  1. Máxima looks very good. I know that Laurentien likes bold outfits. It is her style, but..

  2. The dress is nice enough but I prefer Queen Maxima in more vibrant colours/flamboyant outfits. It’s great to see Princess Laurentien but she looks like she’s dressed to go shopping!

    Maxima looks super, great dress and cape. She knows when she wants to really look nice. Beatrixe is always looking good. I don't know about Laurentien maybe she did not get the Memo.

    I really like this dress and cape on the queen, and also the lighter makeup. Princess Laurentien wow, quite the bold look. Can’t say I like the jester patterned pants, but the blouse is nice. Her huge earrings coordinate well with the colours.A happy group of people.

    at least maxima now is not so flamboyant with too many jewelries ... like she's too overwhelmed with the position....

    Very elegant - Maxima is looking great. Not a fan of Laurentien's outfit- it looks strange and messy, no style.

    Maxima looks stunning in this ensemble (lovely regal cape, and a stylish, intricate dress and fabric - look at the close-up photo) but I agree that she wears brighter, bolder colours better.

    È bella Maxima con questi colori delicati, l’abito è adorabile. Invece la scelta di Laurentien è incomprensibile e in genere non mi piacciono mai i suoi outfit, ma stavolta è terribile…forse per essere originale si è vestita al buio?

    Maxima looks ok, but Laurentien is her ‘overdone colourful self’, both ladies would benefit from good hair advice…..

    I like Queen Maxima's outfit. Dress perhaps a little too long. Granted she pulls off vibrant colors better than any royal I observe. But I like how the switches things up and always keeps up guessing. She's definitely not a boring dresser.

      If you watch a video of Maxima arriving at an event, the cape makes perfect sense. She arrives from a warm car, sometimes after a long drive, steps out and drapes the coat or cape on for a minute or so while being photographed then walking inside, then hands it off to a helper. Putting a coat on properly, arms in sleeves etc then taking it off a minute later is more awkward and not necessary for the few minutes. - Mary

      I agree with Mary the cape makes sense, it serves a purpose. It is very handy for warmth without struggling with coat sleeves and quick removal.

    Queen Maxima is dazzling, wow!!
    Makeup and jewellery are on point.
    My only and very minor quibble is why she looks to be wearing a wonderful pair of pumps in pic 2 and then she wears mules in pic 7.
    Anyway, I'm gonna look for more pics to solve this mystery.
    Pss Laurentien ...well, just nope.
    This ia a formal occasion but she seems to be ready for a picnic.
    Princess Beatrix and the gentlemen look immaculately groomed.

      I see what you mean but on close study its just the effect of a shadow shining through the transparent skirt part of her dress on her leg that makes it look like a high instep shoe. It foxed me too.

    This Natan is surprisingly good for Maxima. I particularly like the length for her. Very flattering indeed.

    Nice, and the cape perfection!

  17. J'aurais pu donner un avis en faveur de Maxima mais sans cette cape ; à mon avis, une petite veste cintrée de couleur blanche lui aurait apporté une meilleure allure !
