The Nobel Prize 2002 - 2012

[Princess Maxima]

Madeleine's hair look lovely

 

[Maxie]

I liked the dresses, but I also think Victoria and Madeleine could better have used some color. I like the embroidery on Victoria's dress though... just adore Lilians dress, she really looks great in it. She may be the eldest, but she looked the loveliest...

Thanks to all who posted the pictures!

My review (still under the influence of the yearly sparkled wine )

The loveliest and most regal one was Lilian. For the other ladies the motto must have been "pimp up my boobs"
For Victoria the colour of the dress is too pale. She has though chosen the best Tiara of her usual Tiaras.
Madeleine could really work with her facial expression at such events (church events included)
I agree with GrandDuchess Mamma...I hope Carl Philip gets an extra portion at the moment

ha ha ha. You are too funny, Lena. Yes, I agree with Lilian. She doesn't get enough credit. Maybe you should send a care package to CP. Lots of Italian food or köttbullar..

Everyone's dresses were pretty, but I wish they would have worn more colors. The detail on Victoria's waist is gorgeous.

 

[purple_platinum]

this one probably will be an "almost" 2002 scandal...



although victoria & madeleine's dresses are white & pale, but taking closer looks.. i realized the details are beautiful... i think they want to go for mature & elegant look this year..

I like the neutral colours of their dresses, think they looked very elegant

Thank you for translating. That sounds yummy. Arctic bramble marmalade and ptarmigan with Crayfish and lobster. Very much a Northern menu. I like it. Potato cakes are good too. Very Swedish with carmelized apples too.

Wow! Australian wine is served in Sweden? I didn't even think that would happen!

Didn't the King and Queen visit a winery in Barossa Valley on their State Visit? Maybe that's why the Nobel Foundation serves this particular wine tonight, with Their Majesties visit in mind.

I really love Crown Princess Victoria's dress! It comes out much better during the banquet, it wasn't made justice in the Concert Hall earlier tonight. The Crown Princess looks spectacular, wow! Her hair is great, the tiara is one of my favourites, and the train is very elegant. Superb!

The colour is the only thing I can really remark on, I like her in more colour, but this colour is okay too.

 

[Lena]

Well, Australian wine has a very good reputation. And since 2 winners are Australians, it doesn´t surprise me.

 

[Dennism]

Barossa Valley is in South Australia, an hour from Adelaide so maybe they did. It's funny. I saw Barossa Valley in a store just last week. It's a small world.

A most elegant photo.

" Well, Australian wine has a very good reputation"

That they do. Not like in the past.

These children were moving around during the ceremony. Wow, Madeleine looks really tanned in that photo.

Yes, it's the grandchildren of the Economy Laureate Robert Aumann from Israel. Such handsome young boys. But even if they moved around quite a lot in their chairs during the Nobel Prize Award Ceremony, I'm impressed that they managed to stay in their seats!

Yes, they did visit a Barossa Valley vineyard on the trip to Australia. So that was indeed nice of them to use such a wine for the Nobel dinner. Yes, her hair looks great. I like that hairstyle for her. No more scrunchies!

 

[Yennie]

Yes maybe. But being Royal is about looking as interested as possible. No matter, if you actually think of chocolate cake or your boyfriend. The face should show empathy.

true, she must work on that. Victoria is a real pro when it comes to always looking interested no matter what...

Madeleine´s dress looks much better in these photos from the dinner..

To me it seemed that Victoria was the one that looked like the Queen this time. Silvia starts to look "old" somehow (well, she is not 35 anymore...) and Victoria looks so young and regal next to her. Nevertheless, everyone looked really nice!

I remember seeing a photo of the King and Queen's visit to that winery, it was cold and raining, yet the Queen still looked great.

It's nice that my country's food/wine has a good reputation overseas, even a decade ago we couldn't have said that!

I loved Lillian's choice of lime green - it was a great color among so many neutral ones. Victoria's dress was beautiful, I love the embroidery, and the hair & tiara.
Silvia's dress was a little to low in the front IMO, and the dress seemed very awkward (it's the only word I can think of at the moment!), and I liked the overall look of Madeleine's dress - it suits her light hair, and was a 'safe' choice.

I really liked Victorias dress and the color is great on her I think, have been wanting her to wear something white for long time now... (even though they called it light blue on the tv). She´s the queen for the night i agree, Silvia I don´t like that much this year, I agree that she looked old today and the dress is not her best and I don´t think that the cameo jewels mached the dress. Madeleines dress also looked lovely but I haven´t seen that much of it yet so I´ll have to wait a bit with the judgement on that. Lillian looked lovely as usual. Now back to the tv, must be time for the dessert soon
