On March 14, 2023, Queen Maxima of The Netherlands paid a working visit to various projects of the Equal Opportunity Community (Gelijke Kansen Community) in ’s-Hertogenbosch. The working visit focused on the equality of opportunity for children and young people. A community of more than a hundred participants is working towards this goal with the "Talent Counts" action programme.
Queen Maxima, as Honorary President of MIND Us, visited the Christian School Community De Goudse Waarden in Gouda. The working visit focused on the influence of sport on the mental health of young people. MIND Us works on the healthy development of young people to become more resilient and get a grip on their mental health.

Maxima gets all the points for the colour combination. The suit, the blouse, the shoes, the bag - even the earrings - magnificent. The headband is a big no, though. I actually kinda liked it last time she wore it, but then she had a proper side part and neatly styled hair. Like this it gives me mum-on-school-run-vibes, just shoved in there to tame third day hair. She can do better with the band, but I think the look would still be a success without the extra pink on top. Another little deduction for standing on a gym floor with those killer heels - I see a few caretakers holding their breath!

I also think the foundation and dark blush color make her look harsh and worn out tired. Her complexion looks so dry. Camila is much older than Maxima but her skin, although wrinkled with age, looks dewy and fresh. Camila also uses quality makeup products. I’m surprised Maxima appears to not be taking care of her skin. I like the pantsuit but not the color against her makeup choice and over bleached hair. Love her enthusiasm and positive attitude! MR
DeleteLove the colour and fit of Maxima's trouser suit. The shocking pink blouse provides a burst of colour, and while I thought it odd at first, I now see it as an angle of fun to the outfit, considering her young audience. The headband serves it's purpose of holding back her hair and of course, draws it's colour from the blouse. As always, she is joyfully engaged with the young people and the cause is a wonderful one.

Nice except for the headband. Km
ReplyDeleteBelle combinaison du violet et du rose vif mais je ne garderai pas cette sorte de bandeau que l'on dirait presque emprunté à une petite fille ; élégant son sac à mains !
ReplyDeleteWell, it's a different look and I think I like it. Well done, Queen Maxima. The wine trouser suit with the vivid pink blouse is a winner for me. The headband works I think. Although the ends of the Queen's hair are still straggly, it's less noticeable with the hair off her face. Makes her look younger too.
ReplyDeleteI agree with your comments. I think the young students would really like the headband and that might be the reason she chose to wear it.
DeleteI was a bit on the fence as to the purple suit, pink blouse and hot pink bandanna thingy, but I now think it's a winner. Maxima seems so happy and excited, so full of life that she can pull this outfit off. It might not look good on somebody with less personality and presence, it would be overpowering.
ReplyDeleteThis Zara outfit is so much better than a Natan. It fits her very well. Not too crazy about the blouse color. And that thing on her hair! she's not a child.
ReplyDeleteCould'nt agree more
DeleteI like this bright pink top with this suit. However, I find the bright color of the headband too distracting. I wish the color of the shirt stood on its own. I like the fact her hair is pulled back by the band though.

Q Max got it wrong again. Too much bright pink and purple. The headpiece and blouse are just not the right look. The only positive is that the headpiece kept the strangely hair out of her face. Too bad she did not wear a cream colour blouse and accessories, or black, that would have been much better. The makeup across the cheeks in a straight line (photos, 1, 3 and 4) was a bit garish as well. Nice smile. Edwina
ReplyDeleteIf you are boring and old at heart you wear cream or beige. If you are young, fresh and stylish you wear pink. Siv
DeleteI agree @Siv. She looks amazing. The colors are a dream. The suit fits so much better than her Natan garments. I even like the headband. Is it Maxima without a little something extra?
DeleteShe seems to have toned down her makeup a bit and she looks much better! The color of the suit is pretty on her.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fabulous pantsuit, it fits perfectly. The shoes and clutch are a lovely color.
ReplyDeleteTotally agree!
DeleteTotally agree!
DeleteNice suit, maybe a different blouse and a pillbox hat? css
ReplyDeleteA pillbox hat and a suit ? Ughh
DeleteBella combinazione di colori, stupendo il modello del pantalone, tacchi troppo alti per visitare una scuola.
ReplyDeleteAl posto della fascia avrei messo un piccolo cerchietto senza fronzoli.
In quanto al trucco ultimamente va giù pesante con fard e terra, e quando si è grandi "meno è meglio".

Love this color combo on Max, although not sure the headband works this time. Thanks for including the funny photo of her holding the ball…the range of activities royals have to do while dressed up is impressive!
ReplyDeleteOh no not this headband 🫣… looks cheap (even though surely not!) and … hmm … too much!
ReplyDeleteBut guess that’s the bubbling Queen Maxima, everything with her should be extravagant 😜

I love that bag.
ReplyDeleteJust perfect for this event with the kids.
ReplyDeleteSo the cherry on the cake this time is by way of a folkloric headband.
ReplyDeleteVery (adorable) Maxima.🧡💛💚
