At the invitation of the President of the Republic of Chile, Gabriel Boric Font, King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium are undertaking a state visit to Chile. On June 24, 2025, the King and Queen were officially welcomed by Chilean President Gabriel Boric at La Moneda Presidential Palace in Santiago.
Following the welcome ceremony, the King and the President held a bilateral meeting, which was later followed by an expanded session with the Belgian and Chilean delegations. Meanwhile, Queen Mathilde visited the Chilean Museum of Pre-Columbian Art.
Later in the day, Queen Mathilde met with members of the Mapuche community in La Pintana and learned about their rich culture and centuries-old traditions. The Mapuche often live in urban areas and actively preserve their heritage despite facing challenges such as cultural marginalization and social inequality. In the evening, the King and Queen attended a Belgian community reception.
She spoils us with this perfect choice of clothes,!
ReplyDeleteThe last picture with the red evening dress: stunning!
La robe et le manteau de la reine sont de beaux articles.
ReplyDeleteNéanmoins, j’estime qu’ils auraient été meilleurs s’ils étaient moins longs ; une longueur genoux aurait été idéale.
Le tailleur-pantalon est seyant. La couleur rouge est féminine et opportune, de mon point de vue.
Sa robe de soirée de la même couleur semble être tout aussi féminine.
J’apprécie toujours de voir la reine coiffée avec des cheveux relevés. Cela met mieux son visage en exergue.
En conclusion, la reine Mathilde est fort élégante dans ces tenues choisies.

ReplyDeleteFor the official part of the state visit, Queen Mathilde wore the coat and hat she wore this year on February 18 to attend the Mass for the Deceased members of the Royal Family. In the museum we saw for the first time the dress she was wearing underneath. When visiting the Mapuche indians she wore another Dries Van Noten pant suit to play the local version of golf or hockey. In the evening to attend the reception with the Belgian Community living in Chile she wore a red silk dress, a rewear of the dress from the Christmas concert in Brussels.
ReplyDeleteWhen coming back to Belgian this Winter garderobe can go back into the dressing until next Autumn and Winter. The weather forecasts for Belgium are announcing tropical temperatures for the coming weekend and the beginning of next week.
Mathilde looking overall fabulous. In terms of tiny adjustments possible (outfit 1) I don’t think the coat is well cut for her, but the hat and dress are a beautiful colour for her. (Outfit 2) The red suit is stunning on her, particularly with the rest of the group in blue, but stilettos seem crazy for that visit and flat lace ups eg white runners would have looked in my opinion much better. Or a typical Catherine / Mary outdoor visit outfit of hiking boots, neat outdoor trousers and a nice top. (Outfit 3) I think we’ve seen this dress before? The red is incredibly flattering for her and so glamourous but the shaping at the top makes her narrow top narrower and the red sash wrapped around the dress widens her already wider lower half. I think either a scoop neck or shortened sleeves (above elbow) would help rebalance the stunning gown. If this were a Dutch state visit we’d be seeing a tiara, but not so for the Belgians.
ReplyDeleteWOW! The red evening dress is a stunner. Very elegant blue coat, hat and dress outfit. The 5th photo is so good. Queen Mathilde always looks god in red and the the pant suit is beautiful and fits well. She has followed the current fashion and chosen wider pants. She seems to have a fun outing.
ReplyDeleteAll three of Mathilde's outfits are smashing! Her red suit and evening gown are beautiful but I particularly like the dark dress with the neckline detail. Can't tell whether it is a lacey cut-out or something else, but it's very beautiful and effective. I also like that she chose to wear a different style of hat. The photo of her standing in front of the wooden statues is brilliant.
