    Beautiful dress on Mathilde. Love the softness of the fabrics and the light colours for a warm climate. Hat, purse and shoes are well coordinated too. Sets an appropriate tone for a state visit.

    I still like this dress on QM. It is light and the pink flowers make it a real summer dress. No matter how long she has a dress, she always wear the same hat, clutch and shoes with it. I wonder how they are doing it in her dressing room, by putting the same sticker on each of the accessories ?

    Queen Mathilde looks fabulous. Love the dress along with the rose colored hat, shoes and clutch. Can't tell much about her earrings--are they pearls? The First Lady's dress is pretty too. (Debra)

  5. This is a lovely silk chiffon dress, the pastel colors look feminine. The dress is a great fit and cut. The color accessories are perfect.

    Queen Mathilde looks lovely. Giambattista Valli, along with Dolce and Gabbana, have such beautiful florals. This dress is a perfect example. Love the pink she highlighted for her accessories.

    I think this is kind of "old lady" looking.
    She's pretty but her clothes don't often do her any favors.

      Agree with you . Her clothes very often makes her look much older than she is.

    Oh dear, another babyish hat, reminiscent of the pink petals hat she wore to the Ghent flower show on April 28. QM could use a refreshed hat inventory. The sun seems to be shining in her eyes, a simple cream or pink straw hat with a moderately sized brim would have looked so much better and been functional as well. S.M.

  10. Très jolie robe dont la jupe est toute en légèreté ; cela convient bien pour débuter cette visite d'Etat dans un pays chaud mais je ne suis pas fan de son chapeau/bibi qu'elle a l'air d'adorer ; l'épouse du Président porte une robe aux motifs très colorés que j'aimerais mieux voir ; la suite de ce séjour nous en montrera certainement un peu plus !

      I agree with you, Marina; maybe even cap sleeves.

    On M it's old lady. Maybe with a new and modern haircut she could have pulled this off, but with that thing on her head. Nooooo

    A dress to dream of!
    Difficult to make a good combination with: it is so tender and suffice in itself. Donot think this small hat is that bad,
