On May 30, 2026, Queen Mathilde of Belgium attended the final of the 2026 Queen Elisabeth Cello Competition at Bozar Concert Hall in Brussels. This year’s competition for emerging musicians took place from May 4 to May 30. Each of the 12 finalists performed a work specially composed for the final round of the cello competition.
Italian cellist Ettore Pagano won First Prize at the 2026 Queen Elisabeth Cello Competition. The First Prize includes a cash award of €25,000 and numerous concert engagements in Belgium and abroad. Second Prize was awarded to Tae-Yeon Kim of South Korea, while Third Prize went to Leland Ko of the United States and Canada.
HMQM looks really lovely! The fabric blends so nicely with her skin tone and hair color, and the pattern makes gives a terrific contrast. A beautiful look.
ردحذفGreat look of Mathilde. Elegant and charming, beautiful colour, unusual pattern/fabric of her dress.
حذفFor the final round Queen Mathilde wore a new haute couture dress by Natan. It is made in embroidered Guipure lace in the color Champaign. Her hair looks lovely, she is wearing diamond earrings which are forming a lettre "E" and are from Belgian jeweler Leysen. QM has these earrings since the beginning of her marriage. She is also wearing a diamond bracelet, or it could also be a watch with a diamond bracelet, because she is wearing it on her left arm where she normally wears her Rolex. I would have liked the dress better with a shorter and a slightly narrower skirt.Queen Mathilde looks particularly fresh and young on these pictures. After almost a week in the US, they landed in Brussels on saturday morning. At night she was present again at Beaux-Arts (BOZAR). This (sunday)morning the 20 km of Brussels started. It has been said that she would participate, but I don't know it is true. We'll see it in the news tonight. What energy !
ردحذفIt's good that Mathilde was able to attend the final of the cello competition, and congratulations to all the cellists! I love her dress; very beautiful, embroidered material and the skirt isn't too full so it hangs well. The plain clutch and shoes contrast nicely, and her hair looks lovely in this style as well.
ردحذفAnonyme 13 : 25 comment une pochette et des chaussures de la même couleur que la robe (ou dans une nuance très similaire) peuvent-ils contraster ?
حذفUn contraste, par définition, est une opposition ou un contraire : donc si les chaussures étaient d'une couleur différente de la robe ce serait bien un contraste. Mais ici ce n'est pas le cas.
Pour cette tenue, les mots exacts seraient : une harmonie ou un bel accord (pour rester dans les synonymes musicaux !).
C'est très bien de donner son avis sur la mode, mais c'est quand même encore mieux quand on emploie le bon vocabulaire ;-)
Comme certaines personnes qui confondent souvent une ganse et un passepoil, ou une ceinture et une martingale, etc. Pourtant c'est facile et rapide de vérifier afin d'utiliser les bons mots à bon escient. Merci.

I mentioned it before in the Harvard posts but I must mention it again seeing Mathilde in these photos: I really like this longer, more relaxed hairstyle on her. She looks wonderful and I hope she will keep this style and length for a while.

Gosh she looks gorgeous in this dress. The lace, tone on tone, exquisite. My only quibble is the length of the sleeved, perhaps an inch long would look better proportion to the length of her arm, imo. Classy lady.
ردحذفTout de suite, je dis oui pour cette superbe robe de
ردحذفcouleur champagne qui va à merveille à la Reine - Je l’ai imaginée de couleur rouge qui aurait donné aussi un merveilleux look avec ses cheveux longs !
Elle a déjà une robe en Guipure rouge qu'elle a porté une première fois à la fête nationale en 2025 et tout récemment lors de sa première mission économique en Turquie.
حذفP. E. R. F. E. C. T. I. O. N!
