On October 2, 2024, Dutch Queen Máxima opened the exhibition MODA – Moroccan Fashion Statements at the Centraal Museum in Utrecht. After the opening program, the Queen visited the exhibition and spoke with various creators about their work and inspiration. Queen Máxima also met with staff from the DAR Cultural Agency, the Centraal Museum, and residents of Utrecht with a Moroccan background. The exhibition is a collaboration between the art platform DAR Cultural Agency and the Centraal Museum.
Benchellal Ice Grey Coat
This coat (dress) looks fantastic, not so fond of the hat.
ReplyDeleteI think it is perfect for the occasion.
ReplyDeleteOh dear. Overkill seems the only word that comes to mind about Max's outfit, though the colour is lovely.

Agree with you!!!
DeleteWow! I'm not sure whether it's a good wow or an "oh no" wow! A very Queen Maxima outfit for sure I love the colour of the outfit, the hat and the hair. The collar gives a very retro 1950s/60s vibe which is super elegant. The skirt has been shortened since the more formal full length the previous time it was worn and I'm not sure the length is quite right--perhaps a little too long. Yes, I think I like it!
ReplyDeleteIt has not been shortened; part of it has been turned inside
DeleteMax looks like a vision from an old movie. Simply beautiful and elegant
ReplyDeleteExactly! And much better now that the coat has been worn before.
DeleteThe proportions of this dramatic evening coat worked beautifully before it was shortened. I can see that the shorter length is more wearable but I think it needs boots to balance out the huge sweeping wrap. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteI agree
DeleteWow! Movie star vibes. Absolutely beautiful. - Gracd
ReplyDeleteThis dress provides some warmth without wearing a coat, but I think she’s overdressed. Her hair is looking fabulous.
ReplyDeleteA Moroccan dress for a Moroccan fashion exhibition.
DeleteLijkt wel een teletubbie
ReplyDeleteHilarious comment !!
DeleteQueen Maxima looks great! The dead, wispy ends of her hair seem to be tucked under and here we see the potential of how she would look if her hair had a good trim and looked healthy. The dress is better at this length, but still not great. It is, however, perfect for a high fashion event at a museum and I am always appreciative of when a royal lady reworks an "old" dress or gown.

Hollywood actress or what?
ReplyDeleteOh no, not that bedcover again !!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree!!!
DeleteSuch a statement for a fashion exhibition! A very good idea to rewear this coatdress, slightly shortened (but not permanent) for this occassion. QM looks great and I love the hairstyle with this design of coatdress ... a 20-ties vibe
ReplyDeleteQuel changement - Ce genre de béret qui recouvre délicatement ses cheveux ramenés sur la nuque nous montre ce que cela donnerait s'ils étaient légèrement raccourcis au carré !
ReplyDeleteyou can call it a bedcover if you want ( anonymous klo 13:26) but on my opinion she looks just perfect 👏:
ReplyDeletelike an old fashion moviestar ❤️
I agree. I love how Maxima looks. Mohamed Benchellal is a Moroccan-Dutch designer. She is dressed perfectly for this event.
DeleteQuelle importance ? Certains ont envie de la voir comme une star de cinéma : pourquoi pas. D'autres voient un couvre-lit : pourquoi pas. Chacun son avis. Certains aiment la couleur rouge, d'autres pas. Certains aiment l'ananas, d'autres pas. Etc. Etc.
DeleteCertains apprécient Maxima, d'autres pas. C'est comme ça.
Mais ce n'est pas très grave. La terre ne va pas s'arrêter de tourner. Paloma.
Queen Maxima shoul be the next guest star of Emily in Paris!
ReplyDeleteThere is a picture on "Modekoningin Maxima" with the Morrocan designer of this dress Benchallal, he designed the dress for prinsjesdag 2022". I think the shorter version looks good too.
ReplyDeleteMaxima is one of the few queens who could pull off this outfit. Very dramatic, perfect for a fashion exhibit. I would love if she trimmed her hair to this length!
ReplyDeleteMrs Cleaver
Love the shortened version of the skirt with the wild jacket. The look of the faux bob along with the hat is great.
ReplyDeleteI'm going to have to look for more photos of the exhibition. Looks interesting
She looks like a dressed up barbiedoll
ReplyDeleteI love it!! She's wearing a gorgeous fashion statement to a fashion show!! Love it!! She looks FABULOUS!! The color, the collar on the dress is off the chart and I love the hat too!!
ReplyDeleteTotally agree!
DeleteShe looks incredible, love this outfit. Beautiful presentation. The color is sublime. Love her black pearls, those earrings are stunning.
ReplyDeleteNice color, the whole outfit is a bit much. The new length of the skirt is better, but still a bit too much.
ReplyDeletecss
queen Maxima is always overdressed but for this occasion,a fashion exhibition, it’s ok, love the color and her hairstyle.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful and Stylish!!!
ReplyDeleteI generally like Queen Maxima even with her lumps and bumps but I must say that this is the very first time I can really relate.
ReplyDeleteThat's exactly what I myself would wear in no time, that's one of my favourite diva styles, absolutely love It!
Perfection. all around.
Ok, I love showing off just like Q.Maxima seems to be doing in these pics.
The difference Is that I am no queen but still have that wicked ego of mine to tame everyday.
Hard work, my friends, believe me😉
She looks incredible stylish and beautiful ..
ReplyDeleteWhile it is nice to see a smaller and dignfied hat on her, the dress reminds of Viven Leigh from Gone With The Wind making a dress out of drapes.
ReplyDeleteHad to chuckle at the 'dress out of drapes' comment. Thanks for a moment of comical appreciation. Personally, I feel the hat looks like a mushroom cap sitting atop of her head. Not a fan of the look, the dress, or coat, or whatever it is, is just a total no, except for the color.
