For their first Garden Party as the reigning Grand Ducal Couple, Grand Duke Guillaume and Grand Duchess Stéphanie of Luxembourg welcomed nearly 340 guests to Berg Castle in Colmar-Berg. On the evening of June 25, 2026, the Grand Ducal Couple paid tribute to those who contributed to making the accession ceremony a success.
The second reception, entirely dedicated to young people, will take place on Monday, June 29. For the occasion, Grand Duchess Stéphanie wore a red guipure maxi dress by Farm Rio.
Farm Rio Morada Boa Guipure Maxi Dress
Oh dear, nice colour, in theory this should be a good choice with the neckline and fabric. Perhaps if the frill was left off the bottom and the sleeves 3/4 length it would be more in proportion. The high waist okay but again perhaps it is too loose therefore it falls on the body rather than away from it. Such a lovely lady.
ReplyDeleteThis dress does nothing for anybody.
Delete9:50 I rarely agree with a comments such as yours… I always try to find something good … but this time I think it’s correct. This dress is a bit of frippery and fun but really isn’t going to make anyone glamourous.
DeleteI really love her ponytail, in combination with the earrings. The dress ventures into negligée terrain and looks relaxed but not good (neither on the model). Maybe for a romantic dinner for two at the fireplace?
ReplyDeleteThat dress is for anoher body shape.
ReplyDeleteAnd even on the model this isn’t a nice dress. There’s too much going on.
DeleteLet's not put everything down on "body shape" path (i.e. the polite way to mention that someone has too much weight), this is not the problem here. Look at the 2nd photo, the neck and shoulder area, do you see how asymmetric it is? Then the waistline, what's the name, askew? everywhere but on the waist? this dress is simply devoid of shape, thus it cannot fit *any* body shape.
DeleteI like the style of dress, it’s a perfect Summer dress. I think it suits GDS shape. I would have liked a little more color in her make up, to match the dress. In the absence of color, leaves her looking a little pale against the bold red.
ReplyDeleteLowri.
Yeah, she needs some lipstick. It looks like hers might have worn off. The dress color is wonderful for her but the dress is not tailored to her figure. It doesn’t hang on her right.
DeleteI think it’s the way she stands. Plus it doesn’t help that she doesn’t have a structured undergarments. When you’re in the right size of anything the clothes are going to look and sit well .Lowri.
DeleteOh Stephanie. Please can I come be your tailor? A little nip and tuck would make this dress sing, but its just hanging off you. Its a beautiful dress, and I love the earrings but fit is essential.
ReplyDeleteYou really should go help her out. I am rooting for you! 😉. Let me know if you need help!
Delete19:41 might well be right ! I also agree on removing the frill on the sleeves.
DeleteWithout the ridiculous tying (?) bows at the sleeves the dress could have been a little more successful. Again, she drapes herself in way too much fabric. The strong colour is, as usual, looking good on her. A matching lipstick would have been great as well.
ReplyDeleteUne robe rouge coquelicot qui lui va à ravir mais je lui enlèverai bien le volant de la jupe ainsi que celui des poignets !
ReplyDeleteThe dress does not physically fit or fit the occasion. The sleeves and length are too long and the neckline is so big that she’s wearing a cami to add coverage. The red lace feels like lingerie or evening.
ReplyDeleteMême sur le mannequin, elle n'est pas terrible cette robe
ReplyDeleteJ'apprécie beaucoup Stéphanie mais cela me désole qu'elle ne soit pas prise en mains pour lui donner in pei d'allure
I think she had dresses before from that brand "Farm Rio" and they didn't fit her either. Compared with the model the dress is too long. Her mother in law wore the same dress type at the garden party's and it didn't suit her either. I think she should wear a different dress style and not focus on this boho style. And her hair looks better loose or in an updo, not a low pony tail.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately, all I can think of is sack of potatoes.

I didn’t think there was a red dress I didn’t like but I’m struggling with this one. No certain what is wrong with it but it’s just not working well for Stephanie. As DSC says there’s a lot of material in the dress. Perhaps a mid calf length and no frill would have worked better.
ReplyDeleteUp close the GD makeup looks really very good. She has a wonderful manicure, beautiful red polish, her nails are a great length, practical.
ReplyDeleteDress wise, I don't like it on the model nor on the GD. Its a very dense dress, frill wise, embroidered wise etc... too much for it to look attractive and appealing imo. The length is too long, and I like longer style dresses. The models length is a bit shorter. Regardless of that, the GD obviously liked the style and she looks happy, enough said!
I love her hair up style or long and cascading, not with a pony tail. Her earrings look interesting, but they don't appeal to me.
The side view of the blonde lady, in white spot and Navy ? jumpsuit? or possibly halter neck dress, not sure but she looks quite lovely from what I can see. Last group photo, she is on the right. I enlarged the photo, still cannot tell!
What are they doing to this beautiful woman. I would sack the lot of you. This dress could have been very elegant, but once again the finishing touches were not carried out. Shame on the lot of you.
ReplyDeleteWho is “they”? Who is “the lot”?
DeleteThe dress hangs on her. I think it is nice to wear in hot weather with the open structure of the tissue. Do away with the last fril and it could (maybe) become an informal summer dress: this is for an opera singers last act!
ReplyDeleteI want to like this dress but it just seems off, perhaps in person it looked fine. She should not cover her ears with this low pony tail, it does not frame her face nicely, t
ReplyDelete私はドレスのウエストのひもを取り払い、サッシュに替えたらきっと素敵だろうと思います。
ReplyDeleteRed is the ‘it’ colour this year. It works as that pop of colour allows her to stand out. The dress is boho chic style and it looks nice and comfortable- a nice polished look for her.
ReplyDeleteAnd once again I wonder if they do not have mirrors nor a trusted person who could say sincelery if the clothes do any good or not to her
