On May 4, 2026, Queen Mathilde of Belgium visited BRUSK, a new state-of-the-art art hall set to open in Bruges. BRUSK aims to bridge the city’s rich artistic past with contemporary art. The venue will host major temporary exhibitions and performing arts events and is connected via a footbridge to the Musea Brugge research center, BRON.

During her visit, the Queen visited two exhibitions: “Latent City,” a groundbreaking exhibition by digital art pioneer Refik Anadol, and “Wide Angle: Interwoven Worlds of Bruges 900–1550,” which explores how the “Venice of the North” developed into a global crossroads during the Middle Ages. She also toured the restoration workshop and the print room of the BRON center.

    The Queen looks wonderful. As for the lady in the red dress, a reminder of the usefulness of a slip.

      Yes just because it is a dark colour doesn’t mean it is not see through. Thin fabric needs a lining or a slip.

      @ Anon 07:41 You are the fashion expert?! You couldn't do one of Natan's outfits, I am sure, your designs and "couture" would all be a failure - nobody would wear them.
      Mathilde's green dress is simple and elegant, the cut and the colour suit her well.

      @11:38 I think your comment to 7:41 is misdirected. I also think it’s extremely out of line to write to anyone - but most particularly a stranger here -that you think her designs would be a failure. I respectfully ask you to remain kind here.

  6. This dress looks quite lovely, the color is gorgeous, what a pretty shade of green. Her neutral colored accessories, shoes and bag, perfect.

    It is getting a disease, once they hear the name Natan they don't look even at the dress anymore. Automatically it is not good.

      "It became a disease" instead of "It is getting a disease". Sorry

    With this lovely green dress (rewear from 2025), Queen Mathilde is wearing a beige handbag by Dior and beige shoes. Her bracelet is by Michael Vincent Michaud and inspired on Nature. Her golden earrings are by Nunu BCN. The accessories and jewelry match the green dress. The bracelet is a bit visible on picture N°3 when clicking on the photo.
