  1. Wow, beautiful dress. However, the Queen’s hair on a bad day looks better than the lady in the white jacket.

    1. The lady in the white jacket gives more about changing the world with a bioplastic that is made from a complex chemical process that she helps invent and produce than you care about her hair. And what is your excuse?

  9. Maxima is the Max today! Signature hat and all.
    I love this OdelaR dress that she has worn before. It suits her perfectly, and the navy blue colour makes her look every bit the regal queen. Lovely.

  11. This dress always looks great on Q Maxima. Not wild about the awkward looking cape but the dress can make up for a lot.

  12. Strange pattern on the dress, silly cape, and ridiculous hat....but that is her usual, unfortunately

    1. Ah perhaps Maxima’s not for you… whereas I love her exuberance and boldness, and think this outfit completely stunning, most especially the wonderful hat. - Grace

  13. Really good looking Queen today!
    The cape is so much better with the belt than without.
    Dark blue: classical, stylish, cannot go wrong.

  14. Isn't that outfit ( big jewelry, hat, gloves, high heels) a bit too much to open a factory?! I bet the entire outfit costs more than one year salary of those employed by the factory. Maxima needs to tone down.

    1. WHY? she is QUEEN ?!
      In my opinion that is exactly her look or do you think Queen should wear an overall because it is a fabric?

    2. Since it is a special factory there are certainly engineers and chemists etc...who work there. It is not all simple workmen. The clothes of Queen Maxima are not new, not the dress, not the hat and not the cape. The most expensive is the dress I think.

      Who are you that you think you can tel what Queen Maxima should wear or not. The clothes are not new, the jewelry she has anyway why not wear them or must she leave them at home when she is visiting a factory or something else ? If you don't like royals, nobody is pushing you to give your opinion here. If you cannot tell us what you like or not about her outfit, please say nothing at all.

    4. Sans nom 12 : 37
      Quelle agressivité pour sans nom 07 : 20.
      Chacun ici a bien le droit de donner son avis, qu'il soit positif ou négatif. On n'est pas obligé d'avoir la même opinion, ni d'être en extase devant chaque tenue.
      Pourquoi dès qu'une personne a un commentaire différent des autres elle se fait systématiquement rejeter ? C'est regrettable.
      Je trouve, moi aussi, que cette tenue est excessive pour une usine.
      Un tailleur-pantalon serait plus approprié.
      Mais Maxima adore en faire des tonnes. C'est son style.
      Tout le monde n'est pas obligé d'adorer.
      Mais il est vrai que sur ce blog il faut suivre le mouvement et être toujours bien lisse et politiquement correct !
      Par conséquent, comme j'aime rarement les tenues de Maxima, je préfère ne plus commenter ici (mais je n'en pense pas moins : ça s'appelle la liberté de penser).
      Paloma.

    5. P. S : j'ajoute qu'un monde à la pensée unique où tous deviennent des moutons, sans avoir le droit d'exprimer des opinions différentes, serait un bien triste monde (ça s'appelle le totalitarisme). Puissions-nous en être préservés. Paloma.

  15. Belle silhouette dans cette robe déjà portée ; à mon humble avis, si ce style de chapeau lui convient à merveille, je le trouve un peu trop volumineux !

  16. Without the lace appliqué (at least on the sleeve) this look would be absolutely perfect. But it is still a very classic, regal and elegant look. Maxima at her best.
