I never would have thought Maxima and Matilde. I just think the clothes look better on Maxima, I find Matilde's clothes boring.

That just shows how predjudiced you are. [/b][/quote]
that's not being prejudiced. only expressing his/her opinion.

[Hannelore]

yes it is, the clothes are boring, but when someone else chooses them, all of a sudden they're fantastic. That shows predjudices.

[carlota]

but he/she had not said that... he/she only said that the same clothes suit better maxima than mathilde.

but sweet mathilde really looks wonderful most of the times.... :P

[Jasl]

Lol!! Maybe we should have a poll on who looks better in these clothes (I've noticed that LTR is the place for polls! :P ).

[Cathérine Bergeyck]

I also think the clothes look different on them, sometimes Mathilde looks better with them, sometimes Máxima.

By the way, Natan dresses not only the ladies of the Belgian and Dutch court but also the Luxemburg and Swedish one!!

Also quite funny that Mathilde's always first with the outfit. It nearly looks as though they're all copying from her. :P

They say different people facing the same problem will often adopt a similar solution, but hearing there's a designer who has a big piece of the royal action explains a lot.

GREMB had a thread about the five Ms, with Letizia being turned into "Metizia." The royals do talk to one another. It reminds me of how F. X. Winterhalter became the royal portraitist of the mid nineteenth century - word of mouth advertising.

It´s funny to see the ladies of the Benelux-houses wear the same clothes,
MayBe Eduard Vermeulen should design more than he ever did! :-)

As we all know, Maxima and Mathilde have in past worn the same outfits. It´s a tribute to the designer to have two such fashionable and rather different women wear your clothes. We have commented on choices that royals have made when it comes to fashion. Maybe if they just switched clothes all of the time. Which outfits on one royal woman(just sticking with women) would look great on another royal? Maybe there´s an evening gown that you thought looked just a tad wrong for so-and-so but might work marvelously on another royal woman! So post your photos of outfits(evening wear, day wear etc..) and say who you think would look great in such an outfit and why.

I think Mathilde would look great in the style of shiftdresses princess Diana always wore....

[kittencrews]

Well... I think Stephanie would look great in anything anyone else wears...

[Dennism]

Do you have any photos to use as examples?

[wymanda]

Examples for Queen Elizabeth vs Queen Beatrix

I think some of you slightly misunderstood what I meant. I meant actual outfits that royals have worn.

I guess it's Mathilde's turn to copy Máxima.

I really like both outfits, but then again it's a bit hard not to since they're basically the same. :)

im sure about Royals have same dresses as looks like as same dresses with daytimes and evening dresses.

like Crown Princess Mette-Marit copy with Sophie Wessex's daytime dresses same hats and same dresses im kinda confuse!

and also before her marriages to Prince Edward Sophie-rhys Jones copy by Princess Diana's sexy red dresses in 1990's

I don't think that any of the royals are out to copy each other. It truly depends on the fashion trend and their body types. I think Mette-Marit has her own very distinct style and dresses nothing like Sophie.

I also don't think that Sophie tried to copy Diana. Diana had good taste in clothes and it appears to me that so does the Countess. She simply wears what is appropriate for the occasion and chooses clothes that are flattering to her.

[kittencrews]

I'll try to find the pictures but a while back I found a picture of Princess Caroline and Queen Silvia had worn the same outfit... I'll search...

Yes, there's something about Mary, but not what you're thinking...:)
