King Willem-Alexander, Queen Maxima, Princess Beatrix and Princess Margriet of The Netherlands attended the New Years reception 2017 at the Royal palace on January 17, 2017 in Amsterdam, The Netherlands. Teachers of primary and secondary education were specially invited this year. |
It's nice to see them again!
ReplyDeleteI like Maxima's hair style and her outfit in general but her skirt seems extremely creased. I assume it isn't meant to look like that. The mustard colour (not my favourite but apparently one of hers) is interesting with navy blue.
I wonder what's in the red bag!
My first reaction also was that the skirt is very creased, which happens when you sit, so maybe the photos were taken on their way out, after they had sat. I wonder why HE is holding that red bag?
DeleteBut how long were they sitting? I've been on 10+ hour flights and looked a bit less rumpled than that!
DeleteShe is holding a clutch lizzie. Wonder if the red bag is like a laptop kind of case?
Delete@ Heather, sometimes look of creased cloth whether it is skirt or dress or pants is very chic.
Delete@Diane & @Lizzie maybe the red bag is like E-II's big red box of correspondence. (Shhh-I've been binge watching The Crown on Netflix)
DeleteWhy should HE NOT hold the bag, they are a no nonsense couple and it's 2017! They are entering the palace and they change clothes there for the reception.
ReplyDeleteI thought they were going to a reception. Were they coming back from somewhere else when the photo was taken? Bit confusing.
DeleteNow I want to see what they wore to the reception!
I think the photo was taken just after some kind of meeting .
ReplyDeleteQueen Maxima wore that outfit before .
Yes, you are right. I like it because it is so Maxima!
DeleteThey gave a New Year reception at the Palace in Amsterdam, so they are entering the palece from a side door. Inside they change clothes. The receptions is for all foreign diplomats in The Netherlands.
ReplyDeleteAnd this year teachers are invited also. Every year it's another group.
ReplyDelete@Noon en Len Thanks for the info! I watch the fashion but I like to know the back story as they are performing important roles as servants to their countrymen.
DeleteMustard and trumpet sleaves - two nightmares joined in one blouse.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right Romana.
DeleteMustard color is good for the mustard only.
Oh I don't know ladies ....mustard looks good on ....HAM. SAUSAGES. HOT PRETZELS 😂😂
DeleteI couldn't even imagine how good hot pretzel can taste with mustard until.... I tasted in New York.
