Queen Mathilde wore a multi-colored print dress for the occasion, while the Duchess of Brabant, who is heiress to the throne, wore a vibrant fuchsia dress that echoed the color of the Order of Leopold. (Learn more about the order over here; July 21 is the day that King Leopold I swore allegiance to the Belgian constitution, becoming the nation’s first monarch.)
