Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden is currently on an extensive tour of Asia, which began with a visit to Japan. Her schedule was packed, including high-level meetings with Emperor Naruhito and Empress Masako, as well as participation in events dedicated to innovation and sustainable development. After Tokyo, the Swedish heir continued on to South Korea to further her mission of strengthening economic and cultural ties between Scandinavia and East Asia.
It was in Seoul, ten thousand kilometers away from Madrid, that an intriguing fashion dialogue took place. Crown Princess Victoria’s look unexpectedly echoed a recent appearance by Queen Letizia of Spain, showcasing the remarkable stylistic unity of the two royals. This event once again proved that the language of fashion knows no borders.
Recently, there has been a noticeable transformation in the wardrobes of royal women. While they previously favored midi dresses and elegant skirts for daytime events, the trouser suit has now become their main professional ‘tool.’ In just the past few days, several prominent figures, including Kate Middleton, Meghan Markle, and Princess Charlene, have chosen this outfit for their official engagements.
However, while British and Monegasque aristocrats opted for neutral shades like sand or beige, the Spanish queen and the Swedish crown princess took a different approach. Both chose fiery red, creating powerful and memorable looks that symbolize confidence and strength.
Almost at the same time as Doña Letizia appeared in Rome in her famous scarlet Carolina Herrera suit, Victoria wore a very similar ensemble in Seoul. She chose a set from Spanish brand The Extreme Collection, known for its impeccable blazers. The crown princess completed the look with a blouse featuring a vibrant floral pattern by Camilla Thulin, classic black pumps by Gianvito Rossi, and a matching Saint Laurent clutch. The finishing touches were bold cross-shaped earrings by Maria Nila and sleekly styled hair in a bun, lending the look a sense of rigor and elegance.
