CROWN PRINCESS VICTORIA OF SWEDENSweden's future Queen definitely embraced color, prints and feminine silhouettes this year. While she does step out in designer clothes, she's just as likely to be seen in custom and off-the-rack looks from H&M – like the brand's 2017 collaboration with Erdem – as she flies the flag for Swedish fashion.
