On July 2, 2025, Queen Mathilde visited the Van Buuren Museum and Gardens in Uccle, a former Art Deco villa and adjoining garden estate created by art collectors David and Alice Van Buuren. The museum houses a remarkable collection of furniture, carpets, stained-glass windows, sculptures, and paintings by international masters.
The museum, once a private residence in Uccle, was transformed into a museum in 1975 according to the wishes of Alice Van Buuren. It was designated a National Heritage Site in 2001. This year, the museum is celebrating its 50th anniversary and the centenary of the Art Deco movement with Around Art Deco — an exhibition dedicated to sculpture from the interwar period. For the occasion, the Queen wore a printed dress by Carolina Herrera.
The frill on the skirt is an overkill, it doubles the size of her hips compared to that of her shoulders. I had to look twice at this amount of green leaves under the waistline, if is it real or a photoshop trick ...
ReplyDeleteThis is actually a rather nice dress by CH, but I'm not sure it's quite right for Mathilde. It doesn't look right on her in some photos.

The dress is ok, if you are a certain frame, but sadly, not Mathilde's frame. The shoes are also a no, her feet look swollen and pushing the toes out. Bless her heart, she needs to wear more comfortable shoes.
