I want to start a topic about all the beautiful gala dresses Mathilde has worn so far.

1,2,3,6) Let's start at her own engagement dinner: She wore a beautiful deep blue dress created by Yves Dooms.

4,5) Another beautiful deep blue dress (with gorgeous brooch) for the the Goldene Kamera film awards February 4, 2003 in Berlin, Germany. (Polfoto, Corbis)

For me this is one of the most beautiful dresses she's ever worn: the 'golden gown' from Natan.

I believe it's Mathilde's favorite too, because she's already worn it on various occasions.

I think it can be combined with a skirt or trousers

I'm not too fond about this one: a grey evening dress wth a golden jacket.
At a gala dinner in Japan, in 2002.

Anothe deep blue dress for a gala charity event in Belgium



A red dress she wore twice, pretty color, but I don't think the 'collar' is very flattering. By Natan

At the pre wedding ball for Willem-Alexander and Máxima: a red dress with velvet 'top'. The second pic shows the true color of the dress. Natan.

A charming red dress she wore twice:


When the Swedish king and queen made a visit to Belgium, Mathilde was expecting Elisabeth and on an economic mission to Thailand in 2001.

Also during the Swedish state visit: a pink-lilac dress. I think it makes her look very sweet and young.

The much discussed Versailles-outfit :P

A lot of people really hated it, but I think it's gorgeous, even tough I think it should have had a bit more 'waist'

It's from Gerald Watelet.

One of her first gala outfits, and not exactly the best, IMO
On the Spanish state visit to Belgium in 2000.

It was designed by Belgian Pierre Gauthier

Shocking pink for another state visit. A daring choice but a very good one!

She was expecting Gabriel, it was at the Norwegian state visit to Belgium. Natan.
