Un joli modèle dont les motifs sont un clin d'oeil au Sultanat d'Oman qui les reçoit en visite officielle ; Mathilde a su trouver une harmonie jusque dans la pochette, les chaussures ainsi que le masque - Philippe aurait pu se vêtir d'un costume plus clair ; trop sombre à part la chemise !
ReplyDeleteLe roi Philippe est toujours bien habillé. Le sultan porte un caftan noir donc le costume du roi est bien choisi. On laisse l'honneur au Prince Charles de mettre des costumes clairs chaque fois qu'il visite un pays du Moyen-Orient ou Asiatique.
DeleteUgly dress (and not long enough). What an insult! And when an Omani woman visits Belgium... what Belgian item would she display on the bodice of her dress? R*e*g*i*n*a
ReplyDeleteThe dress has the perfect length. Not only queen Mathilde wears a dress that reminds the country that she is visiting other queens do it too. I don't see the insult on the contrary! I like the dress : the cut, the colours, the shoes and clutch, perfect.
DeleteWhat is insulting about it?
DeleteThis dress does not suit Mathilde. I and do think that this habit of the royal women of dressing in a way which looks like the way women are dressed in the country they are visiting, is somehow patronizing and infantile……Especially so because it is never the other way around……

We in Finland love, when CP Victoria wears a dress, wich is designed by Andiata or jewels designet by Lapponia, when she visits Finland, or meets finnish people in Sweden. I think it is a very polite and friendly thing to do. I love that dress.
DeleteAbout CP Victoria case: I agree that it is ok to respect the
Deletecountry they are visiting i.e. colours and jewelry. But if CP Victoria came to visit us having a picture of sauna or reindeer at the front so...? As someone said it is getting a bit ridiculous.

So you're objecting to the palm tree motif? Can I ask why?
DeleteI'm a fan of Queen Mathilde but not of this dress. Perhaps the pattern of the dress is symbolic but it's too busy for me. And in the photo with the patterned wall hangings and carpet, it's totally overpowering
ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful dress for this state visit ... Queen Mathilde looks wonderful so does King Philippe ...
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful, bright colorful dress. I love the soft features, the frilled neckline and cuffs, very feminine. The design and colour scheme is very appealing and unusual. Love the choice of shoes and small clutch, colour blends well.
ReplyDeleteAgree with every point you made, Ava. Well said.
DeleteQueen Mathilde looks very good and very appropriate here.

I agree with Ava.
DeleteVery beautiful dress that looks great on Queen Mathilde! She looks quite elegant--and the design with the palm trees and fronds are perfect for a visit to a Middle Eastern country.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, appropriate and elegant. Very much in typical Mathilde style.

It is not a good dress for QM. It makes the top part of her body look narrow and makes the lower body look wider and bulkier. The peint gives the dress the beach robe wibe, IMHO.
ReplyDeleteI fully agress with everrything you wrote. I do not like the dress on her.

This time you cannot put the blame on Natan ! Queen Mathilde has been wearing clothes of several other designers last year and this year and I liked them all.
DeleteIt is not the dress that makes the upper part of her body slim and the lower body wider. Her upper body *is* slim and her hips*are* broad. So what, this is not something that has to be hidden or corrected. There ist absolutely no problem with it, if you accept that people and their bodies are simply different. - I don't like this dress, but I would also not like it on a "perfect" model. (-Ann.)
DeleteThough I like the overall look of QM, I'm not too keen on the palm tree at the front of the bodice whereas I don't mind seeing it at the back. Colours and fitting are great for the queen and visit.

No me agrada mucho este vestido en ella. La hace estrecha la parte superior. Tampoco veo la necesidad de vestir segun el pais que se visite.
ReplyDeleteMathilde porte une très belle robe, et les chaussures sont également très plaisantes, elle a réussi à assortir les couleurs avec celles du tapis. Sans nul doute, ce pays doit se sentir honoré de recevoir une si belle et si distinguée Princesse...!!!

Elle est reine des belges et son mari est le roi Philippe !
DeleteThe queen is lovely, however this dress is not flattering, the style, print, colors are not suited to her.
