| Queen Maxima is in Washington DC to attend the Spring Meetings of the International Monetary Fund and the World Bank Group in her capacity as the UN Secretary-General’s Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development. Queen Maxima also held meetings with government representatives and the governors of central banks on progress in the area of inclusive financing in their countries. Today, the Queen attended the event, ‘Mission Billion: Transforming Countries and Empowering People Through Digital Identity’. (The Queen wore a contrast stitch cady dress by Dolce & Gabbana.) |
DOLCE & GABBANA Contrast Stitch Cady Dress
A lovely business style dress, very appropriate to the occasion and Maxima wears it well.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad that beside being a Queen and attending to all the nationalistic duties that come with that role, that she is still able to participate in other global issues that are associated/related with her career and interests before she became queen. It is a perfect match to bring her profile to highlight important issues affecting the world, and also to be a role model to other women and young girls particularly in developing countries who might desire a business career. Rania and Mary also do this very well.

Completely agree. Letizia, Victoria, Mette, they’re all cool too.
DeleteWhat about Catherine and Megan??
Totally agree. She and Mary are very good role models. I think they are kind of royals we need in modern world. Royals who just want to look colourful and say as little as possible are so over.
DeleteWell, Maxima is sure a busy lady. This D&G dress looks stunning. It is simple but classic.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress and isn't it great that as well as being Queen, Maxima is able to go and speak in her own right at IMF and similar meetings. A real inspiration for young girls to see her involved in something so important and with so much potential impact.
ReplyDeleteAl vestido le falta unas pulgadas extras para que quede a su medida.
ReplyDeleteYes, I agree. There is not much to distract the eye from that detail.
DeleteI agree with all the comments made previous to mine about her work ethic and her example to young women and girls. BUT, as beautiful as this dress ifs, it no longer fits her. I can see the outline of all her underwear and all the little bulges that we get. I could care less about a few wrinkles in the dress or the face for that matter but she has a choice about the size of the dress or perhaps the undergarments.
ReplyDeleteMaxima is one of my favorites and I hate to see her going from the diplomatic gala a couple of days ago to this. And the hair.....
I noticed the same thing about the fit. I am thrilled that she is wearing a simple dress, and even better, that it is not Natan. Sadly, it is too tight. Spanx might have saved the day, but she really should have invested in a new but similar dress that fit her. She is so much better off in classic sillouettes.
DeleteI agree recycling clothes fine if still fitting.
DeleteI also appreciate that she is able to keep her business skills.
But I don't understand the last sentence and the link with the diplomatic gala dinner. Do you mean that she is overworking?
Sorry I was not clearer. I was comparing only how she looked at the 2 events. Although the nature of the 2 events are totally different she was almost flawless at the gala and almost a mess at this meeting. I’m sure she might be jet lagged, busy, etc., but I am only looking at photos and judging from them.
DeleteThe hair is not so bad here, is it?
DeleteAgree with you Hero. The dress is too tight. The hair is her usual unhealthy messy style.
DeleteLe résultat n’est pas très soigné !
DeleteI agree with Coralie, the hair here is not so bad; she adopted a very sharp layering or thinning of her hair, a quite modern style. That is her choice, so I disagree with comments referring to unhealthy hair.
DeleteThe red color is good for Maxima, but I do agree with the comments on the ill-fitting of this dress and the comments regarding her hair looking unhealthy. The ends are very split and that is not healthy looking.
DeleteShe looks very business like and genuinely dress. A red dress always works, no exception here.
ReplyDeleteEsta claro que cuando lo compro y extreno la primera vez estaba más delgada. A veces nos cuesta reconocerlo.
ReplyDeleteLeuke foto's!
ReplyDeleteVestido bonito, pero el ajuste es horrible. La ropa interior es inadecuada y se notan michelines por todas partes.
ReplyDeleteLos méritos de trabajo no pueden ocultar que aquí venimos a hablar de moda.
¿Por qué siempre tiene que ir tan apretada que se le nota toda la ropa interior? Por cierto, estas actividades no tienen nada que ver con Holanda y en nada benefician... y esto es el 40 por ciento o más de sus actividades. No lo entiendo. Mientras el rey no está o está desaparecido salvo dos otres días al año. Una monarquía realmente rara.
ReplyDeleteVestido reciclado y bonito pero ya no le queda como la primera vez. Demasiado ajustado.
