Same what she wore in Venice but much better without her plastic red necklace.
 
I like everything except from the print of the dress. :)
 
On July 15, 2011 Queen Paola attended the world premiere of the theatre play of Umberto Eco's novel "The Name of the Rose" in the ruins of the Abbey of Villers-la-Ville:

Not exactly an exciting looking outfit but suchlike dark suits do flatter the queen's silhouette and provide for a nice contrast with her blond hair meanwhile. Besides, the structured fabric of Paola's fasciated scarf is quite lovely i.m.o..

How could I forget to annotate these two hits :nonono:;)? Queen Paola has reworn that beautiful, delicate outfit from a gala concert on her 51th wedding anniversary (July 2nd, 2010) just on her 52th wedding anniversary in 2011 -even including the same major jewelry (earrings and necklace/convertible tiara): http://www.theroyalforums.com/forum...art-1-november-2003-a-1159-6.html#post1106330 It's really an affectionate gesture towards her husband i.m.o.:flowers:.
The queen looked simply stunning in her sapphire blue (wonderful colour for Paola) evening gown. It exhibited an excellent, unostentatious cut all the while preventing this dress from appearing too sober by means of a little train. Moreover, I loved the subtle black lace border around the gown's neckline: http://kungligamodebloggen.svenskdam.se/files/2011/07/ste_monaco_royal_6154812.jpg If Paola only hadn't worn a bolero jacket! I would've been delighted to see the entire upper part of her gown...

I think the Queen looks very elegant in the first two photos, is one of the dresses she wore on a visit to Germany. Lovely :)
 
The first outfit is very nice. I don't like the dress for the second outfit and the hat doesn't look nice with it.
 
Fabienne Delvigne said during the wedding of Prince Albert that big hats are back again.
Queen Paola had problems when she looked the airplanes.
Her outfit was very nice , nicer than on the pictures everybody liked it .

Yes, she does. I definitely prefer this version with a dark stole instead of that corresponding polka-dotted jacket which Queen Paola had worn back then in Germany. The dress' structured fabric looks especially appealing at close range i.m.o. http://www.newscom.com/nc/wmark/New...photos/docs/803/301.thm&fname=abaphotos803301. I also like its ribbon(?) and the diagonal parting of the skirt: http://www.ppe-agency.com/500px/Jul2011/PPE11072078.jpg (cf. above).

Paola's chic, expressive Te Deum outfit -being kind of familiar- suits her nature, I would say: http://www.theroyalforums.com/forum...same-style-part-2-a-23621-17.html#post1289839

It would have looked good without the jacket.
 
:previous: Or maybe it wood look good/better combined with a different jacket ;)?
However, Queen Paola recycled the dress underneath when visiting the presentation of a new stamp in honour of her commitment for the young on October 6, 2011 in Mechelen:

The colour composition between Paola's light, patterned jacket and her appealing deep blue dress with its wrapped neckline is much more effective viz. a felicitous contrast whereas this dark jacket exhibits a splendid fabric but renders the overall look a bit somber i.m.o..

the last two outfits are nice but HM needs a good bra to adjust the outfits and the whole look.

Queen Paola attended a concert at the Royal Palace in Brussels yesterday, October 26,
wearing a black combination. A bit too dark maybe, but elegant.

The coat is nice but not the collar.
 
I'm always enthusiastic when Queen Paola is wearing soft shimmering, but not too glossy fabrics (e.g. velvet) -she looks so ravishing then. Somehow, they decently underscore the highly natural, gracile beauty of her facial features... Reinforcing IloveCP's opinion, I would say that the queen possesses loads of garments with lovelier collars viz. necklines than this coat :D. However, Paola's jewelry -especially that nice leaf brooch- appended a minuscule autumnal touch to her black outfit.
On October 19, 2011 Queen Paola attended the awarding ceremony of the prize "Terre d'Avenir" at the Palais des Académies in Brussels:

That's a typical autumn combination exhibiting wonderful shades in relation to Queen Paola's hair colour plus vanilla-complexion. Moreover, I like those filigree patterns on the skirt -unfortunately, Paola hasn't chosen any pieces of her elegant garnet jewelry for this appearance.

Very nice, jacket is great. Indeed lovely jewelery, earrings especially.
 
This is a marvellous evening look for Queen Paola! I love her jacket with its starry sky effect and wavy edging. Due to the felicitous cut of her combination, Paola's silhouette appears quite pretty, underscoring her nicer curves while hiding the problem areas Photo from Getty Images; Het Nieuwsblad - Photobox - FOTOSPECIAL. Terwijl Albert crisis aanpakt geniet Paola in het Kremlin. I'm also happy that she has chosen those gorgeous, delicate diamond earrings (which feature interchangeable gemstones viz. pearls). Finally, that tiny clef brooch serves as a very befitting accessory for the occasion :)

What is up with her collar?? It's odd looking.
On a positive note her hairstyle looks especially good.
 
That is a strange asymmetrical collar. On the other hand, I love Paola's jewels.
