Queen Mathilde in blue arriving at Ottawa International Airport for the state visit to Canada today, March 11:

The outfit is beautiful and regal.
 
Mathilde looks gorgeous. Her outfit is very simple but elegant at the same time.

A stunningly regal red outfit.
 
I love her arrival outfit, very chic. I love the brooch, and button detail :flowers:

The red is fantastic. I love the hat. Since she isn't wearing the maple leaf brooch at first, I assume it was a gift to her from us.

I love the coat and pants in her casual look as well.

All in all, a great start to the tour :flowers:
 
Before we had King Baudouin and King Albert II as Kings and their Consort Queens in their shadow. With her bling bling clothes King Philippe is in the Shadow. I don't agree with that. The Queen don't have to promote Natan in Canada.
 
That's one of her best looks. Very beautiful.

Are you trying to say Mathilde is often overdressed ? If that is the case, I disagree. She dresses as one would expect the queen of a wealthy European country (and former industrial and colonial power) to dress. Sometimes it is a miss, but most of the time she nails it.

I don't particularly like that Natan look BTW.

That's an extremely biased comment. Mathilde and Philippe have always worked as a team and Philippe has never been outshinef by his wife. Of course when it comes to outfits a dress will always impress and get more attentions than a simple tuxedo. It's what we do here: focus on the looks.
As for the previous Queen Consorts: Fabiola wasn't known for her fashion taste, whereas Paola outshined her husband a lot during the Dolce Vita years...when she became a queen at 56 she wasn't exactly in her prime.
 
I love the colors but not a huge fan of the print of the skirt. :flowers:

Hate the thing on her head. Looks like a decopage honor to our flag :eek:
 
I love the look. Beautiful coat.
 
Love that headpiece, also by Natan?

No, the hat is by Fabienne Delvigne.

Queen Mathilde in Toronto today, March 14:

Both coat and hat are repeats.
Here’s the coat in 2016, with different closure:

Hat was worn for the State Visit to Poland in 2015.

I find it very interesting that Mathilde has predominantly worn repeats, but with slight alterations. Changing a collar on a gown, closure on a coat, altering a hat slightly or adding a cape are all easy things to do, but give outfits different looks. I’m a huge fan of repeating and adapting clothes and I wish more royals did this, they all have tailors and bespoke designs regularly made after all.

:previous: I agree. I like seeing royals recycle, but also when they find great ways of changing up the look just a bit. This is when having a great handle on accessories comes in handy. Just a slight change in styling makes a difference, and at times some mild alterations. Not just recycling, but the use of varied accessories and not simply jewelry, I would love to see some more royals embrace, especially younger ones.

I love today's look. The coat is very elegant and chic on her. :flowers:

The hat is fantastic, and I love her hair style as well ?
 
:previous: I think it is great up close and up to about 10 feet. Then the color detail muddles and (at least in photos) it seems to vvvvviiiiiiiiibbbbbrrrrate. I think from 30 feet, the vibe goes away and it is fine. This is one that I would really like to see in person to judge it. But no one has volunteered to buy me plane tickets, lately. ;).
 
I hate the hat. Not sure about the coat and dress. Initially it seems like it’s too much but the detail is nice on the close up picture.

Side note: I think Mathilde would look beautiful in the shade of purple the other lady is wearing in the first picture. Actually, it’s a great colour, period.
 
Ugh and she has been doing amazing this tour. The coat makes me dizzy :sad:

I do love the color of the accessories.

Mathilde should certainly get her own poll for this tour, so many amazing choices (if we ever get a new poll).
 
Back on track. Lovely coat, great color. :flowers:

And again I love a real hat on her. And the cape is great outdoors ?

But agree the boots were horrid. Reminds of Letizia and those red boots of hers. Not a good look with the jacket.
