On March 25, 2025, King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium, together with Singapore’s President Tharman Shanmugaratnam and First Lady Jane Yumiko Ittogi, attended a roundtable meeting at the Royal Palace in Brussels. They spoke with Belgian civil society organizations about their efforts to help people facing complex challenges participate fully in society. Social and economic issues were also addressed.
Natan Bella Dress
Two Head of State and First ladies. I like Q Mathildes dress.

There are better pictures in full length of Queen Mathilde in this beautiful new dress. The golden brooch placed in the middle of the shoulder ornament is beautiful. I've only seen the queen once with this brooch. I'll have to do some research to see if I can find out the origin of this jewel.
DeleteIt sounds like you're really appreciating the details of Queen Mathilde's look! The golden brooch does sound intriguing, especially if it's a rare piece. It could be fun to dive into its history and origin—royal jewels often have interesting backstories. If you find anything, feel free to share!
DeleteImpressive dress, both in style and in colour. At first glance, I confess I thought it was Queen Maxima but she doesn't have a monopoly on vibrant orange. There isn't a good full size photo but this fitted but not belted style looks good on Queen Mathilde
ReplyDeleteThat dress is gorgeous. Love the color and the bow accent. She looks so good in this dress.
ReplyDeleteI fully agree with you.
DeleteThis shape of dress suits Mathilde’s figure very well. I’m in the camp of frequent “what was Natan thinking with this design”… but sometimes they nail it. Gorgeous colour too.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if you still think 'they nailed it this time' when you see a picture of QM in this dress from head to toe... the stomach area doesn't look good in my opinion, which is a shame because the colour and floral accent are fantastic.
DeleteI love the brooch in the centre of the flower appliqué, but for some reason I don't think the brooch and earrings go well together... maybe 1 of the 2 in a 'plain' style..
Anon 10.21 I actually think the dress has a nice flow overall, and the stomach area doesn't stand out as much as it might seem. The color and floral accent really are striking and work well with QM's style. As for the accessories, I think the brooch and earrings complement each other, adding a touch of elegance and cohesion. The combination feels intentional, and I think they work together quite well.
DeleteI agree with anon. 11:47

What do you suggest for the stomach area ? Wearing a dress that is too tight in that area ? I think Queen Mathilde looks fantastic. As there is no good picture of this dress from head to toe on this blog, your opinion is based on the fact that the dress is by Natan. On other sites about Queen Mathilde one can see her standing or walking right up and the dress fits her impecable.
This color is very becoming on her. Love it !!
ReplyDelete-Astrid.
Cette couleur lumineuse va divinement bien à Mathilde !
ReplyDeleteGorgeous dress, and color. I like the design. The brooch is very effective, love its placement, clever addition.
ReplyDeleteIn theory this should have been a good dress for Q Mathilde. Great colour, fun detail near face , no belt. Unfortunately it's bunchy and rumpled at her back and other photos show it's not flattering around stomach. Better tailoring would always be helpful with Natan clothing.
ReplyDeleteI actually think the dress works well for her, and the color is lovely. The detail near the face adds a nice touch, and without the belt, it has a more relaxed feel. The rumpling at the back is a minor issue, but overall, I think the dress still has a flattering shape. Sometimes, a bit of relaxed fit is just the right choice, even if it’s not perfectly tailored.
