On November 3, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima will attend the Netherlands’ National Day at Expo 2020 Dubai. Before visiting Expo, the King and Queen paid a working visit to a Pure Harvest ‘smart farm’ near Sweihan in Abu Dhabi. This high-tech greenhouse in the desert produces tomatoes, strawberries and lettuce in a sustainable manner. The technologies and expertise needed for the greenhouse were supplied by Dutch companies.

ReplyDeleteYess, just that,

The top is OK The pants are too baggy and too long. They should have been in green or cream and not in the same pattern as the top. The sandals (seen on another site) seem to be used and old.

One of the joys of this site for me is that people explain why I don't like something, even if I can't put a finger on it myself. They often also give constructive suggestions. Thank you, MJ, for the suggestion of plain trousers. That would improve the outfit massively as the blouse is nice.
DeleteI agree, it could be nice.
DeleteMJ and Annie M, you both said it perfectly. Great comments.
DeleteSuch promise in this outfit, if she could just get a stylist!

Très jolis motifs très frais de cet ensemble en lin mais il n'avantage pas du tout la silhouette de Maxima ; quel contraste avec la robe vert foncé de la jeune femme qui marche à ses côtés !
ReplyDeleteFarm outfit from top to toe. Without any need to stir a finger, of course.

DeleteI love our dear Maxima too much to use the word 'scarecrow'.
DeleteSo in the kindest of ways I'll say "it will certainly keep the birds away from eating the crop."
Oh quel mauvais choix, cet ensemble n'avantage pas la silhouette de Maxima. Il aurait été préférable de porter la blouse avec un pantalon uni de couleur blanc ou vert, car l'imprimé est beaucoup trop voyant. Le pantalon est également beaucoup trop large à mon avis, ce qui alourdi la silhouette de Maxima; on dirait presque qu'un ensemble 'camouflage' pour le désert! Pourquoi s'acharner à porter des vêtements signés Natan!

Nice pyjama sets.
ReplyDeleteI really dislike this print. It looks like a scan code. Also head to toe of it isn't very flattering. The fabric looks dull.

I expect the first blogger to criticize her hair in 4..3..2...1...

DeleteI first saw the top and thought this would make a nice midi dress.....until the full length picture. The trousers do Maxima no favours and make her look larger than she is. She has a good figure it seems a shame to swamp it - some slimmer line slacks in green or cream may be better.
ReplyDeletePicture 4 is a lovely one - this couple smile with their eyes! Always nice to see them. J
I do not know why Máxima changed the original model. Short jacket instead of knee length and puffed trousers instead of flared. She lookes a bit pompous now.
ReplyDeleteI'm in the minority, but I do like the print and would even have liked the whole outfit if the pair of trousers would have been less wide. Having QM's picture taken will someone's behind her (pic 5) makes the whole picture visually even bulkier.

I also like the outfit and print, and agree with your comments, especially that the pants should have been narrower. I also noticed the unfortunate photo optics when I first looked at the photos.

I agree also.

Another Natan fail.
ReplyDeletePlain tailored khaki trousers would have worked so much better with the print just for the top. It's too much and not flattering my opinion.
ReplyDeleteBee
I think QM looks nice . This outfit is very appropriate .
ReplyDeleteI won’t dislike this outfit if worn for a nice stroll on the beach walk, or for a get together at home, it has a loungewear vibe. The print is entirely too much for a business casual outfit, and although I do love palazzo pants, this are way too wide. The style of the pictured model with the longer blouse and slimmer pants is much better, but either way I don’t think that it would be a winner for Máxima.
ReplyDeleteCherry
My opinion is that the outfit looks like something worn in home for comfort, not for an occasion where you are representing an entire country. georgia
