For the princess, who is expecting her fourth child, a design by Rodebjer—a brand that moves between the cosmopolitan streets of New York and the stunning landscape of the Swedish island of Gotlandia in the Baltic Sea—was the right choice. The voluminous cape sleeves, which move as one walks with great theatricality and drama, are exactly what any woman would want to wear while making a triumphant entrance. The cut—loose, but not baggy—is also ideal for feeling comfortable, an essential element in any maternity wear.
As much as we want to keep fixing our gaze on this gorgeous dress, we can’t help but notice another part of Princess Sofia’s outfit: her gravity-defying heels. Designed by Gianvito Rossi, the heel’s height is a difficult one to pull off. While the classic cut and shiny, pointed-toe finish might fool one into thinking these are a wardrobe staple, we know that only those who wear this kind of shoe regularly could do it without truly suffering.
Defiant heights aside, Princess Sofia of Sweden is elegance personified. So much so that I’m going to start shopping for cape dresses right now. As for the shoes, I think I’ll go with a lower heel.
