She had just crossed the Atlantic. Mathilde of Belgium had just accompanied Princess Elisabeth to her graduation at Harvard alongside King Philippe, and upon returning to Brussels, she didn’t take a moment to rest.
The final night of the Queen Elisabeth Competition awaited her, and she made her appearance. That speaks volumes about the genuine connection she has with this competition, one of the most prestigious in the world of classical music. It’s no coincidence that it bears the name of her predecessor, Queen Elisabeth, who founded the competition in 1937.
Which dress did Queen Mathilde choose?
The dress was the star of the evening, and rightly so. In a nude tone with a floral embossment running throughout the garment and meticulously crafted embroidery, the loose silhouette and short sleeves lent it a romantic yet sophisticated air that perfectly matched the atmosphere of a classical music evening.
Matching pumps, understated earrings, loose hair with soft waves, and subtle makeup. An ensemble that doesn’t compete with the stage, which is exactly what you want at these kinds of events.
