I especially like her grave, dignified expression in the photo above. And the hat is incredible! She often wore large hats. It was probably very fashionable but, I suppose, it also lent her extra height? Being a very petite woman, she must have needed to compensate...especially considering she had to look imposing (and balance her very tall husband) on official occasions.
A striking contrast, here, between the white dresses of Elisabeth and Marie-José and the black suits of Leopold and Charles.

Absolutely beautiful post:) She's so graceful.
She is momies girl isn't she. Daughters learn best by following maman.
Marie-José did take alot after her mother, both in style and in temperament. Both were capable of great love and devotion.
Beautiful!
