Queen Mathilde's outfit was the epitome of a festive dream as she stepped out in a scarlet coat during her Christmas visit to the Porte Ouverte shelter in Brussels on Thursday.

The mother-of-four allowed her coat to take centre stage as she layered her bold look over a simple black, collared shirt and matching, tailored straight-leg trousers. Mathilde layered up for the cold as she donned a pair of sheer black tights beneath her trousers.

The Porte Ouverte association provides accommodation for women and their children who lost their homes due to struggles. The association works towards helping these women regain their livelihood and find a stable home.
It seems the Belgian queen has once more taken a note out of the Princess of Wales' festive fashion book with her choice of colour. Kate opted for a stunning red coat dress by Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen for her annual 'Together at Christmas carol service' earlier this month.

Mathilde previously channeled Prince William's wife in a ruby sequin gown by fashion designer Jenny Packham for the Queen Elisabeth International Music Competition of Belgium for Violin. The sparkly number matched a pink gown Kate donned years prior at a gala dinner at Kensington Palace.
The Belgium royals have been busy ushering in the festive seasons as they released their Christmas card last week. The portrait depicted the royal couple sitting on stools alongside their four children Princess Elisabeth, Prince Gabriel, Prince Emmanuel, and Princess Eleonore.
