In her capacity as the United Nations Secretary-General’s Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development (UNSGSA), Queen Maxima paid an online country visit to Côte d'Ivoire. In bilateral meetings with Prime Minister Patrick Achi and other ministers (Finance; Digital Economy, Telecommunications and Innovation; Agriculture and Rural Development and Trade and Industry), the Special Advocate explored how she and her partners could support and collaborate to jointly promote financial and digital inclusion in the country. Queen Maxima wore a new yellow multi check-print tie-neck blouse and pleated a-line skirt from Duro Olowu.

No Maxima... Just no.
ReplyDeleteThe hair is better though!
Agree; nothing more to say,

Agree, agree Rosalyn!
DeleteShouldn't someone who has her ear tell her about multifocal's then she would not have to dangle her spectacles around her neck on a string which I am sure must tangle with half the pairs of earrings she has.
I understand why she has to fix her reading glasses on a string since one never remembers where one has put them down if only used for reading.
Agreed, just too much of everything. Sleeves, bow, pattern. She really just can't edit can she? It's a shame, because so often she comes so close.

A première vue, je n'aime vraiment pas ; peut-être que si je la voyais debout, je changerais d'avis mais il me semble que ce style conviendrait beaucoup mieux à une jeune femme - Quel changement ; ses cheveux ramenés en queue-de-cheval basse lui vont à merveille !
ReplyDeleteJe n'aime pas le style ni le tissus de cette robe, elle n'avantage pas Maxima. J'aurais préféré des boucles d'oreilles plus simples. Je lui donne un bon point pour les cheveux attchés en queue-de-cheval.

Franchement non, l'ensemble affreux, sur elle on ne voit que la partie supérieure, pas mieux, ses cheveux attachés, de face mal coiffés, de dos me semblent
ReplyDeleteplutôt collés, pas brillants.
I think this outfit is quite chic and suits her well, yes I like it although a bit dark and it fits very well with the hair. For me, YES.
ReplyDeleteLove this dress. The touch of yellow between the black and white check is gorgeous. Máxima likes to exaggerate in her selection of clothes. Sometimes it goes in the wrong direction and sometimes not, like today in my opinion. What's wrong with her hair by the way?
ReplyDeleteAnother day, Another clown suit.

O.K. but even with all her lumps and bumps, you can't help but like her.
DeleteWould love to have her as my next door neighbour.

DeleteYes, I can only agree with you.
Some people simply do not want to admit they do not like Maxima.
I myself say no to this oufit in particular, but some comments are really excessive.
I can' t help but saying: why bother to comment if you do not like this Queen?
Just move on.

En volgende keer weer een nieuwe outfit, wat is nou belangrijker je kleding of je werk,
ReplyDeleteIn deze tijd van overconsumptie kan dit niet, waarom geen twist geven aan al gedragen kleding.
Dan geef je het goede voorbeeld.

@Poekie: I agree again. She is a superconsumer of horrible clothes, once worne never to be seen again (which is a blessing in disguise). And this woman lectures “normal” people on “Wijzer in geld”….. (Wiser with money)….. maybe meaning a leaf from her book: to spend other people’s money without a care in the world? I do not mind her buying expensive clothes (and leave the occasional Zara dress for the bühne at Zara’s) but hire a stylist, buy elegant clothes and wear time again and again.

Other than the poofy sleeves and the huge neck (bow) tie, this is a beautiful dress. I like the fabric (especially the yellow running through the black and white) and the cut and fall of the skirt. Id have liked to see Maxima standing up wearing it. It looks horrible from what we can see when she is sitting down. Full marks for the sleek pony tail.

Hair style is great and really suits her. Undecided about the outfit without seeing a full length view. It appears quite overpowering on the model. Given the bold check of the fabric, does it really need the exaggerated sleeves and bow neckline? On the other hand, I like the pleated skirt. No doubt we’ll get a full view on another occasion.
