Queen Mathilde always looks stylish on public engagements but it seems she took inspiration from close to home this week as she headed out in an outfit worn a month ago by a recognisable face.
The Belgian royal, 64, was spotted on Thursday as she accompanied her husband King Philippe to receive the heads of diplomatic missions accredited to Belgium and their spouses.

The Belgian royal accessorised the Natan combo with sheer tights, pointed-toe stilettos, and a pair of pearl drop earrings. Meanwhile, the wife of Grand Duke Henri dressed up her look with heeled boots.

Queen Mathilde's first look of the year

A festive look
Before Christmas, the royal was photographed with two of her children for the official Belgian royal Christmas card.
