Due to all the fashion news surrounding Queen Máxima and the state visit to South Africa, the Portuguese president’s state visit to Belgium was somewhat overlooked. At least on this website. That is why we look back at Queen Mathilde’s outfits in this blog.
At the start of the state visit, Queen Mathilde wore a new dress with a burgundy red print from Natan. The sleeveless wool cape also comes from fashion house Natan.

State banquet
During the state banquet, Queen Mathilde wore a dark green velvet gown with strips of guipure lace. The dress is a design by Costarellos. Josine previously wrote a blog about this dress, Queen Máxima has the same one in burgundy red.
