    Another smart business like and entirely appropriate outfit for Queen Maxima. Glad she's stuck with her heels to give the outfit an elegant look.

    I have a skirt made like that dress, same shade of grey with a pattern/plaid.

    I think the black pin/broach would look much better at the waist of the dress where the pleating and draping of the fabric meet. Giving the illusion that it's what's holding it all in place.

      Love this suggestion. Feels like what these blog comments should be about generally … all kind, interesting suggestions, no personal critique on humans who are just doing their best. Thank you! A-L

      Very good suggestion about the broach. It seems a bit heavy and is pulling at its present location. I think the dress is great!

      Thank you anonymous 06:35. That's why I miss the "satirical splendor" blog/site so much. :(

    I want to like this dress but something about the high waist, the fit, and the way it drapes on Maxima is holding me back. But I do like the black and white fine check and the simple but effective black rosette. The overall look is smart and business-like.

      Apparently there are a lot of bloggers here who are obsessed by a high waist. Queen Maxima does not have a high waist and her dress has not a high waist either. At least the pattern of her dress seems to be accepted which was not the case with Queen Mathilde's pant suit yesterday. QMax. is not afraid to try something else from time to time.
      She cannot be described as boring.

      @Anon 07:52 I'm one of Maxima's biggest fans and I've adored and supported her fun, daring and sometimes OTT styling ever since she became Queen, when others have been critical. But I don't much care for this dress on her, other than the fact that it is smart and business-like and very suitable for the day and event she is at. I'm not obsessed with high waists either. I'd rather see Mathilde in this dress.

    Maxima a une magnifique silhouette dans cette jolie robe ; sa broche originale apporte une touche élégante !

    QMax looks elegant here--again a simple dress--and I think she looks terrific. One issue I have with the dress is the drapey fabric. Sorry but just not a fan of this style feature--I think this dress would have looked better without it. Never been a fan of the brooch she's wearing--I always wish she had left it home. But her hair is perfectly styled and I do really like what I am seeing overall.

    Perfect! Only some lipstick is missing. Without her face looks a little pale...

    Gray is definitely not a good color for her. The black blob of a brooch is out of place, but at least her unhealthy hair is up.
