On October 10, 2024, Princess Beatrix attended the opening of the exhibition 'Reigning Queens' by Andy Warhol at Paleis Het Loo in Apeldoorn. The exhibition features the 'Reigning Queens' series by artist Andy Warhol. The colorful pop art series consists of screen prints of four iconic queens. The series 'Reigning Queens' was created by Andy Warhol in 1985. The 'royal edition' consists of sixteen screen prints with diamond dust.
This edition of 'Reigning Queens' includes four colorful portraits of Queen Beatrix during her reign. In addition to the Dutch queen, it also portrays Elizabeth II, Queen of the United Kingdom, Queen Margrethe II of Denmark, and Queen Ntombi Tfwala of Swaziland, the current kingdom of Eswatini. The exhibition 'Reigning Queens' will be on display at Het Loo Palace from October 12, 2024, to January 1, 2025.
Princess Beatrix looks so good here! Her jacket is beautiful--the embroidery and trim are exquisite. I also love seeing her different hairstyle--the pouffiness is more restrained than her usual big bouffant style. She is also looking so engaged in the portraits--and she looks great with her own. It must be fascinating for her to see her own, her mother's, and her dear friend (Queen Elizabeth II) portrayals in this artistic style.

Agree !!
DeleteI love this pantsuit on Q. Bea. It fits well and looks comfortable and appropriate for the event. The portraits (done in 1885) are very flattering and it must be fun for her to see them again. I see a strong resemblance to the current Crown Princess! (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteThis is a fun exhibit! Beatrix's hair looks softer than usual. It is a nice change. I wonder if she changed it because she knew she would be seeing portraits of herself that are decades old, and her hair would have looked the same. Her portraits, along with the other queens portraits, are beautiful.
ReplyDeleteFormer Queen (now Princess) Beatrix her hairstyle has changed since several years. It is not the bouffant hairdo anymore she had when she was still queen. I must say that her hairdresser did a wonderful job this time.
DeleteI think her hair has the same basic shape for decades. It was always bigger when she wore a tiara, but it has not varied that much otherwise. Her hairstyle has always had the same forward curl in the front, always without a part, and round in shape. Her stylist did do a very nice job this time.
DeleteTrès belle veste ! Les broderies argentées rajoutent une petite touche de chic, c'est une tenue qui serait parfaite aussi pour une soirée de gala, avec déjà un petit air de Noël. J'aime rarement les tenues de Beatrix mais là j'aime bien ! Paloma.
ReplyDeleteI always like the kinky way the ex queen combines her trousers and shoes.

I think Pss Beatrix has a good sense of the silhouettes that look nice on her and are comfortable. The fabric and detailing of the top and cape/jacket are lovely. The variation in her hairstyle is flattering.
ReplyDeleteI love Pss Beatrix's engagement at events. Her smile seems truly genuine.
