  1. Mathilde looks quite nice; a bit difficult to give an opinion since we see very little of her outfit.

  2. Les couleurs bleu-marine et blanc de sa tenue sont bien combinées ; chaussures à talons à l'élégant décolleté !

    Queen Mathilde wore this white and navy dress by Dries Van Nooten 2 x in 2016, 1 x in 2017. The hat is 10 years old. I think this look is very appropriate for an episcopal ordination. There are only a few pictures of her. I think photographers were not allowed to stay too long in the cathedral were they could disturb the ceremony. Rose

    Queen Mathilde looks wonderful here--elegant dress and I especially love her pillbox hat.

    I like what I see but there is no good picture of the whole outfit. Love the fresh navy and white combination and her hat and shoes.
