I think the blouse is just awful!

It definitely looks better without the tights. Nicely done.

I'm not so sure about the top. Mathilde's red leather jacket is OK, but it would look better with a different top. I'm also not keen on the red stripe on Mathilde's skirt. Her hair is nice, however.

About the only thing I like is her hair. Very soft and youthful.

Another eyesore from Natan.

it's worse than that - its a dress!

I don't mind the dress-if it was on someone 15 years younger. This looks too young for HM.

I really like her hair and red leather jacket is also nice. I can't say anything good about the dress. At fist i didn´t realise it is a dress.

The style of the dress is more appropriate for young girls. The material combination is awful. I do not understand Queen Mathilde's penchant for three quarter sleeves as they tend to look awkward in dresses and jackets. The only redeeming elements of the dress is the nicely tailored upper part and rich orange colour that became Queen Mathilde well. Overall the dress is unfortunate.

[HereditaryPrincess]

Not a huge fan of this outfit. The animal print and shade of orange clash. It does make her stand out from the crowd though!

[Roslyn]

I don't mind that outfit. Her shoes and bag match the skirt, and the bright top makes a nice, warm, colourful contrast. Part of her job is to be a decoration, and I think she does that while still looking very smart. She livens up that otherwise sombre winter gathering in a fairly classy way, I think.

[udyusa]

I also think this is more appropriate for someone younger, but the orange top is a pretty color. I dislike the bow at her waist. I love her hair! She Does liven up the crowd! :)

Her Majesty is looking very lovely today and how the colour suits her.

[IloveCP]

The pink outfit is just beautiful. Love that shade of pink. A very classic and elegant look. One of her best looks.

[PrincessofEurope]

Such an elegant and regal look from Mathilde - she has eased brilliantly into her role as Queen and shines on these formal events

[dbarn67]

Very elegant. I love the soft pink. She look very elegant.

the bag is for sure Dior!
