Queen Mathilde of Belgium held a number of online meetings on Friday as part of the Week Against Bullying (Week Tegen Pesten), which started on Friday. Queen Mathilde first spoke with experts about the impact of the corona crisis on the well-being of children, with a special focus on the issue of cyberbullying. Afterwards, Queen Mathilde spoke with a number of pupils from different schools. The Queen asked the young people how they experienced the corona pandemic and whether they feel that cyber bullying has increased since the start of the pandemic. (The Queen wore a floral jacquard coat by Dries van Noten).

Très joli modèle mais trop fleuri à mon goût ; avec son haut ou chemisier rose pale, je l'aurais bien vu dans une teinte unie comme du Bordeaux par exemple !
ReplyDeleteTulips, I like your suggestion, but this rose is also a colour of this exquisite coat.
ReplyDeleteDries van Nooten in my eyes is really the top of designers.
Queen Mathilde never looks quite comfortable in her clothing, things seem to bunch up or ride up in odd places. I think she could benefit from alterations to tailor her garments to her body shape.
ReplyDeleteI had just been thinking the same thing. I like both the idea of the jacket and the colour of the blouse but that bunching up is spoiling it
DeleteI can think of two reasons for the problem:
1. she has a slight or not so slight case of Corona kilos. It has had an unwelcome effect on many locked up/lock downers which ever way you look at it.
2. She sits on an ordinary chair for the Zoom meetings which does not allows adjustment of ones seating position like a bonafide and correct office chair so that her elbows are always too high and it causes her to bunch up her shoulders.
A 3rd reason that I can think of is she has quite a short neck and the boxy jackets with 1950's sloped shoulders she has worn over the past year are not really for her. It is a pity because I think the fabrics and colours are sometimes very nice but the fit of everything sometimes quite horrifying.
I agree about the color of the top as well. I don't see it in the jacket myself, and it is too close to her skin color. With video, it probably works better to have a solid color or something without such a bold print.
ReplyDeleteI actually really like this on her. My first instinct was to say this was a coat that Maxima would wear, and I am usually not one for larger flower print. However, I think it is the colors and the flowers themselves that stand out to me, kind of cheer me up on a gray February day. I also like the pink sweater under, it pops and draws out the color in the lavender flowers. Her hair is really getting long, it is quite flattering.

Trop de fleurs dans ce modèle - A mon avis, je le verrais bien dans une teinte unie, avec son haut de couleur rose, elle aurait encore plus d'allure !
