On September 16, Queen Maxima opened the national supercomputer Snellius at SURF Science Park in Amsterdam. The new supercomputer offers scientific research in the Netherlands almost ten times more computing power than its predecessor. During the opening meeting, the possibilities of supercomputing for scientific research and for tackling societal challenges were discussed.
The supercomputer was designed to be suitable for all fields of science, from astronomy to social sciences and from climate change research to medical sciences. Snellius, like its predecessor Cartesius, will be located in the Amsterdam Data Tower at the Amsterdam Science Park.
Our Queen as bridesmaid…
ReplyDeleteHelas, no well dressed woman around there.
( the red velvet tunique is very nice as long as you think it is a dress) ,
Sorry ladies!

Josh: Exactly my thought :)
DeleteDe par sa silhouette, il faut reconnaître qu'elle supporte bien ce haut combiné à un pantalon dont je trouve les jambes un peu trop larges ; la couleur est vraiment trop fade - D'autre part, je remplacerai son serre-tête fleuri par un modèle plus simple dans une couleur unie -comme par exemple- le bleu des boucles d'oreilles tout à fait à mon goût !
ReplyDeleteLooking at the first photo, I did not even understand it was Queen Maxima, I thought it was the photo of a wedding. Goodness!
ReplyDeleteThere are so many things that are WRONG here. The culottes are a disaster. The headband is too childish. The top is ill fitting. But Maxima’s smile is her best accessory so that shines as usual.
ReplyDeleteMary
Agree.
DeleteE.B.B.
Unfortunately I have to agree. I like the top and the shoes, but that's about it... Luckily she has a very warm personality that shines through.
DeleteTotally agree with you Mary.
DeleteMy opinion as well.
DeleteOh nein!
ReplyDeleteShe is so original in those clothes that she made me laugh.
ReplyDeleteThe entire look is wrong. I don't understand why she won't get a nice haircut and hire a stylist.
ReplyDelete...marie
It was horrible the first time she wore it and it still hasn’t got any better. Km
ReplyDeleteSo not a look for this event. Why in the world is she wearing a wedding look? Ugghh. She needs a stylist. Im pretty sure she has the money for that. A sleek business suit would have been perfect.

ReplyDeleteI do like the earrings, but that's about it this time.
ReplyDeleteMCS
No a quel cerchietto tra i capelli!
ReplyDeleteWell, I don't know what to say.
ReplyDeleteGoing to have another cup of tea then I'll try to understand what our dear Maxima is trying to express with her outfit today.
It may take an entire pot for this. I may join you. I can't unsee the unfortunate situation of her backside eating her pants. ~d
DeleteOh no! 🙈

Oddly dressed, third photo with hair a mess says it all, I give up, when will this woman get it right? She has potential, she has the resources, she has the smile and personality all at her disposal. jj
ReplyDeleteWell let's put it mildly, Máxima is not the queen with a good fashion feeling/taste. A culotte, please put it in the cupboard forever. This diadem in the hair made me think of something for a first communion in the catholic church for a 6 year old. It's such a pity that this intelligent and friendly Queen with her golden smile has not better advisors around her.
ReplyDeleteI see that I do not have to say anything…… nobody does, the pictures tell it all…….
ReplyDeleteHow is this even possibel?

Shaking my head in disbelief at these photos. On seeing the first photo, I assumed she was at a wedding or some kind of religious service. The hairband, while a good idea to keep her hair back of her face, is just totally out of place. This week started so well with the lovely green dress, the striped effort was okay and now this. Tomorrow, I don't know what might happen......
ReplyDeleteShe has the worst taste in fashion of someone always in the public eye.
ReplyDeleteI don't know how a queen, a royal person, can show up to a business sort of event, involving technology and computers, in such an outfit. Also, last time she visited cows on a meadow with a new, exaggerated wide-brimmed hat and a greeen plissee silk dress. Totally over the top. Might be good for taking tea with fellow queens in some palace but not for an agricultural themed visit. Same goes for this technology occasion as mentioned above. What on earth is she thinking? Thumbs down, sorry.
ReplyDeleteThe outfit is not a winner but the Queen pulls it off. What I don’t understand is the brown blush and shiny makeup that looks like it was applied two days prior. Why would someone recommend brown blush for the Queen’s skin tone? It ages her and makes her look tired.
ReplyDeleteThe shiny-face picture was clearly taken when she was perspiring.
DeleteI agree with everyone’s comments, the whole outfit is just ridiculous for a woman her age . But what is on her finger ? Is that a ring or a splint of some sort?
ReplyDeleteFound on another website:
DeleteFollowing inquiries from Dutch newspaper NOS, the Government Information Service (or, in Dutch, abbreviated in RVD) confirmed that the Queen had suffered a fracture as a consequence of an accident.
In the press release, it is not made clear what caused the accident nor how long Her Majesty will have to wear the protection. However, it specified that Queen Máxima had been complaining about feeling pain for a while and that the fracture diagnosis was made subsequent to medical treatment for said pain.
Maybe pain meds are responsible for the outfit. It's just a thought. ~d
That looks bad.
ReplyDeleteWhat a mess. Mary I
ReplyDeleteYikes! Not one of her better outings.
ReplyDeleteTotal cursileria, fallo todo, como calificar el pelo, la veo descuidada.
ReplyDeleteWow...I thought the previous day's brown look was bad...this is worse.
ReplyDeleteRenee
Het heeft bijna iets triests..... Wie laat zich zo toetakelen door een stylist.......
ReplyDeleteOp deze manier wordt je ouderdom geaccentueerd.
Poekie
Ik denk dat ze geen stylist heeft….. dat dat juist het probleem is.
DeleteLily T.
Agree with Poekie, the whole outfit ages her instead of flattering her. I like only the shoes.
DeleteDesastre total, ni la sonrisa lo salva.
ReplyDeleteMaxima me parece una mujer maravillosa, pero este look es un desastre, un pantsuit hubiese sido perfecto para esta ocasión.
ReplyDeleteI am beginning to think that Maxima is having fun wondering what silly outfit can I wear now to shock all and sundry. I don't think even a bridesmaid who has to wear what the bride likes would agree to this.
