    La reine est toujours jolie avec du blanc, ça la rend lumineuse.
    Jolie jupe festive. Tout l'ensemble lui va bien.
    Mais j'ai juste froid aux avant-bras pour elle ! Paloma.

    The longer hair suits very well Queen Mathilde. I also like the earrings. However, the top makes me think of a sweater. Helena

    This must be the latest style, stark contrast pieces. A brooch or necklace would tie the pieces together. Queen of Spain wore a white blouse and blue skirt, sharp contrast as well.

    Great!
    Technically spoken: how does one make a top like that?!

      To Anon 17:23, I thought about that, too. Master command of draping fabric. Also, there may be some sturdy interfacing in key places. Chris L

  5. Elégante Mathilde même si à mon humble avis, le style original du haut ne l'avantage pas trop ; j'aime beaucoup ses nouvelles boucles d'oreilles !

    Queen Mathilde's white top has the same cut as the cobalt blue dress she wares on the Christmas card of the Belgian royal family last December 2024. It is a dress she wore a couple of times before.

    Magnifica Mathilde, il bianco le dona molto. Bella anche la gonna, le sta benissimo.

    I don't really like the top as such, and I don't even know why (material too hard, as it is the case with Natan quite often?) , and also curious what the back side looks like. But: the whole ensemble works really very well on her.

    Just perfect. Maybe a broche at the blouse could have been an added value

    I do really like her top. Beautiful ! In my opinion, the color is well-chosen.

    It matches in some manner with her earrings, made with pearls.

    I really love this outfit!
    The only thing I would change are the shoes... Can't really figure out if it's maybe because of the pantyhose, but something doesn't feel right imo ;-)
    Other than that: perfect match for her and the occasion!
