Some designers are closely linked with certain royal women.
For example, when you hear “Carolina Herrera,” you might think of Queen Letizia of Spain. If someone mentions “Jan Taminiau,” Queen Máxima of the Netherlands comes to mind. Similarly, Kate Middleton often wears designs by Jenny Packham.
However, this time, it was Queen Mathilde of Belgium who dazzled everyone in a beautiful red sequin dress by the British designer.
Queen Mathilde red sequin dress by Jenny Packham
The King and Queen of Belgium attended a concert at Bozar in Brussels.
The concert was part of the Queen Elisabeth Music Competition, a significant event for Queen Mathilde, who loves music.
On Monday night, King Philippe and Queen Mathilde attended the violin finals, both dressed elegantly.
The King wore a suit and tie, while Queen Mathilde wore a dreamy red dress.
Queen Mathilde debuted a Jenny Packham dress for this special night.
The dress, called “Sungem,” has short sleeves and a round neckline, covered in sequins of various sizes from top to bottom.
It was a true masterpiece, showing that Queen Mathilde, often overlooked, can be one of the best-dressed royals when she wants to be.
She paired her dress with matching red heels and a small, simple clutch.
Because the dress was already very sparkly, she chose to keep her jewelry minimal. She wore only a pair of diamond earrings, each with two circles—a smaller one on top and a larger one hanging below.
Jenny Packham’s designs are a favorite among royal women, with Kate Middleton being a major fan.
Kate has over a dozen evening gowns by Packham.
One memorable dress was the gold sequin gown she wore to the James Bond premiere in 2021. Another standout was the green dress with a tulle-filled boat neckline that she wore during her visit to Jamaica in 2022.
Other royals also love Jenny Packham’s creations.
Crown Princess Mary of Denmark, Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, her sister, Princess Madeleine, and Princess Charlène of Monaco.
