On October 13, 2021, Queen Maxima visited the Queen Beatrix School in The Hague, which participates in the Largest School Band in the Netherlands during the 2021 Christmas Music Gala. As in previous years, twelve schools are participating in the band. Due to the corona pandemic, no preliminary rounds took place this year to participate in the largest school band. The Christmas Music Gala involves performances by the largest school band in the Netherlands consisting of children from all provinces. Queen Maxima is honorary chair of More Music in Classroom platform.
Massimo Dutti Blouse
Could be good, blue and white: a classic good combination, but it just isnot:
ReplyDeleteCulotte in combination with these extraordinary high heels: oh, oh, how bad;
The towel over the nice white blouse: oh, oh, how bad;
Unkempt hair: oh,oh, how bad.
It really is a pity,
Josh
Completely agree.

Josh, this has got to be the best comment. And spot on.

It would have been a really simple nice combination for a school visit if it weren't for the culotte. It's such a pity. The blouse is pretty.
ReplyDeleteClown pants and a bath towel over her shoulder tut tut!
ReplyDeleteShe can do so much better! nobody can pull this cloth-set off.
ReplyDeleteThere is certainly not a big amount (sound )of music in her appearance: the scarf looks like a table runner, her hair needs a good cut...
Now the good news ( I've had also rather only but.. hah): the shirt is well-chosen, nice belt and shoes ok.
Hope she will prevent future disasters and consult a stylist. Now looking forward for some good-old-dutch-clothes)): -Anna-

The blue scarf draping one shoulder is not a good accessory. The kids are wearing jackets for the fall weather, perhaps Queen Max could have used a blazer here. S.M.
ReplyDeleteHaar gezicht lijkt opgezwollen , wat spookt ze toch allemaal uit met haar uiterlijk?
ReplyDeleteHaar in dunne draden, blouse een beetje armoedig, en dan die waanzinnig hoge hakken.
Poekie
The messy hair and the shawl (slung of her shoulder like a towel) made me think of someone going to the locker room after some work-out.
ReplyDeleteThe blouse is nice, the culottes are awful. The navy-and-white colour combo is good.
I think she looks fresh in white and navy. Culottes are casual but put together with her accessories . She should have dropped the shawl. Nice she visited the school!!
DeleteQueen Maxima is very stylish in spite of the acid comments : what she wears are not "culotte" but cropped trousers and they are very trendy this fall...
ReplyDeleteAgree 100%!
Delete~fr
Agreed. Also, the same style of pants gets laurels when Letizia wears them - often from exactly the same ppl. Maxima can pull off the cropped pants, she is tall enough to wear them well. I for one don’t like her choice to add a scarf (it’s at best confusing and at worse by looks like a silly way to cover up a stain or something).
DeleteCH
Tacones altisimos incompatibles con la juppe-culotte, de cerca lo que lleva encima del hombro parece una toalla, el pelo despeinado, descuidado ,
ReplyDeleteresumiendo fracaso total!
Classic color combination. Maxima has the height to pull off cropped trousers. Missing a pop of color or fun accessory. Her hair is a mess.
ReplyDeleteE.B.B.
She should get an stylist already. The pants, the hair, the towel!!! such poor taste.
ReplyDeleteNobody, nobody looks good in culottes.

DeleteSorry, I disagree.
It much depends on one's s body type.
Maxima can pull it off.
P.
I also disagree about the cropped pants, yes they perfectly fit for some body types. The scarf does however not fit quite well with the rest; the white top is lovely. And if she wants to wear the super high heels, why not.
DeleteI am always surprised these intolerant comments.
Oh dear--culottes again! I know they are supposed to be wide-leg cropped pants but for some reason they don't look right. I wish she had gone for long trousers as I think they would much more flattering. Her blouse is very pretty and would have looked wonderful with trousers. The scarf--that's a nope for me. It seemed out of place. Finally, her hair--we all know it can look great but today it was a mess. I think she'd look great with shorter hair--like CP Mary is wearing right now or the very sleek bob that Queen Letizia had a few years ago. But, if she wants to keep longer hair she really needs to work harder at the control part--a ponytail would have been a good choice or a halfup/half down style too. Sadly, i my opinion, today was not one of her best appearances.
ReplyDeleteI get it !!! She just came from the gym, that is why she has the towel slung over her shoulder, and her hair is such a mess. The light in her closet was broken, thus the reason for the strangely short trousers, and such sky high heels that she might fall over if a strong gust of Nordic wind caught her unaware. jj
ReplyDeletePS: Do not think this way of dressing is appropriate for a Queen to wear in front of impressionable children.
@jj I'd throw the question around in the other direction ........ "do you think the way those kids are dressed is appropriate for a visit of the Queen of their country" ?
DeleteAnd did you note that nobody seemed to offer her a bouquet of flowers?
Ahh yess....They surely will be traumatized... But do you ever read what you write?? Lol
DeleteJJ
DeleteProvided everyone has a right to their views, your comment is really beyond words.
P.
Queen Maxina's hair is a pretty mess (as usual) and she is too old to this 'hairstyle' and the royal position, she has ...... just saying.
ReplyDeleteML
I'm surprised that people are calling these trousers culottes. As far as I'm aware culottes have always been much shorter and wider than this. These are cropped pants. For someone of Maxima's height I think the high heels suit this look. (And furthermore if Letizia can wear this look without nary a negative criticism then why not Maxima? )
ReplyDeleteI agree it's not her best look by far (the colours are nice) but it's an acceptable outfit. Just my view.

Peut-être que si Maxima avait porté un blazer à hauteur de la ceinture -que je trouve d'ailleurs fort jolie- elle aurait eu plus d'allure surtout en enlevant ce genre d'écharpe ou étole qui fait chiffon !
ReplyDeleteNo need to add more comments. The others said it already. Bad, bad, bad......
ReplyDeleteAnd then that scilly scarf..... I wonder why she often put a scarf that way over her shoulder. A short blazer would have been so much better. Carla
This time I really like Maxima's s modern outfit.
ReplyDeleteCulotte(they are, actually!) pants with flared cropped legs and the white blouse plus a thick blue belt are super trendy and very flattering on her.
She can pull it off also because she is statuary and quite tall.
The shoes are to die for.
What I do not like are her hair and that strange scarf so out of place.
P.
I often get the impression that Maxima's clothes need a good ironing. There must be people in the palace who are responsible for looking after her clothes. To me she looks frumpy today and then that odd scarf which adds no value at all.
