King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of the Netherlands are making a state visit to Slovakia at the invitation of President Zuzana Caputova. On March 7, The King and Queen were welcomed by President Caputova at the Presidential Palace in Bratislava. The King and Queen then laid a wreath at the Gate of Freedom in Devin, a memorial to those killed between 1948 and 1989 attempting to cross the Iron Curtain.
A meaningful state visit and tribute to Slovakia.
ReplyDeleteQ.Maxima is stunning, what an amazing deep hue of cobalt blue!
It looks like sapphire brightness.
Breathtaking jewelry too.
Perfection from head to toe including hair and make-up.
The king is handsome and so well groomed.
Impressive presidential couple, the First Lady's dress is lovely, simple, effective and sleek.
Well done to all of them.

DeleteI have to correct you: Mrs. Zuzana Čaputová is not the first lady, she is the first woman in the position of president in Slovakia. She is a former lawyer with a focus on ecology. She is 49 years old, very popular and very elegant. She has been in office for 4 years and if she runs for a second term, I will vote for her again.
DeleteQueen Maxima and the President look like sisters.
(PS: The ending of surnames "-ová" or "-á" means that a person with such a surname is a woman. We do not have to add Mrs. or Ms. to names. This applies to all Slavic languages)
I just want to add - both ladies look elegant. The previous comment was mine, I forgot to sign. Stephanie, Slovakia
DeleteThe president ( thank you Stephanie) wins here in simple elegance.
DeleteOf course Maxima wears a beautiful dress and coat, but the jewelry and eye-make-up are both too much and downgrade the total look for me.
The cute little hat should have been placed more backwards.

She looks very nice and polished. Beautiful coat. Hard to see the dress details but it has a distinct 50s vibe in collar and sleeves.
ReplyDeleteLadyofthemanor
yes indeed it has a 50s elegancy. This must be top 10 of state visit arrival Maxima has ever. I like the simple hat in contrast to the over sized hats she normally wears.
DeleteThis style is also very Princess of Wales. The blue sapphire ring, the hat and Catherine Walker dresses.
DeleteQue de couleurs bleu dans les tenues de Willem-Alexander et Maxima - Quelle agréable surprise le bibi de Maxima ; cela change beaucoup des chapeaux volumineux qu'elle porte assez souvent ; superbes bijoux de diamants/saphirs !
ReplyDeleteWhat a wonderful blue ensemble. So Simple and so regal. The model looks like it came from Dior in the 1950, with slim taille and circle skirt. And this goes for the little hat as well. Máxima looks stunning in it and it has the perfect length as well. More of this QM!
ReplyDeleteYes, Maxima looks very elegant. Great outfit and jewellery.

They all look great, including the hosts.
ReplyDeleteThe two ladies look very similar, I think. Similar facial features.
i see it. but the president's husband, has an interesting posture

Looks lovely km
ReplyDeleteI think Quen Maxima has been reading this blog and has finally aquired a good stylist. Hair, hat, coat, earrings look glorious. However I would have left the brooch at home with those big buttons on the dress or better still plain covered buttons with the beautifull brooch plling all the interest.
ReplyDeleteWow! I like every piece of this outfit, the coat is at least 20 years old, and comes to show that good couture is perennial, the dress has a vintage feel and is so feminine, I even like the big buttons, just because the dress color is sober.
ReplyDeleteThe Queen looks lovely.
I’ve always said, “invest good money in a non fashion coat and it will be your friend for life”.
DeleteMaxima looks superb in deep blues. She wore those colors with sapphires in the ceremony when she and WA became King and Queen. This is perfect for a state visit. I am also struck, like another poster, above, by the resemblance in features between the President, who is also very elegant, and Maxima! —Anne
ReplyDeleteI love the Navy ensemble, very smart and stylish. The dark Navy dress looks divine, the accompanying jewels were the perfect choice, looking exceptionally gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteGreat look for the K&Q. Also for the President and First lady of Slovakia. css
ReplyDeleteNot the First Lady - the President is the woman.
DeleteMaxima looks marvelous--that deep blue is gorgeous! President Caputova is a very elegant lady who is equally well-dressed--in fact, I like her dress best. Can't wait to see more from the visit.

Queen Maxima has chosen a lovely outfit for the kickoff of a state visit -- very regal in these blues. Not over the top, which I like.
ReplyDeleteI find all for looking spiffy, and impressed about The president. Don't know anything about her until know.
ReplyDeleteI believe we will have many nice outfits

Königin Maxima im Kate-Look gefällt mir sehr gut!
ReplyDeletelisa
To me the best day outfit (formal occasion) of Queen Maxima in a long, a very long time. Also, Mrs. President Caputová looks equally as good (minus the hat, that is).
ReplyDeleteThe King in recent times looks really tired. Makes me wonder what challenges he face in his role and the amount of politics and criticism they need to deal with.
