Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden celebrates her 37th birthday today. Over the past two years, we have seen Victoria in very few hats as she has usually chosen feathery or floral fascinators. I’m not sure this has always been a good millinery choice for her. Instead of fussy fascinators, I would love to see Victoria embrace more substantial hat shapes that fit better with her modern, clean-lined fashion aesthetic. I think Victoria could carry off hats in interesting shapes- percher and cocktail hats that are not large in scale but architecturally interesting and without fussy embellishment. I would love to see her in something along the lines of this beauty, designed by Australian milliner Jill Humphries of Jill & Jack Millinery. The colour and the gently waved lines would be beautiful on Victoria.
That’s my pick for Crown Princess Victoria. What hat would you like to see her wear?

She often wears Fabienne Delvigne.
I loved the peach hat and dress Princess Victoria wore for William and Kate’s wedding. Jane Taylor’s Fleur ruffled beret might be nice as its in the same peach tone. I also love the blue hat you suggested.

I usually like Jane Taylor hats but the ruffle on that hat looks like a rooster tail.
I don’t think anyone here can top Hat Queen’s suggested turquoise fluted hat.
I wish she would wear a small stylized trilby. This one is from Donna Karan’s 2014 AW show. Divine.
I don’t like the color but the idea is interesting. I think the blue hat suggested originally at the top would be great.
Victoria seems like a classic beauty to me. I think she would look great in a cloche like this green one

I like a lot of the suggestions here. The blue one in the post is interesting (without looking ridiculous) and the green cloche is cute. On that same website was a classic black and white hat that I think would look very stylish on Princess Victoria. I think she wears quite a lot of black and white.
I can see Princess Victoria looking really good in that green cloche hat. Not many royals wear that shape of hat.
Thanks Hat Queen, I do love the blue hat you suggested. I like her in wide brimmed hats as they balance her rather pointy chin. I don’t think she suits the very small fascinators she often wears.
The blue hat is perfect! On the Jill and Jack website I found this pink hat which would be such a great statement hat forCP Victoria.

The blue hat IS wonderful and that pink hat is amazing too. I can see it with one of the pink lace dresses CP Victoria has worn recently.
blue & pink are both great hats. Also this blue pillbox with felt flowers. So cute for winter.
Jill & Jack make brilliant hats. Too bad they are Aussie and we likely won’t see a royal ever wear one.
sorry forgot the link

ADORE the blue hat you suggested! I suggest a classic navy beret made modern with a veil. It’s by William Chambers
I wanted to suggest a Swedish milliner but couldn’t find any. Can anyone recommend?
SUPER cute! I also really like the blue one that Hat Queen suggested.
Your pick is great for Vikki but I’d love to see her in something edgier. Vivienne Sheriff feathers would be fab!
Vikki could look good in vintage hats like Downton Abbey Style.

I would like to see her in a wide-brimmed hat like this one from Berkeley Hat http://ep.yimg.com/ca/I/hatstore_2272_247010168
She wore a similar large brimmed hat in black straw with a white band around the crown on June 17 and it looked wonderful on her! I also like wide brimmed hats on Crown Princess Victoria but wonder if they might be too formal for the informal nature of many of her engagements. Somehow, the smaller berets and percher hats seem less formal.
I think the hat you chose would be perfect. Not to frou-frou for her, and make a lovely statement. Good choice!
Gorgeous hat. Here’s another Jill and Jack that would be great on Victoria.
This hat and the blue one Hat Queen suggested are AMAZING. I have never heard of Jill and Jack Millinery before but their hats are perfect for a few royal heads. Victoria for sure, but also Kate and Mary who it makes sense to be wearing Aussie designed hats. LOVE!!
I love the hat you chose! I think some of Jane Taylor’s berets might be nice too.

I meant to suggest 2 hats here is the other one

That hat is perfect for Victoria! Good choice HatQueen!
Beautiful hat!
This hat is exquisite, in shape and color. What a beautiful choice you have made! And I agree, she definitely could carry it off… I’d love to see her wearing many styles. But, as you noted, she seems not to wear them much, which is our loss!
That being said, she has a wider jawline. I wonder if certain hats go best with certain face shapes? Or?
I love that blue hat (the one Royal Hats suggested). Why don’t more royals wear hats with interesting shapes? It’s so pretty and so creative. It reminds me a Jane Corbett hat from a few years ago that would also be brilliant for Princess Victoria
