On January 21, 2025, Queen Máxima officially opened the National Education Exhibition at the Royal Jaarbeurs in Utrecht. During the plenary opening, Queen Máxima, as the honorary chair of the MIND Us Foundation, delivered a speech. The National Education Exhibition is the largest trade fair for education in the Benelux, covering areas such as childcare, primary education, after-school care, and secondary education.
This year, the National Education Exhibition focuses on AI, diversity and equal opportunities, mental well-being, job satisfaction, and technological innovations. The exhibition will take place from January 21, to January 25, 2025. MIND Us aims to enable young people to manage their mental health, develop resilience, and know where to find help when needed.
It fits well, though I don’t like the leather skirt. The boots are nice, and the brooch is quirky and fun
ReplyDeleteSame thought.
DeleteSa broche me fait fuir
ReplyDeleteFroufrou
Anche a me!
DeleteRossella 🖤
Tell me I am colour blind. Not enough that leather skirts that long (longer than knee length) cannot look good, they are stiff, even if the leather is high quality. And she pairs it with a top with the same colour and stiffness as the skirt - it gives me sore eyes. And the snake - I can't help but LOL and love her nevertheless, because that smile is never stiff or snakey.
ReplyDeleteHer simile is indeed never snakey, neither her actitud.
DeleteLuna
But I doubt the sincerity of those smiles
DeleteAnon 12:44: this is a tricky thing to say on these pages ( I silently agree shhh)
DeleteQ. Max is truly one of a kind. I wouldn’t wear a snake brooch to an event that promotes mental health for young people but maybe the Dutch don’t have any phobias about reptiles? As for the outfit, it’s a flattering colour but the fit of the skirt seems off - too long and wide. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteThis is a good color for Maxima. I know the top is Natan, and I assume the skirt is as well. It may or may not be real leather. The skirt has been a very versatile piece in her wardrobe. She has styled it in several different ways in the past. The snake brooch is fantastic. I read that it is a vintage Sardi piece. Maxima is the perfect person to wear critter jewelry.
ReplyDeleteLike the top including the quirky brooch but not a fan of the skirt. She is a star
ReplyDeleteI do love that pin. It's fabulous. I like the cut of the top but not the fabric. I would have preferred to see it in a fabric that drapes more. The skirr doesn't move well at all. I like the color of the skirt and top. If a skirt is needed for the event, maybe something in a nice knit?
ReplyDeleteLove Max but this outfit is ill fitting and terrible. She’s got a bra smile though.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful smile…not bra…oooops!
DeleteMaxima has worn this skirt at least two, possibly three times, before in recent weeks. Is it leather, or is it some other type of artificial, manmade material? I like these tones of green. They're fresh and pleasing to the eye. The top is nice too.

I think we’ve seen the skirt here multiple times in the past few years and it doesn’t tend to get our most favourable reviews. However the fact that she wears and rewears it must mean she enjoys it and more power to her. I’m sure if we were there in the room with her we’d be focused on her presence, kindness and intelligence and the outfit would be secondary. Which is what clothes should be.
ReplyDeleteHmmmm but you notice her and how she is dressed first then on her presence. As they say first impression
DeleteJ'aime beaucoup le haut sur lequel Maxima arbore une broche serpent ; à mon humble avis, je verrais bien une jupe en tissu de couleur terracotta afin de la combiner avec ses bottes camel !
ReplyDeleteJe vous prie, une personne peut-elle me faire savoir ce que connote cette broche ?
ReplyDeleteMerci.
I could live with the outfit, although it's too much of a leather: boots, skirt, then the green top, which adds to the colour block: not my cup of tea, but Maxima being quite a tall and well-toned lady can pull that off. The snake, with all due respect, is a bit too large for me and too real to ignore...
ReplyDeleteYou love it or you loathe it: I donot think there is an inbetween for her exuberant choices
ReplyDeleteAgree !!
DeleteI have to say that the snake makes me cringe, it looks so real. I like the green of the outfit, even though the top looks a bit to stiff and doesn't fit very well. Helena
ReplyDeleteQ. Max is not really publicity material for Dutch hairdressers
