on her. Also, her hair and makeup are absolutely lovely. However, for the outfit itself, the waist area is strange. Either it isn't fitting right or something. It just isnt laying right. If it were smoothed out, with perhaps a small gap between the top and skirt, that would be perfect. Love the contrasting clutch!

Color is not good, washes out her lovely complexion. The green purse, definite NO and the entire dress/top is odd. NOT a good look on her. The hair is nice pulled up. The earrings are far too big and clunky for her.
ReplyDeleteI liked the combination of colour - lilac dress and a green purse, very fashionable.
ReplyDeletePauline
Lovely couple and lovely dress color. The top half does not fit her well.
ReplyDeleteLove the green purse!

I love the color contrast with the lilac dress and green purse, but the fit on the dress is terrible. She needs a stylist to help her find clothes that fit her correctly.
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is not for the faint hearted, the Princess looks beautiful, but the top is a fail alo't of bunching up under the arms. I wonder what color her shoes are?
ReplyDeleteShe needs her bra strap tightened up a little more, not a good look at all.
ReplyDeleteWhy do their dressers not get this correct from young to old royals. The most important thing in dressing is the undergarments first and for most. Briefs that do not show marks and the correct bra. Then comes the posture and how they walk. Just look at Princess Mary and Queen Letizia.
Shame she is such an attractive woman.
A very nice and simple 2-piece outfit, like the color to the top seems not fitting to well. Maybe it would have been better as a gown one piece. But Sofia looks nice, and I like her updo. css
ReplyDeleteA beautiful woman. A disastrous choice of a dress. Can’t say anything else.
ReplyDeleteAgree that there is something horribly wrong with the dress. Anyway it is a lovely colour! But why that green Clutch?
ReplyDeleteIt‘s about colourtheory, when you look at the colour wheel, pink has the complementärfarbe green, lilac yellow. It brings interest to an outfit, as you can see. In this case, the effect is ruined by the fabric and fit of the dress.

Agree with the almost unanimous view that the dress is a great colour but terrible fit. I’m in the camp that likes the green clutch. An outfit with potential which didn’t really work

Sofia is a beautiful women. With her looks and sense of style I really thought that she can pull of any dress. But not even Sofia can make this one work!
