Setting off to South Africa This is such a great look for Mathilde that I wish she would have saved it for touchdown rather than takeoff! |

I'm not the biggest fan of the dress but she always looks appropriate. Til's hair and makeup are lovely |

I'm not the biggest fan of the dress but she always looks appropriate. Til's hair and makeup are lovely The dress is too tight and looks like a figure skater costume. But what bothers me more is that Til is overdressed once again (state visit to Greece). The dress code was clearly business suit and cocktail dress, but Madame didn't care and showed up in a long gala frock and jewels in her hair. |

That's all true. when the first photo loaded, I thought the dress was tea lenght, so to be fair, that would have turned it into a ice skater dress even more.
Not sure what the hand gesture in the last picture was about. Looked a tad asian to me...

Apparently the state dinner was scaled down and moved to the president's residence at the president's decision which might explain why Til looks overdressed for the occasion... Today, Til visited a childcare centre in Soweto while Phil attended a business networking event for the gem and mining industries  The pair then visited the Hector Pieterson Museum. Hector was a 12 year old school boy who was shot dead by police in the Soweto Uprising in June 1976    |
