On September 7, King Philippe and Queen Mathilde attended the gala evening of the Streekfonds Oost-Vlaanderen (The Community Foundation of East-Flanders) at Opera Ghent. The Streekfonds is a fund managed by The King Baudouin Foundation, aiming to promote social and sustainable projects in East Flanders.
Together with the partner organizations and their guests, the King and Queen met with the initiators of the various local projects, and the musical talents of Opera Ballet Vlaanderen.
Natan Spring/Summer 2020 Collection
Love her dress, hair and make-up. And I'm even more loving the fact that she loves those shoes, they are fabulous!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree. Gorgeous dress in an amazing colour. And superb sandals too. A real wow outfit
DeleteThis gown looks very flattering and attractive. The Queen looks very elegant. I love her strappy shoes, they blend well with the style of the gown. The color is pretty. Her hair up, looks fabulous. Her makeup is natural. A beautiful Queen.
ReplyDeleteAgree. (mjt)
DeleteA lovely colour and gown on Mathilde. I like that she has not worn any neck jewellery this time.

I agree
DeleteI never thought in a thousand years that I would say this, but I actually prefer the original Natan design on the model.

@Aloise, are you sure they changed the gown? Because models pose and drape in a completely different (and mostly unnatural) way? (GM)
DeletePerfection from hair style to shoes! Love the color on the Queen, and the hair style makes her look 10 yrs younger and so refined. MR
ReplyDeleteOne word to summarize : Perfection
ReplyDeleteIndeed!!! MR
DeleteIf I owned this dress, I’d keep it exclusively to wear for a night at the opera.
ReplyDeleteI’d also keep the red shoes as worn by the model.
Otherwise, I think the dress has very limited choices for other occasions.
Both the King and the Queen look smashing.
@Deadeggs. You could call this dress her "music dress". She wore it for the first time in July 2020 for the yearly Preludium concert the night before the National Day. The second time in May 2021 for the Queen Elisabeth Music Contest. And the third time, yesterday to go to the opera in Ghent. Rose
DeleteO.K. Rose. Let's go for it and give it the name of MMD - Mathidle''s Music Dress 😀
DeleteExcellent hair, adorable shoes, and it could be a really beautiful gown without that too dramatic fabric overflow, hiding much of Mathilde and the gown itself. Sorry, I see no other detectable aesthetic advantage in that cape. (GM)
ReplyDeleteCette robe fuschia illumine son look surtout avec les chaussures très bien choisies que je pense bien coordonnées avec son clutch !
ReplyDeleteIt occurred to me that Queen Mathilde's dress, when she worn it for the first time (last picture next to the model), was wider than today. I think there was more fabric in the original dress. I love her with those Roman sandals. I forgot the brand of the sandals. Could it be Prada ? or are they by Armani ? Rose

DeleteIn the meantime I found out about the shoes : the brand is Dior. Rose
beautiful color and a lovely flow to the dress. Suits the Queen very well. I am not a great fan of straps on shoes and I think the red ones on the model look better.
