  1. Vreselijk kleed, goud en voor de rest geen enkele fantasie, Koningin Mathilde moet wel eens ergens anders haar outfits zoeken, zie Laetizia vandaag -vlot en licht zomerkleedje.
    Dit kleed van Mathilde kan ik ook ontwerpen-ze is echt op het verkeerde pad qua mode.

    Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful dress on Queen Mathilde! Wonderful fit! Secret: she’s wearing the belt lower, thus extending her torso. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

  3. Goldiges Kleid, um den Anlass entsprechend zu ehren. Es steht ihr sehr gut. Die Taille sitzt an der richtigen Stelle und es hat eine perfekte Länge. Mir war nicht bewusst, dass Eddy Merckx ein Baron ist. Ich nehme an, er wurde wegen seiner Leistungen im Radsport geadelt.

      Sure. Eddy Merckx still is the most successfull cyclist in history ever. With 525 victorys in road races (five times winner of the Tour de France, five times winner of the Giro d'Italia, three times world champion in roadcycling) he still stands a class of it's own. By the way: I don't like that dress. The fabric is weird and the fitting is not very well. Makes Mathilde look way to formal for such a hot summers day.

    Ich finde es schön irgendwie. Das Kleid hat einen klassischen Schnitt, eine perfekte Länge und eine auffällige Farbe-passend zum Sonnenschein. Mathildes Frisur finde ich auch sehr elegant.

    What a nice event the 50th Anniversary of the Tour de France. The Queen looks nice yellow seem to suit her. I must also say the King looks very handsome and he is 59, both look great.

      It's not the 50th Anniversary of the Tour de France - le Tour was born in 1903, only interrupted during WW I + II. It was 50 years ago in 1969 when Eddy Merckx won the Tour de France for the first time. So this is another reason why the Grand Depart will be held in Brussels today.

    2. How right you are! The fabric is not only horrific, but radioactive too.

  13. Same as with Maxima earlier in the week... great colour but horrid shiny fabric. Queen looks great, love her hair but not the best dress she’s worn.

    1. Shiny fabric can be nice, to judge on case by case; for me not this one.

    What is the fabric of the Queen’s dress? Looks like raw silk.

    Not a fan of the color or material of her dress. Her hair style is lovely!
