Fit for a royal! Since joining the Swedish royal family in June, Princess Sofia has been turning heads with her high-end fashion choices. But for her first engagement since announcing her pregnancy, the 30-year-old opted for a more affordable brand.
The expectant mom attended The Royal Swedish Academy of Engineering Sciencewith her husband-of-four-months, Prince Carl Philip on October 23 in a floor-length peach ASOS gown.
The sequined gown features a twisted front detail that hugged her growing baby bump to perfection. The gown that is not part of their maternity collection definitely did not break the bank as it is available for only $143.
Themom-to-be isn’t the only Swedish royal that loves the ASOS brand. Sofia’ssister-in-law Crown Princess Victoria, who is also pregnant, has been seen outand about wearing the company’s clothing. The mom-of-one wore a red and blackstar print dress sold by the online retailer, to attend a royal engagement inLima, Peru.
Provingthat she is one of the most down-to-earth royals, during their royal visit to the country, Victoria and her husband Prince Daniel visited affordableclothing company H&M’s flagship store in Lima.

During their tour of the shop the royal couple got to view the much-anticipated Balmain for H&M collection, which is scheduled for worldwiderelease on November 5.
