At the invitation of Grand Duke Guillaume and Grand Duchess Stéphanie, António José Seguro, President of the Portuguese Republic, and his wife, Margarida Maldonado Freitas, are paying an official visit to Luxembourg from June 6 to June 7.
On June 6, 2026, Grand Duke Guillaume and Grand Duchess Stéphanie welcomed President António José Seguro and the First Lady during an official ceremony with military honours in front of the Grand Ducal Palace. For the occasion, the Grand Duchess wore a bright pink sleeveless wool-crepe dress by The Fold.

After a couple of not-so-well-dones, I am full happy this time with this outfit. Fabulous colour, no florals and no excessive fabric draped around her, a very clean and very favourable silhouette, beautiful open neckline connected in a good way to the shoulders, length is good, hair is wonderful, allowing a vertically lengthening impression by showing her neck. Beautiful pearls and necklace.
ReplyDeleteAww, lovely. What a difference it makes to GD Stephanie when she wears colour. The dress fits her well, has terrific neckline/shoulder detail and the colour is stunning. With nice shoes, lovely jewellery and smart up do, she looks great. The wife of the Portuguese president also very smart but Stephanie easily the winner here
ReplyDeleteDear AnnieM, Your positive comments regarding Stephanie are very good but have you noticed the details on the dress of the president‘s wife, for example the back with the intricate buttons? I do find her dress interesting, including the front. There is no winner for me.

Being it no competition, the light blue dress of the presidents wife is more to my taste: beautifull colour and cut, very simple done in heavy silk. Sleeves would be a good choice for Sophie too.
DeleteWhere are the days that Natan made dresses in heavy silk and everybody found it awful, it was too stiff not enough fluent.....

DeleteQu'elles sont élégantes toutes les deux ; j'adore les perles de Stéphanie !

Cette robe de couleur fuchsia va superbement bien avec la blondeur de Stéphanie ; j’adore ses cheveux miel ramenés en chignon !
DeleteWhat a difference. This is a dress that suits her very well. The color is good, it fits her, the length is OK and she is wearing beautiful shoes. I am not so fond of the jewellery. The necklace doesn't match the earrings and the brooch. I'd prefer another brooch or this brooch put on one of the shoulders. The necklace are probably diamonds and it must be old because it looks like it needs a good cleaning.
ReplyDeleteOuch.
ReplyDeleteOuch is right.
DeleteWhile the color is great for her, it's not flattering on her shape.

I totally agree. I've always liked Stephanie, but this dress does not flatter her bodytype.
Delete"Ouch", definitely. Trying to be kind here... the dress looks good on the model, who has a different body size/shape & can do "bare arms" well. The shoulders are too tight on Stéphanie , spoiling the overall effect of that lovely dress. The whole look ages her, although she looks great in that color. ~~Ruthie
DeleteWhat would you prefer "on her shape" in order not to be "ouch"?
DeleteI agree with "Ouch." The whole silhouette makes her look 20 years older. The dress top would look so much better with simpler lines, 3/4 sleeves that are roomy and less emphasis on her bosom. Why accent it right in the middle of those pleats? The color is lovely but the upper part of the dress would look nice if it were simpler. I think.
DeleteI don’t find this remotely ouch. This fitted bodice suits her arguably better than any flowing bodice, the colour is gorgeous, the skirt too. The only little change I would make is to cut the sleeve higher or lower - it’s just this length that seems to cut her arms off visually in the wrong place. Other than that, hair and accessories included, this is one of the most beautiful dresses I’ve seen Stephanie wear.
DeleteSimply beautiful
ReplyDeleteThe color and style of Stephanie’s dress look great on her. Her updo is also lovely.

Margarida Maldonado ist eine sehr schöne Frau, das Kleid schmeichelt ihr sehr, es sitzt auf ihrem Körper, perfekte Schneiderkunst. Das Kleid der Großherzogin mag ich sehr, es scheint ein Himbeerton zu sein. Wenn auch alles fließender umschmeicheln könnte, ist es trotzdem sehr schön anzusehen. Unschlagbar die sichtbare Freude aneinander entschleunigt alles, Großherzogin Stephanie wird immer die Gewinnerin sein, sie hat prachtvolles Haar und eine strahlende Schönheit, beide spiegeln sich wieder, sie sind beneidenswert jung in ihrer Liebe : ) -Dorothe - ; ) *smile
ReplyDeleteThis is realy very bad on her, she looks so matronly, it hurts my eyes. She is such a beautiful woman she really need to do something about her shape. It is the only way to get things back together.
ReplyDeleteReally? To be slim is the only way to gain recognition in your eyes? Poor you.
DeleteIris, this is an ignorant comment. We cannot just ask people to “do something about their shape”. Heck. Each of us is born with the body we are born with, some fitting the cultural norm of the time, many or even most: not. She is a beautiful woman and I’m certain she cares for her body as well as any of us. And here she has chosen a beautiful dress and wears it well. Enough.
DeleteThis is most definitely one of GDS better looks. The style and color is very flattering. Hair make-up and accessories are just as complementary.
ReplyDeleteLowri.
The wonderful aspect of events in Luxembourg is the special feeling of joy that exudes from the participants. Both dresses are in lovely colours and in simple flattering silhouettes. Excellent.
ReplyDeleteLovely colour and the fit is good. The blue dress is pretty and again good fit.
ReplyDeletePerhaps different undergarment would give a better silhouette, however I like how she looks in pink.
Bright pink is a good color but the style/cut of the top of the dress is not flattering, and I mean on anyone, not specifically GDS. Paired with the hairstyle, she could easily pass for 80 years old. She’s such a beautiful young woman, I wish she would wear more modern clothes.
