Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg are making an official state visit to Belgium. On the third day of the state visit to Belgium, Queen Mathilde of Belgium and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa visited Child Focus in Brussels. Child Focus is a Belgian foundation that helps prevent and investigate missing children, abducted children, runaway children, and sexually abused and exploited children.
Afterwards, King Philippe, Queen Mathilde, Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa attended a thematic lunch about Belgian-Luxembourg cross-border partnerships at the Prince-Bishops' Palace in Liege. They then completed the state visit with a meeting with the crowd that gathered on the Square of Saint Lambert's Cathedral in Liege.
I love the pink on Queen Mathilde, but the belt on the top is too high. I am unsure of what is on her head, but it does nothing for the outfit or for Mathilde. Maria Theresa looks good, I love the jacket. The trousers is just a little too wide.
ردحذفI so much appreciate MT style she such a breath of fresh air among all the copycats.
ردحذفGDMT’s blazer and trousers are lovely. Are they the “right” shape for her body? No. The jacket should be shorter and the trousers slimmer. But I admire her determination to wear whatever she likes regardless of conventional flattery.
ردحذفQ.M.’s outfit isn’t much of a success either - the fussy hat, plain top, wrinkled trousers- she has better choices than this. (V.M.)
I do like the pink suit of the lady who accompanied them.
ردحذفQM- I like the pink outfit,I just don’t love it.I think the belt is off putting.
GDMT- I love the AMcQ jacket.I would love to see it with a more slim lined trouser. Lowri.
Lovely spring colour on QM. As previously pointed out, she shouldn’t be wearing such high heels ; it’s a question of delicacy towards GD MTeresa
ردحذفGD M Teresa looks very professional , however the trousers should be straight.
That is not a thing. Mathilde can wear whatever shoes she wants to wear.
حذفJe trouve que la veste de Maria Teresa imprimée sur fond blanc s'associe à merveille avec le pantalon en apportant de l'équilibre à sa petite silhouette !
ردحذفBoth ladies look very good. I agree with the first poster that Mathilde's belt is very high and MT's trousers are very wide. However, MT seems to wear them remarkably well and there is a good sense of proportion visible in that last photo; however I think that a more tapered trouser would match the beautifully cut peaked-shoulder jacket better for MT. White trousers would also look great with this jacket.
ردحذفSpecial commendation to the other lady in the pink trouser suit who looks simply smashing.

I agree with you. I like MT's blazer: it makes a classic black and white outfit look edgy. The trousers this wide do make her look shorter than she is.
حذفI do not like the cape part on Mathilde's top. If it were a nice top with sleeves and without belt, the outfit would have looked so much better. But the colour and pants suit her very much.
Heidi De Pauw, CEO of Child Focus, is wearing a great pantsuit indeed.

Thanks for your comments Damsel. I agree with them.

Visually these photos emphasize the distinctive shape of each. One tall, short high waist, long slim legs. The other short, normal waist for petite size, short legs in portion. QM nice colour for her, the solid colour shows every imperfection like creases in pants. QDM-T the floral jacket and blouse perfect fit her well and good for her silhouette. The wide leg pants are just a tad to wide making her look extremely short. Overall both look lovely.
ردحذفThe royal ladies are outshined by the woman in the pink suit.

The Grand Duchess looks very good. Great jacket and blouse but I don´t like the flared trousers. A pie of straight ones would have mad the outfit look great.
ردحذفI am a big fan of Queen Mathilde but the fit of the upper part of this outfit is dreadful. No belt and a longer slim top would be much better for her body type.
I like MT's blazer, trousers are excessively wide for her shape. For QM I am on the fence, color is fine, the fit not so good for her.
ردحذفI gave some more thought to it, QnM's oufit would suit her better without the belt.
حذفWhen you are tall, you're tall. Wear your high heels, regardless of where you are.

ردحذفThis state visit is over, a lot of beautiful pictures and video's could not be seen here. During this visit King Philippe (very busy) had to leave his guests for a reception at the Royal Palace concerning the presidency of Belgium of the European council. Interesting detail : in the Royal Palace the students of the Royal Military School formed a welcome for the guests. Prince Gabriel was among them and the king talked to him and was so proud of his son. After that the king joined the queen and his guests again to continue the visit.
ردحذفThe receptions and the signing of the golden book in the townhall of Brussels and Ghent and in the Episcopal palace in Liège produced beautiful pictures and video's too, as well as the visit in the cathedral in Ghent to look at the famous restored paintings of Jan Van Eyck and his brothers "Het Lam Gods".
Mathilde ne doit pas avoir de miroir au Palais!

Today I must say I favor, MT's outfit over that of Mathilde's. The pink is nice but the whole thing looks kind of cheap. css
ردحذفThe lady in the pink costume has the most beautiful outfit. It is elegant and appropriate.

Who is the non-royal lady in the pink suit with black buttons? She's leading with the style here.
ردحذفHow do I post here? I wanted to say that I think the non-royal lady in the pink suit with black buttons is the style-leader here. I tried posting this, but can't see it.
