On January 23, 2023, Grand Duke Henri and Grand Duchess Maria Teresa of Luxembourg held a New Year reception for members of the parliament and members of the government at Grand Ducal Palace. Hereditary Grand Duke Guillaume, Hereditary Grand Duchess Stephanie, Prince Felix, Princess Alexandra, Prince Sebastien and Prince Louis of Luxembourg were present at the New Year reception.
Seraphine Sage Green Lace and Silk Chiffon Maternity Dress
Oscar de la Renta Caped Caftan Gown
All the ladies are well dressed, especially Grand Duchess Maria Teresa. The color of her gown is very royal, and the style of it is most flattering. I think this is one of the better appearances for her. Princess Alexandra's emerald gown is pretty and the tiara is a nice touch. Duchess Stephanie's "maternity" dress is a good style and fit but I think a more vibrant color would suit her better. I wish we had a closer look at their jewels.
ReplyDeleteI on there other hand find the dress of GD Maria not a good style for her, the dress is too much fabric for her frame, and feel the same about P Alexandra, this style would work for Maxima.
DeleteFirst time i find D S the best dressed of the group

Elles sont toutes élégantes mais particulièrement Alexandra dans cette robe caftan à cape qui lui va à ravir ; j’ai remarqué sa grande ressemblance avec son arrière grand-mère la grande-duchesse Charlotte de Luxembourg surtout coiffée de ce ravissant diadème !
ReplyDeleteRobe caftan ??? pas du tout ! et diadème qu'elle porte très mal.
DeleteThey all look smashing but Pcss Alexandra's green dress is a little short - better on the model. Zed
ReplyDeleteA tiara event is always welcome!
ReplyDeleteColour prize goes to GDMT for her glorious, regal purple gown.
Tiara prize goes to PA for her mod, cool, emerald tiara.
Overall best prize goes to HGDS for her pretty, maternity style.
Is her order blue because she’s a DIL whilst children get yellow orders?
The last photo is a bit humorous with seemingly mismatched heights of seating options.

GD MT gown without the cape might have been a better fit for her.
ReplyDeletePA - I feel she struggles to find a style that works for her. The dress is beautiful, but looks underwhelming on her. The jewellery choice are magnificent!
HGS-S - It’s maternity wear. The color is too pale for her. She needs a pop of color.
I didn't like Alexandra's style of gown in the 1970's and I like it even less now. It is unflattering and it ages her, imho.
ReplyDeleteI wonder why Stephanies is the only one wearing a blue and not a yellow sash. Does anyone know the reason? CC
ReplyDeletePrincess Claire of Luxembourg wears this one as well. It is the sash or riband of the second highest order Luxembourg has to bestow, the Order of Adolphe of Nassau. The golden one is the Order of the Gold Lion of the House of Nassau. Only Princes and Princesses born into the Nassau family will get it.
DeleteThis is just a guess but it could be because all the others are children of the GD and GDMT and therefore direct descendants of the yellow title, whatever it is.

Will Stephanie be given a gold sash once Guillame is GD?
DeleteThis royal family is one of my favourites. Too bad we didn't get to see Princess Claire. Mary
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is the GDMT's purple gown - very regal looking. I adore Stephanie, but feel she would have looked better in a dark color , a black or midnight navy, would have appeared to have made her look smaller. It's not just the pregnancy, the but the pale blue doesn't flatter her figure. And I think she would look better in long sleeves, verus short ones, again not flattering to the arms.
ReplyDeleteAlexandra is radiant, a beauty !

Finally, a tiara event. Where is Claire? Nice gowns. The only thing is the Hairstyle from Alexandra and the way the Tiara is placed. It could have been better css
