Queen Mathilde's Daytime Fashion, Part 1: July 2013 - February 2014

[Barbara21]

I don´t like this outfit at all. The fabric seems too shiny.
I like this colour but from head to toe is too much.

[HereditaryPrincess]

I must be in the minority here, as I really like this outfit, it looks great on Mathilde. On a completely different note (and I apologise for going off-topic), GD Maria Teresa looks quite small when she's standing next to Mathilde and Philippe!

[Prinsessan]

I think it's very elegant! I love the hairstyle and hat.

[Frelinghighness]

The only thing I like about the outfit are the pearl and diamond earrings. The hairdo is very old fashioned, the hat is just too small for her and positioned wrong. The unrelieved blue, without a brooch, without anything different is too much. The cut of the coat, pockets on the hips, is very unflattering and therefore must be you know who.

I don't like the hat love the color.

Absolutely beautiful dress. Love that shade of blue. One of my favorites from her.

Great color but I feel that it ages her.

Queen Mathilde is currently in Hong Kong - yesterday, December 4, she recycled the nice Dries Van Noten dress we've last seen on her in Antwerpen in September (I like it better without that hat).

Today, December 5, she has worn a lovely lace dress she has also worn before:

I like both outfits, even Dries Van Noten dress. But the hairdo isn´t my favourite.

When was the previous time she has worn this dress? Because I can't seem to remember that.

[Frelinghighness]

Pretty green dress and beige one too. Her hair needs help, a cut I think

I hadn't been sure either, otherwise I would have found the relevant pic, so it seems it's been a new one instead.

I don't care for the color of the lace dress. It's kind of muddy looking..

[HereditaryPrincess]

I like both dresses. The green dress is pretty, refreshing and gives a warm/summery feel to a cold winter's day. My only negative comment about this look would be that Mathilde should've picked different coloured shoes. The lace dress is nice and looks good on Mathilde, and I like the flowery patterns.

Yesterday, December 6, Mathilde wore two different outfits in Hong Kong:


A very nice coat in red with a dress underneath:

And the outfit with stripes from November, but this time without the coat and with a red jacket instead which looks much better!

The red coat is lovely but the style of the coat is old. Reminds me of her early years of a royal.

Second outfit, the jacket is way much nicer that the red matching coat IMO.

[HereditaryPrincess]

I'm not overly keen on the red coat, but it looks quite festive and good on Mathilde.

I wasn't a fan of the stripy skirt the first time I saw it, and I'm still not so sure now. However I do like her red blazer/jacket.

[udyusa]

I'm not a fan of the red coat. It's just too 'busy' looking.

As for the second outfit, I still think the skirt makes her look wide in the hip area..not flattering at all. I do like the red jacket, however.

[IloveCP]

I love the red color. Beautiful color and style.

For a visit to the exposition 'Henry van de Velde - Passion-Function-Beauty'' at the Royal Museum of Art and History in Brussels today, December 10, Mathilde recycled an outfit from October - I didn't like it in October, but now it looks better, as she wears the jacket differently and the combination with another hairstyle looks better.

Queen Mathilde hosted a reception at the Royal Castle today, December 11, 2013, wearing a new Natan dress. Looks good on her!
