On the morning of April 1, Queen Máxima paid an online working visit to Kletsmaatjes (Chat Buddies). This initiative of 'Het Begint met Taal Foundation' is an online form of language coaching in which volunteers practice the Dutch language with newcomers. Queen Maxima spoke with a number of coordinators who connect volunteers and newcomers and received information about Kletsmaatjes and its positive results.
Kletsmaatjes was founded in March 2020 because daily (talking) contacts were lost for newcomers due to the corona measures and many volunteers also wanted to do something for others during the corona crisis. The coronavirus initiative Kletsmaatjes is an online form of language coaching for which a multitude of new arrivals had already signed up within a few days of launching. Queen Maxima wore a multicolor print skirt and blouse from Etro.
The hair and the dress are just not good.

Joli imprimé cachemire multicolore mais je trouve que ces teintes ne sont pas à l'avantage de Maxima ; à mon avis, elles sont trop fades par rapport à sa couleur de cheveux ; j'aurais bien vu des coloris plus lumineux !
ReplyDeleteIt is a lovely design but the colours donot work on Zoom nor on Maxima,

ReplyDeleteWhy is this Anonymous comment allowed? So cowardly to criticize anonymously!
DeleteA definite no for me.
ReplyDeleteI agree, the outfit does not work regarding color and even less for a video occasion, maybe ok for an outdoors sunny occasion. Hair style looks unkempt.
DeleteAgree, Nalerina and MaryT. Sometimes I wish we could see the 'old' Maxima again, groomed and styled.
DeleteAs always, top marks for Maxima’s smile. Don’t think I like the top anyway but it certainly doesn’t work in a video call
ReplyDeleteWhat is happening here?! Nothing about this looks good. The colors, pattern, shape, it all must go! First, it looks like a curtain from days long ago. Second, the color placement is not flattering, especially the red at the bottom. Third, it is terribly aging.

I have to painfully admit that you are right.
DeleteBut Maxima's smile is as heartwarming as ever.
I honestly see nothing to critique here. The placket placement creates a nice frame for Maxima's face and decolletage, the dark orange print on the shoulders is bold enough to offset the neutral colors lower down and to give warmth to Maxima's complexion. The red at the waist is likely the belt as seen in the full-length photo of an earlier occasion - what's the problem again? This just happens to be Maxima's hairstyle and for me it's looking better conditioned with the ends less ragged than in the past, but I'm weary of the "unkempt" and "mess" sayers. Have they seen unkempt and messy hair? This is not it. S.M.
ReplyDeleteThe pattern and style of this dress is not attractive on Maxima. While her hair may not be as messy here, it is also not styled well or healthy looking.
