State dinners are quite casual in France these days, with men in business attire and women in evening gowns without tiaras or decorations. For this dinner, Grand Duchess Maria Teresa wore a flowing dark green dress with metallic accessories.

She also wore the diamond and emerald choker necklace that belonged to Queen Astrid of Belgium, Grand Duke Henri’s Swedish-born grandmother. The necklace can also be worn as a bracelet or as a bandeau-style tiara.

She finished off the look with a very interesting piece of diamond and emerald jewelry: an evening watch that appears to have an emerald face.
