On May 14, 2024, King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium visited the province of Limburg, and more specifically the city of Maaseik. The King and Queen first visited MOSA-RT, a secondary school that offers its students about forty study options to prepare themselves for higher education or the labor market. They spoke with the students.
The King and Queen then visited Integra, a center that offers prevention and care for mental health, and supports people with problems such as addiction, anxiety, eating disorders, suicidal thoughts and depression. The couple concluded the visit with a meeting with the people on the market square, and a reception held in the town hall.
Natan Alexia printed silk satin dress
I saw the top of the dress and thought 'borrowed from Queen Camilla'--very much her style. However, I don't think I like the skirt. Too much going on altogether-busy pattern, pleats and the white contrast. Queen Mathilde herself looks great.
ReplyDeleteAgree withh you, AnnieM, about 'borrowed from QC' and in picture 8 it's even like I see QC wearing it

DeleteIf only QC could wear a dress like that, she would look much better. No zipper in the front or buttons, not a wide skirt.

DeleteYou could be surprised when you put the two queens on a picture next to one another. At least Queen Mathilde's dress fits : there are no thick shoulder pads in this dress, no zipper or buttons in the front and the skirt is smaller.
The fit and outline of the dress is okay, but not the pattern of the fabric. On the other hand I love her red shoes! gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteInteresting dress. Different. I am not wild about the shiny material but like the (fraying?) effect at the hem of the skirt. Since the pattern is a bit dizzying, I think I would have added a red belt for the eye to rest on and to match purse+shoes. The waistline on the dress is a bit high (not just on Mathilde, but also on the model). A belt would distract from this and hide the (to me) never desirable visible seam at the waist between a bodice and a pleated or gathered skirt.

DeleteOn the contrary a belt just draw the attention on the waistline. It is what everybody always said when Queen Mathilde wore a belt, that she should not wear one.
You´re probably right. Mathilde´s got a high waist, and a belt at her actual waist would only emphasize that. For the perfect proportions, the belt needed to be roughly were the white-ish line in the pattern runs across, like 5cm under the seam.
DeleteYes there were many criticism about belts for Mathilde. I am not a fan of the dress, but why ... not sure I see the reasons for that, a bit old-fashioned, no ?
DeleteI forgot to say, I am glad she chose the pink color one and NOT the yellow gold one.
DeleteHow lovely Queen Mathilde looks.
ReplyDeletePretty dress, she looks great
ReplyDeleteNice dress. Q Mathilde looks good. css
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely!
DeleteOh dear, what a mess of a dress. Looks like a common housedress in the first photo, then the waistline, and the mess at the bottom with a pattern and small white parts interjected. ugggg. To top off the mess, she is wearing those tacky 'stripper' shoes with the plastic bits.
ReplyDeleteI love this dress on Mathilde which surprises me as I don't usually like Natan outfits.
ReplyDeleteDès la première photo, j'ai cru voir une ressemblance avec le style porté souvent par la reine Camilla ; j'ai vite changé d'avis en voyant la jupe de sa robe imprimée à larges plis avec un dégradé vertical de blanc ; magnifiques escarpins !
ReplyDeleteVery lovely summer dress. But well she"s akways so well dressed
ReplyDeleteThe problem of the dress for me is the bodice. On a flat chested woman like the Natan model the vertical lines are near straight. On a bustier woman like most of us the vertical lines are squiggles which make me dizzy!
