On Friday morning, April 22, 2022, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of The Netherlands attended the opening of the King's Games 2022 (Koningsspelen 2022) at Poptahof Community School in Delft. The 10th edition of the King's Games taking place this year revolves around the importance of togetherness with the theme "Feel fit!" (Voel je fit!).
Massimo Dutti longline wool waistcoat
Massimo Dutti long dress
Belle association du blanc-cassé entre ce gilet long porté sur une robe dont j'aimerais bien voir la ceinture ; il me semble que ces boucles d'oreilles en forme de coquillages ne doivent pas être très pratiques pour téléphoner à moins qu'elles ne soient à clips ! Maxima a dû reposer ses pieds dans ces jolies ballerines bi-colores mais je la préfère quand même avec des chaussures à talons !
ReplyDeleteI agree with you about the flats, Tulipe33; they would look so much better underneath a pair of trousers. Photo 10, while walking, gives the best overview of QM's outfit and I must say, I like it on her. To me it seems her hair is a bit shorter than usual and this suits her.

Maxima looks great, beautiful outfit and her hair looks good too. One thing I would change are her shoes. Somehow that flat ones don't go well with the rest of her clothes or her legs look better on higher heels.

Agree that Maxima looks good and the outfit is a winner. The flats look awful with it, though. If the event and the terrain needed flat shoes, then perhaps she needed a different outfit, possibly trousers?
DeleteIt's a lovely outfit but I'm not so sure flats are the best shoes to wear with it. The length of the coat and inner skirt requires a heel, even a small one.
ReplyDeleteMaxima looks good but I don't think I'd have worn this outfit for this kind of event (sports). Her hair suits the outfit.

You are not a queen (at least I suppose you aren't). Wearing high heels to do sports with children on the grass is not very comfortable.
DeleteAnonym, 07:31, Higher heels does not mean high heels.
Delete@Anon 7:31: Your lack of basic knowledge about shoes is embarassing. There is a whole range of low heeled shoes between high heels and no heels; I don't have to be a queen (but I could be) to tell you that.

You can’t help but love this woman on a day like this. She looks very fine although I don’t care for the nautilus earrings. Her exuberance is contagious.
ReplyDeleteProblèmes de pieds Maxima...Pas élégants mais si relaxant. Epuisant les très hauts talons
ReplyDeletePour faire des jeux sur l'herbe avec ds enfants, c'est plus comfortable.
DeleteThe Queen looks fantastic! Great coat/dress como which looks comfortable and appropriate for the outdoor events. The shoes are a great match, and her hair style looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteThis is the best she has looked for a long time.
ReplyDeleteHopefully more of this great look to come.

I agree, she looks better and more rested than of late. She wears cream & white shades very well. The shoe debate rages, but this was an event requiring flats. I think she's a gem - never dull! Always nice to see her out and smiling.
DeleteJ
Aren't they the shoes of her mother in law?
ReplyDeleteBut seriously, I agree with other bloggers that heels are needed. with an ensemble like this.
Mi piace molto vestita così, anche il blocco di colore (adoro Dutti). Forse le scarpe sono troppo basse e legano poco con l’outfit, ma un motivo ci sarà se QM se non ha il suo tacco 15 😊
ReplyDeleteBocciati gli orecchini.
The outfit is very nice as are always almost all the Massimo Dutti, but the flat shoes don't go well with the length of the coat.

Maxima looks good here. Good choiche of shoes since it's a day for children.
ReplyDeleteIndeed!
DeleteI just wrote about Mary : "no" to sleeveless coats .... Maxima's one is much better. Look plenty of good reasons to wear flats here, look at where she is walking and what she is doing ... shooting with a bow.
ReplyDeleteComfort can be the key to elegance ! Today's big belt seems t be fine.
Donot like the long “ gilet” at all: a shorter one in a colour matching the shoes and handbag would have made it a livelier combination and this one makes her very tall.
ReplyDeleteNow it is too much white , not so practical at a sports-event.

It is not a long "gilet". It is a sleeveless coat. I love the monochromatic look Maxima adopted since last fall and winter and she continues to do so in lighter colors. I prefer this than the sleeveless coat Mary wore.
DeleteThe coat is beautiful. What I can see underneath, blends in well. Obviously she is wearing flats for a reason, good for her. She looked to be having a great time. Her enthusiasm, her ability to intermingle well and ' have a try at archery' excellent. She brings happiness and humor on her visits, and this engagement was no different. I think she is wonderful and a great asset to the King. Well done Queen Maxima.
ReplyDeleteIndeed, Queen Maxima is such a natural!
DeleteWow, just wow, Maxima looks stunning in this total white outfit!
ReplyDeleteThe split in her dress is so unusual for her but adds a daring touch to the timeless elegance of this ensemble.
Like her shoes and bag too.
Her hair is well groomed and nicely styled.
Five deserved stars for her this time.
Queen Maxima must be very happy person and it is nice to see her smiling face.
ReplyDeleteAva
She laughs all the way to the bank.
DeleteElisabeth
Very lovely outfit and beautifully styled. Ballerinas are comfortable when you walk more, so good choice. She always look so engaged and seem to enjoy what she does.
ReplyDeletePleasure to see them both.

I quite like the flats, its a welcome change from seeing the royal women tottering around on sky high heels and trying to appear to walk normally. The outfit, is well, different. Its nice in one way, yet in another its too formal for the occasion.
ReplyDeleteThe nice coat with pants (like the model's) and her flat shoes, would have been perfect for this type of activity. Her hair looks nice .
ReplyDeleteThe outfit would have looked stunning in pants/trousers with those shoes and that coat divine. She always has such a beautiful smile for all she meets.
ReplyDeleteOh I like that seashell earrings.
