HM looks great in bright colors--the coral/orange accents are lovely.

Her Majesty continues the recent "gray with vibrant highlight" trend .

And there seems no end in sight..


Queen Paola at the business premises of the magazine "Le Soir" in Brussels today, December 10, wearing grey AGAIN , but the colourful blouse is a good and helpful highlight:

Maybe just a nice coincidence, but the King's bright tie coordinates nicely with the cuffs on the Queen's suit jacket.

I find it a nice jacket, but if my old mother would see this she would rebuke the seamstress. The bars of the pattern do not run neatly. And for a quality that you would expect of a jacket for a Queen that should, even if it is difficult to make.

I love Paola's sense of style. I especially love the photos of her from the 60's - no princess of today can match her. Do we have any threads on fashion of yesteryear?

besides the sewing of the stripepattern, shoes are not pretty either, 2 materials, something unneat about the heals

Not her best look, and could it possibly be new? I don't recall seeing it before.
I do however think its sweet the kings blue tie matches.

[Lina RdC]

I've never seen it before either, Rice! Irrespective of its non-perfect tailoring, Paola's shiny zigzag jacket verifies how she frequently manages to appear elegant and rather cool at once i.m.o.. The peaks optically beautify Her Majesty's waistline.

I am glad that she added a winterly fun element to her black combination...

[stephanievl]

She looked very elegant. Lovely jacket.

[Lina RdC]

Yes, especially its fluted texture and staggered "two part" design appeal to me.
On January 29, 2013 Queen Paola attended a New Year's reception for country officials at the Royal Palace in Brussels:

She recycled her fabulous outfit and jewelry from Grand Duke Jean of Luxembourg's 90th birthday celebrations on January 5, 2011 http://www2.pictures.zimbio.com/gi/9...E7vOty96Rx.jpg, looking even more sophisticated with her classy patterned shawl.

[Rice]

Very elegant look....I think the Queen is looking wonderful these days...She looks younger!

I always love how Paola uses classical pieces like this herringbone jacket with additional nice, fashionable elements -she owns a similarly designed shawl as well http://1.lavenircdn.net/Assets/Image...b.jpg.h600.jpg;
http://www.profimedia.cz/fotografie/...0146515226.jpg. In terms of her black skirt, its horizontal riffle http://www.profimedia.cz/fotografie/...0154163830.jpg would be combined more felicitously with a less ornamented jacket i.m.o..
