King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima are making a state visit to South Africa between the dates of October 18 and 20 2023 at the invitation of President Cyril Ramaphosa. On October 18, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima arrived at Waterkloof air base in Pretoria. The King and Queen Maxima visited the Blesbokspruit Wetland Reserve. The King and Queen then visited the Apartheid Museum.
Maxima looks great. I love the deep blue colour and the red splashes of the hat, gloves and shoes. My only quibble is a matter of proportion: given her lovely long legs together with her high heels, I'd have had the dress just a tiny bit longer to just below her knees. Otherwise it looks like the dress is a bit short. With lower heels it would be fine. But she still look fab.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to what else she'll be wearing during this state visit.

La longueur de cette robe chemisier bleu-marine élégamment boutonnée convient bien à la silhouette de Maxima surtout avec des accessoires de couleur orange jusque dans les gants !
ReplyDeleteThe Queen looks fabulous, love the Navy color, and red accessories. Very stylish and elegant.
ReplyDeleteUsually with state visits, we see Q Maxima at her best.
ReplyDeleteShe is certainly off to a good start with today's outfit.
Absolutely stunning
ReplyDeleteNice look for Q Maxima. css
ReplyDeleteThis is a serious but stylish outfit that has some color interest but does not overshadow the event.
ReplyDeleteNice outfit. Smart and not too exuberant for the occasion. I’m with Anon 9 13 in thinking that a skirt length just a tiny bit longer would have looked even better

I'll join in if I may and say that the skirt needs to be just a teeny-weeny bit longer.
DeleteMost gorgeous outfit I have seen on her in veryyyyyy long time absolutely beautiful outfit would look even much much more beautiful on a taller slimmer female.
ReplyDeleteShe's gorgeous in this outfit! I love the pop of color with the accessories!!
ReplyDeleteAgree the royal couple looks very good. I think her accessories are orange, not red. Orange represents The Netherlands so that was my default.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers in the bouquet are Proteas.
ReplyDeleteI think their origin is South African but certainly from a hot climate.
The plant survives in extreme climate conditions such as one finds in South Africa.
Queen Maxima is in a repeat dress from 2009 by Dutch designer Jan Taminiau. The accessories are orange and not red. And the length of the dresses was shorter in 2009 than now. But I think she made a good choice to arrive in this dress on her 1st day in a hot country. Rose
ReplyDeleteI like the blue dress with orange accesories. She looks good.
ReplyDeleteI viewed the arrival of the royal couple in Pretoria, great.
ReplyDeleteAn institutional, formal welcome given by officials and authorities.
I like the contrast navy dress/ red- orange accessoires.
The King looks also good and well groomed.
