Princess Sofia of Sweden opted for an elegant all-white ensemble as she joined her husband, Prince Carl Philip, for a cultural engagement near Stockholm.
The couple visited the new Kulturhuset Sundbyberg in Ursvik on Friday, ahead of its official public opening on Saturday 22 August.
The Princess, 41, wore a short-sleeved white cashmere top by Swedish label Soft Goat with a flowing, floor-length pleated skirt in the same shade.
The royal completed the monochrome look with pointed cream pumps and a selection of silver jewellery, including her wedding and engagement rings, bracelets and a Rolex watch.
Her long brunette hair was worn loose in soft waves, while her makeup was kept understated for the daytime event.
Prince Carl Philip, 47, coordinated with his wife in a navy suit and crisp white shirt, worn without a tie. He finished his relaxed tailoring with black leather lace-up shoes and a Rolex watch.

They were also photographed talking with schoolchildren during the visit and spoke with young pianist Alice Peng, who performed at the event.
Located at Ursviks torg, the new cultural centre has been designed as a community meeting place with a particular focus on how children and young people spend their free time.

Art and culture is clearly important to the couple. Before joining the royal family, Sofia studied an arts programme specialising in music, while Carl Philip completed studies in graphic design in Stockholm and at the Rhode Island School of Design in the US.
The Prince has also exhibited his photography and has run a design company with a business partner since 2012.

Sofia and Carl Philip have been married since 2015 and celebrated their 11th wedding anniversary earlier this year.
The couple are parents to four children: Prince Alexander, ten, Prince Gabriel, eight, Prince Julian, five, and one-year-old Princess Ines, their only daughter.
