Here, Victoria looks like she's getting some VERY juicy gossip from Carl-Henrik Heldin, who is Chairman of the Board of the Nobel Foundation. [Our friends at Order of Splendor have vast and excellent coverage of the many tiaras of this event, as ever](https://orderofsplendor.blogspot.com/2018/12/royal-fashion-awards-nobel-prizes-2018.html?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io). Here, Vic is wearing the Connaught Tiara, which I love on her... ## Crown Princess Victoria ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/12/shutterstock_10020553f-1544724665.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by IBL/REX/Shutterstock (10020553f) Crown Princess Victoria Nobel Prize Ceremony, Stockholm, Sweden - 10 Dec 2018 ...and a Nina Ricci gown that her mother wore to this same event in 1995\. (She loves to shop her mother's wardrobe.) It's VERY dramatic, but I love it. I also briefly thought it was a cropped top, which would have been SHOCKING. ## Crown Princess Victoria, George P.

As far as I can tell, this is used to help create drugs, especially cancer-fighting ones. All these people are smart! ## Crown Princess Victoria ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/12/shutterstock_10023234e-1544724856.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by David Niviere/SIPA/REX/Shutterstock (10023234e) Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden attends the Nobel Prize Banquet 2018 at City Hall Nobel Prize banquet, Stockholm, Sweden - 10 Dec 2018 Those earrings aren't too bad either, truly. ## Nobel Laureates gala ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/12/shutterstock_10030442b-1544724956.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by IBL/REX/Shutterstock (10030442b) Crown Princess Victoria Nobel Laureates gala, Stockholm, Sweden - 11 Dec 2018 This look is ALSO stunning.

Nobel 2018 Prize Ceremony in Stockholm, Sweden - 10 Dec 2018 Daniel escorted Frances H. Arnold, who looks spectacular. She shared the Chemistry award with George Smith and Greg Winter, and she is the first American woman to ever win the Nobel in chemistry (and the fifth woman ever). [Her Wikipedia page is extremely impressive](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frances%5FArnold?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), but also somewhat sad, as she has suffered great personal tragedy in her life as well as tremendous success. All of these people are so amazingly smart. ## Donna Strickland, King Carl Gustaf ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/12/shutterstock_10020703d-1544724700.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by IBL/REX/Shutterstock (10020703d) Donna Strickland, Professor Laureate in Physics 2018, King Carl Gustaf Nobel Prize banquet, Stockholm, Sweden - 10 Dec 2018 Donna Strickland took the award in physics 2018, and she ALSO looks fantastic. LADIES, you have brought it with your brilliance AND your outfits! She shared the award with with Gérard Mourou, "for the invention of chirped pulse amplification." [Wiki tells me that this is something to do with lasers.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirped%5Fpulse%5Famplification?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io) If I am understanding [her Wiki](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donna%5FStrickland?ref=go-fug-yourself.ghost.io), these lasers are very useful in surgeries, especially those on the eyes. She's only the third woman to ever win the Nobel in Physics. (One of the others was Marie Curie, so....pretty good company.) ## Princess Christina, Tasuku Honjo ![](https://static.gofugyourself.com/uploads/2018/12/shutterstock_10020703k-1544724737.jpg) Mandatory Credit: Photo by IBL/REX/Shutterstock (10020703k) Princess Christina, Tasuku Honjo, Professor, Laureate in Physiology or Medicine 2018 Nobel Prize banquet, Stockholm, Sweden - 10 Dec 2018 That's a nice color on Princess Christina.
