President Tharman Shanmugaratnam and First Lady Jane Yumiko Ittogi are on an official three-day visit to Belgium. Traditionally, a state banquet was held on the first evening of their visit at the Castle of Laeken. After dazzling in a total pink look during the day, Queen Mathilde captured everyone’s attention in the evening with her stunning cream-colored gown.<\/p>\n
The gown, a creation by designer Pierre Gauthier, was previously worn by her in 2016 in the Netherlands. This long-sleeved dress featured a semi-transparent bodice adorned with embroidery that strikingly contrasted with her grand purple sash of the Order of Leopold, the royal color. A glittery clutch perfectly completed her gala outfit.<\/p>\n

As for her jewelry, Queen Mathilde made a bold choice. While she typically wears the Nine Provinces Tiara, a symbol of Belgian queens, the blonde opted this time for a personal jewel. The mother of four wore a laurel wreath tiara from her own collection, a piece that was given to her at her wedding to Philippe (then Prince) in 1999.<\/p>\n
To round off her ensemble, Mathilde d’Udekem d’Acoz chose exquisite pendant earrings in the shape of bows, adorned with a cascade of diamonds. At 52, the former speech therapist was the epitome of elegance, representing Belgium with grace.<\/p>\n\n\n
