On November 23, Queen Maxima presented the Prince Bernhard Culture Fund Prize 2020 to ISH Dance Collective. Every year, the Prince Bernhard Culture Fund (Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds) rewards persons or organizations that have made great contributions in fields of culture, nature or science in the Netherlands.
ISH Dance Collective has been creating multidisciplinary performances and education programs for more than twenty years. In this way, the organization connects various groups with each other. The Cultuurfonds awarded the prize to ISH Dance Collective for their innovation in the performing arts by combining art forms in a unique way and making society more beautiful. The prize has an amount of 150,000 euros. Queen Maxima wore a new ribbon skirt from Lena Hoschek.

I bet Maxima is used to reading the comments about her hair on this site.
ReplyDeleteAre split ends over?
Has she finally found a good hairstylist?
Do hope so.
Fashion wise, ok for the upper part and shoes, but her skirt is awful.
It looks like a blanket or a carpet pattern and too much fabric does not help either.
I thought the same thing regarding the skirt. It reminds me of my great-grandmothers quilt. Maybe I would drape it over a sofa or chair, but I certainly would never wear it.

You forgot about the horrible earrings.
DeleteI really was surprised to find myself liking the skirt, because I tend to hate garments with bold horizontal stripes. I think what makes it work for me is that the stripes are of varied widths, and largely in colors that harmonize well with Maxima’s blouse, shoes, purse, and even her blonde hair.
DeleteThe earrings are soigné!
Delete@ Renee
DeleteYes, you are right.
Anyway, Maxima' s smile is so nice and her work so well done that I'm trying to forget even her worst outfits and her bad hair days!
She looks quite good here! An updo and understated gold earrings would have been nice for a daytime award ceremony, but overall I think Maxima’s look is very attractive and put-together.
ReplyDeleteBeaucoup d'élégance chez Maxima avec cette jupe aux bandes horizontales colorées mais je trouve que son corsage est trop fade ; dans une couleur Bordeaux, elle aurait eu plus d'allure tout en gardant ses beaux escarpins - Superbes ses boucles d'oreilles ; avec sa coiffure légèrement modifiée, c'est parfait !

ReplyDeleteVery nice look for Queen Maxima.
ReplyDeleteNot too bad, although the blouse is a bit too voluminous for this skirt. And always the shiny pantyhose and the horrible hair, but I have seen worse.

What do you find horrible about the hair?
DeleteThe mask is plain and does not quite work with the outfit, even though it has shades from the skirt. Everything coordinates except the earrings and the horrible hair. The blouse is rather baggy, a more fitted top would have worked better to showcase the skirt.
ReplyDeleteThe blouse gives her outfit a Bohemian vibe. Something more structured would have probably have suited her better. The cut of the skirt is very good on her. She does not have the figure for fitted skirts anymore. An a-line gives her a waist, and we see her nice legs. The skirt disguises any figure flaws. She should be able to pull out a lot of colors from the skirt going forward, so new blouses and shoes will give her many new outfits. I do wish she would banish those shiny pantyhose. If she feels the need to wear stockings, we should not be able to detect them.
ReplyDeleteFor Maxima I change my standards, so, for her not bad.
ReplyDeleteAs often said here: or a wide top, or a wide skirt, but not both so much volume.
Why do we all know this and she nót??
Máxima doesn’t look her best with voluminous outfits, this could have worked somehow if one of the pieces was tailored , this way it looks ballooned and unflattering. She continues to choose these mustard colors that don’t do her any favors, but if she loves it, it could easily be done without wearing the entire Pantone of the color. I don’t dislike the pieces separately but they aren’t well combined and the whole ensamble looks overdone and inelegant.

I find the color of the blouse to be unflattering with the Queen's skin and hair color, but her 1000-watt smile and intelligence always trumps her wardrobe choices--good or bad.
ReplyDeleteQuite good and stylish look. She is doing better.
ReplyDeleteI think as anon11:26. She went for a bohemian style, ok, then it can be fully so. The earrings are however too big. She may just have had a slight hair cut, still in her style. I think that criticism about the stockings are exaggerated. Overall I like it.
DeleteMaxima carries this outfit rather well. Whereas horizontal stripes below the waist might broaden most, here she diffuses it with her tall height and bold stature. The skirt flares nicely and the earth tones suit her well. The blouse also has nice soft flows and the slight sheen adds a bit of subdued glam. I think she looks fine.

Really like the skirt. Do not like the blouse with it. Its Natan of course, wish she would stop buying from him. Overall, its an improvement from last week.
ReplyDeleteI think this is lovely. The colours work beautifully together, and both the skirt and blouse are well-fitting and interesting. I particularly like the folkloric feel of the swirly skirt. Q. Max has the stature to carry this off well. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteI agree, the whole fits well together.
DeleteThe ensemble on the model is quite nice. ~Laurel~
ReplyDeleteAt a height of 5’10” and a size 6, Queen Máxima can get away with wearing horizontal stripes!
ReplyDeleteThis blouse is horrible, I can't figure out if it is just too big or it is just gathered and bunched up poorly. At least the skirt looks like it fits better, not my favorite print however. Just all around not a good look. Ugh.
ReplyDeleteChel
Suddenly realised that Maxima has beautiful eyes! (I am referring to 3rd pic)
ReplyDeleteLove the skirt and blouse seperately. Together it makes Máxima pompous. Gorgeous earrings.
ReplyDeleteSurprised that I actually quite like this outfit. Like Jane Chantal I generally do not like horizontal stripes, even ion the slimmest wearer but this works for me with the plain blouse. Shoes are fab.
