On August 13, 2024, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands held a reception at Huis ten Bosch Palace to congratulate the athletes who won medals in the 2024 Olympic Games that took place in Paris. The Netherlands ended its Olympic campaign with 34 medals, including 15 golds, finishing in sixth place in the medal table.
Miu Miu Shoes
The colours are nice but the neck is odd (apparently its from 2011) I really don’t like the shoes. Km
ReplyDeleteAgree! Weird shoes. The whole outfit looks a bit dated. But I guess it's good to recycle. Her hair is nice though, and she seems to bee a lovely person.
DeleteJust the medalists? Not all Olympians? Hmm.
ReplyDeleteOne can negatively comment on everything .....
Deletethe miu miu are too high, they look like pole dancers heels!
ReplyDeleteAgree. Also the open toe and exaggerated bow is not flattering.
DeleteA happy group of people. Nice dress Maxima is wearing for this event. Congratulation to the Medal winners. css
ReplyDeleteIt is so unbelievable that a small country like the Netherlands won so many medals. "Chapeau". The King and Q were enthousiastic fans at the OG itself.
DeleteNot a really flattering dress. Looks creased. And these very high shoes make her ankles look big…
ReplyDeleteyes, i have noticed this with her previous high heels, its puzzling!
DeleteHup hup from South Africa :)
ReplyDeleteWow, bravo to Q. Max for walking down those stairs in these fun red shoes! Her hair looks lovely today, and I like the outfit but wish the skirt was just a couple of inches longer. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteAgree
DeleteThese platform style shoes are worn by Princess Delphine of Belgium almost permanently.
DeleteBut for her I think they are part of her “arty” look.
In my days they were referred to as beetle crushers
This dress looks very attractive.
ReplyDeleteI love the colour and her accessories.
Exactly my thoughts.
DeleteUnfortunately there's not much I like about the style of this dress. It lacks shape and fit, and I don't like the front and back neck detail, even after seeing more pics of it on other sites. What I do like is the combo of the taupe colour with splashes of bright red. And those shoes..wow.

Tiens vous écrivez donc des critiques ? Pourtant vous ne supportez pas que j'en écrive ! Logique ... "Faites ce que je dis mais pas ce que je fais".
DeleteEt pourquoi ne réagissez-vous pas aux très nombreuses phrases critiques précédentes, puisque, d'après vous, il ne faut pas critiquer ? Bizarre ! Paloma.
@Paloma Anon 21:56 Je ne supporte pas que tu écrives des critiques ??? Je pense que « vous » ne devriez pas critiquer ??? D'où vous viennent des idées aussi ridicules? Montre-moi où j'ai dit/écrit ces choses. Allez-y.
Delete(Il semble que vous ayez une telle opinion de vous-même que vous ne voyez pas à quel point vous êtes NÉGATIF, même en énumérant soigneusement toutes les choses négatives que vous n'aimez pas dans un seul message. Faire comme vous voulez, c'est votre choix, mais pour moi, c'est ça qui est trop bizarre si vous voulez savoir.)

Like her hair pulled back. Very attractive and not distracting. Regardless of what she wears, she’s always quite attractive, but even more so when her hair is neat and tidy. Do like this King and Queen quite a lot! Seem like very nice people.
ReplyDeleteFunny shoes!
ReplyDeleteTacky shoes for a queen
ReplyDeleteAgree
DeleteMe too!
DeleteUgly shoes, nice hair!
ReplyDeleteSa robe est élégante mais son encolure a tendance à monter trop haut ; originales ses chaussures mais leur style n'est pas très flatteur !
ReplyDeleteOn the Dutch website "Modekoningin Maxima" the fashion specialist tell us that the dress is from 2011 and the shoes from 2015. They call the color of the dress "liver". The dress has been made longer in 2015. This time there was no fabric left to make it longer once again. The type of shoes by Miu Miu is fashion again in Europe this Summer. You like it or you don't like it. Queen Maxima has more muscles on her arms than before. She has a great shape and still can wear her older dresses. She is probably training every day. This year they are back from Summer holidays earlier than before. This is the first royal family in Europe who are receiving the winning athletes who participated at the Olympic games.
ReplyDeleteI really enjoyed your comment. Informative and fair and interesting - Grace
DeleteDear Anon 10:01
DeleteI remember these shoes from the ABBA era.
In fact, I had a pair and wore them with flared leg jeans.
Didn’t last long as I found them hard to walk in.
Oh! mamma mia 😀
La reine n est pas bien grande, avec ses immenses talons elle est juste à la taille du roi.
ReplyDeletePas bien grande ? Même avec des chaussures plates elle est grande. Vous oubliez que le roi Willem-Alexander est très grand. Quand on regarde bien les photo's, même avec ses talons elle est encore plus petite que le roi W.A. Quand la reine Maxima se trouve à côté de la reine Mathilde elles ont plus ou moins la même hauteur.
DeleteShe is pretty tall actually, at least 177cm. Very often wears very high heels as well! Often much taller than the people she is meeting or greeting. - Grace
DeleteElle est tres grande. J'ai rencontré la reine dans le passé
Delete16h36, c est donc bien ce que je dis. Elle n est pas si grande car avec des talons, elle dépasserait son mari. Son mari est grand mais pas très grand non plus contrairement à Felipe d Espagne.
DeleteForget the open-toes snoes and the handbag (inside the palace but not outside??) and you see the Queen how I like my Queen:
ReplyDeleteBeautifull hairdo, nice simple elegant dress .
Queen Maxima is looking very beautiful - flattering summery dress.
ReplyDeleteAda
Congratulations to the medal winners. Maxima's shoes belong in the red light district. Terrible.
ReplyDeleteI am laughing at your comment about the shoes! So true!
DeleteEdwina
All thats missing is Letizia's slip dress

Agree !!
DeleteMiu Miu Shoes have an extensive range of designer shoes, mainly for the younger fashion group.
DeleteSome of their designs can be called “provocative”
Not much in their range for older women.
Part of the Italian Prada Group, They say in their advertising blurb that 80% of their shoes are manufactured in Italy and/or Turkey with the remaining 20% made in other countries (China?).
Plenty of photos of their work if you do a bit of surfing on the net.
p.s. You’ll need about €1.000 in your purse to buy the average product in their shoe range.
Happy shopping. 😁
She's wearing an older dress, last seen in 2015. The color is drab, it's ill fitting and wrinkled, too short. It should have stayed in the closet. Along with the weird shoes.
ReplyDeleteHer hair looks good, the dress is wrinkly and oddly constructed and her shoes are tacky.
ReplyDeleteThe wrinkly dress you talk about is done with "ruching".
DeleteOften a style used for wedding gowns.
It is indeed ruching but still don’t like it.
DeleteJe constate que sur une trentaine de commentaires presque 15 écrivent des propos négatifs mais, curieusement, personne ne crie au scandale. Quand c'est moi qui écrit une critique certaines ne le supportent pas et me font la morale.
ReplyDeleteDonc : préparez vos pierres pour me lapider car je vais être négative ! Je trouve les chaussures très moches et elles me font penser à un dessin animé, par exemple celles de Minnie Mouse qui a souvent des noeuds ridicules sur ses chaussures. Paloma.
Oh Paloma. You’re just saying what you like and don't like.
DeleteThat’s O.K. by me.
What doesn’t make me happy is when people criticise the person 100% negatively and forgets this is a fashion blog.
私は彼女のベルトがお腹の上に乗っていることが気になりました。
ReplyDeleteもう少し高い位置にベルト通しを付けたらおなかの出っ張りが目立たないだろうと思います。
The Dutch team has been supported well by the Royal Family.
ReplyDeleteBravo.
Princess Alexia (or was it Princess Ariane?) should be given an honourable mention for her bubble gum blowing demonstration.
Put a nice bit of “pop” into the games.
C'était bien la princesse Alexia qui nous a fait une démonstration avec son chewing-gum ; en effet, on m'avait fait aimablement remarquée qu'Ariane nétait pas là !!
DeleteOMG what a bizar comment on Alexia. A pop into the games ? I don’t know if she was, but she looked bored. Not as good an actrice as her mum.
