The Belgian queen’s show-stopping accessory was her impressive Nine Provinces Tiara. Mathilde’s honey blonde locks were pulled back in a side part and styled into a low braided and twisted chignon, the season’s hottest hair trend. Her flawless make-up consisted of black eyeliner, mascara, pink blush and a slick of red lipgloss. She also wore her royal sash.

Mathilde’s tiara was originally made with arches of diamonds on top of the base, but she usually wears just the bandeau. She wore the full version with arches for the first time at Queen Margrethe’s 75th birthday celebrations in 2015.

The Jordanian queen, Rania was also dressed to the nines in a monochrome outfit. The 45-year-old wore a white top that featured round neck and flared sleeves with a beaded black full-length skirt.

The mother-of-four accessorized with oversize diamond drop earrings, a bracelet and a dainty headpiece. The tiara by tiara by Boucheron can also be worn as a bracelet.
