On the morning of September 9, Wednesday, Queen Maxima attended the national Music Table Day, organized by the "Méér Muziek in de Klas" (The foundation More Music in the Classroom). During the meeting in the Theaterhangaar in Katwijk, various regional representatives talked about their experiences and successes gained related to ensuring sustainable music education in their region. Queen Maxima is honorary president of the Méér Muziek in de Klas foundation.
Natan Dress
PRADA Gold-tone and shell clip earrings
LK Bennett Sledge Patent Leather Platform Heel
I like the dress and shoes, and the re-wear.
ReplyDeleteOh ladies, just have a look at those two photos [2013/17]! Her hair neat and styled professional! Oh, what a sight! I almost can't scroll away, and go out off this blog! So good to see the "old" Maxima, with her hair, combed, and styled to the nines!
ReplyDeleteI think you see different pictures
DeleteIn the pictures I see it’s the same old story, in an oldfashioned dress and with a not really relaxed smile.
Royalty fan: The high-level events from 2013 & 2017 (and other such) might have garnered international attention, hence more attention to her hair. This current appearance was "at home" and dealing with kids (although she does look nice here). But yes, the condition of her hair from years of bleaching has deteriorated. ~Laurel~
DeleteJolie robe qui va à merveille à Maxima mais je préfère les chaussures qu'elle portait en 2017 bi-colores qui semblent plus élégantes que celles-ci à talon-plateforme ! Marrantes ses grosses boucles d'oreilles en forme de coquillages ; il n'y a qu'elle pour porter ce modèle original !
ReplyDeleteAnon 7:12 PM, yes I mean those 2 photo's, from 2013 & 2017. And Anon 7:38 PM, I guess we have to wait for the world to get back to normal, and the royal ladies can dress again, in all their fineries. And then see if Maxima, will have her hair trimmed, and styled, like in previous years
DeleteI like the styling in 2013/17 much more. The belt is not necessary. It is stopping the eye instead of creating a longer line. The platform shoes are dated and too heavy for this dress. I would have liked to have seen the shoes she wore in 2017 or similar. Sadly, she is back in her shiny stockings. Since she is tan right now, I wish she had just gone bare legged. The length is good on Maxima. The earrings are something I can't find the right words for. I don't know what she was thinking here. They are so big and don't compliment the dress.
ReplyDeleteFor me, continually complaining about her hair is pointless. It is not going to change anytime soon. We don't know the reason her hair is so damaged. It could be the result of a health issue. The only way for it to look good on her official engagements is to wear extensions for the time being, and that would just lead to more criticism from the readers here.
Yes you could be right , but there' s no reason why she should jeep her split ends!!
DeleteI suppose these LK Bennett shoes are the same as the ones Kate used to wear some time ago in the nude colour.
Delete@Unknown 8:509: 'You don't know if her hair has split ends. For God's sake stop demeaning her for her hair.

DeleteDress, cardi and shoes are nice, earrings are extremely over the top but she can pull it off.
ReplyDeleteThe dress is really nice on her. Good pattern and length. Black patent leather shoes I am not so sure of. The model is too heavy in relation to the dress.The ones in 2017 were more suitable. No to the earrings.
ReplyDeleteLove the dress, think scarf is unnecessary. It seems that Máxima cannot resist a statement piece, yesterday it was a hideous belt and today, its huge earrings. Wonder what we’ll get next week at Prinjesdag, a massive hat?
ReplyDeleteLove the earrings, love the dress! LadyM
ReplyDeleteThe earrings are fun, typical Queen Maxima :) !!!
ReplyDeleteThese earrings may be from Prada, but the model looks extremely unhappy to wear them
ReplyDeleteAnon@ 8:10 you took the words out of my mouth. This dress is OK, although the very pronounced flare of the skirt is not the most flattering for her, and the belt instead of defining the waist just cuts the figure in half and gets lost on such amount of fabric. The shiny hose and platform shoes are unattractive. All in all she doesn’t look terrible, but with a few changes show would have looked great.
ReplyDelete@Laurel, I totally disagree with the statement about being busy with the kids and therefore not paying attention to her hair, this woman lives in a palace has a yacht and has a very substantial staff . One of her outfits, cost more than what a hairdresser makes in a month, she herself could very well manage a soft ponytail with a little spray and voila!! It’s her choice not to take care of her hair, and I for one respect that and there is no need to find excuses for her priorities. Not a big deal, but since this is a fashion blog, we tend to talk about fashion choices.
Well said!
DeleteAm I the only person who thinks the way she is wearing that cardigan is ridiculous?
ReplyDeletePut your arms inside the sleeves, woman! Or if you must wear it like a cape, unbutton it!
I agree that it should be unbuttoned. It does not match the dress, either.
DeleteWhy ridiculous? Many European women wear this way cardigans and I do too!
DeleteNice dress, really like it.
ReplyDeleteBelt: good.
Scarf: bad.
Earrings: hideous.
Shoes: had been better in navy. Black´s too heavy.
And a cardigan is not a cape.
Anon 12 19, you are not alone. I can understand the cardigan draped over the shoulders, if the temperature is cool but not cold but once you button it, it looks ridiculous as you say. I think the dress is both smart and flattering but agree that the scarf is unnecessary. Generally like big earrings but these are just a bit over the top.
ReplyDeleteThis is a lovely dress and the Queen wears it well. The colour and pattern is perfect, I love the length of this dress.

ReplyDeleteSplit ends are most visibile in lots of pics, not only in this post.
I' m not inventing anything.
Please, let everybody have their own views on the base of the pics proposed.
Thank you.
I think I am going a bit crazy I actually am beginning to like her hair like this. I think her summer sunny holiday has actually improved what its condition looks like. When I look at the older photos in this dress I prefer her present hair. Maybe I too have been in this country too long. Unkempt hair appeals now.
ReplyDeleteHair should not be "perfect". The days of a sprayed helmet of hair are long gone. It should be perfectly imperfect.
