Morgan, an intimate black-tie dinner gathered leaders from the worlds of culture, business, sport and design, echoing how the festival has become a meeting place for the creative industries as much as the automotive world.

Against the backdrop of the Swedish coastline, guests arrived in elegant eveningwear for cocktails and champagne before taking their seats for an intimate dinner at Villa Abeline. The atmosphere mirrored that of the festival itself: refined yet relaxed, where conversations moved effortlessly from craftsmanship and collecting to fashion, food and performance.
Among those in attendance weas Vogue Scandinavia editor-in-chief Martina Bonnier, wearing an avant-garde gown by Ari The Brand, paired with pieces from the Tiffany Titan collection by Pharrell Williams for Tiffany & Co. Throughout the evening, she was joined by many of the icons who had appeared in the magazine's lounge over the course of the weekend, including Olympic champion Johannes Klæbo, chef Tommy Myllymäki, artist Clara Hallencreutz, actor Fares Fares and two-time Eurovision winner Loreen. Former Vogue Scandinavia cover star Princess Sofia of Sweden also attended the evening's celebrations alongside her husband, Prince Carl Philip, whose brand Bernadotte & Kylberg has partnered with The Aurora for several years.
