Royal Ladies of Luxembourg Fashion and Style Part 5: June 2023 -

[maria-olivia]

She wore her Veil in her hands for inside , Why not wearing it like the Other Royals

 

[Somebody]

Rather dreadful. You’d think she could do better.

Maria Teresa at the funeral of Pope Francis today, not her nicest black dress especially as to the transparent sleeves and the belt:


** Full view ** Full view ** Upper part **

And once again, oh dear!

I get her need to be cool and trendy. But M-T's need to make a break from the traditions and norms she was subject to in her decades of public life does indeed throw up some odd sartorial choices!

 

[W.Y.CII]

I am so confused about MT fashion in recently years. Not necessarily inappropriate but always somehow looks off and odd for the occasion. And she used to be one of the well dressed ladies.

 

[Snowangel]

Sadly she is not dressed right for a funeral...

Maybe she lost the fixing pin. So she knew that while walking it vale will slip. When she is sat inside, it doesn't move.

 

[Frelinghighness]

the dress is so unflattering but the giant belt makes it SO much worse

 

[maria-olivia]

It is an old veil , perhaps she tought she will be to "petite";
I hope she will do better in white for the new Pope to come ? They are only 3

 

[Blog Real]

As the Grand Ducal family of Luxembourg is Catholic, it is a shame that Grand Duchess Maria Teresa did not dress appropriately. And only now did I realize that she had a black veil in her hand but for some reason she didn't use it to cover her head....

A lot of non royal watchers would find it hard to believe she was the Grand Duchess of Luxembourg.
Her outfit was not fit for the solemn occasion of a Papal Funeral.

Grand Duchess Maria Teresa hosted a reception for Red Cross volunteers - not sure what to think of that Count Dracula cape look, though I like the colour in general:


** Pic 1 ** Pic 2 ** Pic 3 **


Much better at the inauguration of the LUGA exhibition today:

Again no mantilla

 

[Adda]

I can't believe MT's two awful looks for her last two big international engagements as Grand Duchess. Especially when her husband is the very image of elegance.

The belt and length are excessive. No mantilla which is a shame.
I feel like she has given up or is over her role as Grand Duchess and can't be bothered to conform any longer

 

[maria-olivia]

Totally agree with you , I am KO...

 

[taogg]

Again no mantilla

I don’t get it either. She clearly knows the protocol, but it seems she intentionally chooses not to follow it or only partially does so. I’m not sure what’s happened in recent years, but some of her fashion choices have been rather odd. Anyway, since this isn’t a protocol thread, I’ll just leave it at that.

 

[Moonmaiden23]

Again no mantilla

The Grand Duchess was the only Catholic Royal woman who didn't cover her head-same as the funeral of Pope Francis.

And since she was only one of the 4-5 women wearing white, she stood out.

She used the Privilege du blanc.. but her own version..which is a shame.
I don't really understand her. Sometimes her fashion choices are like if she is revolted and wish to go back at her 20s ... free to do but... not in Pope's funeral, neither in new Pope's inauguration mass

 

[Marengo]

Apart from the veil, the dress is not formal enough for this occassion. It would be lovely for walking on the boulevard of Biarritz, but this occassion requires something less casual.

I agree, it is a trend for Maria Theresa for quite some years now. I don't understand the logic here at all as the Lux GDF supposedly is more Roman than the pope, so to speak.
