Princess Claire's Fashion and Style Part 1: July 2007 - April 2012

[rubies]

Over the knee boots are so vulgar IMO, and these are quite worn. Its takes the elegance away from a beautiful coat and dress to me.

 

[blujean]

I don't like those boots either.

Princess Claire's outfit for the Te Deum mass looked really elegant i.m.o. -those different kinds of fabric in various shades of brown (coat, artificial fur collar, short dress beneath and buckskin boots: http://d2.img.dutchphotopress.com/8/8684080344854ec37e61ea2af060269567.jpg)

I love this on claire. I also like the coots with this outfitt.

I would have liked to see her top. Not sure about her carrying an Hermes bag to a homeless shelter opening but at least she is honest about having money rather than trying to hide it.

 

[NoorMeansLight]

It's too casual but I don't mind the look, Claire has natural elegance.

a black outfit with a skirt, turtleneck pullover and boots - maybe a bit boring without any coloured
highlight, but lovely anyway.

She looks good, except for the boots.

 

[Patra]

I love the cape of Princess Claire- so chic.

[Al_bina]

Princess Clair's makeup (cheeks and forehead) are odd-looking.

 

[Patra]

I like the pleating on the blouse, but the scoop neck makes her face look long and flat, and the makeup isn't helping things either, IMO!

 

[marymary]

I like the upper part of her outfit. She looks good.

[Frelinghighness]

I like the tailored skirt and jacket. I don't like the necklace. Better jewelry like a big brooch and bigger earrings would have helped.
Also, a nice necklace with the previous dull grey blouse would have livened up her look

 

[Patra]

The oatmeal color is a nice neutral, an I agree that more significant accessories would have been better for the overall look!

 

[stephanievl]

She looked great. Very much like the colour combination.

 

[Blue_]

I like it all very much, exept the necklace... But the rest is great

 

[martina]

I´m not a huge fan of that necklace but outfit looks very elegant

Together with Prince Laurent Princess Claire attended the premiere of the movie "Il Était une Fois une Fois" on February 2nd, 2012:

Hmm, Claire wore so much black again (like on January 12 at an event of the ImmoSolidarity campaign), thus her vibrant orange gloves and the shimmering gray neckline of her coat served as felicitous "distractions". I especially care for the velvety fabric of that neckline as well as for its zigzag design. Regardless, she should really have included a dressy pair of earrings in her jewelry!

Sorry that I didn't post a more complete picture of the outfit back then -Princess Claire's "blouse" actually seems to be a dress : http://www.nieuwsblad.be/Assets/Images_Upload/2012/01/24/PHOTONEWS_10358477-013.jpg.h600.jpg.938.jpg Those pleats directly under its round neckline appeal to me as well, Patra. Furthermore, its patterns in deep blue/violet underscoring Claire's intensive blue eyes look notably charming on that silky fabric i.m.o..

 

[NoorMeansLight]

She did carry some colourful gloves but there's still too much black going on. Elegant lady nevertheless. Good job, Lina!

She looks nice and elegant but it could use some colour.

Princess Claire at the annual mass to commemorate the deceased members of the family
in Laeken today, February 16, 2012, wearing a great coat and a red hat. The fabric and
colours of the coat are really nice, I only felt the hat was too funny and colourful for
such a mass.

[Fanvanmaxima]

Love the coat. But also here the hat is awful. The Belgian royals can use some hat advise.

 

[NoorMeansLight]

I love the coat, it looks so elegant!!

 

[bertie5252003]

The hat is for ordinary Sunday's and not this type of mass I agree but the rest is lovely.

Love the coat, its Natan

Also like the hat with it but maybe to colourfull for a mass.

 

[IloveCP]

I like the coat but the hat is ridiculous!

 

[Baroness of Books]

I only like the coat and handbag. The hat is too festive in color attending a mass for the deceased, and its shape and huge buttons are ridiculous. I dislike those over-the-knee boots as well.
