Princess Sofiaof Sweden brought her wedding tiara out of the royal jewelry vault (with a slight change!) for a glamorous occasion.
King Carl XVI Gustaf andQueen Silvialed the Swedish royal family in hosting a state banquet at the Royal Castle in Stockholm on Tuesday, hosting Finland’s President Sauli Niinisto and his wife, Jenni Hauki, who are on a two-day state visit to the country. The gala dinner took place before both Finland and Sweden’s ambassadors submitted written applications to join NATO on Wednesday.
Princess Sofia, 37, joined husband Prince Carl Philip, 43, at the event in a red gown featuring dramatic floor-length sleeves along with her tiara. The sparkler was a gift from the King and Queen Silvia to their daughter-in-law for herwedding dayto Prince Carl Philip in 2015, and it was topped with emeralds for her walk down the aisle.
For Tuesday’s event, the royal mom of three replaced the emeralds with pearls to perfectly complement her ensemble.
