Royal Dresses of the Day: Sofia and Mathilde go Retro

Princess Sofia attended the Sophiahemmet University's graduation ceremony yesterday.

I daresay Sofia's come up with one of her best outfits for the year. It's described as a "modern take on a Forties tea dress," and I'm loving that little bit of retro flair on her. Plus, of course, the vibrant green. So bright and fresh.

Dress by L.K.Bennett

That's a winner. I won't be shocked if it turns up in another royal closet or two later on, plenty of them wear L.K.Bennett.

Some have likened Sofia's dress to the green Dolce & Gabbana worn in Canada in 2016 by the Duchess of Cambridge. It reminded me of another dress we saw just last week on another royal:

King Philippe and Queen Mathilde attended a concert for the Queen Elisabeth Competition on June 4.
Belgian Monarchy

This repeated Dries Van Noten dress from Mathilde definitely shares the same sleeve feel and a similar hint of retro, no? I can't help but love this on her. Even though it stole its color scheme from a bee. And even though that floral print is definitely trying to Rorschach test us all.

Royal Dresses of the Day: A Mathilde and Máxima Update

Three cute dresses from two members of the M-Team:

King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima attended the Liberation Day concert this weekend.

This dress is a sparkly dream ready for a twirl, I just sooooo wish this shade of tan wasn't the color of choice for the accessories. The dress is a customized Claes Iversen and it seems like the belt on the runway version was maybe a touch darker, which I like better.

Queen Mathilde attended the vocal semi-finals of the Queen Elisabeth Music Competition.

Belgian Monarchy

Asymmetrical navy, white, and bronze stripes? Yes please! I adore this. It's a new Belgian designer for her, Cédric Charlier, and this is a promisingly cute debut.

King Philippe and Queen Mathilde attended the first session of the vocal finals for the Queen Elisabeth Competition.

Belgian Monarchy

Nothing says Is it time for my summer holiday yet? like a boldly printed one-shoulder dress with starfish earrings. And nothing says absolute dedication to matching accessories quite like a clutch in nearly right shade of tennis ball. (I am completely dying that she went for it with the hardest color to match in this whole dress, honestly. Bless.)

Double Tiara Watch of the Day: October 12

Ready for more dispatches from fall state visit season? We're cutting straight to the tiaras, just because we can:

King Philippe and Queen Mathilde are in Japan for a state visit, where Emperor Akihito and Empress Michiko hosted a state banquet in their honor.

I had high hopes for some serious tiara weight here, in a monarchy-to-monarchy state visit. Not from the Empress, of course; she stopped wearing tiaras a few years ago. But Mathilde wasn't feeling it either, opting for her simple Wolfers Necklace Tiara. Okay, Mathilde. I'm gonna let this slide because a) the dress is basically handling the majesticness of this look on its own, and b) we still have a state visit from Belgium to the Netherlands coming up for some true diamond power.

Belgian Monarchy

It's a pretty good gala dress, though, isn't it? (By Dries Van Noten, per ModeKoninginMathilde.) Showcases the yellow and red sash of Japan's Order of the Precious Crown, but doesn't try to match it. Together with the warm tones of her outfit from their official welcome ceremony and first meeting with the imperial couple (above), she had a whole autumnal thing going on for the day. It's the pumpkin spice latte of state visit wardrobes, and I'm digging it.

VTM screencaps

Lest you think Queen Mathilde was the only lady in a tiara, the rest of the imperial ladies were out in force sporting their regular full parure looks. I spy Crown Princess Masako in the Pearl Sunburst Tiara, Princess Kiko in her own parure, Princess Mako in her own parure, and Princess Kako also in her own parure, at least. Really a very sparkly display, overall. (For more, click: here for some looks at Mathilde and the setting, here for a video with state banquet highlights at the end, and here for a gallery focusing on the Japanese family. Sayako Kuroda, the daughter of the Emperor and Empress, was also in attendance.)

The Norwegian royal family welcomed the President and First Lady of Singapore for a state visit, with a state banquet on Monday night.

So anyway, like I said, we're cutting straight to the tiaras. Yeah, focus on the tiara. It's the Amethyst Necklace Tiara for a change, that deserves some love, right? It does. Looks like Princess Astrid went for the Vasa Tiara. Queen Sonja shook it up a little bit for herself, in the Modern Gold Tiara. (But only a little bit, because she still wore a 25-year-old Erik Mortensen dress and some things never change. See Sonja and more of the rest here.)

Sandra Mansour gown, per Heaven and The Royals and I

Okay, and the dress...well, I do think it's been done a disservice by the flashes and whatnot that are just a part of the traditional state visit stroll at the palace, because we're losing all that skirt detail and thus are losing the best part of the dress. But that doesn't mean it was a wise choice in the first place. Oh well. We'll always have the tiaras.

Royal Prints of the Day: June 8

So many royal women out and about in prints n' patterns these days! Let's breeze through a few of them real quick:

King Felipe and Queen Letizia attended audiences at Zarzuela Palace on Monday
House of HM the King

This, in fact, is our second case of Who wore it best? for the week, because Crown Princess Mary owns this Hugo Boss design in a skirt. They've both worn it many times, and I'm still trying to figure out what hidden messages lie within this Rorschach test of a dress. (Can you get dresses custom made with subliminal I need another tiara messages?)

Princess Madeleine attended a folk music mass over the weekend

Madeleine's racking up the events while home for National Day. Given that this dress is from Somerset by Alice Temperley, I am only surprised that one of our other royal Temperley fans didn't get to it first. (Sure, sure, the Duchess of Cambridge, but I'm thinking someone else: Queen Mathilde, step right up!) It's really lovely, and the addition of the belt takes it to another level.

Queen Mathilde attended a concert for the Queen Elisabeth piano competition

Actually, Mathilde's been a little busy racking up Dries van Noten dresses for herself. This one's part groovy, part hotel carpet. But as I am all for something a little different, I'm going with groovy.

King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima attended the opening of the Holland Festival

This is your basic, pretty floral dress, no problems there. Which leaves me free to concern myself with the possibility that she could pair these earrings with that lobster necklace, and to contemplate what sort of marine life she's coming for next.

Royal Outfits of the Day: May 10

What's Queen Mathilde been up to since her practically tie-dyed appearance at Sweden's birthday bash?  More prints, pretty much.

May 2: Attending the Queen Elisabeth Competition for piano

This is quite fun. Although if you told me this was the emblem of her favorite tropical resort where she's decided to take up a summer job at the front desk, I might believe you.

May 9: Again at the Queen Elisabeth Competition, this time with Princess Eleonore along

Having handed the pink print baton over to her youngest, Mathilde opted for a scenic view of her beloved tropical paradise. I see the logic in ending the print before ending the dress, but viewing from the top down is a bit like turning the last page in a book and finding it blank.

Royal Palace

Prints and some texture, just for variety. (This was actually before leaving for Sweden.) This is precisely what I meant when I said her dress is Sweden was lacking a bit of the structure we usually see in her Armani Privé outfits, by the way. This one could double as a Star Trek uniform - in the sleekest and coolest possible way. Chic.

Royal Style Twins of the Day: May 22

Okay, so here's what I think happened:

View image | gettyimages.com

Queen Máxima and Queen Mathilde took one look at what was going on with the sculpture exhibition they were opening in The Hague this week...

View image | gettyimages.com

...and their mission was clear: TIME TO SEUSS IT UP. And did they succeed? Yes they did indeed! (98 and 3/4 percent guaranteed.)

View image | gettyimages.com

I think we can guess which of these brains decided they should be rhyming technicolor cartoons for the day. Sporting a millinery party platter of Seussical costume trimmings, Máxima was outfitted in a coral-y orange Natan coat dress with extra volume in the skirt and sleeves and coral pendant earrings. Obviously keen to live up to their Natan Twins moniker, Mathilde also sported the Belgian brand in an orange and blue print belted frock with a Fabienne Delvigne blue turban and pearl earrings.

View image | gettyimages.com

I'm telling you, I LOVE this appearance and every bit of ridiculous contained within. Seriously! They made me laugh, they made themselves laugh, and - here's the important part - they did their best to be highly visible for all the onlookers hoping to catch the double queen show at an outdoor engagement. That's a job well done. They can bathe themselves in beige another day.

And in case you have any doubt that this was a plan and not a coincidence, note that Mathilde made an outfit switch just for her jaunt with Máx.

Earlier that day, she was sporting the same hat but with a repeated blue floral Dries Van Noten dress for a pit stop at the residence of the Belgian ambassador in The Hague. Definitely a color scheme designed for an easy flip into twin mode. Also, this:

Classic. Oh, you two.

Royal Outfit Grab Bag of the Day: April 2

And for today's installment of things random royals have worn recently...

View image | gettyimages.com

Queen Máxima has been on a trip to Myanmar as part of her role as a U.N. advocate for inclusive finance, and she wore something a little familiar...the brown and blue version of the pink Dolce & Gabbana dress we've seen on Crown Princess Victoria and Princess Marie-Chantal! Give me the light pink any day, though.

View image | gettyimages.com

Queen Mathilde attended an exhibit featuring Dries van Noten's work, so she wore a Dries van Noten outfit. Anything else would have been just rude, you see. (Queen Robocop's knee is on the mend, but she uses a wheelchair when lots of walking/standing are required.)

View image | gettyimages.com

I liked the floral print underneath, but possibly the most interesting part of this outfit was the mix of patterns with the coordinating striped jacket. She also put in an appearance in another of her sheath dresses, which she does (and should) own in a million variations because they're just right for her.

Also riding the royal blue train lately was Sofia Hellqvist:

I like this. I think I like this? Yes, I like this. A slouchy casual air, but still some sparkle. I grow ever more excited to see what she picks for the big day ahead.

Royal Outfits of the Day: May 30

It's been a while since we checked in with the current goings on of the Belgian royal family, so let's make up for that right quick.

— Belgian Royal Palace (@MonarchieBe) May 29, 2014

Yesterday, Queen Mathilde participated in the Fight Against Cancer bike ride.

Yeah, we definitely need to keep up to date on our printed trouser happenings. In true Mathilde style, the color of the print matches the color of her top, though the print makes it hard to tell. She paired the outfit with flats, since she was going to do some bike riding herself. Click here for a gallery.

Mathilde's had several other engagements lately, but this one caught my eye more than the rest:

#494005435 / gettyimages.com

Mathilde visited an art exhibition earlier this week.

Yes, apparently it is Floral Print Week here on the blog, and I'm liking this Dries van Noten floral too.

The rest of the family has news of their own...

Communion des Princes Aymeric et Nicolas pic.twitter.com/SFeUrTmCA6
— Place Royale (@RTLPlaceRoyale) May 29, 2014

Princes Nicolas and Aymeric, twin sons of Prince Laurent and Princess Claire, had their first communion. Looking very smart indeed, the two gentlemen arrived with their mother, who was lovely in vibrant green. The event drew several other royals, so click here for a big gallery or here for a video.

And finally, the palace confirmed the date for another royal wedding: the King's nephew Prince Amedeo, son of Princess Astrid and Prince Lorenz, will marry Elisabetta Maria Rosboch von Wolkenstein on July 5th in Rome. Their engagement was officially announced back in February.

Weekly Royal Fashion Awards: October 15-21

An Honorable Mention, For Starters...

The Duke of Cambridge

Video: Prince William carries out an investiture

Since Harry in uniform won the top spot a couple weeks ago, it only seems fair to offer the same to his big brother. Here's Wills looking dashing in uniform while taking a step forward in the world of senior royaldom by performing his first investiture on behalf of the Queen. (And of course his lovely wife was back in the game - see what I did there, lolz - this week as well, in repeated casual mode.)

Best in Hat

Queen Máxima

Left to Right: Mathilde continuing her visits around the country with the King; Máxima opening all kinds of stuff, really

Máx may have stuck to gray, but at least there were no visors. Also, she hilariously repeated her outfit from the Luxembourg wedding of 2012 just as we took a look back at her royal wedding guest appearances - minus the giant feather hat this time, though, because one doesn't have time to check ceiling heights and such for everyday use.

Best in Non-Hat

Princess Letizia

L to R: Mathilde at an AIDS and HIV event, at a fashion event, a concert, and an audience; Letizia in Totana and at an audience at Zarzuela; Victoria at a prize ceremony

Mathilde continued her foray into Belgian design variety with an outfit for her fashion event from Ann Demeulemeester, thankfully stopping short of the full runway version, and Victoria went for sparkle, but Letizia's simple black skirt and leopard blouse are winning this as far as I'm concerned. She looks good.

And a Final Honorable Mention to...

Princess Estelle

Princess Estelle attended a tennis tournament

And her parents were with her, I guess (details, details). Estelle! Automatic jumpy claps. You'll want to click here to see her big arrival, shaking hands, being awesome, etc.

Best in Visits

Queen Máxima and Princess Letizia

Video: Felipe and Letizia meet their Dutch visitors at the airport

Willem-Alexander and Máxima got back to their one day visits to fellow European monarchs this past week with a quick stop in Spain to see the King and Queen. So many things to love just in this video: the warm greetings, the best thing Letizia wore all week, Máxima's abundant use of aquamarines, and her excellent response to the Spanish monarchy's anti-hat and currently anti-bling culture.

 

That would be a jeweled butterfly in the hair, of course. Attagirl!

Most Curiously Hatted

Queen Mathilde

Continuing visits across the country with King Philippe

Mathilde had other events this week (she was in New York, and I think we'll cover that when we cover the rest of the people in NYC next week), but this one sort of wiped them all out. There are outfits that you can casually throw a hat on...and then there are outfits that you can not.

Second Most Curiously Hatted

Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit

Visiting Vest-Agder

I don't know what exactly is going on here, but these two together without context humors me. If I hadn't seen them next to each other on video (click here!), I might think someone had Photoshopped this up: one Arctic survivor bundled up for life and one dude in a suit, just out for a stroll.

Best in Family Events

The Swedish Royal Family

King Carl Gustaf, Queen Silvia, Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel, Prince Carl Philip, Chris O'Neill, and Princess Madeleine attend a reception celebrating the King's 40th Jubilee

First, the Jubilee festivities continued with a reception, where Victoria's simple dress was the perfect day dress to pair with her father's order, and a much less distracting choice than Silvia's Easter egg suit...

The Opening of Parliament and the evening performance (King and Queen not pictured)

...and then it was time for the annual opening of Parliament. The black and white on the ladies is the standard dress code, and a throwback to the court dress of earlier days, and Madeleine's winning it (during the day at least).

Best in Variety

Crown Princess Mary

Mary at an awards ceremony, and during the state visit from Vietnam (with her Erdem dress)

Mary had a busy week, more events than this, and she had some interesting designers too. A blue Gucci number - not unlike the Gucci worn by Máxima earlier this year, sans the Bea sleeves - and Erdem! Count that as another royal Erdem that I actually like. I like that blue coat too, and as a bonus it was worn for a state visit, and you know what that means...

Tiara Watch!

Reason #597 why fall is awesome: we usually get a couple state visits out of it, and state visits = tiaras. Tiaras in all their sparkly action, no less:

Video: State banquet for the President of Vietnam

Queen Margrethe is wearing the Baden Palmette Tiara; Mary has on her wedding tiara; Marie is wearing her regular floral tiara; and Benedikte is also in her floral tiara. A regular diamond party! And thank heavens for the tiaras, because I'm not wild about the gowns. Marie's is lovely, but that waist ornamentation has no business being cluttered by a sash and a star. And Mary looks like she's reusing the skirt from one of my favorite New Year's Court outfits, and yet I still don't love it. Hmm...

Who was your best dressed last week?

Weekly Royal Fashion Awards: July 15-20, and a Bonus of Cute

Best in Cute

Prince George of Cambridge

Video: The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge leave the hospital with their bundle of joy

Obviously this is outside of our date range, happening yesterday. Whatever. BABIES, amirite?! You could just pick him up and squeeze him. (But don't, because police.) They were one adorable, happy family in blue. Kate's bespoke Jenny Packham was great {insert your own required Diana polka dot comparison here}, but the warm fuzzies were better.

I do love any occasion that lets the headline writers run wild.

UPDATE: The baby's name is George Alexander Louis. Anybody guess right? (I certainly didn't!)

Best in Other Cute Things

The A-Team, ESTELLE, and Puppies

Left to right: the Dutch royal family poses for their annual family photoshoot, Crown Princess Victoria and Princess Estelle meet scholarship winners, and the Norwegian crown princely family pose with their new puppies

Too. Much. Cute. This should hold us over for a while (it won't, though, because we're not reasonable like that).

Compared to all that, the rest of the week was kinda boring. Haakon tried to liven things up by parachuting into his 40th birthday music festival (because who just has a plain old party, come on).

This party caused a bit of a stir, I guess. First, there was fuss over increased police cost, then it emerged that the guests had been asked to contribute to the costs of the party. All this with a background of fuss over Mette-Marit accepting designer clothes and such for free. But on it went. Click here for a long video, and here for a picture gallery. There were some other royals there too.

Best of the Rest
Princess Letizia, Princess Mathilde, Crown Princess Mary

Princess Letizia attending a naval graduation and audiences; Princess Mathilde (this all happened pre-abdication, pre-Queen Mathilde) at a luncheon and other engagements

Here's a highlight of the rest, the actual business sort of events. But frankly, as far as this post is concerned, if you can't give me at least a puppy you get a meh.

Video: Crown Princess Mary and Crown Prince Frederik attend a ballet

I suppose Mary and Frederik are my favorites. Fred, really. You gotta respect a man whose sartorial dictionary doesn't include the word blergh.

Who's your favorite?

Weekly Royal Fashion Awards: January 6-12

Things were still pretty slow last week in royal land. Nevertheless…

Best in Distractions

The Duchess of Cambridge

Hey! We finally figured out what it takes to shift the general conversation away from clothes and babies - if only for a mere second - and all it took was one questionable portrait. The more you know.

Best in…

Princess Letizia

At audiences.

Uh...hair? Sure, let’s go with hair.

Best in Questionable

Princess Mathilde

Attending a New Year reception

You know, the more I look at this one, the less I like the little jacket. She's trying to take the dress down a notch, and I don't think it's working so well.

And an Honorable Mention to...

Princess Charlene

This is both lovely on her and informative, because she wore white. Privilège du blanc – the privilege for a lady to wear white when in an audience with the Pope – hasn't been associated with Monaco in the past (Princess Grace wore black, as most ladies are expected to do). The Vatican confirmed this was the appropriate dress, so this is no faux pas. Innnnteresting.

Who caught your eye last week?

Royal Trip Report: The Belgians in Turkey

Last week, before scooting over to Luxembourg for the big royal wedding, Philippe and Mathilde visited Turkey on an economic mission for Belgium. And there was some fabulousness, and some averageness, and some orangeness.

Day 1 arrival; Day 2

Orangeness. I really think if she went a week without wearing orange, I wouldn’t recognize her. (Can you tell it’s just not my favorite color? But it seems to be hers, so fair enough.) Note Phillipe’s tie: the couple that matches together stays together, apparently.

Day 4, in Dries Van Noten

Averageness. This is a totally typical Mathilde silhouette, but with an un-typical print. Innnnteresting…and just a touch psychedelic, like if you look too long you’ll be sucked through the vortex. We should move on, just in case.

A concert on Day 3; more events on Day 2 in Zara

Fabulousness. First, the purple. It’s PURPLE, do I need to expound? I do not. And then the white, which might just be my favorite Mathilde outfit of the year. I love her in pure white, and I’m loving the shaping. I gather she received the necklace as a gift while there, but it works perfectly too. Jumpy claps!

Week in Review: Princess Mathilde, 10-16 June

1. Day 1 of her visit to Japan alongside her husband, Prince Philippe, 10 June.
2. Day 2, 11 June, and I love this dress. The gray and the pop of yellow, picked up (for once) in only one accessory: A+.
3. a) Day 3, 12 June, in b) Dries van Noten.
4. Evening of day 3, 12 June. Her curtsey in those shoes makes me seriously nervous.
5. Day 4, 13 June, and the clothes have descended into the wrinkled abyss. Happens on my vacations too, dear.

Week in Review: Princess Mathilde, 11-17 March

1. Arriving in Vietnam for an economic mission with Prince Philippe, 11 March. I feel like if I look at this one too long, I might get pulled through the rabbit hole. That is a whole lot o' stripes, my friend.
2. Still on Day 1 of the visit, 11 March. Oh, much better. Fresh and lovely in Dries van Noten.
3. Day 2, 12 March.
4. Evening of day 2 at an official government dinner, 12 March.

5. Day 3, 13 March.
6. An official reception on day 3, 13 March. Gorgeous color!
7. Day 4, 14 March.
8. Speaking to the press about the Belgian bus crash tragedy, 14 March.

9. Arriving in Ho Chi Minh City, 15 March.
10. Day 5, 15 March. Clearly we have a shawl theme going on here.
11. Official banquet, 15 March.
12. Final reception on day 6, 16 March. Stripes are definitely better in moderation.

2011 in Review: Princess Mathilde

Best of the Year

Oh, help. As much as I harp and harp about color, the truth is that few things can make me go as weak as a simply perfect white dress. And Mathilde, at Princess Maxima's 40th birthday concert, got it exactly right. Stunning, end of story.

Runners Up

Visions in white aside, the best thing about Mathilde's style is that she's not afraid of color. Hot pink, orange (times 2), red leather, even leopard all make my list of favorite 2011 looks out of Belgium. And just because I'm a sucker for anything with even a teensy hint of retro, one all black ensemble sneaks in.

Worst of the Year

If color is the best thing about Mathilde's sartorial m.o., the worst thing is that she sometimes seems to lose her sense of what works for her. She struggles with fit, and where exactly the waist should be stuck. This outfit hits both of those problem areas, while adding a third: it's just not the kind of thing she can pull off. She did something I wish she'd do more of, which is explore non-Natan Belgian designers (this is Dries Van Noten), but she picked something that simply must be worn with a certain runway nonchalance. But on Mathilde, with her earnest and sweet persona, it's just a pair of too-big too-short trousers and a baggy shirt.

Which outfits make your best and worst lists for Mathilde in 2011?

Week in Review: Princess Mathilde, 8-14 May

Here's what Mathilde wore from 8-14 May:

1. Attending a gala for the King Baudouin Foundation, 10 May, a) on Mathilde, and b) from Dries Van Noten. Well, okay...should we: 1) dispare once again the length of her clothes or 2) be thankful she knew she couldn't pull off the genie in a bottle look? I'll pick 3) just be happy she went with a Belgian designer that is NOT Natan, and shut up about the rest of it.
2. Handing out the 2011 Princess Mathilde Prize, 12 May. I think we've got the beginnings of an orange shoe rut on our hands, friends. I mean, I didn't think such a thing was possible, but here it is. First, she repeats the shoes she wore for the pre-wedding reception in London (and note the other orange shoes on display that week as well), and then she repeats a pair of orange pumps we saw just last week. Oh, she's just breaking ground left and right this week, eh?
