Nobel Prize 2024: See every fashion moment from this year's gala

As the world gathers to celebrate the pinnacle of human achievement at the Nobel Prize ceremonies, the spotlight isn’t only on groundbreaking discoveries and awe-inspiring laureates. It’s also on the art of fashion – an integral part of the historic event. With opulent gowns gracing the grand halls of Stockholm, the Nobel Prize Gala is a runway of refinement and cultural expression.

Looking to the Swedish royal family, elegant ensembles prevailed with some members opting for upcycled looks or repeat wearing of gowns. Queen Silvia made a case for the enduring appeal of bows in a navy sequinned design by Shahla Namdar, complete with taffeta flourishes. By her side on stage for the Award presentations, Crown Princess Victoria stunned in a layered chiffon gown by Christer Lindarw, featuring dramatic tulle in shifting shades of grey and lavender.

Meanwhile, Princess Madeleine of Sweden – returning to the Nobel proceedings after a five-year hiatus – went green in more ways than one – swathing herself in upcycled, verdant silk and chiffon for the evening by way of a Fadi El Khoury-designed gown. Lastly, Princess Sofia of Sweden shone in an Yves Klein blue gown by Danish designer Soeren Le Schmidt which she chose to rewear for the Gala after donning it for her Vogue Scandinavia cover story.

Beyond the royal contingent, the event welcomed some significant figures from the Swedish political sphere. Ebba Busch, Sweden's Minister of Energy and Industry, Deputy Prime Minister and Party Leader for Christian Democrats wore a head-turning magenta gown created by Charlotte Backryd from deadstock silk taffeta from Paris and adorned with recycled stones from vintage clothing. "Ebba and I shared similar dreams about how the dress should be envisioned," Backryd told Vogue Scandinavia ahead of the Gala. "It is inspired by orchids and nature's ability to make flowers bloom even in the harshest climates." Constructed at the designer's atelier in Kungsholmen, the piece is a masterclass in meticulous detailing, with tiny crystals sewn at the centre of each organza flower.

Elsewhere, Culture Minister Parisa Liljestrand opted for a raspberry-red silk gown by Camilla Thulin, complete with a corseted bodice and large tulle underskirt. Amongst the bold hues, politician and economist Magdalena Andersson stood out in a white silk crepe gown by Göran Alfredsson at Thalia Atelier, boasting a classic silhouette and extraordinary embroidery detailing in silver and gold. "I have been making dresses for the Nobel for 45 years," said Alfredsson, going on to note it is the fourth dress he has created for Andersson. "We have worked together a lot and know each other well," he commented.

Lastly, Astrid Söderbergh Widding – chancellor of Stockholm University and chair of the Nobel Foundation since 2023 – mirrored Princess Sofia of Sweden in a bright blue A-line evening gown, hers with a long, dramatic train. Also designed by Camilla Thulin, the dress featured a draped collar, coordinating blue Swarovski buttons, and a large bow at the shoulder – suitable embellishments for her to wear as she led the procession to the banquet with Carl XVI Gustaf.

Join in the action as Vogue Scandinavia documents every dazzling look, spotlighting the designers, traditions, and unique Nordic elegance that define the Nobel Prize’s fashion legacy.
