The 2025 edition of the prestigious Polar Music Prize unfolded last night at Stockholm’s Grand Hôtel, drawing celebrities, royals, diplomats and the who’s-who of the music world to the Swedish capital. Often referred to as the ‘Nobel Prize of Music’, the award honours the most outstanding achievements across all genres. Presented under the patronage of King Carl XVI Gustaf, the event is a mainstay on the royal calendar, with Queen Silvia, King Carl XVI Gustaf, Crown Princess Victoria, Crown Prince Daniel, and Prince Carl Philip all gracing the red carpet yesterday.
You can always count on the fête to deliver a major sartorial moment or two, led by Crown Princess Victoria, renowned for her dazzling Polar Music Prize looks. For this year’s spectacle, the Crown Princess leaned into gothic elegance with her all-black ensemble comprising a fitted off-the-shoulder top paired with a cascading layered tulle skirt by Selam Fessahaye and patent leather Gianvito Rossi pumps. The final flourish to her dark romantic look? A striking set of Maria Nilsdotter jewellery that snaked around her neck and adorned her ears.
