A good contingent of the Belgian Royal clan, including Mathilde, Philippe, Albert, Paola, Astrid, Lorenz, Claire, Elisabeth, Emmanuel, Louise, Gabriel, and Eleonore, attended the annual Christmas Concert at the Royal Palace. Mathilde is wearing a velvet Dries Van Noten with a striking floral pattern. Elisabeth might be the only person who could make me covet a velvet Diane Von Furstenberg jumpsuit.
Modekoning in Mathilde reports another incident of mother/daughter earring sharing. She also has more photos on her blog, where you can peruse the details of these are seriously good ensembles.
If I can see clear enough on the first pictures, Princess Elisabeth borrowed another pair of Queen Mathilde’s earrings, this time star shaped long earrings by Percossi Papi: pic.twitter.com/J8JeJWhpmy

Albert and Charlene hosted the annual children’s ceremony at the princely palace, aided by Louis Ducruet and Camille Gottlieb. The quartet distributed gifts to refugee children. I like Charlene’s knit coat (identified by The Royal Couturier as Peter Pilotto), which livens up the rather basic ensemble underneath.
Queen Maxima attended a recording of the Christmas Music Gala, which included performances by the largest school band in the Netherlands. I love Max in her sparkling Nina Ricci, always a win for her. The sequins are the icing on the Christmas cake.
What do you think of these Christmas ensembles? Do they channel the spirit of the season to you?
