On May 12, 2022, Dutch King Willem-Alexander, Queen Maxima and Princess Beatrix attended the 'Apples of Orange' (Appeltjes van Oranje) awards ceremony for social initiatives supported by the Oranje Foundation. The award ceremony took place at Palace Noordeinde in The Hague. The Appeltjes van Oranje are awarded annually to three distinctive social initiatives in the Kingdom.
Natan Josie sleeveless dress
What a lovely dress, right length , right fit, and a vibrant color that flatters her. Nothing over the top today, hooray!! I will not mention the shiny hose… 😀

All look well dressed for the occasion. QM's dress looks super, hair is styled well and the shoes are gorgeous. PB wears her more or less signature combination, but due to the (for her) unusual print it gives a different, positive vibe.

Now THIS is beautiful Maxima. The prettiest dress I've seen on the Queen in months.
ReplyDeletePrincess Beatrix: very charming summer complet.
ReplyDeleteQ. Maxima: Nice, but too small dress ( and I will never get used to this kind of artificial hairdo)

Perfection from head to shoes! First Natan dress that I like! Color, fit, design and length look fabulous on the Queen. The King looks handsome and they make a stunning couple. MR
ReplyDeleteAgree that this is a great look and that the couple look good together here

Well, a week of lovely outfits! Yes even the flower hat. Not sure re the colour of the shoes but like the dress km
ReplyDeleteBeautiful dress, perfect summer colour looks great on Maxima. - Siri
ReplyDeleteBlond hair extensions are back......... Nice outfit!
ReplyDeleteShe doesnt have extensions
DeleteI also think she has extensions.
DeleteNice! This may be the first Natan outfit that I like. It´s still not perfect (a bit too tight across the bust), but it´s attractive, great colour and design. And what a difference the hair makes - it´s looking really neat here.
ReplyDeleteExactly, Vanessa!
DeleteShe looks lovely from tip to toe. But am I mistaken when I see some extensions in the first and second photo? If so, her hairstylist should be more careful. I.P.
ReplyDeleteI dont see any extension. I think its just her grown hair.
DeleteHet zijn geen extensions, het is een haarstuk. Poekie
ReplyDeleteIn my view that doesn't really make a difference. Again if she likes to have it, why not, if the result is nice.
DeleteAnother Natan. Shiny stockings. Hair extensions. Pse.
ReplyDeleteQueen" Dress, nice. Shoes with plastic bits, tacky. Princess B, dress a little busy, but she is lovely as ever.
ReplyDeleteHere she looks beautiful, her makeup is perfect and so the dress.

I don't think Maxima's hair is styled. She has the same hair as yesteday, she did not even brush it this morning. She definitely has hairextensions too, already for a few days now.
ReplyDeleteI think a little bit messy hair looks good , more natural .

Queen Max's dress is gorgeous and I think it fits perfectly. I'd like to see her in the modeled version too. Her hair is very pretty (I see no extensions). I think she is wearing the smaller version of her shell earrings. Princess Beatrix looks lovely in her usual style. Much like QEII, she knows what she likes and never strays far from it. I like the King's suit and orange tie.

Wonderful outing from Queen Maxima and Princess Beatrix! The Natan dress is very pretty and the color is wonderful on Maxima. Again, the toned down look is polished and perfect from head to ankles--I do not like those shoes with the plastic inserts on anyone. Princess Beatirx is also looking wonderful. Her dress is elegant and perfect for her. The smiles on everyone's faces are show what a wonderful event it was.

I struggle to understand the obsession as to whether she wears extensions or not, some seem to point that she does as if it was something inappropriate and others quickly negate the existence of such as if she needed to be defended. Hair extensions are rather common and wearing them or not is just a way to improve certain hairdos. I frankly don’t care if she does, but she definitely looks much better when her hair is well coiffed with or without the help of artificial hair.

This blog is very popular to hairdressers- our poor royals never get it right - LOL - SIV
DeleteAgreed. I also don't understand the continual attention to whether or not Maxima wears extensions. Why should it matter?

I don't understand several obsessions here ! Against hair extensions, aesthetic care, shiny staff, be it material or pants, Natan, Camilla's boots .... none of those are to be totally rejected in my view. If things or care are used appropriately, they should be acceptable.
DeleteAll look lovely, elegant, up-to-date. QM's dress fits and is not too small. PB very elegant as always. The pattern of her dress is a bit busy, but the colors are very good..
ReplyDeleteBelle robe aux lignes près du corps ; bien maquillée et de plus, je ne suis pas sûre qu'elle ait des extensions de cheveux qui depuis quelque temps, ont dû bénéficier de soins afin de les tonifier et apporter du volume ; la princesse Beatrix est ravissante dans son ensemble imprimé tunique/jupe dans une teinte très douce ; bon choix de couleur entre le petit sac à bandoulière et ses chaussures !
ReplyDeleteOMG! Maxima should wear more blue. Fantastic colour on her.
ReplyDeleteUn vestido muy bonito, no necesita nada mas
