In 2015, former model Sofia Hellqvist (39) had her life turned upside down when she married Prince Carl Philip of Sweden (44) and was given the title of princess.
Break for 47 days
In the last nine years, and even before the couple gave each other their “yes”, she has received enormous attention, and is diligently photographed out on assignments.
She is a self-described guest at royal functions, and was naturally present on Wednesday evening, when King Carl Gustaf (77) and Queen Silvia (80) invited Finland’s presidential couple, Alexander Stubb (56) and Suzanne Innes-Stubb (54), to a gala dinner .

For the dinner, Sofia wore a navy blue creation with decorations, loose hair and a tiara. Several royal fans have already managed to notice her outfit, writes Svensk Damtidning.
– Belongs to another life
This is not the first time the 39-year-old has been seen in the dress, nor with a tiara.
The dress is signed by designer Oscar de la Renta and she wore it for the first time during the Nobel banquet the same year she married Carl Philip.
The tiara, which she has also worn in the past, was given to her as a wedding present by the royal couple.
Se og Hør’s royal house expert Caroline Vagle says “thank you and praise for reuse!”.
Furious at the son-in-law
– It would be a shame to have dresses as beautiful as this one from Oscar de la Renta in the closet without wearing them over and over, says Vagle, and continues:
– Sofia looked just as brilliant in the navy blue creation yesterday, as the first time she wore it in 2015. That time as a fresh-faced princess at the Nobel gala.

Vagle says that in contrast to then, on Tuesday she had turned out the lids.
– But the diadem is the same. However with a small difference. The stones.
Vagle explains that the princess can replace these on the tiara.
– Yesterday she had blue stones, the original ones were green. But we have also seen her use, among other things, turquoise stones. A useful tiara there!
