    I like Queen Mathilde dress very much. The colour suits her and the fit is good. I also like her hairstyle - it seems a little softer and looser around her face.

  5. This dress looks splendid, it has a very pretty yoke, which adds some interest. Otherwise, the dress could have been on the bland side. The skirt of the dress has nice movement, swish happening! Her shoes and gorgeous bag are a wonderful color. Her hair seems a little longer, I like it. Very soft and natural.

    Queen Mathilde wore this dress for the 1st time last year as a day dress at the enthronement of GD Guillaume and GD Stéphanie of Luxembourg. Since then the royalty watchers in Belgium are wondering who designed this dress. They say it is probably by Dior. Her handbag is the lady Dior and also her shoes are by the same designer. The pendant earrings are made of diamonds. This wine red colour suits the queen very well. In fact Queen Mathilde looks good in any red colour. That is why she has so many red clothes.

      If you look at photo #2, you can see that it is a top and a brown skirt.

      The skirt is not brown but cream or off white. On photo N° 2 the light is different therefore the skirt looks darker.

  8. Serving with joy is a beautiful sight. Wishing the authorities strength and stamina in their services to the citizens, the nation, and the Planet.
