Princess Sofia of Sweden captured in exquisite portrait to mark 40th birthday
Princess Sofia of Sweden turned 40 on Friday, and to mark the occasion, a dazzling new portrait of the royal was released.
The mother-to-be has never looked more glamorous, posing up a storm in a resplendent red satin gown during a recent photoshoot and interview with Vogue Scandinavia.The vibrant dress featured a dramatic, structured strapless top and was paired with a silver bangle.
Sofia's brunette locks were styled immaculately, framing her camera-ready face beautifully. As for her dazzling makeup, the Swedish princess opted for a subtle look that elevated her natural beauty, comprising light touches of mascara, pink lipstick, and warm bronzer.
As for how Sofia, 39 — who is expecting her fourth child with her husband, Prince Carl Philip — is going to mark the incredible milestone, she told the publication: "I'm going to be quite highly pregnant.
"So, I think a bigger birthday party will wait a little bit. So probably just with my closest friends and family. I would not change where I am at all. I'm in a very happy place in life."
