Classy and Poised. Queen Mathilde of Belgium's Fashion During The State Visit to Lithuania

Her Majesty, Queen Mathilde of Belgium is one of the most underrated fashionista royals in Europe. Fashion editors of magazines rarely mentioned her style, but she's one of the most classy, elegant, and poised royal women in Europe.

Although she's a veteran working royal and married ahead of other royal spouses, Queen Mathilde is the youngest Queen consort in Europe today. And at 49, she's younger than the other royal women who are often hailed as the most stylish royals in Europe: Queen Maxima (50), Queen Letizia (50), and Crown Princess Mary of Denmark (50).

Queen Mathilde's aristocratic ancestry

Queen Mathilde is the only wife of a European royal today from the reigning royal houses, apart from Princess Stephanie of Luxembourg, who is a titled aristocrat. She was born Baroness Mathilde on January 20, 1973.

She is the daughter of a Belgian nobleman, Baron Patrick d'Udekem d'Acoz, and Countess Anna Marie Komorowska, daughter of a Polish nobleman, Count Leon Michal Komorowski, and Princess Zofia  Sapieha. The Komorowski belongs to the Polish aristocracy while Princess Zofia Sapieha came from the Kodeńscy line of the Sapieha family, an illustrious Polish princely family.

Following Baroness Mathilde's marriage to Prince Philippe, the Duke of Brabant on December 4, 1999, King Albert II of Belgium elevated the status of Baron Patrick d'Udekem d'Acoz to Count, which has an equivalent rank to a British Earl. 

Underrated Fashionista

Queen Mathilde's style is so underrated but she has one of the most classy choices of fashion and wardrobe. We love her elegance, poise, sophistication, and formality. She has a distinct aura of refinement, culture, and professionalism, And her outfits are always remarkable and appropriate for the occasion.

The Wolfers Tiara

During the state dinner hosted by President Nauseda and his wife, Diana, for the visiting Belgian royals, Queen Mathilde wore the Wolfers Tiara, which she rarely donned. It's a precious tiara as it originally belonged to Queen Fabiola, the wife of King Baudouin.

The Wolfers tiara was a wedding gift to then Donna Fabiola and Prince Baudouin, the couple's marriage was childless, and following the death of the king in 1993, he was succeeded by his younger brother, Albert II. The tiara got its name from the company that created it, the Wolfers jewelers in Belgium.

Queen Fabiola, who was born a Spanish aristocrat, died in 2014, and most of her possessions were donated to charities, however, the Wolfers tiara was kept and passed down to Queen Mathilde.
