Why the coat its 30C in Morocco right now
DeleteNot my favorite look. She looks a bit out of place among all those suites. She could have skipped the open toes shoes. Morocco in March can be really fresh, so I understand the need for the coat.
ReplyDeleteWithout any hesitation, a NO for the dress.
ReplyDeleteAgree. And a bigger NO for the shoes.
DeleteAgree with you both. NO to the shoes and the dress. The dress is unbelievable. What was she thinking to choose to wear this?
DeleteTotally agree. The dress is awful and so are the shoes.

I suppose there's some symbolism there with the bird's eyes & the crossbar at cr**ch level; but other than that in general - what a monstrosity. And the ugly clunkers on her feet do not help the look at all. Horrors. |Melanie|
ReplyDeleteIf she wants to be taken seriously in the capacity of financial advice, wash and brush your hair, wear business attire to meetings, and stop with all the crazy clothes and looking like a bag lady with an ugly dress. Sorry, couldn't figure out a polite way of saying this. Eloise
ReplyDeleteHave to agree!
DeleteRight on ALL points! What a disaster of a look today.
DeleteRene
UGH!
ReplyDeleteThe whole ensemble looks etrange, complete mismatch. Sometimes she looks gorgeous, sometimes like this. e.
ReplyDeleteIt looks really strange, what was she thinking?
DeleteThis is a hot mess. The dress is awful, way too busy, the camel coat slung over the shoulders doesn’t work with the colors in the dress and the shoes and hair are off too. One of Maxima’s worst efforts.
ReplyDeleteThat is one ugly dress! The angry bird eye pattern is a definite no!
ReplyDeleteJoli imprimé foulard original mais j'aurais vu ses chaussures avec plus de légèreté !
ReplyDeleteI have no words! the dress! ther shoes! the hair! Somebody please help her!
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
DeleteDear Kteach, why not be kind? She’s a hardworking and generous person, using her background in a very helpful way to fight one aspect of poverty, around the world, long term. Why not celebrate that? I don’t understand the meanness towards her (or any other Royal on this blog), including from you. Maxima and her kids can read these posts and your comments - so let’s be fair. Your blog is called “Kinder world”, a sentiment I love … but why not demonstrate that kindness here? For everyone, let’s learn to share worthwhile fashion opinions here and cut the meanness out! It makes me sad to see the growth of meanness (comments which would hurt the person you’re criticising) here over the past few years. We can do better! - Jane.
DeleteThis dress is incredibly ugly, far too busy, and even makes Queen Maxima look
ReplyDeletechubby, which she isn’t.

Her face looks different/swollen. Eyes look different too. Change in make-up?
ReplyDelete- Anon 9:13
Maybe a change in make-up.
DeleteI put it down to the lighting and the camera.
The luminosity of the sky is much greater in Morocco than in northern Europe.
I would have nightmares if I wore that dress. Eloise summarized it quite well. We don't want to insult or hurt feelings, but the Queen can do so much better. You never go wrong with simple business attire at a gathering like this. Look at the lady with the black suit and colorful scarf. That's the way to do it.
ReplyDeleteWhy in the world wouldn't she just wear a suit? It's a business/finance meeting after all. This is hideous, everything about it.
ReplyDeleteChel
No, no and no. I do not care that this is made by a design house. It still not a good look. Weird pattern, weird dress for a business meeting. Why is she wearing platform shoes. She must be the tallest person even without them.
ReplyDeleteLadyofthemanor
Oh my--big no on so many levels. The shoes are, sadly, awful for this outfit--they make her feet look like concrete blocks. The dress looks like Valentino had a bunch of leftover scraps of material and decided to put them together for a dress. And, the heavy bronzer is back. There was a site a couple of years ago that ran a best and worst of the year--this wins my vote for worst right now.
ReplyDeleteJanet
I love color and pattern so I really want to like this dress, but it’s not going to happen. Too much all over. And the shoes are too heavy, regardless of the outfit.
ReplyDeleteO.K. Maxima gets bad fashion comments but you can't help but love her.
ReplyDeleteI agree with you. what would we be writing about here it it wasn t for our lovely Maxima!!!
DeleteI think because she is already a rather tall lady she does not need elevated shoes, it appears she is the tallest there!
ReplyDeleteI think, but what do I know, is that she is tired of the cold Dutch weather and was really looking forward to using her spring wardrobe, however, Morocco's temperatures are not that hot either, hence the need for winter accessories, creating a messy look, not winter, neither spring.
ReplyDeleteNot very successful choices, in my opinion.
Luna
This may be Valentino, but I dislike this dress, the design, the symbols, the color pattern, chaos. The shoes are a no.
ReplyDeleteYou are so right. Terrible look.
DeletePauline
Q Maxima, look at how Catherine, Princess of Wales dresses for a business meeting, please take note; Use your hairbrush, tone down the makeup, wear clothing that suits 'business casual', you do not have to try and stand out with ugly jewelry, and and even worse series of dresses thus far on this trip. Edwina
ReplyDeleteYou are maybe right about Q Maxima's outfit of today but you cannot compare the few business meetings of Princess Catherine with the agenda of Q Maxima.
DeleteYes, Catherine and Mary have not yet assumed the role of queen. When they do, I do not think we would ever see a look this bad. So Queens....Letizia, Sonja, Silvia, Rania. None of these have ever been in public with such messy, unhealthy hair and such a ugly dress.
DeleteAwful mess
ReplyDeleteI agree with everyone's opinion regarding Maximas look being totally out of place. I've noticed many royal women have been very relaxed in their attire. I'm glad their now comfortable in their roles, but too much dressing down for meetings, or overdressed costum attire, or too much skin being shown for the official events. High dress slits should be for private outings. I'm afraid of how the next generation will be dressing.- A Summer
ReplyDeleteHer Majesty the Queen looks like a butterfly in this dress!
ReplyDeleteI think Q Máxima looks very depressed, in spite her smile.
ReplyDeleteThe problems affecting her daughter Amália are also affecting her.
Nevertheless, she is representing her country, therefore she should be more presentable
She is not representing her country. She is there as special advocate of the UN. There is a big difference with being on state visit. Then she is representing her country.
DeleteI can't help but wonder what the comments would have been if f.i. Princess Charlene would have worn this dress.... I don't like it very much either, but I can't help but think that Queen Maxima, who in my opinion demonstrates to be an 'out of the box' person, is an 'easy target' is 'for readers of this blog who go for predictable and 'safe'. Do some people really think she goes out with unwashed, unkempt hair?! Of course it has been washed and combed, but although many of us don't like this style apparently the queen does.... good for her!
ReplyDeleteThanks for you comment. I agree with you. Especially your point about Princess Charlene. You almost never read any negatives about her, in my humble opinion, horribly boring hairstyle , black grey camel monochrome coats and dresses .Maxima at least looks alive, she is not afraid of standing out. As you say she is completely out of the box, but I don’t think she deserves so harsh critics.
DeleteThis is a horrible dress. On the red part it looks like eyes are staring at one. So for me this is a definite NO on this outfit. css
