Crown Princess Victoria wears a slick low bun on every royal engagement and has done so for decades.
But in the nineties, the Swedish royal, now 47, wasn't afraid of switching up her hair look and even went for a daring look for a special occasion which had her looking like a sci-fi icon.

Stylish royals unite

Crown Princess Victoria's 90s style

Prince Daniel's wife is a major fan of a power suit for her royal outings and frequently rocks a brightly-coloured style from the highstreet brand Zara.
© GettyHer love affair with a power suit started in the nineties as Victoria was seen arriving at the 1997 wedding of Infanta Cristina of Spain to Inaki Urdangarin at Barcelona Cathedral in a white skirt suit with the most unexpected dazzling white top hat.
© GettySkirtsuits were the royal order of the day in 1999 when the Princess attended the wedding of Princess Alexia of Greece to Carlos Morales Quintana at the St. Sophia Cathedral in London.
King Carl XVI Gustaf's eldest opted for a neutral co-ord with a taupe hat and heels while her 17-year-old sister Princess Madeleine, now 42, chose a pale pink shift dress and blazer with a hat to match.
