The Nobel Prize 2002 - 2012

kung hösäck...
sorry..cant translate that..
he'll just never learn how to sit in a chair ..will he? haha

well im thrilled that victoria chose to wear that tiara..its my fave tiara...and i her hair looks great and i like the model of the dress and all..but the colour suck. it would have been nice with a colour on her...dark red or purple or so... maybe i missed something, but i havent seen the necklance before on victoria so i think it was really nice to see her in that necklance instead of one of the "usual"

madeleine..aaaaaargh! she looks soo bored and the colour of the dress doesnt help. grey? what is she thinkin with... that dress had been soo nice in any colour really but esp a blue shade *my opinion atleast* and whats with the hair? couldnt she have curled it a bit atleast? *hmm* ah well..at least she picked the nice tiara...

the queen...people here keeps saying its recycled..i havent seen it before and i think its great...def my fave dress of the evening (and the only one with colour..) but as someone said (dunno who) the jewellery doesnt go with it..the saphires would have been better...

lillian..nice model, nice colour ...and im glad she picked one of the "button tiaras" because that means non of the other princesses can have it.. and the button tiaras really fit her..but i think it would have been interesting with sum deatils on the dress in a darker shade of green or so...

princess christina, just cought a quick glimps of her..sum black/darkgreyish dress with something that sparkeled...so boring i hardly even remember it..but her dresses usually are like that ..but she was the first of the royals in the concert house and i was sooooo happy when i saw the four button tiara on her head..coz i really feared that victoria would have it...(dont like those tiaras, esp not on victoria)

i am starting to like victorias and madeleines dresses
and are not to sure if it would looked better in stronger colours in the design

ok...not strong then..but pale shades? pink,blue, yellow..anything? *sorry..i just cant help it*..i just think its booooooooooooooooooooooooring, even tho they look geat

couldnt madeleine atleast have picked a necklance with some stones in...(with colour) ?

I’m quite impressed this year.

Fashion notes:
I really love Victoria’s gown. It’s so pretty, and as people have mentioned, the waist looks lovely and is a nice addition. In this photo (courtesy of Dennism), you can even see her shoes. Oh how I love those shoes! Thank goodness she didn’t wear a colour where those white shoes were appropriate. I would have screamed and cried. Lilian looks so sweet. Every time I see her, I want to give her a big hug. Green looks good on her. I’m also impressed with Silvia too. I was expecting something ‘dowdy’ () but I think the style is good. I would prefer it if I could pick out her outfit, but she looks pretty nonetheless. I also like the bold blue. Really stands out. Madeleine’s gown is also really nice too. It looks like it has satin or something underneath, and embroidered silk organza over the top.

Overall, I’m very happy with the fashions of the evening, and of course, that’s the most important thing.

do you have a necklace in mind? maybe the necklace victoria wore for new year 2000 we have not seen that for many years

do you think madelienes dress is the 2004 dress we never saw

 

[swedishme]

interesting though is that lots of you seem to think that tiara = hair up
(i agree) n i read that some arent tooooo keen on Madeleine's hair 2nite...but miss "faishonexpert" Ebba von Sydow(whom i cant stand) keeps saying "have the hair down down down DOWN"... what is she thinkin with?

I was actually thinking that it would be better if she had her hair up too. She always seems to have her hair down for gala events.

is madeleine looking thinner in the face

Nice shoes! and I like Victoria's shoes too. At least she didn't wear the dreaded pair! Anyway here are the other ones from Getty which were supposed to have been posted 5 minutes ago but somehow I messed up...

yeah i got one in mind..but i dont have any pix of it...lost my collection of pix a while back...

dont know which necklance you mean though...

mmm i wouldn't be surprised if its that dress...and it could explain the "lets go pale thing" too..coz last year both victora and silvia wore a bit more "strong" colours so it would have looked nice with this pale colour next to theirs...

*great someone agrees *

yeaaah she should be saying "up up up" ...esp her own hair..i think its a total disaster..ok madeleine keeps her hair down alot..we are getting used to it..but what if victoria would come with the hair down next year?! coz she listened to ebba

I wonder what they were really saying. Hmm. Or maybe Victoria couldn't understand what Silvia was saying so she decided to show her, except that Victoria didn't wear her contacts.

 

[swedishme]

she's not a royal..but what do u think of anitra steens "outfit"..big fluffy hair and a red dress..and sum bland earrings..and no other jewellery what so ever...

i think it makes her look poor...(like she cant afford even a simple necklance)...next to the royals

lol..maybe

I think this is the best I've seen the ladies look. All of them. Lilian is my favorite, and Madeleine is a close second. Bravo!! But has anyone seen Princess Christina? I know she was supposed to be there tonight.

This is just an incredible photo: http://www.theroyalforums.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=219478&d=1134248591 Just look at all the people! I didn't really look too closely at the bottom half of Silvia's dress as she was standing, but looking at that photo above, I think she could have done better with the shape of it. Why does she wear puffy things all the time? I just don't understand.

 

[Dennism]

Thank you, Swedishme and Danielle. Yes, I hate the watermarks too. Yes, I agree about Anitra. Goran should buy her a nice necklace! Here are some more from Getty. Photos 7 and 9 are just so beautiful...

 

[Larzen]

First of all Anitra Steen and PM Persson always look very sweet together, is she wearing the same dress she wore last year

Silvia, boring, the dress makes her look broad somehow and the tiara really does not help, she should have worn the sapphires to sparkel it up a little. Did she not wear this dress on the statevisit to Finland?

Lilian, she is so sweet yet rather fragile looking, I dont really care what she wear she always looks sweet, she even manages to make that awfull button creation look respectable.

Madleine looked bored out of her mind at the ceremony but very sweet and happy at the dinner, Im glad she dressed her age this time, she is till young and those severe chignons and all covered up dresses does nothing for her. I like her dress, its not WOW but she looks good in it.

Victoria really looks perfect from the neck up, I think the colour of the dress washes her out and makes her arms look very buff

I wish I had been able to see the ceremony live and not just pictures

 

[Dennism]

Thank you, GrandDuchess. Those are really cool photos. I like this one of Madeleine:

Yes, what is with the flowers on the head? I mean, the girls look okay, but the guys have flowers that one would normally put in a vase, sticking out of their head.

yay..finally someone who thinks the button tiara(s) are awful!!! *hate them* ...but sumhow..lillian makes them look "ok"


and i maintain that victoria should know by now that colour fit her...not this "iceblueish"shade

just their way on how to decorate the tables this year..i think its crap..the flowers should be there from the beginning..it just looks look like some kind of clowns or so

In picture 3 you can see the Mistress of the Robes (behind the PM's wife, Anitra Steen, in red), one of the few non-royals who usually wear a tiara at special occasions like the Nobel. Picture 4 is of the Party Leader of the Center Party (in an awful purple dress , it makes her look buff, and I think "German beer girl at Oktober fest"...), picture 5 is of the President of Swedish Television and her husband, picture 6 is of the Party Leader of the Moderate Party (Conservatives) and his wife.

 

[Dennism]

Wow, those are some bright dresses especially that purple one. More from Getty:

maud olfsson def got the coolest colour of the evening in my opinion..not so sure bout the model of the dress though..she look like a stuffed sausage

The banquet's dinner is over now, the Table of Honour are leaving in procession up through the stairs. The dance in the Golden Hall will soon begin, and the Royal Family are heading for the Prince's Gallery where they will chat with the Laureates and their families during the evening.
