On Wednesday, November 13, 2024, Queen Máxima of the Netherlands made a working visit to the Ipse de Bruggen care institution in Zoetermeer as part of the 'Pensioen3daagse' initiative by the Money Wise Platform (Wijzer in Geldzaken). Ipse de Bruggen provides care services for people with intellectual disabilities. The theme of the visit was the pension gap between men and women. In the Netherlands, retired women have, on average, 40% less pension income than men (EU Pension Adequacy Report 2024). Queen Máxima serves as the honorary chair of the Money Wise Platform (Wijzer in Geldzaken).
I am not opposed to this mustard color, but this is too much. I think one piece in this color would have been enough. Wearing a different color coat to break up all of that yellow would have helped. I don't think the shoes look right either. I would have preferred seeing the toe of a pump peaking out of these trousers than this more casual shoe/boot.
ReplyDeleteYes indeed !
DeleteOh dear--too much of one color here! I'll stick with the top because the trousers are too ill-fitting (rare with Queen Maxima). Queen Maxima is able to pull off this mustard color but I wish she had worn a different color of trousers--she has some brown or black trousers that would have looked so much better. I'm on the fence about the coat but that might be because there's too much mustard here.

J’admire parfois l’audace vestimentaire de Maxima. Mais ici je n’aime pas les pantalons trop longs et trop larges. Ni les cheveux négligés de la reine.
ReplyDeleteIt looks to be a mustard color, and she wears it well. Her ensemble fits well, she looks good.
ReplyDeletethe trousers are to long, a few inches shorter and it would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteWay too much mustard yellow. Maxima don't need to worry about not being seen, she can be seen a mile away.

Hellepie, de hair stylist had geen tijd.
ReplyDeleteLike the colour, but without the coat you can see the illfitting trousers and top.
ReplyDeleteThe pants are too long, well they are not, it is just because she doesn't wear her high heels today but lower and thicker heels. When she wears her stiletto's she receives comments too.
ReplyDeleteHer hair : it is washed but it is not styled. She has damaged hair and it is not possible for anyone, queen or not, to call a stylist every morning to do her hair with false hair pieces like she does for special occasions. She should get up in the middle of the night to be ready in time.
It is much yellow (mustard) yes, but Queen Maxima likes monochromatic looks, she does it with burgundy too.
I think she brought the sunshine we are missing during 14 days now. She is the sunshine in the gray sky of the Netherlands and Belgium.
Why bother to dress up and wear make-up if you don’t even bother to take care of your hair ?
ReplyDeleteYou are right. This can be said of more RL but it is always the same royal you are picking on. I do not find it fair.
DeleteHer hair has changed in recent years. It used to be much thicker and healthier. Since you do not know the cause of this change, you should have some compassion. Would you say these things to a man who goes bald? I wouldn't think so. Women have hair thinning as well. Age and health play a factor.
DeleteTo anon 12.13 this is my first comment regarding her hair.
DeleteTo anon 15.xx: this is nonsense, she can wear wigs or hairpieces like she sometimes does, get a good haircut, stop using chemicals to dye her hair, use a hairbrush in the morning … I do not pick on someone who has a medical problem or hasn’t got the means to find a solution. I guess she can afford a hairbrush …
Jolie couleur moutarde mais son look aurait été parfait avec par exemple un manteau marron foncé - De nouvelles boucles d'oreilles ?!
ReplyDeleteShe doesn't understand the concept of less is more.
