On November 18, 2025, King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium received individuals who had been granted a noble distinction or an honor in recognition of their achievements in their respective fields. The ceremony took place at the Royal Palace in Brussels. King Philippe presented the letters patent to the recipients of noble distinctions, an official document that confirms their title. For the occasion, the Queen wore a blue 'Vapeur' dress by Natan.
Both of them look tired on pic1. I rather like the dress, in spite of top rather complicated. Good color and hair styling
ReplyDeleteThe color of Mathilde's dress is very flattering, but that's the only good thing I can say about it. The design is awful. It must be from Natan. Only that atelier could create a garment so ill-fitting.

La robe est d’une couleur : le bleu roi ! De même, elle est d’une belle longueur. La matière semble être du velours, ce que j’apprécie également.
ReplyDeleteJ’aime sa paire de boucles d’oreilles et sa coiffure. Les cheveux relevés ainsi lui vont à ravir.
Par contre, je n’aime ni le sac ni le design de sa robe.

Dear Natan, next time please finish the upper part of the dress before declaring a heap of haphazardly arranged fabric as design feature.
ReplyDeleteQueen Mathilde wore this dress at the end of 2023 and the beginning of 2024 to attend 2 of the many new years receptions which take place every year at the Royal Palace in Brussels (or at the Castle of Laeken).
ReplyDeleteShe wore new black shoes with it by Giorgio Armani as well as a new "La prima" handbag also by Giorgio Armani. Her earrings are by Percossi Papi.
I think she still looks very elegant in this dress and with her hair in an up do.
King Philippe is looking good too in his beautiful suit.
I agree, although it's an unusual design on the top part. Interesting... but what a terrible name for a dress, "Vapeur"! I'd never buy it!

This dress is a really good dress until you get to the neckline and shoulder area. That part of the dress is terrible--it bunches at the top of the bust line instead of draping look and is a bad design mistake, it makes the rest of the dress look as if the wearer could not pull the dress down properly. The color is fabulous for Queen Mathilde and the rest of the dress fits her beautifully. She looks so lovely here, so elegant.

The color of the dress is beautiful and the design is unusual. However to Anon 16:25 it is not haphazardly arranged fabric - it looks like it's all one peice with the sleeve being part of the bodice and then attached to the dress. Very interesting construction for a designer and the result is really lovely and elegant.
ReplyDeleteMagnifique bleu cobalt. Les boucles d'oreilles sont belles aussi.
ReplyDeleteLe roi aurait dû choisir une cravate bleue pour égayer son costume car sa cravate est assez terne. Paloma.
La robe est d’un bleu-roi lumineux que l’on retrouve dans ses boucles d’oreilles ainsi que du rouge ; j’aime beaucoup ses cheveux relevés !
