Grand Duchess Maria Teresa attended the 28th edition of the Lauriers de l’audiovisuel (Audiovisual Awards) ceremony organized by the Ministry of Culture and the French National Commission for UNESCO. The award ceremony took place at Theatre Marigny.
At the ceremony, audiovisual and radio production in French language, various programmes and actors that have contributed to cultural enrichment were honored. The Grand Duchess presented the "Golden Award for Professional of the Year" to Stephane Bern.
oh! perhaps if she tried buttoning up her jacket, although the V would still be too much. She seems to wear jackets and trousers only
ReplyDeleteI don't like her bustier-top. Not appropriate for a woman of her social standing and age! But she likes that kind of tops.
DeletePauline
Not a good design for her. Like many women in these days, she probably feels more confortable wearing pants. I can understand that.
ReplyDeleteWell, that is not a good thought of those women because trousers and tops make you look more like older woman more compact and bigger. If you wear a youthfull dress with appropriate styling our body looks much younger and you can conceal your older body if you do not like to show it. This actually counts also for younger women who are larger (example: princess Amalia she looks much better in dresses than with matronly trousers and blouse or top).
DeleteOh dear the Grand Duchess forgot to put her blouse on and it looks like she forgot her trousers as well. She appears to have only her strapless bra and her long thermo-knickers on.
ReplyDeleteVery good! Excellent remark!
DeletePauline
Excellent remark!

Apparently Maria Teresa had to once again be told by the PM of Luxembourg not to bully her staff. During her daughter's engagement photo shoot, she too wanted to try on clothes and threw a fit because the wardrobe staff was busy with Alexandra's clothes and did not bring out Maria Teresa's oufits fast enough.
ReplyDeleteThere is always two sides of a story, the one that makes it in the news has more drama, as we know too well from royal engagements n weddings
Deletems
It's not just royal gossip and artificial drama when there is an official report on her bullying behaviour - it is not just alleged but an official investigation has found that she bullied her staff.
DeleteThe Prime Minister has had to repeatedly tell her to treat people with respect - that is not a rumour but a fact. Can you imagine the Prime Minister having to tell Queen Mathilde or Queen Silvia to behave themselves? No, because that would never happen.
If her husband has to abdicate it will be because of her behaviour.
She rarely even bothers to attend regular royal engagements. Her husband attends most of them alone, yet here she is handing out an award to the one royal reporter who writes puff pieces on her lol.
utter rubbish - go and read a good book!Siv!
DeleteWhat is wrong with Maria Teresa, I wonder? The heavily worked face, the overeagerness, the undergarment-style top, she had so much class before, all gone, in my opinion.
ReplyDelete🌞 Virginia
Well, she likes that sort of tops - although they are inappropriate, given her position and age!
DeletePauline
Like many women renowned for their beauty in youth, she has reached a certain age and has apparently begun to panic.
Deleteplease stop age shaming - Siv
DeleteOh la, la, magnifique haut/bustier mis en valeur par Maria Teresa tout en laissant la veste déboutonnée !
ReplyDeleteYou are so right!
DeletePauline
The bustier should be worn with a sweater. No, no, no…
ReplyDeleteWhy oh why does she have to flaunt her chest area? She is too old for that sort of look. Not able to see what sort of pants, or skirt she was wearing however, it made her look really thick in the waist line area.
ReplyDeleteI agree. I wonder what happened… normally she looks classy.
DeleteTacky !!
ReplyDeleteYes!
DeletePauline
You took the words right out of my mouth! Horribly inappropriate and déclassé, besides the fact that she lacks the figure to pull it off. MR
DeleteShe went shopping in the wrong shop ( the bustier what a flop...)
ReplyDelete-Anna-
She looks great! Appropriately dressed for the occasion.
ReplyDelete-B.
I think we all agree on that type of top. It looks inappropriate and tacky, as one commentator rightly said. Maybe she wants to be young and sexy again! Stéphanie would never do that.
ReplyDeletePauline
Nothing really matches here. The bustier-style top is quite horrible on her, and it has nothing to do with age. It simply doesn't suit her body-type. All those pieces thrown together make for a very peculiar look.
ReplyDeleteLove the jacket. While I'm not sure the bustier top is a great look for the event, as a woman of a similar age, I completely defend her right to wear it. And she looks good in it too
ReplyDeleteCe bustier est trop sexy pour Maria Teresa en ces circonstances..elle devrait réserver cette tenue pour des moments intimes avec son mari.
ReplyDeleteAucune tenue à son âge avec ce bustier entourant ses seins...c'est m^me limite vulgaire..à presque 70 ans !!!
ReplyDeleteNon mi piace nulla di questo outfit, neanche il trucco
ReplyDeleteMa è ovvio dire che ognuno è libero di vestire come vuole.
Rossella
Oh dear......older women who dress in age inappropriate clothing only manage to look ....
ReplyDeleteWell, you get the picture!
Kim
Not a good look for a woman of her age. This bustier is IMO a cheap look. She really can do better. Sorry for being so blunt css
ReplyDeleteWhen Maria Teresa married into the grand-ducal family she was a pretty young woman, nice and seemingly modest . But Henri's family was against this marriage, especially Grand Duchess Josephine Charlotte. Well, one can understand this. In those days, an aristocratic background was far more important when one married into a royal family. Josephine Charlotte herself came from the Royal Belgian Family and she had lost her mother, a princess of the Royal Swedish House, at a young age. So it was difficult for her to accept this marriage. My impression is that M.T. has become more bossy over the years - and she was severely criticised in a government report on the administration of the Luxembourg grand-ducal court. There were practically no structures in place and she was the boss - some of her stuff strongly complained about her behaviour towards them.
ReplyDeleteI also remember that her luxurious life-style was criticised.
Pauline
Oh my! I like the jacket--its a lovely evening jacket. I can't really comment on the trousers because the photos do not show a full length picture. But the bustier...I am sorry to say that it is not flattering. I feel like a bustier is something seen on the red carpet or on much younger women. I don't like to judge based on age or position but MT is a lady in a position where clothes are part of the job and certainly part of such a person's position. So, I have to say the bustier is wrong choice.
ReplyDeleteJanet
All those “Anonymous” comments, one right after the other, clearly signal something odd. Either they are sent by the same person or by several I cahoots, in an effort to degrade María Teresa.
ReplyDeleteShe is a beautiful woman with a lovely family and her husband loves and respects her. ….. Ana
Dear Ana, I don't think there's anything odd about those comments. Nobody needs to degrade Maria Teresa, she manages that feat quite nicely on her own. Her treatment of staff is unacceptable, this is not the 19th century where it might have been common. The Prime Minister had to step in several times because of her behaviour, wouldn't you call that embarrassing? If her husband loves and respects her like you assume, he needs to do something about the situation. Otherwise it reflects badly on him. It makes one wonder how she treats her family.
DeleteRegarding her fashion choice, the old adage "Mutton dressed as lamb" comes to mind.
Rose
As far as I can see, there is always a name given under the post - so it's not a robot or always the same anonymous person who writes a comment. Everybody can check this. I don't want to comment on this bustier any longer - but can you imagine Queen Mathilde or Queen Maxima (who is often very extravagant) or CP Victoria wearing such a top on an official function?
DeletePauline
Jeez Pauline!!! Give it a break, the woman is wearing a top that shows absolutely nothing inappropriate, one can like it or not ( I personally dislike bustiers on any woman at any age) but you have been made your point.
ReplyDeleteOne would think that she has committed a crime. I don’t see why you are so bothered.
No, she hasn't committed a crime - I NEVER said that. But who are you - anonymous?
Deletepauline
Lets stay friendly and kind
ReplyDeleteWomen in all ages have every right to wear what they like. Women judging other women for their clothes is only pathetic and in this case also hypocritical and very sexist, not from this millenium. At least not in my cultur and country. I don't see anything wrong with her top. And it's not revealing too much, very appropriate. She has great skin and the top suits her very good. Her jacket is also great, can't say anything about the trousers because I don't see enough of them.
ReplyDeleteBravo!
DeleteDear Anonymous,
ReplyDeletesince you cherish your- and I hope other people's- opinions, let me have a say on this bustier.
You know, Anonymous, I hope there will come a time when you come to terms to yourself and find peace, without always throwing this huge amount of negativity on royal ladies.
I mean that you blame P. Kate for being tall , boring and tired, Q.Letizia for looking short if compared to her tall husband, M.Teresa for being ...daring, edgy and only God knows what else at her "old" age, P. Mary for looking photoshopped...have I missed anyone or anything?
Oh, I overlook your posts related to Amalia and her figure.
Can I ask you what a woman must be like to be praised by you?
Got news for you, bustiers are used as pieces of clothing by very normal women or commoners, not only when they want to be "hot" like Pierre Casiraghi was in your eyes.
I sometimes wear bustiers myself under blazers.
DSC is right, the problem with this bustier is that it does not suit Maria Teresa irrispective of her age or position.
As someone else said, why do you try that hard to let M.Teresa down producing your biased comments over and over?
Ok, you do not like her, just say it once and call it quits, won' t you?
Same applies to Kate's earrings worn on her visit to a nursing home in Slough.
Hope I have been kind and friendly enough.
Cheerio.
What has happened in this friendly community?
DeleteSorry, it was meant to be " bring M.Teresa down..."
DeleteAnd ,dear Anonymous, I want to add that old age is not only something which may affect one's body.
ReplyDeleteYou seem to put all women on the same level.
I know women in their seventies who still look appealing and can compete with much younger women like me.
It all depends on how much one takes care of herself and genes are determining too.
I think that even someone in her thirties or younger may look old if she neglects her body and, above all, if she has a musty mindset.
Old age is more in one's narrow-minded biased views than in one's body.
Neither beauty products nor surgery can ameliorate a mentally born old woman.
??
DeleteMon dieu, "a mentally born old Woman"?
DeleteWe might be aware, that there is not only one person behind "anonymous", because not everyone signs. And there some different languages, we all try our best. e.
DeleteDear old P isn't aware - still persisting in the belief that there is only one Anonymous poster on this whole site.
DeleteAnd I agree - what is a mentally born old woman?
What is a mentally born old women?
DeletePlease, would you explain..
Sorry to be a bit late getting here but but the bus was late.
ReplyDeleteThey were super kind at the door and let me in😁
I’ve noted on many occasions, even when attending weddings, the Grand Duchess likes to go just to the limit with her neckline.
Either deep V or heavily cut out.
What is the objective ?? I don’t know.😏
Did she get the bustier idea from Madonna?
Looking back at some old photos of her over the last 10 years, IMO she looks better in dark coloured pants and top rather than in a skirt.
Bearing in mind that it was not an official royal occasion, I guess she had some leeway to be a bit edgy with her outfit.
wish the bus never came - Siv
Delete@ Siv 🤣😂😁
DeleteWell said.
DeleteMT once a renowned beauty has to carry forever the burden of the lost cute noble nose, dismembered and left behind LOL. This placed a shadow over her former beauty IMHO looking silly and old instead. Her deformed appearance, looks nothing like the original. Sure there is no double? And, for what was she looking for in the first place, love?
ReplyDelete-Anna-
@ Pauline, you seem a little obsessed with the bustier, I a counting 8 different comments from you about it, peppered with your personal views about her character. I personally can't find anything inappropriate with it, other that I don't like it myself. She isn't showing any extra skin that many other royals would on an evening/ sort of formal event, and that is a fact.
ReplyDeleteI can't or wouldn't comment about the issues she may have had with her staff, mainly because I don't have that information and secondly because it's not my place to show up at a fashion blog and start judging her.
Regards
I don't mind bustiers at all, worn by someone that suits them, they look fabulous. Blazers and jackets are a great way of combining an outfit such as this. Problem here for me, is it simply does not suit Maria Teresa at all. The jacket/blazer itself looks fabulous. I'm not sure about the pants, photo's do not give me a good enough view. Her makeup looks wonderful. The light streaks/tips in her hair look splendid.
ReplyDeleteMadonna eat your heart out!!!
ReplyDelete@Anna, this time you outdid yourself, do you think is OK to call a woman, old, silly and deformed? You can dislike an outfit, and express it without insulting the subject. Calling people names in order to demean them is nothing but bullying. how would you feel if somebody treated your daughter, sister, mother or friend the same way.
ReplyDeleteWe all sometimes cross a line, hopefully you can understand that you just did, practice a little kindness it is good for the soul.
Cherry
OK Cherry the fashion-police has arrived..
DeleteI cherish my identity and seeing things in a poetic way.
Some people weighing things up; the way you speak, write.
I advise you don't read a book, you'll be astonished what you can meet.
Deformed, if you can detect a word, it can also mean a different form.
( if you read it in a funny, light way)
And no please no answer back.
-Anna-
No, Anna - that isn't what deformed means.
DeleteAnna, what an ugly, cruel comment. Do you think you are funny? Not in my opinion. Your comments reflect very poorly on you.
ReplyDeleteAnd I may say young but not old???
ReplyDeleteDo I have you're permission???
-Anna-
Anna, you continue to demonstrate your lack of manners in every single post.
DeleteIt would be to your advantage to perhaps educate yourself.
Anna, you are a bully!
DeleteWow so many negative comments.! I am not a fan of bustier. and I never would wear one. I think it is more for taller women MT is petite, OMO of course. But the pic shows it is well fitting. josebabe.
ReplyDeleteHi, Anonymous.
ReplyDeleteThe nitty- gritty of this post Is that, as far as the Grand Duchess is concerned , she will always fail in your eyes.
Could it be that you relate to her much more than you will ever want to admit?
We all should have spared words to let you vent your sentiments and dislike throughout this thread.
My congrats, Anonymous.
Could the administrator help?
DeleteIntimider les autre?
Delete@Anna, you truly need to read a book, or anything before advising others.
ReplyDeletePity!!
