Royal Style Twin of the Day: February 26

Look at this trouper, visiting EU institutions in Brussels yesterday:

An injured knee (apparently suffered during the family's recent ski vacation) can't keep Queen Mathilde down, and it certainly can't keep her from playing the Natan style twin game. She's giving us flashbacks to Máxima's ensemble from last week, and I think she's coming out on top, because 1) she's restricted her orange accessories to a small pair of earrings, and 2) those are some kicky little flats. I'm not usually a fan of her footwear, but in accommodating her injury, she's managed to up her game.

Since we're hanging out with Mathilde, here's an audience she held earlier in the week (before things got tricky with her knee, I guess):

Royal Accessories of the Day: February 19

Another day, another chat about Máxima's accessories.

The King and Queen visited the provinces of Groningen and Drenthe this week.
My love for a colored accessory is clear, but look at Máx go, pushing my affection to the brink: orange top, orange shoes, orange earrings, orange purse, orange gloves. Orange.Gloves. Single-handedly keeping the colored glove industry in business, this one.

Queen Máxima visited some Oranje Fonds projects last week.
And then we had this. A perfectly lovely, professional gray dress (from a Dutch brand, LaDress, per ModeKoninginMaxima)...with giant spider brooches crawling all over it.


The brooches are from Argentine jeweler Celedonio, and are very skillfully crafted to be sure. But a little too skillfully crafted for me, you know what I mean?

Royal Outfits of the Day: February 3

Crown Princess Mary's been out and about lately for Copenhagen Fashion Week. This is a regular event on her calendar, and it's always interesting to see what she wears because you can tell she's putting a little more effort into her version of cutting edge. (Which is still a very tame version of cutting edge in the overall scheme of things, mind you.)

She also makes a big show of Danish fashion this week, for obvious reasons. This Baum und Pferdgarden coat looks like a wearable blanket, and I approve of this, probably because I'm freezing right now.

For the Ole Yde fashion show, she wore - wait for it - Ole Yde, with some very expensive Georg Jensen accessories (the gentleman sitting next to her is apparently the CEO of that company, so there you go) and some showstopper shoes from Gianvito Rossi. And this is typical Mary fashion show gear, a pretty normal outfit on her scale, with something thrown in as a nod to the occasion. I like these, even though they give her a case of Barbie feet when seen head on.


And finally, the printed number on the end above, from Edith & Ella.

Worn with a tall boot selection that's a bit too heavy, but I'm willfully ignoring that because I love the necklace and dress pairing, so there.
