On Thursday, July 3, 2025, Queen Mathilde of Belgium attended the gala performance of Estivales de la Danse at the Palace of Fine Arts (Bozar) in Brussels. The event brought together international dance stars and Belgian artists to perform iconic excerpts from classical and contemporary repertoires, as well as original choreographic works.
Brussels hosted Estivales de la Danse for the first time in 2025. Fifteen outstanding artists, handpicked from some of the world’s most prestigious dance companies, performed a range of pieces carefully selected to showcase the richness and diversity of contemporary dance. For the occasion, Queen Mathilde wore a silk crepe maxi dress by Giorgio Armani.

Beautiful dress !! Simplicity at its best !!
ReplyDeleteThis pretty pastel color suits Mathilde but I am not too fond of the neckline.
ReplyDeleteI think her right foot still looks a bit swollen but Mathilde has managed to get into very high heels.
Cate.
I agree that the neckline isn’t great. Sometimes that looks like laziness on the part of the designer, and I don’t think the bunching of material rather than a neat neckline suits anyone. Mathilde looks fantastically elegant - despite the dress having a few design errors ( in my view). The absolute winner is the bouquet. No one can out-design nature!
DeleteLovely dress and look.
ReplyDeleteLovely dress, and oh, the bouquet!
ReplyDeleteSo well coordinated with the colour of the dress.
What a pity Queen Mathilde's dress is too long. This maxi dress (described by Armani as a midi dress) would look much better in the normal length Queen Mathilde wears the majority of her dresses. The dress is made in a silk quality I've never heard of : Marocain silk. She looks lovely and this soft color suits Queen Mathilde very well. The accessories in gold leather and the jewelry are very beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the dress is a tad too long, none the less Queen Mathilde looks lovely and elegant.

The youngest girl is a “breathtaking” (mozzafiato) beauty. (She looks like a 20s/30s painting) Irene
ReplyDeleteYes the littlest girl is very beautiful. All kids are of course, but she had a particular something.
DeleteEven though Mathilde hasn't worn this gown exactly as it was designed (per the model), where the belt detail was meant to sit loosely just above the hips, and she has worn it on her waist, the dress still looks good on her. One would have expected the dress to have been shorter as a result, but it is still quite long, so her dress was likely customised to her shape. Still, she looks lovely in it though I also like the subtlety of the model style.
ReplyDeleteI love photo #2 with the two other ladies in green and blue/grey. Both of those ladies look great. The lady in blue has a great body and has chosen the perfect dress to show it off, as we can see. If you've got it, then why not? :)
And finally, I love Mathilde's artistic bouquet.

Très jolie robe dont la couleur pastel sied à ravir à Mathilde mais petit bémol au niveau de l’encolure qui monte trop haut ; elle serait beaucoup mieux avec une légère ouverture en V !
