On Thursday evening, 12 November 2026, Grand Duke Guillaume and Grand Duchess Stéphanie welcomed members of the Chamber of Deputies to the Grand Ducal Palace for the institutional dinner. The Chamber of Deputies, commonly referred to as the Chamber, is Luxembourg’s unicameral national legislature. The Chamber is made up of 60 seats.
Stephanie has beautiful hair - but I prefer it tucked behind like this, revealing not only her face, but also more of her neck. Which "streches" her (I don't find the right English word for it) vertically in a pleasant way. This is something Catherine does not need, for a fuller lady it is a welcome feature. I like her red dress, though it is a bit indiscriminate without any structural features and as such, just a little bit tent-like (well, at least no creases or "misplaced buttons"). I preferred those creases in her beautiful green suit. But she looks good anyway and I love her earrings.
ReplyDeleteI agree that the deep red color and the sleek hairstyle are flattering! A good word for what you’re describing is “elongate.”
DeleteThis color looks great on Stephanie and the style of the dress suits her bodyshape.
ReplyDeleteLove the earrings.
Just not sure about the shoes which on my phone look white.
Cate.
Cate, I think the shoes are beige color.
DeleteLovely! She looks great. I find that, when her hair is down, she somehow looks more youthful to me. But I like her very much. I think she has a lovely figure and a very warm smile. The only problem I see, sometimes, is the way she places her hands in her midsection. But that's up to her.
ReplyDeleteI quite like this dress. It drapes nicely. The colour is lovely on her. Her hair looks just right to me, simple sleek and polished. Her colour tech is truly gifted.
ReplyDeleteShe can carry off a deeper neckline and with this dress I think I'd prefer that vs the wide tucks/pleats that don't add to the overall look.
I'm a fan of this year's contrasting shoes/accessories vibe. I'm over the matchy matchy matchy thing that has been so popular in fashion for a while. So ... i like the shoes. She seems to be building a nice wardrobe of simple very well made shoes that aren't same old same old pumps/court shoes.
She looks great, the draping of the dress is perfect for her. Now his suit should be retired.
ReplyDeletesteht ihr!

DeleteIch stimme vollkommen zu, dieses wunderschöne granatapfelrote Kleid hat genau den Schnitt und die Vorzüge, die Großherzogin Stephanie am besten stehen!
Der runde Ausschnitt betont ihren Hals und ihr schönes Gesicht.
Die Frisur und das Make-up sind perfekt.
I find this red dress not bad at all for GD Stéphanie. Viewing it in the front it is a very good dress style for her. Viewing it in profile (which is very difficult to see on the first photo) it does not hide her tummy and she has to start to play with her hands and handbag or in this case her glass. Red is a good color for her. I would like she is wearing again the Jennifer Anniston hairstyle, which made her look much younger. Her hair in up does and other longer hairstyles make her look older than she is. To end I am afraid the very light beige shoes do not match the dress in this season. Black nubuck shoes or black patent leather shoes would be more adapted to the season. Beautiful earrings.
ReplyDeleteQuestion to all of us not just the commenter: why should a woman have to only wear clothes which hide her tummy? Why not just say, she is who she is and has chosen a beautifully coloured, flatteringly hemmed early winter dress? We are who we are and can’t expect clothes to cover every aspect of ourselves. Unless being asked for advice by another woman, why are we pointing out what we consider needs to be hidden? Really ladies, how would you feel to be the one photographed, perhaps already feeling not on your best, and having people critiquing your body or suggesting a piece of clothes needs to be changed because it hasn’t made you into a supermodel?
Delete@15:44: Why adapt shoe colours to the season? Why adapt colours at all to the season? why should we wear dark in the dark season and light in the light season? Because the fashion industry brings us so called "winter colours" and "autumn colours" and "new (!!) summer colours, for us to buy new outfits? This is manipulation - we don't have to obey. Or do you have a good argument against beige/tan shoes in the winter?
Delete@ 22:15
DeleteI do not have an argument against beige/tan shoes in the winter I am wearing them myself. But the shoes the GD wears on these photos are almost white. There were others who noticed it too, not only me. I said she was looking good in this red coloured dress. I also say each time she is looking good in an emerald coloured dress or pant suit, no matter what season it is. Everybody can dress themselves like they want. I am gonna be 80 years old next year and I have always dressed darker (or in more classic colors like blues, greys and beige) during the Autumn-Winter period than in the Spring-Summer period when the more happy colors or mixtures of light colors are visible in the city and region where I live. I am doing what I have seen from my mother and what I see from other ladies I know. I wear what I like and in which color I like. It is not the fashion industry who tells me what I must wear. I know which colors suit me and I know which colors don't. I am from a generation which could not buy new clothes every year and every season, my parents didn't have the money for it. Now that I am old, I buy sometimes a new outfit when there is an event in my family where I am invited and where the other invited ladies are dressed up too and went to their hairdresser just like me. I think that we the older generation of women have the right to do so after a life of hard working. For the number of years that I will still live on this planet I am trying to make my life as comfortable and as happy as I can and nobody is going to tell me what I can and cannot buy/do. I am still a free person who is living in a free country (at least until now).
Lovely color. Open neck is a good style for Stephanie. The earrings are nice sparkly touch. For me I’d have gone for a darker shoe, maybe same color as the dress would have tied it all in.
ReplyDeleteLowri.
The Grand Duchess has a very pleasing face and always seems very relaxed. As a person in the public eye, she might take care to reduce the weight on her delicate frame.
ReplyDeleteLa Granduchessa non è il suo peso…
DeleteHi 16:03I like the soft phrasing of the end of your 2nd sentence, and share your view. It would give far more style options.
DeleteDear 16:03, As you probably know, the grand duchess gave birth to two boys as a so-called late mother. I know from similar biographies that these women are often unable to regain their former weight for medical reasons and are very unhappy about their situation, so why give advice about weight? What do you really know?

Très jolie couleur pour la grande duchesse.
ReplyDeleteLa coupe de cette robe légère flatte Stéphanie ; j’adore la couleur miel de ses cheveux !
ReplyDeleteThis red dress is such a pretty color on Stephanie. Her hairstyle and earrings also look nice here. I think shoes that are either the color of the dress or maybe black would look better, but overall a great look for her.

This dress, the outline specifically imo suits the GD. I'm not sure of the color, burgundy/red? and shoes, above mentioned beige, on my screen white. Beige is pleasing to hear. I like the opposing color, lifting the overall look color wise. These earrings are very interesting, I'm wondering are they ruby and diamond? She is wearing a necklace, but not visible, tucked in her neckline. I love the 2nd photo, nice study of her smiling and listening to the G. Duke. They are a good team.
ReplyDeleteLe visage de Stéphanie est très doux mais il manque un je ne sais quoi vestimentaire qui la rendrait plus affirmée.
ReplyDeleteBeauty in red, she looks perfect, the whole appearance is styled with grace.
ReplyDeleteYes 7:16, totally.
DeleteThe Grandduchess is looking very beautiful.🌹
ReplyDeleteStephanie looks absolutely lovely! I belong to the many who say they have a sweet spot for her. The photo with them all on the table is beautiful. I'd like to see more of the white/cream dress the dark-haired lady wears.
