On June 27, Queen Maxima of The Netherlands, member of the Dutch Entrepreneurship Committee, opened the new head office of Qredits in Almelo. The non-profit organization Qredits provides loans, offers coaching and training to (starting) SME entrepreneurs. The theme for the opening was 'Helping SMEs become more sustainable'.
After the opening of the new building, Queen Máxima attended a meeting with entrepreneurs who shared their experiences relating to sustainability and the SME sustainability loan. Queen Máxima also spoke with administrators from various provinces and representatives of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy.
Not for daytime wear; however, she’s always smiling.
ReplyDeleteAgree! And definitely she should change her hairdresser...
DeleteThis is one outfit she should donate asap. It’s clingy and outdated for both evening and day time. Abby
DeleteJ adore le style de son haut.
ReplyDeleteLa tenue est parfaite
Froufrou
Oh Maxima why do you get the dress wrong so often? Paillettes in the daytime? A trouser and a jacket would have been more appropriate. Irene
ReplyDeleteI agree, paillettes and the hat, simply over done. MJT
DeleteI don’t understand her choice as well 🤔 simply terrible!
DeleteDressed like that she looks ridiculous, and that sort of hat.... Stefania
ReplyDeleteTerrible look...... the hair, she's completely grey without extensions and blonding. This is not a shame, she just needs a better look to be chique
ReplyDeleteI don't understand what the color of her hair has to do with anything. If she was "completely grey", dark roots would not be visible. There is nothing wrong with Maxima or anyone else wearing extensions. I get the feeling that you think that it is wrong if she does. Maxima is hardly the only woman that colors her hair, let alone royal woman, so maybe we can stop targeting her for that. Even when it has been styled, you find something negative. Her hair is an old and boring story. You say she has a " terrible look" but don't mention her clothing once. I would like to hear your thoughts on that instead.
DeleteI don't understand the choice of the hat for this occasion
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely inappropriate dress for daytime !!
ReplyDeleteJolie robe mais trop habillée pour cette journée ; je ne parle pas du bas asymétrique qui apporte une touche bizarre à son look ; je pense qu'à la place de son chapeau, un modèle plus sobre aurait mieux convenu !
ReplyDeleteThis is an odd combination. Sequins for the daytime? I love the fascinator or hat, whatever we want to call it and it coordinates nicely with the dress, but again, it leaves me wondering the level of formality of the event.
ReplyDeleteJust no.
ReplyDeleteI don't mind the top half of her outfit, not so sure of the skirt part. She is full of happiness and energy, love it! She always brings joy wherever she goes. Its splendid. She never appears to just go through the motions on any visit, what you see is genuine, full of interest in everything and everyone around her. She is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteI do like the dress, even if it's more for a cocktail party. But that's Máxima and she wears it well together with the very high heels and beautiful bag. However the hat is in my view a little bit ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteI agree. It's just the height of the hat that doesn't suit a day visit. But overall I like this outfit on Maxima. Personally I don't mind Maxima wearing sequins for a day visit. She's a queen after all :-)
DeleteTotal fashion disaster for the occasion. But yes, she's smiling, and her face expressions are over the top but, for some, that's all it counts.
ReplyDeleteYour blog is call A Kinder World, although your comment is cricitical. Would you consider becoming one of the kinder commenters on here, helping us to bring this blog back to where it used to be … positive and uplifting. I’d be grateful for your positive input, in keeping with the name of your blog. Thank you! - Cecile.
DeleteCecile? Just because my views on fashion are different from yours, it's scary that you are stalking me. Especially since you are anonymous. Shame on you.
DeleteI Ger the
ReplyDeleteThere is not one thing about her outfit, that in my opinion, is right. Not to mention the hair! I do wonder if she has a stylist/dresser or even looks in the mirror before she leaves her palace. Her smile is her best accessory.
ReplyDeleteCompletely agree
DeleteTerrible outfit. Glittery is not a daytime outfit, the hat looks silly, as does the fabric of the garment. Joan
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of this dress, but I do like the hat and her updo. css
ReplyDeleteOh dear. Did she leave her fashion sense in Belgium? She had such a streak there! This, I'm afraid, is another disaster. First of all, I think the fabric is all wrong for the occasion. Make it a tad longer and this is full-on evening wear, but not a dress to inaugurate an office. The cut is awful. Too baggy in some places, while pulling in others. And then there's this napkin dumped on her head. Firstly, I refuse to call it a hat. Secondly, it is once again placed wrong, just like the pink thing she wore the other day. Too far back and plonked awkwardly on top of a mis-matched hairstyle. If I wanted to say something nice, I guess the colour isn't bad. She's one of the lucky people with a skintone that can successfully contrast these nude shades. I still wish she'd paired it with a pop of colour. Even if it had just been dark red nails or something. Overall, it's a big no.
ReplyDelete-Nika-
There is a very meaningful difference between talking about an outfit vs talking about the person herself. It would be nice to have fashion talk in a way that respects the person. (GM)
ReplyDeleteWell said!
DeleteWell said! These comments get nastier and nastier and who are these commenters to criticise like this? And why? I checked a few of the commenters’ own blogs and there I see simply dressed people with uncoiffed hair and very basic clothes … why are they criticising a hard working elegant queen so ? Let’s be kind ! None of us need comment at all, but if we do, let’s remember this is a public blog and anyone may read it including those pictured, or their children. - Anne-Lise
DeleteAs it is always a person who wears the clothes and makes the choices the boundary between fashion statement getting personal is very small.
DeleteI.e. Queen Letizia who most times gets big applause here, off course we donot know much about her personalitynbut we do know she has great taste and takes care about what she wears.
That is why I cannot warm to Maxima: she looks great on great occasions and often poor and unkempt on visits in the country. So I think, she has no sense of fashion herself but relies on her advisors.
Nothing says "sustainability" like sequins. : /
ReplyDeleteMaxima often wears things to daytime events that most of us wouldn't even consider for a cocktail party. But in all of the years I've followed her this is the first time she's so laughably off the mark that I thought there must have been a mistake. You know, like waking up after a nap at dusk and thinking it's dawn. This is just perfectly absurd. And -- occasion excepted -- I don't like it anyway. The draping is all wrong.
Love what you say about "sustainability" and sequins 😁🤣😄
DeleteHaha, it takes talent to have such highs and lows so close to each other.
ReplyDeleteAt least the hair is up.
I remember Amalia making a remark about Maxima's fashion sense, saying that she was the best at fashion and thought dear Lord, this poor child thinks her mom is a fashion role model, well surely she was not talking about this outfit.
Come on Maxima, just before your 8 week break, surprise us with a wow outfit.
Luna
@Luna.
DeleteHold your breath, there must be a “WOW” coming up pretty soon from Queen Maxima. Maybe a royal gala or something or other.
Just when we think all’s bad from Max, she blows all the fuses with a WOW.
Love her.
Can't say I am a fan of any part of this look other than her simple chignon. Even with the sequins this is one blah outfit for Maxima--like to see her in brighter shades.
