This year's peace prize went to Swedish Secretary General Beatrice Fihne and Setsuko Thurlow on behalf of the ICAN nuclear weapons organisation, amid rapturous applause from the audience.
In Sweden, Queen Silvia, 73, looked impeccable in a vibrant magenta dress and ceremonial sash, while her eldest daughter Crown Princess Victoria, 40, stunned in a sweeping powder blue number.
The sleeveless chiffon frock featured a ruched bodice and elaborate pie-crust collar, with the first-in-line to the throne topping off her show-stopping look with a dazzling tiara.
The Swedish royals dust off their jewels only on formal occasions, with the prestigious Nobel ceremony the perfect excuse to show off the family heirlooms.
Victoria donned the Aquamarine Kokoshnik, which once belonged to Sweden's Princess Margaretha and has been in the family ever since.
Her father, King Carl XVI Gustaf handed out prizes to winners including Kazuo Ishiguro, who won the prize for Literature.

Sofia donned a jaw-dropping nude gown, while Madeleine's ensemble featured sparkling pink embellishment and a sweeping skirt.
The Nobel Prize Banquet held at Stockholm's City Hall was a blaze of gold candelabra, rows of hand-tied floral arrangements, and richly attired royals hosting the world's biggest brains and brightest talent after the Nobel Prize ceremony at the city's concert hall.
And the women of Sweden's royal family pulled out all the stops - along with the family jewels - to look their best for the splendid occasion.
