As part of the 2025 National Day celebrations, on June 27, Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa, accompanied by Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume, Hereditary Grand Duchess Stéphanie, and Prince Louis, hosted the second garden party of the year in the gardens of Berg Castle. Nearly 340 guests attended, representing the political, administrative, economic, cultural, and sports sectors, as well as civil society. The first garden party of 2025 had been held on June 25.
La robe de Maria Teresa est élégante mais pourquoi donc avoir mis une étole de couleur noire ; elle me fait presque penser à des morceaux de manches qui ont été rajoutés ?! J'adore la couleur fuchsia de Stéphanie très estivale !
ReplyDeleteSi la garden party a eu lieu pendant la soirée il se peut que la température était baissée. Au Luxembourg et dans les Ardennes la température est plus basse pendant la nuit qu'à Bruxelles.
DeleteYes having a shawl is a great idea but the black does come across in the photos as a bit abrupt.
DeleteOoops, she did it again... halterneck plus shawl. Also, it seems pictures are from two different garden parties, one on June 25th, the other on June 27th. The Grandduchess is only pictured at one of the two events.
ReplyDeleteMaria Teresa to me often looks like she is dressed for dinner aboard a cruise ship with the halter necks and wraps, and this is no exception. I think I would like Stephanie’s bright pink dress without the cape. The other dress looks very pretty on her.

GD is wearing a colour very becoming on her, strange ring, is it leather or metal, very different. Stephanie looks lovely in what seems to be her signature look. I guess the nice thing about the cape dresses is that they can be altered quite nicely for a rewear.
ReplyDeleteI do not like the flower dress of HGD Stéphanie.
ReplyDeleteI’m with you on the flower dress. She always looks pretty - make no mistake - but the floral unstructured light coloured dress is not working for her. I think her silhouette shines better with structured clothes and her colouring with deeper shades. The hot pink is lovely; lose the cape though and bring the waist in a bit so it’s not hanging empire line style which isn’t the best for her.
DeleteNot a fan of MTh's dress, cannot really say why. I think a bit too eccentric for my taste. Stephanie looks lovely, but I am close to indigestion about capes...
ReplyDeleteI like Stephanies dress and color.

Ce goût des bijoux immodérément tape à l'oeil, vraiment gaminesque, cette robe avec ce collier, l'effet est réussi, et elle a trouvé la bonne coiffure qui lui sied bien. Elle sait rester jeune et amusante. Marie.
ReplyDeleteMT vraiment...être souveraine d'un duché si riche et être ainsi fagotée !!! tenir sa robe trop longue devant n'est pas d'une grande distinction. J'aime beaucoup Stéphanie mais il y en a encore beaucoup de progrès à faire...
ReplyDeleteI hope that cape dresses will continue to be included in HGD Stephanie’s work wardrobe — they are so elegant, and flattering to her. — Jane
ReplyDeleteStephanie looks quite nice, the pink of the dress is pretty. Not sure of GDMT, is the black thingy attached to the dress or separate? or is it a cape? The ring she is wearing is very unusual.
