The lower half of the stunning gown tapered into a black flowing skirt and she paired the gown with black stiletto heels.

Her brunette locks were styled in graceful soft curls and parted on the side.

She opted for sophisticated glamour with her make-up with soft smoky eyeshadow, fluttery lashes and a slick of pink lipgloss 

Prince Carl Philip, 38, was a real-life Prince Charming in a sophisticated fitted black suit with a bow tie.

The young Royals looked very much in love as they held hands and greeted friends at the event.

Former glamour model Sofia Hellqvist married the prince in June 2015. The elegant brunette is known for her infectious gap-toothed smile and easygoing ways.

They dated for five years before walking down the aisle and now live together in the upmarket Djurgården district of Stockholm.

They married in the royal palace’s chapel, with the bride wearing a lace wedding dress created by local designer Ida Sjöstedt.

They welcomed first son Prince Alexander in April 2016, with Prince Gabriel arriving in August this year.

But thanks to Princess Sofia’s reality TV and glamour modeling past, Carl Philip’s choice of wife initially proved controversial.

The now Duchess of Värmland’s first shoot aged 20 saw her posing topless in a pair of camouflage print bikini bottoms and clutching a snake to preserve her modesty.

Unsurprisingly, when news of Carl Philip’s new relationship emerged in 2010, the Swedish Royal Family were initially put ‘on the defensive’ as sources revealed at the time.

Since then, however, Sofia has gone out of her way to tone down her image.

Meanwhile Carl Philip has hit the headlines for antics of his own – not least his infamous ‘wild summer’ of 2012, during which he hit the Swedish party scene wearing an alien mask, and hitchhiked to a motoring competition after losing his Gucci wallet, going on to crash his car in the first race.
