On November 6, 2025, King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium attended the gala evening of the Antwerp Support Council of the King Baudouin Foundation, which this year celebrates its 25th anniversary. The event was organized in support of several projects of the King Baudouin Foundation.
The evening began with an academic session during which a number of projects were presented. This was followed by a concerto for the King, composed and performed by Jef Neve. The King and Queen also met with representatives of the various projects. The King Baudouin Foundation (KBF) is a Brussels-based foundation.
Beautifull dress and coiffure!
ReplyDeleteI was there. She looked beautiful, not a hair out of place. An incredibly gracious Queen.
ReplyDeleteLucky you!
DeleteLucky you! … how did you get an invitation to such a gala, may I boldly ask?
DeleteWe were invited as guests by one of the supporting businesses. It was wonderful seeing all the guests so beautifully dressed.
DeleteWow. I wish I could have been in your place!
DeleteQuelle simplicité, quelle allure
ReplyDeleteBellissima, noto con piacere che nel tempo ha migliorato il suo stile.
ReplyDeleteUna regina che mi piace molto.
Incredibly gracious indeed. So classy through and through. Great sartorial choice as well. Fits her and the occasion perfectly.

Queen Mathilde wore a black gala dress by Armani. It is a rewear and the dress is from an older collection of Armani. The dress itself is very simple the only ornament is the big bow with crystals. The black clutch she is wearing is also by Armani and there are also crystals attached on it. She is wearing black shoes and her wedding earrings.
ReplyDeleteI see that also King Philipp is wearing a new jacket made of a black velvet fabric. It looks a very appropriate jacket to assist at this Gala evening.
Thank you for the information, it was very interesting.

DeleteThank you. I think I am going to ask a little salary for giving all this information on Queen Mathilde's outfits. From other royal ladies' clothes the brands, designers, etc.... are always mentioned. From Queen Mathilde it is not. It is simple though one can can find everything on the internet by using Google.
Beautiful Mathilde! MR
ReplyDeleteBlack is indeed a beautiful and elegant color.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure about the bow on the chest, but this dress works.
I like the king’s tuxedo.

@ Astrid
DeleteThe bow is the only fantasy on this dress. If you take it away there is only a simple black dress left. Besides on an Armani dress one doesn't change anything.
Même avis que vous. Paloma.
DeleteMême avis qu'Astrid (je précise !). Paloma
DeleteBeautiful dress, stocking the correct colour for the shoes. The queen looks fabulous. Now the lady in the white dress, I don’t think the booties are particularly nice for the occasion.
ReplyDeleteRe the lady in the white dress, I’ve rarely seen dress + short booties in Europe. Long boots to the knees plus dress is very common in winter because it really works for the cold and is stylish. But shorter boots I’ve seen more commonly in Texas where summer dresses are paired with cowboy boots of all possible things! Maybe this lady in white is from Texas?! She looks cute but I too prefer shoes or long boots.
DeleteBooties and cowboy boots are different. I can see cowboy boots with a dress (most often in the south) but the booties are for pants.
DeleteJust looks like she has white socks with her shoes. Maybe in person it looked better, but still not a look that I like
DeleteRien à redire sur son superbe look - Est-ce que son époux porte une veste en velours bleu ?
ReplyDeleteWould be fun to see her cut her hair to this length for a change…I think this shape/style is very attractive on her.
ReplyDeleteThere are photos of her many years ago with a chin length bob, she looked so cute.
Delete2 - 3 years ago everybody on this blog suggested she had her hair grow longer. Now that it is longer she should wear it shorter again ?
DeleteBest is to let Queen Mathilde do what she pleases. Her hair is long enough now to do updo's. Sometimes with a little help of an hair piece, which is not necessary with the way it is styled here, I think.
Anyway whether she is leaving her hair loose or in an updo, it is always looking good (if there is not too much wind). But that is not her fault.
I love this black gown. The Queen looks stunning. The gown fits well, the embellishments are not overdone, adding interest. Love her black accessories. Her up do is very becoming, suits her beautifully.
