This year, Luxembourg's National Day coincides with the 25th anniversary of Grand Duke Henri’s accession to the throne. On this occasion, the City of Luxembourg is celebrating with a variety of events and musical entertainment. The evening festivities were marked by an official ceremony held on June 21, at Place Guillaume II, attended by the Grand Ducal Family.
The College of Aldermen and the Municipal Council of the City of Luxembourg welcomed Grand Duke Henri, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa, Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume, Hereditary Grand Duchess Stéphanie, Prince Félix, Prince Louis, Prince Sébastien, Princess Alexandra, Nicolas Bagory, Princess Marie-Astrid, and Archduke Carl-Christian in front of Luxembourg City Hall.

Goodness. While no doubt a happy occasion, it also appears to be a rather fashion-challenged occasion for the ladies. Stephanie’s hair looks pretty at least.

My thoughts exactly Royal Watcher.
DeleteI sure hope Stephanie doesn't become a regular wearer of the Natan label like Mathilde and Maxima.

Stephanie's Natan outfit hurts my eyes. And Maria Teresa's baby blue outfit with feathers...just a no!
ReplyDeleteIt is not baby blue but turquoise and she looks better than her daughter in law.
DeletePrincess Marie Astrid looks very nice. The same cannot be said about Grand Duchess Maria Teresa and Stephanie.
ReplyDeleteHGD Stephanie, this is a big no for me! It is shapeless and with too much pattern and it does her figure no favors. Stephanie can do much better and should!
ReplyDeleteSurprisingly, I like GD MT in this outfit very much, feathers and all. The turquoise looks lovely on her and the fit is simple but good; we can see her in many walking images and they all look quite consistent as she moves. However, I'm not sure if the top is supposed to be worn off one shoulder even though we know GD MT likes wearing tops that way. Wearing it squarely would also look good.
ReplyDeleteAs for Stephanie, the dress is too voluminous for her frame. She's also wearing the dress longer, so perhaps a few inches off the bottom would have looked better. Nice to see so many family members supporting GD Henri.
And as for the cake, yes please.

Affreuse la robe de Stéphanie. On dirait un arbre feuillu qui se déplace dans la rue. J’ose å peine imaginer ce qu’elle nous réserve dans le futur. Vivement quelqu’un pour la conseiller, et surtout par Nathan.
ReplyDeleteThe Nathan dress I dislike. The pattern of the fabric is not good to dense and loud. The actual style of the dresses are no.
ReplyDeleteGDMT looks great. I love this ensemble. It suits her. She looks very stylish. The colour is sublime..

Très estivale la robe imprimée de Stéphanie mais peut-être qu'avec des petits talons, cela aurait amélioré sa silhouette tout en ayant des manches à hauteur du coude !
ReplyDeleteTina Turner back in town in the company of “ always too much” Natan
ReplyDeleteYou paid Maria Teresa a splendid compliment!
DeleteTina Turner was a stunner both physically and artistically , not to mention her strength and value as a woman.
And her "company" of back vocalists and dancers was even more beautiful and eye- catching!
Please, go on with a more detailed description.
Thank you.
Grand Duchess MT: I don't have a problem with the fluff, would love this outfit on her without that silly one shoulder. Or if one shoulder: not well solved. Nice wide open neckline would be better. Stephanie: She is blessed by beautiful legs ... well, I don't get it. And the cape is as if some more green roses needed to be added but the gown was already full. Green is good for her, but no way I can grasp why somebody wants to wear this vertical and horizontal abundance of green roses it in broad daylight. Or any time.
ReplyDeleteThe Natan dress would have been perfect without the cape, absolutely not necessary. I understand Stephanie's choice of shoes, there is quite some walking involved in the event.
ReplyDeleteI think the choice of MTh is perfect in my view, bearing in mind the difficulty of combining fit and style in her case. The more I see her, I believe her hair style fits her quite well.
Mary T, I absolutely agree about the cape and the Natan dress!
DeleteTheather scene, first picture!
ReplyDeleteYes! The travelling circus is back in town.
DeleteAlexandra n'a vraiment fait aucun effort pour être élégante, sa tenue est plus que banale. Difficile de comprendre son choix.
ReplyDeleteLes plumes font cabaret, c'est non pour moi.
Les roses vertes, franchement, je trouve ça moche, désolée.
Et toute la tenue est tellement volumineuse... :(
Paloma.
The idea of a cape dress for Princess Stephanie is not bad, but the printed fabric is not good. She should have chosen a plain color. For an event during the day, I would not have chosen a long cape dress.
ReplyDeleteI prefer GD M.-Teresa's outfit, the trousers are a bit too short. Princess Marie-Astrid is wearing a dress in a far too pale print, it washes her out. She can use a bit more color. Princess Alexandra is not dressed for the occasion. I know she is pregnant, but a wide dress in a soft color would have been lovelier. This family never know how to dress and for what occassion.
First thought: Medieval parade.
ReplyDeleteMT looks good, Stephanie would look better without the cape.
But I understand they celebrate their 25 reign?
First of all, the style here is all over the place. Each lady looks as though she’s on her way to a different event: Stephanie to a very formal banquet (I’d have preferred a solid pastel color); Maria-Teresa to a fun evening gala (I am so, so sick of pantsuits on our royal ladies, but at least this one fits properly); Marie-Astrid to a garden party (she is perfection and gets the Best Dressed award 🏆) ; Alexandra (pregnant again? 🤔 I hope so 🙂) to a backyard barbecue. Please, beautiful ladies, it’s a double special occasion for Luxembourg. Could we not have chatted ahead of time to decide on the dress code?! — Jane
ReplyDeleteHet lijkt wel of Stephanie in een gordijn gehuld is. Vreselijk
ReplyDeleteStephanie looking stunning in this dress/cape. I surprise myself to say it, but I find her looking regal and very beautiful, and I think this suits her remarkably well.
