On December 4, 2020, Queen Maxima of The Netherlands paid a working visit to the Regional Work Center (RWC) at the head office of the UWV (Institute for Employee Insurance) in Amsterdam. The meeting focused on the role of the RWC in guiding people, who have become or are at risk of becoming unemployed due to the Covid-19 epidemic. In June, the RWC started supporting regional SMEs that have to lay off people due to the corona crisis.

I like this! Appropriate for the type of meeting and unfussy.
ReplyDeleteMe too , agree .
DeleteAgreed. Perfect for a meeting.
DeleteAnd if you look at the concentration on her face at the meeting, I think fashion is probably the last thing on her mind. Priority, priority with Queen Maxima. Bravo.
Ma la regina maxima si e tolta una scarpa mentre era seduta? Vedo bene? O sbaglio? Guardate anche voi!si vede che le facevano male i piedi...
ReplyDeleteNo. I was also wondering what she was doing with that shoe. I just copied and pasted the picture in a document then blew it up to huge size to see what is going on. Her foot is just bent under her chair and resting on the ball of her foot so her heel has just pulled up out of the shoe. I think her toes and the ball of her foot are still in it.
DeleteVedi benissimo! Non è troppo elegante ma si vede che le scarpe sono nuove o troppo alte...
DeleteSi, é una di noi! 😊
DeleteWhy is it that the first thing people assume is that heels are too high? Maxima is very accustomed to that height. She may be guilty of fidgeting. I have done that very thing myself. It may not look elegant, but it is also not consciously done.
DeleteDid you get to see the colour of her toe nail polish?
DeleteCould be a good subject to explore and to have a break from her hair :-))
@deadeggs An excellent idea for a new topic. We could use a change.
Delete@Deadeggs
DeleteAgree with you!
I'm looking at her wide dark and wondering if she is going back to her natural color in order to have healthier hair. She looks wonderful in blue
ReplyDeleteFor the anti hair ladies. Her natural hair is rather dark. The blond streaks/, /"coupe soleil"/ highlighting whatever you want to call it is always very badly done in large chunks . That's why it sometimes looks greasy or what some of you think is dirty which it is not. It is just the hazard of that type of streaking as it grows out.
DeleteWhy she can't find a good colourist with a subtle touch I don't know. Really top class hairdressers are few and far between in this country (at the risk of being murdered by my compatriots who don't agree) but a queen should be able to find one. Any product which bleaches hair does tend to dry it out and then it has a tendency to look like straw if large amounts of hair are bleached. Whoever her hair stylist is should be given a one way ticket to the desert island I wish the house of Natan should be sent.
I'm willing to sponsor the one way tickets for her hair stylist & the house of Natan.
DeleteNalerina: I agree with you completely. I've seen videos of her meetings and her hair never looks greasy on them, although it does on photos of the same meeting. Maybe she should see the same hairdresser Mathilde does, for once. She had an old-fashioned hairstyle years ago but she has a good hairstyle now.
DeleteI agree about Natan too (and I'm Belgian!). They made so many unflattering outfits for her and Mathilde recently. There are lots of talented designers in Holland. She could be great advertisement for Dutch fashion, every other royal does that for her country. I don't quite understand why she doesn't.
Fashion wise the blouse is a very nice colour on her. Hair and make-up are nice today. I'm not a fan of the skirt, a softer texture and print might have looked nicer. Love her earrings!
Please, cut your hair in a bob style, like Charlene and stop colouring it.............so than we can comment in positive way about other things......
ReplyDeleteYou are in complete control of the way you comment. If you want to see more positive comments, comment on the positive aspects of her appearance and ignore what is not going to change now, if ever.
DeleteSorry, do you accept that somebody tells you how to dress and have you hair style? maybe from a professional but I don't think that is what you are.
DeleteAnd often not even from a hairdresser, because he does not know how I feel and how I want to appear. Try to find out about the opinion of Dutch people. I am not saying I like everything about her, but I try at least to understand.

DeleteGet her hair cut in a bob style like Princess Charlene.
No, No, No.
Solid work outfit.
ReplyDeleteUnrelated but I don't understand the Dutch mask policy (if this is what I'm seeing). On multiple occasions I've seen Queen Maxima wear masks outdoors only to remove it indoors (and she is seated closer to others). It doesn't make sense to me.
I was wondering exactly the same - I find it really puzzling
DeleteI don't understand maxima's mask policy either and I am Dutch.
DeleteCette couleur bleu-pâle lui va à ravir - Je pense vraiment que chaque fois que sa/son coiffeur effectue un balayage de ces cheveux, cela apporte plus de tonicité, de volume à sa coiffure ; en effet, j'ai remarqué que ses cheveux étaient fins - Je ne pense pas qu'elle porte quelquefois des extensions - Lorsque j'étais plus jeune, chaque fois que mon coiffeur effectuait un balayage ou juste des mèches, ma coiffure changeait en beaucoup mieux mais juste pour un certain temps ! Donc c'était à renouveler assez souvent !
ReplyDeleteLike this blue grey colour combination and the blue blouse really suits her. The skirt is also a great length for her. Another good outfit for a working meeting
ReplyDeleteThe color of the blouse is lovely though it looks offset somehow. However, the hair mess makes the outfit not matter. People see her messy, stringy, dirty looking hair, and that is how they see her, along with makeup, jewlery, clothing. As much as you just want to see the person, the person is the sum of the whole, and with a head of hair such a mess, day after day, when the women is the Queen (married into the family/not by birth), shows her lack of respect for her position, her job, and sadly for herself. A good hair cut would make all the difference in the world! Eye makeup is over done for a day occasion, should be reserved for evening events.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous 11:45, her hair may be not well combed, but it surely is not dirty. That's a different thing, isn't it.
Delete@11:45 It makes me wonder if she lost her hair due to an illness or its treatment, would you still think she shows a lack of respect for her position, job and self? Does it make a difference that she is a consort, not royal blood? You emphasize that. It has never been in dispute that her hair is in very poor condition. The simple truth is that we don't know if there is something else contributing to its condition. It could be age or something a little more serious. It may be nothing more that overprocessing. We do know that it was not always like this. Maxima puts a great deal of effort into her appearance, though it may not result in a successful outfit. She is not topping off her appearances in dirty hair.
DeleteAgree the blue blouse is flattering, she looks good!
ReplyDeleteThe color of the blouse is beautiful on her, she got the lipstick color right for the outfit, and the earrings are dynamite! She really is a beautiful woman of presence.
ReplyDeleteI see a woman in her fifties who wants to wear her hair like she wore in her twenties. And it looks silly
DeleteWho knows the brand of her purse. I love it! Is it Ferragamo? Bottega Veneta?
ReplyDeleteYes its Bottega Veneta, The Lauren 1980 for a mere €1980 apparently. First seen in the film American Gigolo.
DeleteIt is Bottega Veneta!ne vorrei una anch'io!bellisima pochette in grigio!
ReplyDeleteThank you
DeleteThe baby blue really isn't her colour, warmer and brighter colours suit her better.
ReplyDelete-B.
The sleeve of the blouse is ill sewn on the shoulder area. In the photos you can see the lumpy area where it was not sewn right.
ReplyDeleteHair a disaster as usual, not appropriate for a Queen to look that messy. Fashion is about not only the clothing, but the entire presentation of the person. She used to have nice hair, kept it well styled, something seems amiss the last few years.
Lovely smile and earrings are nice for a change.
I think the 3 first pictures of this article and particularly the first are very good pictures of Maxima, showing her as she really is probably!!
