Queen Mathilde’s Style On Her Second Day in Vietnam

On the second day of their official trip to Vietnam, King Philippe and Queen Mathilde of Belgium continued their engagements with a stop in Hai Phong City—home to one of the most significant economic collaborations between Belgium and Vietnam.
The royal couple visited DEEP C Industrial Zones, a massive project backed by Belgian investors, which has become one of the largest industrial developments in the country.

The visit marked an important diplomatic milestone, as King Philippe and Queen Mathilde took part in the official inauguration of DEEP C’s newly built headquarters.
Standing alongside key stakeholders and local officials, the King and Queen underscored Belgium’s long-term commitment to supporting sustainable industrial growth in the region.

To fully appreciate the scale of the site, the royal couple later boarded a cable car, allowing them a panoramic view of the sprawling DEEP C complex, which stretches across Hai Phong and Quang Ninh provinces.
From above, the impact of the development was unmistakable—modern infrastructure nestled against the natural landscape, symbolizing a partnership between innovation and progress.

But beyond the diplomatic and economic significance of the day, it was Queen Mathilde’s ensemble that captured attention.
Known for her polished yet expressive fashion choices, the Queen once again proved that royal style.
She wore a striking Carolina Herrera print duchesse midi halter dress, featuring a bold mix of color and classic silhouette.

Draped over her shoulders was a vibrant fuchsia knit bolero by Natan, which added a pop of energy to the look.
To complete the outfit, she chose Giorgio Armani high heel pumps with scalloped details in matching fuchsia, a perfect complement to her cardigan.

Accessories were kept refined and elegant. A pair of Gucci GG0631S sunglasses framed her face stylishly, while a Rolex Datejust watch in silver and gold with a diamond dial added a subtle touch of luxury.
She finished the look with a headpiece by Fabienne Delvigne, offering a modern nod to traditional royal headwear.
