On July 4, 2023, King Philippe and Queen Mathilde attended the unveiling ceremony of their busts in the Senate. The new sculptures were created by artist Hans Op de Beeck and will be displayed in the Green Room of the Senate. The unveiling coincides with the celebration of the 10th anniversary of the coronation of King Philippe. Hans Op de Beeck is a Belgian visual artist, who lives and works in Brussels.
The Senate is one of the two chambers of the bicameral Federal Parliament of Belgium, the other being the Chamber of Representatives. The Green Room of the Senate houses the busts of a number of Belgian royal couples.
Not the prettiest of dresses for me, and I think it could have been a little longer by an inch or two. It is very fitted as well, but this looks good on Mathilde.

The dress is knee length, I don't think it need to be longer. Queen Mathilde looks elegant.

Everyone looks lovely. I especially like the statues, those are really well made and they're true lookalikes (which isn't always the case).
ردحذفThe red shoes are a very good addition to the soft-coloured nice dress.
ردحذفI think the statues are very good.

Personally I find this dress alo't better close up than from a distance, the pattern of the fabric, especially. Love the red accessories.
ردحذفThey look lovely indeed.
ردحذفWoow! The busts are very well made with sophisticated details (the Queen’s hair style and the King’s outfit!).

I donat like the print. Feels like staring eyes. Otherwise it looks good, nice fit and love the red shoes and handbag.

These two Statues of the King and Queen never get old, how nice it must be always looking the same. No wrinkles or sagging, of skin ha ha. I don't care to much for this dress. Happy 4th of July everyone. css
ردحذف@Anon 9:13 It is one of Queen Mathilde's older dresses. Dresses were shorter then. I admire her for recycling her older dresses. Normally you will see her in a new dress on the 21st of this month when it is Belgium's National Day.

@Rose: Thank you for that information. I suspected that it was one of her older dresses due to the sizing and fit. However like you, I applaud Q.Mathilde for re-wearing/recycling an older dress and getting more use from it. I'm all for that 100%

Nice dress but needs a different neckline. Also, a missed opportunity to go for some red lipstick.
ردحذفI like the dress and it works with the red touch of accessories. I find her statute to resemble her person better than the king one.
ردحذفReally like the pictures when she is looking at "him" she seems amused

The bust of the King does not look like him, especially around the nose and mouth area. The Queens' bust, looks very nice. However the dress she wore had an odd pattern and was too short, especially when she was seated. Gemma
ردحذفBelle silhouette mais avec quelques centimètres plus longue, la robe ajustée serait mieux équilibrée par rapport au haut. J'ai essayé de mieux voir ses boucles d'oreilles, c'est manqué !
ردحذفTotalement d'accord avec vous.
