On Friday morning, April 23, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of The Netherlands attended the opening of the Koningsspelen 2021 (King's Games) at the Vlinderslag Child Center in Amersfoort. The ninth edition of the King's Games taking place this year revolves around the importance of togetherness with the theme "ik+jij=wij". The entire program of the games will be held outdoors this year.
Together with the school children, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima took part in a quiz about healthy eating and exercise and and then watched a number of sports activities around the school after the starting signal. There are 299 children at Kindcentrum Vlinderslag. The school is located in Amersfoort, the municipality that was named the most sportive in the Netherlands last year.
Afterwards, Queen Maxima of The Netherlands visited Veenendaal in the Gelderse Vallei to talk about the consequences of the corona crisis for the labor market.
I love what Maxima looks like today especially the fun of wearing the orange masks (for Kings day.) I like the combination with the tapestry looking coat. However that boxy style makes her look large and badly overweight which she absolutely is not.
ReplyDeleteFor the record: The Netherlands goes crazy on the official birthday of its king. Masses of people dek themselves, the streets, the shops and even the pastries out in the colour orange for the House of Orange.
I totally agree with you nalerina.
DeleteRavissante combinaison entre le tailleur-pantalon et le haut à pompons de couleur Bordeaux sans parler des gants et du sac à mains ; désolée de dire cela mais je trouve que même si le manteau a une belle coupe, il pourrait ressembler à un papier-peint ancien !
ReplyDeleteSpectacular coat by de la Renta! Queen looks regal.
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeleteWhat a young and fresh look and by the way classy and elegant.
ReplyDeleteThis outfit just looks all wrong for this occasion. I'm not a fan of that coat, it is way too big and looks like a curtain from 30 years ago. I do like the wine colored separates though.
ReplyDeleteChel
Agree, Chel. The flowers are nice to me, but such big flowers on a long coat... it's too much. The shape looks boxy too, which Nalerina also mentioned.
DeleteThe wine red separates are fine indeed.
I'm so in love with this coat!
ReplyDeleteYES, and the whole look too a clean neckline, earrings subtly reflecting the floral pattern, gloves in a streamlined color, and a fresh happy engagement. Nice to see the couple together.
DeleteThe red suit looks lovely, I don't like the coat neither today nor earlier. The hair is ok in spite of windy conditions.
ReplyDeleteThe coat kind of reminds me of Scarlet O'Hara making her dress out of the old curtains in Gone with the Wind.

Hello Anonymous @ ck
DeleteExactly what I thought. Hopefully there'd be enough of the frabric left to make some cushions .
But after such a nasty comment I must say that she is high on my list of Royal queens that I like. Even with all her lumps and bumps and fashion faults. In a way, she makes me feel normal.
I'd love to have her over for dinner. I'm sure it would be a great night.
The coat could be great, but not in this combination.
ReplyDeleteThe oversized coat asks for a pair of trousers like the model is wearing: now it is wide over wide which makes it very voluminous.

Oh, the trousers worn by the model are totally impossible for me; did she plan to clean the streets with her pants?
DeleteI think it over again but the same answer from me comes back : I very rarely like Oscar d.l.R's design.
She's not wearing the coat, the coat is wearing her.
ReplyDeleteI think I will just say I prefer the way she styled it in the small picture next to the de la Renta pictures. It was buttoned, and I liked the green boots and accessories with it. It is one of those coats that should stay buttoned to look its best. I will now sit back and and enjoy the comments. ~d
ReplyDeleteSadly, other than her beautiful smile it was all mish-mash of an outfit. No to the earrings, did not fit in with the deep colors of the rest of the outfit. No to the new hair extensions that made the hair longer, but in no better shape. Yes to her smile, and nice to see the King. cali
ReplyDeletehow do you know she wears extensions??
Delete/w.w.
My modest opinion, she is not wearing extensions on this occasion. She let her hair grow a bit.
DeleteThink Queen Maxima is looking great here. Love the burgundy coloured separates and the coat is amazing. very few people could pull this off but she is one of them. Also think that the king is looking better--perhaps a little lighter and certainly not as dishevelled as he has done recently. Still wish he'd get rid of the beard though.
ReplyDeleteAgree with you Annie M .
DeleteA bold and beautiful coat! It certainly requires courage and charisma of its bearer as well as a tall frame, and Máxima sure has all of those.
ReplyDelete-B.
Exactly my thoughts. She has her very strong personal style and she looks wonderful in it. -Siri
DeleteBeautiful Maxima, what were you thinking when matching all these pieces?
ReplyDeleteQueen Maximá is wearing a "Brillant MM" handbag made by the Belgian label Delvaux.
ReplyDeleteI like the matching colours of her accessoires but I am not a fan of red gloves.
