Queen Mathilde's Eveningwear Part 1: July 2013 - September 2015

[dazzling]

The top is hideous especially the sleeves. She does not pull it off.

[udyusa]

Not her style, at all. Way too overwhelming with those massive sleeves...

I love it. So elegant. Had she not been in mourning, I would have loved some color.

[IloveCP]

That black dress is very lovely and elegant.

[udyusa]

The black velvet dress is elegant in it's simplicity. The earrings add the right touch as does her hair style.

Lovely but HM has very long Arms .

Yes, the dress has a high collar and no sleeves and it does seem to make her arms look longer and very elegant - perhaps that's a useful fashion tip for people with shorter arms! Queen Mathilde looked beautiful - I've said it before, but I don't think you can beat a nice little black dress for an evening out!

Marvelous! She is wonderfully striking here, and she has dressed the girls beautifully, too, imo. Lovely family.

Just beautiful, I love the velvet halter dress, I think her clutch is tucked under one arm as she has her hands full!

that's beautiful! Not 100% sure about the earrings, however.

Màxima has the same Natan dress in black , am I right?

[maria-olivia]

Agree could be great with pearl or diamond earrings.
More money on dresses than grand jewelry ! sad

A very similar one, though there are differences:

[IloveCP]

I love the shade of brown and the style but I don't like the design on the neckline.

[Jacknch]

I think this is an amazing outfit to wear for a night out at the opera - classic colours and the town and black in good proportions. I did a double take on the earnings because I thought they were just citrine, but there are also some darker brownish stones that seem to match the rest of the outfit.

Grace Kelly- esque elegance. Love the color. Dislike neckline. Not sure about earrings.

Like Mathilde's version better- Max's neckline looks like dead crows! I don't like Mathilde's either- but of the 2 prefer her neckline! Sorry for the double post. Didn't see this before- not sure how to add!

[ANNIE_S]

I like the dress, the neckline gives it extra-interest. I don't usually like golden earrings, but these ones are lovely and, though I'm not very fond of they being worn with the dark coat, they look quite nice with the dress.

[dazzling]

The dress color is lovely but everything else is not. The fit seems a bit too small, the feathers on the neckline is hideous. The coat is a nice but not liking the collar. Her earrings are a greta match with the dress.
