Princess Victoria of Sweden imitates Kate Middleton in a Zara blazer
Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden always looks stunning when she steps out in public for an engagement. The royal isn’t afraid to make a statement with her choice of clothing, and yesterday was an example of this as she opted for an all-green outfit.
The princess visited the Tobias register at Huddinge hospital yesterday, October 21, in the Swedish capital. The Tobias register is a system that matches people living with life-threatening blood diseases and donors who want to share their blood stem cells.
For the occasion, the royals donned a pale green suit from high street favorite Zara. The jacket was the Inverted Lapel Long Blazer, while the trousers were High-Waist Trousers with a belt.
Zara described the jacket on its website as “tailored jacket with reverse lapels and long sleeves with shoulder pads. Fitted front pockets. Front metal hook closure”.
It’s no longer available to buy on the high street chain’s website, but Zara has plenty of other blazers to choose from.

Interestingly, Kate, the Princess of Wales, has the same blazer as Princess Victoria, stuck in ecru.
The princess has worn it more than once this year, including for a visit to a baby bank in June, and for her and Prince William’s appearance on BBC Radio One on World Mental Health Day earlier this month.
Both times, Kate teamed the blazer with a matching ecru top and smart black trousers.
As for Princess Victoria, she dressed up her Zara suit with a black bow blouse and black heels.
DO NOT MISS:
The boots were Levy 85 Black Leather Ankle Boots by Gianvito Rossi, who is a favorite designer among the royals. Queen Letizia of Spain often wears his shoe designs for royal engagements.
Victoria matched her outfit with a black handbag by Swedish designer Vogt.
She completed her look with a pair of large gold earrings.
These were Petal Stud Earrings from the jewelry brand Edblad. The designer no longer sells the earrings on its website, but previously described them, saying: “Pebble’s beautiful design takes its inspiration from the calmness of the sea and its natural movement, giving the stones their soft shape.

“Pebble studs are elegant and trendy, making them perfect for both day and night. For a complete look, combine with the short necklace.”
Victoria has worn these earrings several times in the past, adding wow factor to any outfit.
The royal’s hair was pulled back in a sleek, low ponytail, and she wore minimal make-up.
Royal fans were quick to comment on Victoria’s look, praising her for the boldness of the green suit. However, many had a problem with one part of the princess’s outfit – her shoes.

User @fashion_visual_reference said: “Wrong shoes. Should have been a hairpin.”
User @birdnerd327 commented: “I think the green looks good on her and the fit is good. I love the top half, it’s the bottom that’s a miss. I’m not a big fan of the pants and the booties don’t work with the length The strap sandal the model is wearing looks better with them Evening wear Victoria is almost always a hit so it’s puzzling that her daytime wear is hit or miss (mainly miss).
User@ talesofthewales added: “It’s a 9/10 for me. Love the green and black combo. I just wish she had heels instead of heels.”
User @corny_o__ said: “Absolutely wrong shoes, better pumps, great colors, the contrast from the shoes is too harsh.”
