These days many fashion lovers go out of their way to avoid careful colour coordination for fear of appearing too 'matchy matchy'.

But Queen Mathilde of Belgium - who stepped out in top to toe grey in Brussels today - is proof that sticking to a single shade is no bad thing.

The 44-year-old mother of four, who was attending a mass to commemorate the deceased members of the Belgian royal family, looked dazzling in a striped grey coat with matching hat, gloves and heels.

The Belgian Queen was quickly surrounded by excited schoolchildren gathered outside

Queen Mathilde, who was joined by her husband King Philippe, accessorised with a statement brooch, a gold watch, and a pair of pearl drop earrings.

The monarch stopped to chat to excited children gathered outside the Church of our Lady ahead of the service.

Mathilde smiled for the camera as the schoolchildren huddled around her for a photograph, and stopped to chat to one young boy before making her way up the steps of the church for the service.

The King and Queen were also photographed inside the church, where they appeared solemn during the mass to commemorate members of the Belgian royal family who have passed away.
