Sultan Haitham bin Tariq Al Said of Oman is making a state visit to the Netherlands at the invitation of King Willem-Alexander. On the evening of April 15, 2025, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima hosted a state banquet at the Royal Palace in Amsterdam in honor of Sultan Haitham bin Tariq. The event was also attended by Crown Princess Amalia.
At the state banquet, Queen Máxima wore a dress specially designed by Pakistani fashion designer Mahpara Khan. The design features Mughal patterns fused with traditional dapka, naqshi, resham, and gota embroidery. Queen Máxima had previously worn this dress at the wedding reception of Jordan’s Prince Hussein and Princess Rajwa.
Queen Máxima wore the Württemberg Ornate Pearl Tiara, along with the insignia of the Order of Oman. Crown Princess Amalia of the Netherlands wore the Mellerio Ruby Tiara, paired with the Order of the Renaissance of Oman.
CA is in Safyaa it seems to be her go to designer as we’ve seen her looking fabulous in a few of the dresses.The color is beautiful and suits her coloring.
ReplyDeleteQM dress is a repeat from the Jordanian royal wedding, it’s a gorgeous dress and worthy of a repeat wear. Her Pearl drop earring are breath taking.All the jewels on show tonight are divine. I believe the Dutch jewellery collection is one of the best.
Lowri.
Surprise state visit in the Netherlands today!!! I'm glad to see the Princess of Orange joining her parents for tonight's banquet.
ReplyDeleteQueen Maxima: While her Majesty look very regal and elegant, her outfit is a little too monochromatic for my taste.
Princess Amalia: The princess is the clear winner. She looks absolutely stunning tonight. Her hairstyle, dress, ruby tiara and jewels all go great together. That soft pink color really suit her. It's nice to see Princess Amalia developing her own style.
She officially debuts in the Mellerio Ruby Tiara! There is a picture of a much younger princess amalia trying on this piece and now seeing her now it's a full circle moment indeed.
Máxima is absolutely gorgeous.That dress is fascinating. It matches beautifully the tiara, the earrings and the necklace. Perfection. Amália is ok, but her hair is a no with the tiara. And the sultan is also elegant. Only the colours of the turban are at odds with the clothing.
ReplyDeleteI think Q. Max has done extremely well here - choosing an ornate dress that minimizes the large Omani chain, then adding pearl and diamond statement jewels to finish the look. It’s a subtle colour palate but it packs a punch. CPA looks wonderful too. Her gown is a flattering colour and a good fit, and the choice of the Mellario rubies is excellent. They complement the dress and the sash. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteThe Princess of Orange is the star here. She looks fantastic. I just wish she had her hair up to make the whole look perfect. Queen Maxima looks classically elegant but is too colourless to count as one of her best
