Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden looks elegant in patterned dress

Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden oozed elegance as she stepped out to attend an awards show this evening in Lund.

The 44-year-old royal opted for a mid-length dress for The Crafoord Prize ceremony, in partnership with the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences, at Lund University.

Looking typically stylish, mother-of-two Victoria sported a gown with an off the shoulder black top and white patterned skirt.

Victoria completed the look with a sleek bun and patent black heels, while she accessorised with a red clutch bag, gold hoops and kept her makeup minimal. 

The glamorous heir to the Swedish throne greeted guests and handed awards to this year’s winners.

The Crafoord Prize is one of the major international science prizes and is awarded in partnership between the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences and the Crafoord Foundation in Lund.

The Academy selects the laureates and the disciplines are chosen as a complement to the Nobel Prize. 

These alternate every year, between mathematics and astronomy, geosciences, biosciences and polyarthritis.

It comes after Victoria stepped out earlier this month in a stunning floor-length dress for an event held in Stockholm by The Royal Swedish Academy of Letters, Sciences and Antiquities. 

Mother-of-two Victoria opted for a dark blue tulle gown featuring mesh sleeves and subtle silver detailing, which she teamed with a white satin sash and ribbon-clad brooch.  

The 44-year-old royal first debuted the £229.99 gown, from high street label H&M, in 2020 when she posed in the dress to mark her 10th wedding anniversary with her husband Prince Daniel.

Victoria celebrated her name day earlier in March in the first full return to the celebrations since 2019 after the event was cancelled in 2020, and pared back in 2021 due to Covid. 

According to Swedish tradition, various names are associated with certain dates, and Crown Princess Victoria’s is celebrated on 12th March.

The Swedish royal was joined by her husband Prince Daniel, 48, and their children Princess Estelle, 10, and Prince Oscar, 6 at Stockholm’s Royal Palace.
