Ich finde, es ist ein schönes Outfit. Nur wo ist ihr Hut? ;-)
ReplyDelete-Elisabeth-
Ja, ja.
DeleteHat is not always needed for her isn’t it ?
Great look in spite of un-Maxima style.
Yes Q maxima this is a perfect hair style , bravo. The look is amazing .Love everything , she really looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteAh, this is at least better than last time ;-)
ReplyDeleteHappy Queen Maxima looks very beautiful as usual.
ReplyDeleteI think this may be another epic "miss" for Maxima -- it's a shame, because if the horizontal creases in the skirt extended down the whole length of the skirt, rather than just part-way down, they would look intentional rather than like very conspicuous wrinkles. The other unfortunate thing is that the semi-sheer trim around the bottom of the skirt makes the skirt look like a half-slip. (A weird half-slip, but still a half-slip.) If not for these problems, the dress could be quite elegant, imo. Wrt the dispirited-looking cardigan, I can only guess that the day was colder than it looks and someone lent this garment to Maxima. I like that it matches the handbag, though.
ReplyDeleteExactly my thoughts, Jane Chantal. Pity indeed.
DeleteYay, she can tame her hair when she wants to. So much better!
ReplyDeleteDon’t like this as much as her more recent outfits. It’s too short, looks quite tight around the middle, though that could be the design of the dress and the formality of lace sits strangely with the fawn cardigan. Not a winner for me.
ReplyDeleteI love the color of the dress; just not the fabric. In my opinion, lace dresses are inappropriate for day time business meetings. Her hair looked very nice, and her earrings are dazzling.
ReplyDeleteA lot of tall people, and Maxima isn’t exactly short either. :-) The dull blue really isn’t her colour, but her smile saves the day every time.
ReplyDeleteThey are really tall. Why are Dutch people so tall and cool ?
DeleteWow, am I cool? Thanks for the compliment! 😁😉
Delete(Yup, I'm Dutch)
I like the combination of colors and the hair piece. That is all I like. This dress is another mistake for me. The rouching detail around the waist and upper hips does not look good. That is the last place a woman want to add any extra fabric or draw attention, yet she is emphasizing it--again. I can't stop wondering who is advising her. I hope she will continue using hair pieces to try and give her hair time to grow out to a healthy state. I also wish she would try more simple styling, such as basic sheath dresses. Her love of bold jewelry would be better suited to them.
ReplyDeleteEverything on point again, chardonn8r. Agree!
Deleteelle est bien ; infatigable Maxima
ReplyDeleteHow about the house behind them... interesting! Would love to see something besides stiletto heels for our working Queens.
ReplyDeleteBlau mit Beige ist eine altbewährte Kombination. Ein Etuikleid aus Leinen mit dieser Jacke würde mir besser gefallen. Für Queen Maxima wäre das aber wahrscheinlich viel zu langweilig. Ansonsten finde ich, sie sieht klasse aus. Die Haare, das Make-up und die Accessoires harmonieren mit dem Ensemble.
ReplyDeleteNice dress without the cardigan. But her hair and smile are very lovely.
ReplyDeleteThe dress is too fussy for business/day use, and combined with the sweater, it just looks all wrong. Another fabric would have been better suited, not lace.
