On July 9, 2020, Queen Maxima of The Netherlands attended the digital award ceremony of the 2020 Appeltjes van Oranje social awards in a studio in Hilversum. Due to the corona pandemic, the traditional award ceremony at Noordeinde Palace could not take place. The prizes are given by The Oranje Fonds. The ‘Appeltjes van Oranje’ are presented annually to three social projects which successfully connect different groups of people and allow them to reconnect with society.. The theme for 2020 is: ‘Buddies for each other’.
The three winners of the ‘Appeltjes van Oranje’ receive a bronze statuette and € 15.000,-. Queen Maxima presents the prizes to the winners annually. The Oranje Fonds supports social cohesion and social integration projects such as small-scale community initiatives, mentoring projects for young people, and language programmes. Queen Maxima wore a new shirt and trousers from Natan.

Just love it.
ReplyDeleteI like the Dutch Queen Maxima she s lovely her smile and so dignified Beautiful lady God bless her
DeleteMe too , love it .
DeleteI am a fan of Queen Maxima, and I think the colour of her outfit and her smile are stunning, but not about the trim of her blouse. I think it isn´t elegant in any sense.
ReplyDeleteWay better than the big bird yellow she wore a couple of days ago
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous!!!
ReplyDeletethe hem of the top is just not good. sloppy comes to mind, as is the neckline/collar. And her hair, yes, it is still a mess, though after someone brushed it for her, it look a wee bit better.
ReplyDeleteWonderful. Love the draping and flow of this.

I love the colour of the ensemble and it is suits her very well. Pity after the first pictures she changed the soft matching colour of her lipstick.
ReplyDeleteIn or out of the trousers is a bit weird; the beige sjawl? Just to have something matching the colour of the shoes?
color, shoes quite good! a bit weird
ReplyDeleteThe pyjama's should have stayed under her pillow
ReplyDeleteLove the color and fluidity of this outfit it makes her look very svelte and emphasizes those great long legs, I wish that she hadn't tucked the top in that manner, not sure if it's already designed like that, or she is following the front-tucked trend, which in my opinion only works with jeans or sporty clothing.
ReplyDeleteI think that she needs to get away from that silly habit of carrying a shawl that doesn't seem necessary and gives a clutter look. Of course, those are minor details, I think she looks very pretty.
It is so lovely to have you and your sensible measured comments back Cherry. Personally I love the colour which brighten Maxima's smile and her jewels are beautiful and well matched. Looking at the outfit further I really do not like the styling, sadly, which so often happens with Natan's designs.
DeleteCherry Blossom!!! You are back!!! You have been missed in the blog, hope you are well and sound
DeleteLuna
I absolutely agree with you Cherry. That tuck makes the outfit more casual that what it should be. I am torn on the Jerry, part of me thinks it looks dated, part of me likes it. But this outfit is far better than some of late.

Stunning,
ReplyDeleteLove this color and she looks great with my one exception. I think too that the drape/hem of the blouse gives it a sloppy, pj look that takes away from an official visit outfit. But wow I just love that color, that and navy/white are two summer faves for me.

Alors là, Maxima est tout à fait ravissante ; superbe silhouette dans cette chemise et pantalon de la même couleur. Bien maquillée et coiffée ; j'aime beaucoup ses chaussures Nude. Très jolies les boucles d'oreilles en forme de fleurs en corail ? que nous voyons aussi sur son collier de perles en quartz blanc ?!
ReplyDeletePhotos N°4 and N°6 are superb.
ReplyDeleteLove the pant suit. Bold and beautiful.
Question ???? does she ever have a break from work?
She looks a little tired with the pale lipstick. The darker color lipstick makes the color of her eyes pop and brightens her face. The color pink then looks more flattering.
ReplyDeleteActually, I think Queen M looks great in this color, and it fits her rather well. As someone said, her hair looks good in most of the pictures....but the best thing about her is her smile.
ReplyDeletePretty monochrome look. The pants could be a touch longer. I’m glad she wore the top tucked in like on the model. Gorgeous earrings and necklace.
ReplyDeleteAgree with Anon@ 8:27 pm about the lipstick.
E.B.B.
To me length is ok.
DeleteMy goodness she needs to do something with her hair, what a mess.
ReplyDeleteToday I disagree with anon1:05 about the hair; it is ok or not bad (I am still hesitating) her hair has nice been brushed; of course still what rather unconventional and free style but that is her choice.
DeleteWow that is such a pretty colour on Maxima!! I love it, she looks fab.
ReplyDeleteFashion & colors: beautiful. But with a well made "bob" she would look stunning!
ReplyDeleteThe first thing I noticed was the darker, more excessive makeup. Her eye makeup is darker but is done quite nicely, but when her blush and lip color are also so heavy, it is too much. A lighter blush and lip color would have been better and really set off her eyes. Her hair is a bit better here as it looks like she tried to style and comb it. While this is a good color on her, the strange tuck-in effect of the shirt is not complimentary.
ReplyDeleteMeghan
This is a beautiful colour very becoming on the Queen. I love the pants, they suit her so well.
ReplyDeleteCan’t believe it. Almost universal praise for a Maxima outfit and no seriously unpleasant comments. My day is looking up. Love the colour of this outfit, and the neckline of the top. Don’t think the half tucked in look is good on anyone but a very minor gripe. Great look
ReplyDeleteJe m'interroge sur la nature des perles.
ReplyDeleteVos réponses seront les bienvenues.

DeleteJe pense sans en être certaine que les perles sont en quartz blanc ; peut-être que nous pourrons avoir un autre avis ?! Magnifique les fleurs Corail du fermoir du collier ainsi que les boucles d'oreilles ; j'adore !
Merci infiniment Tulipe33.
ReplyDeleteIl me semble que ne ne sont pas des perles de culture.
