Princess Mathilde's Hats, Headwear and Hairstyles

Wow! Beautiful! The hairdo is very pretty!

Mathilde's hairdo a few days ago when she was in Breda with Máxima for the presentation of a new work on the history of Dutch and Flemish literature (Face to Face, seegerpress).

She has had several new hairdos recently that I have really liked -- but I especially like the way this one poofs out a bit in the back. I thought she looked stunning at the event in Breda -- I'm not crazy about the coat dress ensemble but the whole effect was very sophisticated.

Her hairdresser does a superb job.

While I think her hairpiece looks exotic and very interesting, somehow, it doesn't go with the rest of the outfit apart from the colour. The coat dress is very conservative. Same impression from the pink outfit in #68. The floral touches are interesting, but seems out of place the overall look.

I love this hairdo for the first gala night of the Dutch state visit to Belgium (gamma, UK Press)

I think that Princess Mathilde has ALWAYS had a very nice hair style:)

I have to say the dutch gala was the first time I really disliked how her hair was done, too curly and too obious IMO, the extensions was even a different shade. I however really liked this one in Thailand, very intricate and beautiful

Pics (Seeger,PPE,AP) and info (Le Soir) about Mathilde's hat for the national day 2006.

The designer, Fabienne Delvigne explains "All I can say is that princess Mathilde has chosen something completely new. Because she will be dressed in orange, I've chosen an apricot-pink shade." The designer explains that she had the do her best to convince Mathilde about this design. Last Friday, when the princess was at Natan, Edouard Vermeulen and she opted for something classical. "But I see it as my personnal pride not only to make the princess look sublime, but also to give her the opportunity to wear new things, more avant garde. She finally opted for a model in banana fibre and buntal that sculpts her face. It's inspired by the Charade model, but shortened." She first made it in black and white, because initially Mathilde had chosen a different outfit then the one she would eventually wear. When she changed her mind, 'Madame Chapeau' had to order new fabrics at the last moment. "But the colour was a little too yellow, not classy enough. Luckely I still had white fabric in my studio that we painted, a work that lasted till midnight. In the morning I was really scared that in daylight the colour woudn't be as I expected. But everything was fine, a big relief."

This is the charade model Mathilde's hat was inspired by.



And this is the fabulous result:

Wow, that was a last minute action! The only thing I disliked about the entire outfit was the shade of the shoes and the purse. It didn’t match that good with the hat and the dress. But obviously it was pretty difficult to get a new (lighter?) dress and a new hat, so Mathilde didn’t want to bring the shoe-and-purse-group in trouble too and spared them out. (Can you hear their relieved “Phew!!!”?)

I think Mathilde is one of the few women I've ever seen who can carry off that matching tweed hat and jacket.

And that unusual hat headpiece with the orange dress, she really wore the entire outfit well! She gets high marks from me for that one too.

This is one lady that knows what works for her, that's for sure!

Another creation by Fabienne Delvigne. Mathilde wore it in June 2006, for her sister's wedding (rex features, photoshot, seegerpress).

Mathilde looks more happy and radiant day by day!!!!!!! Thank for posting the pictures.

I have been curious about whether or not Mathilde has ever had her hair long. I got my answer in the first post of this thread. But I have to say the longer hair doesn't become her at all. She looks much more polished and dignified with her current hairstyle. I also find it interesting that she has changed the least since marrying into a royal family. I mean that really only as in her hairstyle. She's really kept her hair color and the overall length/style the same as far as I can tell. And the best thing is that she still finds plenty of ways to wear it.
