    Now you see how Máxima looks when she is focussing on "Less is More". Beautiful well tailored simple black suit with a statement brooch. Really perfect. Hair well combed.

    1. I think the classical suit is navy blue. The brooch !? it would not be my choice, but she can keep something of her own style.

    I think she looks good and looks professional. Even the ginormous brooch isn’t too distracting. I assume its costume jewellery? Km

  3. Plain and perfectly appropriate but I much prefer Queen maxima at her more flamboyant.

    1. Well yes and no. Her flamboyancy can be a bit over the top at times.
      But she"s almost made a trade mark of the "Maxima Look".
      What ever way, I love her to death.

  4. I think her brooch is a bit large but I do like her earrings. The queen looks lovely, and her smile is wonderful. Secretary Yellen is dwarfed by her. I wonder if that provoked their laughter. Very nice.

  5. Uhmmmm...beautiful suit that is very appropriate. Nice earrings, good hair, and her powerhouse smile. That...brooch is massive and is overkill. Half of it would have been a much better look. If she can't break it up, she should wear it as belt buckle or put it at the back of a drawer.

    It's a wonder the broach did not make the Queen fall over forward. It looked overly large and did not go with the rest of her quiet lovely outfit. Thankfully, she had her hair brushed well and she looked lovely today.

    The spot where this great brooch is placed on the top is not good, it is clashing with the cut of the collar.
    HMis dressed here in a style that is not hers.

    Its quite surprising to see Queen Maxima in black, she's more colorful usually, but she added some bling with that oversized brooch. Not bad look but not something special either. Her smile is always so engaging, make me want to smile too.

    She has the same cheeks as Mary and the same miracle has happened to her….being more slender than twenty years ago, with fuller cheeks, however.

  10. Beau costume qui est parfait mais je trouve que sa broche était trop imposante ; plus de discrétion aurait mieux valu ; par contre, j'aime ses boucles d'oreilles qui doivent être à clips ?! Mais qu'a t-elle fait à ses cheveux ? J'adore l'effet obtenu !

  11. This is a well put together ensemble. I even like the large brooch. She looks stylish and elegant. Her smile is infectious, she seemed very engaging and happy, lovely.

    I quite like QM's outfit, large brooch included! It makes me wonder if those who consider the brooch too large would have made remarks when it wasn't a brooch but a piece of embroidery or appliqué of this size.

  13. A brooch is old-fashioned, as some bloggers have claimed? Complete rubbish. The look is fantastic, in fact very trendy.

      Maxima accessorizing with a brooch does not change the fact that brooches are not exactly on trend, but they can be fun or very meaningful, like when the Queen chooses specific brooches. Maxima would accessorize with bottle caps if she could. The lady loves big and bold jewelry, sometimes her appearance becoming more gaudy than anything. I have a particular fondness for her giant critter pins. I don't know anyone else that could successfully wear them. I secretly wish she would secure her order sashes with spiders or beetles. I love that she is not bound by imaginary "royal rules", but feels free to be herself. Of course she makes a lot of questionable choices, but it is who she is and why we love her. ~d

    Queen Maxima looks very beautiful in this outfit. Depending on the picture, I cannot see it very well but sometimes the color seems to be navy blue and sometimes black. The top is a tad too short but overall a good looking ensemble.
    I think it is not a brooch but costume jewelry like somebody said earlier. I saw this way of embellishing clothes in fashion magazines during winter. Maxima's hair looks healthier and I think she did not use hair extensions this time.

    1. Dear Anonymous, A brooch is a brooch, whether made of precious metal or costume jewelery, it is an item pinned to your clothing, nothing else.

    This is her finest hour, thinking she is very important. The smile has become her trademark.
