\n\tThe Belgian queen consort wore the British designer\u2019s Electra gown, crafted in a bold sapphire tone with shimmering embellishments on the bodice and sleeves. The gown was designed with a sleek silhouette, accentuated by crystal designs cascading across the waistline and bell-shaped sleeves. <\/p>\n

\n\tA bateau neckline and three-quarter length sleeves added an element of architectural embrace, with a floor-length skirt that elongated the formal finish. The gown, retailing for $4,185, merged minimalism with luxury details.<\/p>\n

\n\tQueen Mathilde further augmented her attire with a pair of pointed-toe pumps by Dior<\/a> and a small bag by the French luxury fashion house. She went minimal with jewelry, save for a pair of dangling delicate earrings.<\/p>\n

\n\tThis isn\u2019t the first time the Belgian royal has turned to Jenny Packham<\/a> for a formal look. At the same event in May 2024,<\/a> Queen Mathilde wore a ruby gown by the British luxury designer. The dress featured Packham\u2019s signature sparkling embellishments and was paired with a set of pointed-toe heels in the same color scheme to accentuate the monochrome approach to the look.<\/p>\n

\n\tJenny Packham has long been a favorite designer of Kate Middleton. The Princess of Wales regularly wears gowns by the designer, dating as far back as June 2011 when she attended the ARK 10th Anniversary Gala Dinner \u2014 among her first engagements as an official member of the British royal family following her April 2011 marriage to Prince William. <\/p>\n

\n\tMiddleton capped off her 2025 royal duties in a shimmering gown gown by the British designer for the December state banquet<\/a>\u00a0honoring German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife Elke Budenbender. The Princess of Wales\u2019 dress featured a subtle ombr\u00e9 color motif, transitioning the Berlin blue shade from lighter to darker tones.<\/p>\n
