Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden\u2019s trip to the United States<\/a> continued last night with a gala reception for the inauguration of the Consulate General of Sweden in Houston.<\/p>\n

For the occasion, the Swedish heir to the throne wore a sparkling, sequined column dress from H&M paired with \u201cDream Dragonfly Earrings\u201d from Swedish jeweler Maria Nilsdotter. The dragonfly earrings are a thoughtful nod to the Lone Star State; according to the Texas Wildlife Association<\/a>, there are over 150 different species of dragonfly in the state.<\/p>\n
