    Initial reaction "QM looks magnificent in this dress', but then I started to wonder whether or not there's too much fabric in de skirt ... She looks good anyhow.

    Lovely colour sadly the high neckline destroyed what could have been a great dress.

    Lovely repeated dress from the Christmas concert in 2022. After I looked it up at "Garderobe royale" the dress fits better now than in 2022. Queen Mathilde lost weight lately maybe that's why her dress fits better, unless she brought it back to the designer to make some corrections.

    Un bel vestito per la regina. Non dovrebbe essere presente anche la principessa ereditaria, come accade in Spagna?

      @Rosella. CP Elisabeth is at Oxford university to continue her studies History and Politics. She can only be present during the holidays and since Christmas holidays are over yet it is logic that she returned to Oxford.

  5. Queen Mathilde looks fabulous. Her hair, her earrings, and the dress are beautiful. I also appreciate how King Philippe matched his tie to her dress. Very nice appearance.

    Lovely dress in a beautiful red colour. The dress design fits the Queen very well. Hard to believe it is Nathan

    It's a beautiful dress and the colour suits QM very well. However imv the waist is a bit too high up so that the balance between top and skirt is out of order

      Mathilde is high waisted. It actually fits her correctly.

  8. Cette couleur va très bien à Mathilde mais le bas de cette robe est trop large : plus près du corps, cela aurait donné un look magnifique !

  9. Lovely dress in a great colour which really suits Queen Mathilde. It looks like her dress does not have the same very high neckline as the model but it would benefit from being still lower. She looks lovely here.

    Very nice-looking dress, the color is also a plus. Makeup and hair very nice not overdone. The earrings are stunning. I would say Mathilde nailed it today. css

    QMat looks gorgeous! Her dress is beautiful. I love the deep red color and its a very flattering color for Mathilde.

  13. She looks beautiful. The dress however seems to have a fit problem? from the waist down, the flow of the dress and seemingly bulky look? The color is splendid. I love the accessories color.

    For a Natan creation, the dress is quite lovely, except, the skirt has way too much material swirling around the Queen. One must wonder, how heavy this garment is to wear. Edwina
