This week, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden made a solo visit to Bangladesh, where she wore sparkling earrings for a pair of gala events early in the trip.
On Monday, Crown Princess Victoria began an official visit to Bangladesh with the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). The Crown Princess is one of the program’s goodwill ambassadors. On the first evening of the visit, Victoria attended an official welcome dinner in Dhaka.
Her host was the country’s long-serving prime minister, Sheikha Hasina. (She’s currently the world’s longest-serving female head of government.) Hasina is the daughter of Sheikh Mujibur Rahman, the Bengali statesman who is known as the “Father of the Nation” in Bangladesh. His portrait is positioned between Victoria and Hasina in the photograph above.
For the dinner, Crown Princess Victoria wore a lovely dress with a pink floral print. UFO No More tells us that the dress is from the brand By Malina.
Victoria accessorized with gold jewelry. She wore a favorite pair of gold and diamond flower earrings from Kreuger, plus a delicate gold necklace with tiny diamond pendants from Engelbert Stockholm. She’s been pictured in the necklace very frequently over the last two years.
She also wore rings on both hands: her engagement and wedding rings on her left, and this chunkier silver-toned ring on her right. I don’t know this for sure, but the ring looks quite a lot like one of the health and fitness tracker rings that have become so popular recently.
On Tuesday, the Crown Princess wrapped up day two of her trip with another gala dinner, this time at Asian University for Women in Chattogram. The dinner followed a tour of the university, where she met with several students.
Wearing another patterned dress from By Malina, Victoria also unveiled a portrait painting of herself at the university during the visit.
She accessorized with a modern pair of statement earrings that picked up the blue and green tones of the gown. These are the Prisma earrings from Sägen Sweden. They’re gold-plated and set with blue glass “gems.”
By the by, that painting unveiled by Victoria at the university is based on a gorgeous photograph from a series of official portraits released by the court in the spring of 2022. In the image, Victoria wears the Napoleonic Cut-Steel Tiara, a terrific and innovative diadem made using gold and highly-polished steel in the early years of the nineteenth century. She’s also wearing diamond and pearl drop earrings and a gorgeous diamond and pearl brooch, both from the family’s jewelry collection. I like comparing the photograph with the portrait–the artist has done a really interesting visual interpretation of the tiara details, capturing the shape without being focused on the piece’s complicated details.
