Crown Princess Mathilde's Eveningwear Part 1: April 2004 - March 2010

[Hannelore]

I want to start a topic about all the beautiful gala dresses Mathilde has worn so far.

1,2,3,6) Let's start at her own engagement dinner: She wore a beautiful deep blue dress created by Yves Dooms.

For me this is one of the most beautiful dresses she's ever worn: the 'golden gown' from Natan.

I believe it's Mathilde's favorite too, because she's already worn it on various occasions.

I think it can be combined with a skirt or trousers

 

[Hannelore]

I'm not too fond about this one: a grey evening dress wth a golden jacket.
At a gala dinner in Japan, in 2002.

A red dress she wore twice, pretty color, but I don't think the 'collar' is very flattering. By Natan

At the pre wedding ball for Willem-Alexander and Máxima: a red dress with velvet 'top'. The second pic shows the true color of the dress. Natan.

A charming red dress she wore twice:


When the Swedish king and queen made a visit to Belgium, Mathilde was expecting Elisabeth and on an economic mission to Thailand in 2001.

 

[Hannelore]

Also during the Swedish state visit: a pink-lilac dress. I think it makes her look very sweet and young.

A very stylish, classic white dress

 

[Hannelore]

The much discussed Versailles-outfit

A lot of people really hated it, but I think it's gorgeous, even tough I think it should have had a bit more 'waist'

It's from Gerald Watelet.

 

[Hannelore]

So elegant: completely in white

 

[Hannelore]

One of her first gala outfits, and not exactly the best, IMO
On the Spanish state visit to Belgium in 2000.

It was designed by Belgian Pierre Gauthier

Thks Hannelore for the wonderful pics!
I agree with you that CP Mathilde hve beautiful tastes in gala gowns...i especially love the golden gown.

 

[Hannelore]

A very special and exotic one but wonderful. From Gerald Watelet.

 

[Hannelore]

Shocking pink for another state visit. A daring choice but a very good one!

She was expecting Gabriel, it was at the Norwegian state visit to Belgium. Natan.

 

[Hannelore]

A very gracious black dress for a gala dinner during their visit to the United Arab emirates

 

[Hannelore]

Light blue gala dress for Finnish state visit to Belgium (in March 2004), I think it looks so beautiful and fresh on her fair skin!

Nice to see that she's experimenting with other colors as well, apart from deep red and deep blue.

 

[Hannelore]

Economic mission to Poland: beige pants with a beautiful lace top. Natan.

This is a great picture, it's a really quite flattering outfit for her.

 

[Hannelore]

A few more pics of the golden gown, the white one for the Danish state visit and the red one she wore in Amsterdam (you can really see it's deep wine color very well her, it's gorgeous!!)

 

[Hannelore]

A few more of the red gala dress she wore to Luxemburg.

Looking at their faces, I think Mathilde and Filip had just returned from a skiing holiday

 

[Hannelore]

She wore a gey-silverish gala outfit (with pants) for the wedding concert of Laurent and Claire in 2003. She was pregnant of Gabriel.

and again at the prelude concert for the national day in 2005. (expecting her third child).

Mathilde has imo the best clothing sense of all the Crown Princesses.

(Armani) dress for the concert before Frederik and Mary' wedding: I thought it was very regal and elegant, but it was too tight on her belly, which spoiled the effect a bit. She's worn better dresses.

[Cathérine Bergeyck]

she does have the most elegant way of holding herself!

 

[Cathérine Bergeyck]

The dress Mathilde wore to the wedding of Frederik and Mary was much better than the one she wore yesterday. It's so fresh and sweet, and it looks great on her fair skin. When she walked to the church, it was blowing a bit in the wind, and it looked so lovely and elegant!

 

[Sancia]

Some of my friends are wondering: could Mathilde be pregnant again? She seemed to have some belly.

 

[Dennism]

That was a marvelous dress that she wore today. I loved the way it blew in the wind. But then the design on it was great too. It was fresh and sweet and sort of youngish too.

 

[Cathérine Bergeyck]

I think the grey dress was just too tight. In the one she wore today, I could see no belly at all. I think it's a bit soon to be pregnant again (but I have no say in the matter of course ), it isn't even a year ago since Gabriel was born.
