Queen Mathilde radiated classic elegance at the state banquet held in honor of Italian President Sergio Mattarella and his daughter, Laura Mattarella.
The Queen of the Belgians opted for a striking look: a fuchsia Armani Privé dress that we have seen before, but remains a safe choice for grand evenings.
The choice was deliberate; the vibrant hue of the dress contrasted with the restrained surroundings of Laeken Castle, lending the ensemble a festive yet refined air.
To complete the look, Mathilde chose two pieces of jewelry that are part of her royal signature: the Laurel Wreath tiara, one of the most iconic pieces of the Belgian family, and the Fringe diamond earrings, which added light and movement to her face.
Princess Astrid and Prince Lorenz also attended the banquet, accompanying King Philippe and the Queen at this high-level diplomatic event.
It was a solemn event, marked by gestures of courtesy between the two delegations.
