It is hard to believe Crown Princess Victoria was at the Stockholm Waterfront Congress Centre on Tuesday and not emerging from the ocean. 

The future queen of Sweden, 47, was seen arriving at the Stockholm Junior Water Prize ceremony in style.

She wore a bespoke Max Jenny dress which had a classic 1950s vintage A-line silhouette with a cinched waistline and a crew neck.

The voluminous blue number had a water print to be in keeping with the evening's theme.

King Carl XVI Gustaf's daughter leaned into the nautical theme with a pair of coordinating sea blue heels from Jimmy Choo and carried the 'Layla Blue Suede Envelope Clutch' from L.K. Bennett.

Vibrant blue is a flattering shade on the Swedish royal. She was seen arriving at Westminster Abbey for the Coronation of King Charles and Queen Camilla in a cobalt pencil skirt look with a pillar box hat and matching suede pumps.

As per her usual style, Victoria wore her brunette locks in a low bun which was swept back from her face. It is unusual for royal women to wear their hair slicked off their faces for every outing. 

Take the Princess of Wales or the Duchess of Edinburgh for example who often rock bouncy blowdrys for public engagements. "Crown Princess Victoria’s choice of a low bun isn’t just a personal preference but a reflection of royal protocol and practicality," Art director at Neville Hair & Beauty, Jason Crozier, previously told HELLO!.

"This hairstyle upholds the elegance and formality required of her royal duties, ensuring she presents a polished appearance at all public engagements. Moreover, a low bun is incredibly versatile, complementing a wide range of outfits from formal gowns to more casual attire, making it a practical choice for someone with a busy schedule like hers."

Meanwhile, in June Victoria headed out with her daughter Princess Estelle to celebrate Sweden's National Day. The royal mother-daughter duo wore traditional Swedish dress in hues of navy and mustard yellow known as the Sverigedräkten.

She last popped on a pair of stylish stilettos in May when she attended the annual meeting of the friends of the Nordic Museum and Skansen at the Nordic Museum.
