  1. Toute vêtue de bleu-roi, Maxima nous montre une magnifique silhouette - Je n'aime pas du tout ce qu'elle porte sur la tête ; dans un style plus sobre, cela aurait mieux convenu !

      I love the royal blue outfit from head to toe, especially and including the hat. Wow this colour is a knockout and particularly beautiful in velvet. I would be very happy if we see this blue hue in affordable everyday fashion this year.

      @Anonymous 14:59 - Hear, hear! This shade of blue is gorgeous and it can be hard to find, at least in my experience. Here’s hoping with you that it’s coming back into fashion.

      This is a ‘Wow’ outfit in my opinion. Gorgeous colour and beautiful style. I love the hat. She looks amazing. I do feel sorry for the Cypriot First Lady who looks really dowdy in comparison

  3. Mmh? Velvet during day time? Looks beautiful I just think is a cocktail/evening dress not a day one. But accessories are all spot on

      Perhpas there is a function immediately after that warrants the dress

    2. Exactly my thoughts. She looks great, but something is wrong. The pattern of the dress is beautiful and is very flattering. But velvet for a day time occasion isn't suitable in my opinion. A bit over the top. But that's Máxima's style most of the time.

    Maxima looks very good in this Greek design. The draping is very flattering to her figure and she wears the blue so well. I'm not surprised by Maxima's brooch placement.

    Queen Maxima made an excellent choice by wearing this beautiful velvet dress on the first day of their visit to Cyprus. It is not the first time she wears a dress by Costarellos. She has this choice in common with Queen Mathilde who also wears Costarellos design now and then.

    It's a beautiful fantastic dress for the festivities in december. But no not at Cyprus where the day temperatures are about 20 degrees C

    I’m no fan of QM but she looks amazing in this deep blue dress. I also like her accessoiries and hat.

    This blue takes me back to her husband's inauguration day a decade ago. She wore a similar blue with the towering Dutch sapphire tiara. I miss max in glam mode and happy to see her bring it back.
