    Much more professional in hair style, except for the bit sticking out on (her left side of head, behind the ear).

      You are still finding something to complain about? I think she looks fantastic. Funny that you make no mention of her clothes. The obsession with her hair has gotten ridiculous. She is so much more than her hair.

      I agree with anon00:46 ! If there were a comment to make, it could just be some overdressing, since a farm environment is quite near.

      Maxima is human. Also Maxima doesn't seem to stress about her hair. She clearly doesn't have voluminous hair like some but she makes up for that with her amazing wardrobe and jewelry

      You surely have thick and healthy blonde hair like a model.not to mention your fashion sense, allure and positivity.
      You always smile and are engaging just like Maxima😂

    Je reconnais que Maxima a de l'allure avec ce style de grand chapeau, ce qui n'est pas donné à beaucoup de dames ; j'adore ses bijoux dont les boucles d'oreilles et la broche très bien choisies !

    Far too elegant, especially the wide-brimmed hat for this visit to an agricultural company.

      Ah can a queen be accused of being far too elegant?! When the queen is present, she sets the tone, and we fit in with her royal choices and not the other way around, no?! She’s the queen! In this case the others accompanying her on the tour seem elegantly suited; and having worked in global industrial headquarters I can say its normal that there’ll be elegantly dressed executive workers sharing the corridors with factory workers in overalls, everyone getting on with their work appropriately dressed for their roles.

      I agree with Anon 06:51. The party accompanying her is dressed well. Don't forget the decades that QEII made visits exactly like this and would be dressed similarly. We never saw similar comments about how she looked. Maxima is visiting this business because they received an award from the King Willem I Foundation. She looks like I would expect a queen to look when visiting a company that was recently recognized by a foundation that she is the honorary chairperson of.

      Agree with Anon06 51 and 15 14. Queen Maxima is in "can't win' territory. She's criticised for bad hair or sloppy outfits and yet when she turns up looking amazing as she does here, there's criticism of that too. Those waiting to see her want to see someone who has made an effort to look their best,. Also she is making a presentation so her role is a formal one. The hat is superb!. There's another lady wearing a hat behind her in the first pic. Presumably someone else there in a formal capacity as opposed to a working one.

      Being too elegant versus overdressed : that is not the same. Elegant refers globally to the person, overdressed refers to the choice for this special occasion.

      To Anon 06:51 A queen is not Almighty God - maybe to you but not to everyone. Her sartorial choices can be criticised. I like Maxima and think that she does a great job but sometimes she is overdressed. In this case she is visiting an agricultural company, a rural business. How does this elegant hat fit in? It's clearly not adequate, given the event.

      It is not just an agricultural company. If you read the text it says an " internationally operating cooperative". Queen Maxima was there as the "Honorary chair of the King Willem I foundation". The "Nederlandsche Bank" in 1958 took the initiative to collaborate with the several organizations connected to the business sector and was supported by the foundation.
      The other representatives men and women were also dressed at their best. The mayor of the town was there too. Agriculture is still one of the most important business in the Netherlands. To me Queen Maxima was dressed appropiately.

    I like the colour chosen by Queen Maxima: burgundy. Always a good choice!

    The queen is luminous. And this hairstyle suits her.

    Maxima’s earrings are gorgeous. Red is a good color for her, but this is almost too much red with the gloves, hat, everything red.

    Love the outfit, though as suggested maybe too dressed up for the occasion, but hey, she's the queen. This is her signature look and she pulls it 1000% each time she dresses like that. My small remark would be that perhaps it's too early for a straw hat? Anyway, her radiance and high spirits as usually compensate for any fashion faux-pas she makes.

      Les capelines en paille se portent au printemps et en été, les chapeaux plus chauds (fedora par exemple) sont pour l'automne et l'hiver.
      C'est étonnant qu'elle ne soit pas au courant.
