Nobel banquet
Well, been that time of the year again, lots of gentlemen in tails and about no ladies. For the first time, one of the invited female students (acting as ushers of a sort) chose to wear tails instead of a gown, to make a LBGT statement about how a garment doesn't belong to one gender etc. A laudable intention, but I would definitely advise her to find one in her own size and try to make it look at least a little classy for the occasion if she wants to be taken seriously.

Also, Swedish television made a program series discussing the prizes and interviewing winners, and the 4 female presenters wore tails in the promo materials. Unfortunately, only two of them bothered to put on ties. What a trendy fashion statement, not.

Finally, Swedish minister of culture Lena Liljeroth wore a tailcoat with her dress for last years festivities, but she neglected to include the interesting part. I've rectified this oversight in photoshop:D

Re: Nobel banquet
Well, if you have Replay Media Catcher or Jaksta you can download the interview clip without problems. (I haven't kept it since I don't care much for ill-fitting suits:) )
The trailer is a bit harder - I've recorded it with Camstudio but I missed a setting and got no sound; I'm not bothered with missing that so if you're ok with a silent clip you can get it here:

Also, I remade that edit to get a pic with more natural lighting/sharpness; here it is.
Actually, I've seen a pic of this lady wearing a bow tie for real - it was for some event many years ago, she was wearing a yellow satin bow tie directly around her neck (shirtless, that is) with a yellow jacket and black overcoat if my memory serves. Unfortunately I haven't got it anymore....

Re: Nobel banquet
I was looking for the trailer. Thank you very much.
I 100% agree with you about such ill-fitting suits
