Princess Astrid of Belgium is leading an economic mission visiting Brazil from November 22 to December 1, 2024. The Minister of Foreign Affairs, Hadja Lahbib, is accompanying Princess Astrid of Belgium. On November 24, 2024, Princess Astrid visited Solvay Group's new plant in Paulinia, which is developing an innovative biological solvent for various export markets.
On November 25, Princess Astrid attended a seminar on potential cooperation between Brazil and Belgium in the field of bioeconomy, focusing on two major subthemes: sustainable agriculture and industrial biotechnology.
Later on November 25, Princess Astrid visited the Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein in São Paulo, which collaborates closely with the biopharmaceutical company UCB Biopharma and its Brazilian subsidiary. She also toured the pediatric department, the children’s hospital, and the research center.
On November 26, Princess Astrid and the accompanying ministers met with Geraldo Alckmin, Vice President of Brazil, and later with the Governor of São Paulo, Tarcisio de Freitas. The Princess also participated in meetings and seminars focused on promoting sustainability in the construction and energy sectors, the aerospace industry, and the food industry.
On November 27, Princess Astrid visited the Puratos Group Inspiration Centre in São Paulo. The company has been producing products, ingredients, and applications for bakers, pastry chefs, and chocolatiers in Brazil since 1986. The Princess also learned about the Bakery School, where Puratos trains underprivileged young people to become bakers, pastry chefs, and chocolatiers.
She's doing a great job!
ReplyDeleteShe has a very good sense for style! I like all outfits! Well done!
ReplyDeleteHer clothes are lively and fun.
ReplyDeleteGreat choice of skirts, she dares to take risks in her choices!
I'm pleasantly surprised with the bright pink dress and the hair such fun!

Princess Astrid is dressed very lovely on this Economic Mission to Brazil.
ReplyDeleteI like her in her new long pink dress by Safyaa. I love her handbag the "Lady Dior" in black, Princess Diana had the same and Queen Mathilde has the same in bordeaux. On the two last pictures she is wearing a coat from her Chanel collection and one of her Chanel handbags. On these Economic Missions she is always accompanied by Belgian Minister of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade : Hadja Lahib, who is always well dressed too. She is the lady in a silk red dress (pict. 5 & 6) and in a pink silk skirt and a black jacket (pict. 3 & 4). On pict. 1 & 2 Princess Astrid is wearing a necklace from Chanel in the same style as Princess Caroline wears sometimes.
Princess Astrid has selected terrific outfits for this trip! She looks good in all of them--and they perfect for her role as a business/economic envoy for Belgium. I love the fuchia gown and the beige jacket and skirt the best--both are lovely on Astrid.

UCB (Union Chimique Belge) and Puratos are two Belgian companies.
ReplyDeleteDe toutes ces tenues, c'est le tailleur/jupe de couleur rose très doux qui a ma préférence ; la ceinture noire fine apporte une petite touche élégante !
ReplyDeleteShe looks bright and bubbly, very vivacious. Her ensembles are lovely. Her hair in the last photo and the earrings look fabulous.
ReplyDeleteI like pic 10 and 11. I must say on these pics she looks fantastic. Great hairstyle. Also, great looking gown and color.

The pics look fantastic, yes but I hardly recognized her on pic 10. Ok for the surprise however I don't think the hair style fits her.

DeleteThere are a lot of pictures of Princess Astrid in the fuchsia evening dress and with her hair done like this on the website of the Belgian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. On other Economic missions in the past each time there was an event where the Princess had to gave a speech and there was a reception afterwards, her hair was done in the same style with the curls. Maybe it is the hairdresser who is travelling with her who did her hair like this.
Surprised nobody noticed her gorgeous pearl and diamond earrings (last picture) and the diamond earrings she is wearing with the long fuchsia dress. They ressemble a bit the earrings Queen Mathilde is wearing with the tiara of the 9 provinces
ReplyDeleteThere are already new pictures taken in Rio de Janeiro at the giant statue of Christ. A terrific color and light show has been projected on the statue. Princess Astrid took a lot of pictures which she can show to her family when she returns home.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely great set of sartorial choices. She did very well! Hopefully the economic mission was equally successful.
