Natan Dogane Cape and Natan Cigale Dress
Great outfit--even though it's by Natan--definitely one of his better creations. . Like the dress, cape, shoes and the hair is great today. Well done, Queen Maxima
ReplyDeleteI agree on all points, a fantastic looking Queen and a surprisingly attractive style from Natan.
DeleteVery well done Máxima. Cape and dress could have been shorter like on the model
DeleteWell her hair actually looks good here.
ReplyDeleteThe print of the dress does her no favors and the cape/jacket is very wrinkled.
She does look cheerful though.

Maxima looks in good form today. As always, her smile is infectious. Her Natan dress and cape and her shoes are pretty though lacking in color, and her hair is well done. The only jewelry I can discern is her earrings. Compared to yesterday, she is very low-keyed, in a good way.
ReplyDeleteYes, Maxima is a show-version of herself.
ReplyDeleteNow and then playing the clown. The audience loves it, so well-done.
Nice styled too. -Anna-
Anna, you are so incredible rude!
DeleteCB
Golly, why so negative Anna?
Delete@Anna: you can question QM's fashion choices, but I don't think anyone can deny (by looking at photos as well as videos) that people feel very comfortable in the company of QM; in any case it never looks 'forced' because this queen has what it takes to be very open and spontaneous and serious where necessary. This is anything but easy for someone who comes from a completely different culture and language area and deserves respect imo

Shame on you
DeleteWell, this is not a nice thing to say, but, helas, in my eyes very recognizable.
DeleteOnce you have noticed it it is difficult to ignore, but ignore you should, because this charactertrait will not change.
So: try to focus on the fashion!

Love everything about this! A cape coat seems so much better than wearing a coat as a cape since it is more mobile, and the pattern and color of the dress is very flattering. The Queen looks very well and well-coiffed, and happy to be with the attendees.

I really like her outfit today, sort of subdued and very vanilla for her, but I think she looks rather elegant and very regal. Good hair day as well, and no silly shawl between her hands, that I can see. :-)

The outfit - both the dress and the cape - are lovely and Maxima wears the whole look well. But for once it is a relatively subdued outfit for this flamboyant Queen when, of all times she could have worn one of her more colourful ensembles and been perfectly appropriate since it's a festive, Christmas event.

i agree. i was like were is the big hat and bright colour clothing, after all its Christmas the only time when it appropriate and she shows up so subdued!
Deletew.
She looks great!
ReplyDeleteThis outfit looks fabulous, very elegant. Love the cape, so serviceable. The dress fits well and perfect length. I love the colour tones, right down to her shoes and clutch.
ReplyDeleteA surprisingly nice outfit from Natan. I fear she got this outfit mixed up with yesterday's. This would have been much more appropriate for Amalia's big day, allowing her to shine. As I have said many times in the past, I do not like Natan's fabrics. The cape, while a nice design, is horribly wrinkled from the car ride. A better fabric choice or lining would have helped tremendously. This is a Natan I won't mind seeing again. ~d
ReplyDeleteMaybe she got the two outfits mixed up. She should have worn the red dress, hat, etc to the Christmas special, and the more subdued outfit to allow her daughter to shine for her first speech. jj
ReplyDeleteMaxima's hair look so pretty today. And for Natan this is very good outfit! Lovely colors that go well with her blond hair. Its good to see Maxima looking so elegant and regal again.
ReplyDeleteKarin
As much as I like this outfit I would prefer it 10 to 12 cm shorter. The belt must go away too. The wrinkles in her cape are probably due too the humid weather conditions. Carla
ReplyDeleteWonderful look for QM today; the cape is beautiful both in colour as well as in cut and will combine well with many other outfits she has.
ReplyDeleteMCS
A rather dull dress in dito colour.
ReplyDeleteAnd oh, how I hate those capes: they really add just a formless nothing, this one in a dreary colour, no.
Josh
I do hate Covid 19, but capes - OMG!
DeleteFine
A mon avis, il n'y a que la robe qui convienne bien à Maxima même si elle manque de couleurs en cette période de pré-Noël ; pour la cape, je vois une différence avec celle du mannequin dont le tissu semble avoir plus de maintien et plus courte --et les boucles d'oreilles sont trop discrètes !
ReplyDeleteEarrings too discreet ? oh no, for once they are classy.
ReplyDeletePar trop discrètes, j'ai voulu dire pas assez visibles ; elle nous a souvent montré de belles boucles d'oreilles plus imposantes !
DeleteMy god far over the top considering the occasion.
ReplyDeleteKeep it simple Max...looking good here with a bit less bling than usual.

ReplyDeleteDon't forget Queen Maxima before she got married to King Willem Alexander had an important job at Deutsche Bank. She had international contacts and was well aware of the customs of the western culture. We do admire her to have learned the Dutch language so quickly.
