On the second day of their state visit to Germany, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima visited the cupola of the Reichstag in Berlin. Then, the King and Queen visited the Gropius Bau, a museum of modern art in Berlin. Afterwards, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima visited the Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel at the Bundeskanzleramt in Berlin. Dutch King and Queen are currently in the Federal Republic of Germany on a state visit at the invitation of President Frank-Walter Steinmeier.












I like QMaxima's hats generally but there are times I think she doesn't consider whether her host can see her face, whether anyone can stand within speaking distance or be photographed...it just seems odd at times and this is one of those times. Also I dislike the way the hat fits her head - in that it doesnt - more that it landed there and she's too gracious to take it off

Ze wil altijd in de gaten lopen, maar slaat nu de plank mis.
ردحذفIs die hoed vast genaaid aan de pruik? Beetje lachwekkend.
Hm! What to say, excess about almost everything, hat, transparency of the fabric. I am only fully positive about the hairstyle and earrings. Not sure how the finishing of the hemline is supposed to be.
ردحذفI agree completely!

Très belle dans cette robe avec un haut/bustier recouvert par son double-voilage mais celui-ci lui écrase la poitrine en donnant l'impression qu'elle ne porte pas de soutien-gorge adéquat ; cela s'est déjà vu avec d'autres toilettes - Spectaculaire son chapeau porté sur ses cheveux divinement bien coiffés ; félicitations à sa coiffeuse - Veste/pantalon chez Madame Merkel pour ne pas changer, avec juste un petit collier !
ردحذفWow! Love the dress, hair is perfection and although the hat is totally OTT, It is just wonderful. Hoping Queen Maxima can keep this up for any further events on this state visit.
ردحذفThe hat !
حذفThe Queen Mum* must be turning in her grave with jealousy.
She was the Queen of hats.
*Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon the mother of Queen Elizabeth II
Her dress is pretty but is totally overshadowed by the large, flowered, ostentatious hat....just no.

I love everything - hair, dress, shoes... all except for the birds nest! Maxima how could you???
ردحذف- Anon 9:13
It cannot possible be a birds nest. No self respecting bird would build something that off balance. However when it first made its appearance on the side of her head at the garter knight ceremony when King William was made a garter knight by Queen Elizabeth II it looked rather large but quite nice. For once that outfit with wide belt looked perfect. However this "meh" dress I did not like the first time around and like even less now.
حذفIt is a garden party dress and hat and not one you wear on a more business type of engagement.
OMG! The hat has to go!
ردحذفReally Maxima! This is not the horse race at Royal Ascot!
ردحذفAngel Merkel is looking at like, what is that on your head!

The dress is very nice, her hair is marvelously done, the hat is not necessary to make the outfit complete and gets all the attention.
ردحذفJosh
when are the birds hatching in that nest on her head ? Liz
ردحذفThe dress is blergh and boring, the hat is at least exciting. Wearing something like this, she is just true to herself, being Máxima who keeps to surprise us. (-Ann.)
ردحذفShe wore this hat during the state visit to the UK. They were visiting Ascott by that time and a hat like this is appropriate for that occasion. But here meeting the very important and interesting German Chansellor Merkel this hat is really an insult. It blocks communication and sight.
ردحذفGiven that people still have to wear masks, I think they are a much bigger barrier to communication than any hat!!
حذفOh nein!
ردحذفshes the nicest!
ردحذفRidiculous!
ردحذفWhat started fashion wise out so good on this visit, is now topped with this strange oversized creation on her otherwise impeccable coiffed hair.
ردحذفI'm not a fan of transparent dresses for daytime wear either, too fussy.
I think we have seen this dress before, never really liked the colour, and it does not flatter Maximas figure like the one she wore on their arrival in Germany.
That hat is too much !
ردحذفLoved this entire ensemble when worn to Ascot, including the hat which sat at a better angle than today, and with her hair worn down looked enchanting and fitted the occasion. However, I would have chosen something different for this state visit. Everything else she has worn so far has been cheerful and summery. I think of this neutral color palette as more suited to a cloudy day. Earrings are stunning. S.M.
ردحذفHer hair looks lovely!
ردحذفDay occasion: dress semi sheer, hat over the top, shoes/stockings blech. A definite mess for me.... jj
ردحذفNot this hat.
حذفP.
No, not this what, Maxima.
ردحذفP.
Love it. Especially the hat - but then I'm English and love a good over the top bit of headgear.
ردحذفBee
At someone of a similar age to Maxima I don't like to be ageist however, the over the top ensembles, accessories, hats etc. are not travelling well with the Queen as she ages. Adopting a more simple style would be far more flattering. Less is more as we age.
ردحذفEl vestido , zapatos y bolsos bien. El sombrero según lo vi pensé en un nido de pájaros. Demasiado exagerado.
