I think this is a recycled dress but again as for Christmas sadly a bit to tight.
Wonderful necklace combination.

The queen’s shiny, wavy structured coat is gorgeous i.m.o.. Moreover, she looks very modern and fresh in her black/lilac combination beneath exhibiting an interesting asymmetrically but well tailored jacket (Paola aptly emphasizes its divided collar by attaching her pretty brooch correspondingly). Merely that skirt’s cut could be improved since it unnecessarily broadens her hip area.

I think that Paola definitely wears an attractive looking combination of velvety and silky fabrics (which suit her excellently in general). Besides, I am quite partial to colour gradients, even if white-gray-black doesn’t really rank among the most fascinating ones  .

This recycled female suit ( Queen Paola's Fashion and Style Part 1: November 2003 -) has always been after my fancy. Finally, Queen Paola succeeded in choosing exactly the right jewelry to match with those two rather cold shades: blue and gleaming white pearls (no yellow gold or gemstones in warm tones) Queen Paola Pictures - Belgian Royals Host New Year Reception For Diplomatic Heads of Mission - Zimbio .

The queen looks incredibly elegant here having selected wonderful pieces of her fabulous garnet jewelry –if I only had found photos which show Paola’s entire outfit  . I love that beautiful, vertically plus horizontally structured brown jacket anyway –it appears to have a very good fit.

I agree with you on Queen Paola's smart necklace combination and you are right -she rewore her chic outfit from Belgium's National Day in 2010: Newscom - Multimedia for Websites and Publishers (full view), Newscom - Multimedia for Websites and Publishers (close-up) ...unfortunately now, without a lovely hat, it appears kind of incomplete.
On February 1st, 2012 Queen Paola visited the "Heldenhuis" (The House of Heroes) in Halle, a center for children and teenagers:

Both the dress jacket and overcoat are nice but maybe it's too much checkered print going on with both items.

I think this herringbone outfit is rather nice on Queen Paola.

 I second that. Generally, I like this kind of pattern on the queen, but Paola doesn’t appear at her best in gray tones –she needs some warm colours matching her hair viz. complexion. Hence, that overcoat which joins black, bluish gray and fawn looks far more attractive than her jacket i.m.o.. At any rate, the wavy neckline of Paola’s delicate top is pretty, even though I’m not sure if its design goes with a herringbone pattern.

I don't like the coat or the hat.

Since I've already expressed my appreciation for Queen Paola's recycled winter coat as well as for her classy brown jacket beneath, the hat is left... Its intertwined ornaments look dressy i.m.o. though I don't fancy its shape. A more overhanging but perhaps narrower, diagonal brim turned upwards would have been regal and suitable considering Paola's enchanting gently curved cheekbones, eyes and lips.

I kinda like the design on the hat. Otherwise it would look very plain and boring.

A different cut would probably flatter her figure a bit more. It would be a nice outfit if it didn't make her look so huge, IMO.

This outfit makes her look wider; not flattering at all IMO.

The colour of the suit is nice but the cut is very unflattering indeed.
