Crown Princess Victoria once again demonstrated her mastery of dressing with purpose. Accompanied by Prince Daniel, she attended the annual gala of the Royal Gustav Adolf Academy at Uppsala Castle, an event held every November 6th to celebrate research on Swedish popular culture.
Beyond protocol, this event holds a special significance for the royal family: the academy was founded in 1932, precisely on the 300th anniversary of the death of King Gustav Adolf, a pivotal figure in Swedish history.
What did Princess Victoria wear to the gala in Uppsala?
Victoria chose a long, burgundy dress by Camilla Thulin – one of her trusted Swedish designers – featuring long sleeves and a flowing cut that subtly enhanced her figure.
She paired the piece with pumps and a velvet clutch from Marzio, both in the same burgundy color, and completed the ensemble with earrings from Engelbert Stockholm.
A monochromatic style that conveyed both warmth and sophistication, perfect for an autumn academic evening.
An outfit designed for the occasion
It wasn’t a casual look or an impromptu choice. Victoria reserves the color burgundy for solemn occasions. Furthermore, her penchant for reusing garments with purpose reinforces her image as a modern and conscious princess.
During the ceremony, the princess presented the Academy’s Silver Medal, recognizing individuals who excel in the study of Swedish popular culture.
