Official Gala Dinner: HRH The Crown Princess of Sweden

Aw, how presh does expectant CP Vic look?  I'm so excited about this baby.  Fingers crossed that it's a girl, so that she can go crazy in the family tiara collection.

Speaking of which: of course this is the hidden-cupboard Napoleonic Cut-Steel Tiara, one of the many Empress Josephine legacies knocking around in Scandinavian royal vaults.  I really do love this one, and I wish some of the other princesses who are a bit tiara poor would consider something innovative like a steel tiara to help flesh out their collections.  (I'm looking at you, Belgium.)

    This again looks better with an up-do. I've always been in the 'not sure' camp with this one, and still remain there. But then again, who's really looking at her head when there should be the first signs of a future Swedish sovereign in that belly? Right chuffed for them, so I am.

    Well, they say the girls are the first to fill up when your preggers and Victoria's sure are bursting. Perfect time to start wearing amazing necklaces! This tiara is one of my all time favourites...but only when Victoria wears it. Glad to see its becoming another signature piece along with the Baden. An updo would have made the whole look perfect.

    Well, she's certainly blooming! Crikey, that dress is hanging on in there but it's a good thing she doesn't have to get out of a car...

    I love this tiara, and it does really work with the empire line dress - but I'm in camp up-do (as per usual). Still she does look lovely in the cut-steel - I think a lot of sparkly is a bit redundant on Victoria when she's looking this radiant.

    She's sure busting out of that frock isn't she - she looks fab, and I've always liked the cut steel, and Vic does work it very nicely. Okay, an updo wouldn't have hurt, but she's young and pretty enough to get away with it.

    I'm going to say that I like Victoria's hair down, although I normally like upswept tiara hair. Her face looks softer with the pregnancy, and it's refreshing that her hair is soft around her face after seeing it always pulled so severely away. She does looks glowing and healthy and that's a beautiful coral gown. While the cut-steel tiara is a lovely design and rich in provenance, I like more glitter and precious gems in a tiara. A collet or dangling necklace would have been a nice addition as well.

    My goodness, you can certainly tell SHE'S pregnant! Can't say I'm a fan of the dress or the tiara, truthfully. But, on a lovely looking Victoria, I'll give it a pass.

    I'm in love...with the dress, with Victoria's glow, and the tiara. It's quickly becoming one of my favorites.

    I am definitely in the up-do camp. This tiara is MASSIVE!!! I think it would look better set back and let it tilt towards the heavens a bit. So I can't resist, WOW she is filling out that top portion of her dress now isn't she!!!

    Ah Bless, she's probably right comfy in that gown and I feel confidant that she may not be too happy with the "girls" growing rapidly as they can do. But she looks smashing! Tiara is the bomb!
