On April 7, 2022, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima of The Netherlands visited Dune and Bulb Region in South Holland. The Dune and Bulb Region (Duin- en Bollenstreek) is a region in South Holland, which has coastal dunes and known for the cultivation of flower bulbs. More than 190,000 people live in five municipalities of the region, that is, Lisse, Teylingen, Hillegom, Katwijk and Noordwijk. Queen Maxima wore a new stretch wool long sleeve embossed dress by Oscar de la Renta.
Oscar de la Renta Stretch Wool Long Sleeve Embossed Dress
Another great look by QM; the pillbox with ponytail suits her well and I like the flower twist on the dress as it's bulb season. Dress has a good length and seems to fit well. Happy to see that the queen didn't add a necklace or brooch, as otherwise it would have been too much.

Totally agree
حذفYes high season for bulb flowers in NL .... I think she is quite nicely dressed, however a bit overdressed as often fr this visit. I would be delighted to have a similar dress.
ردحذفThis is a wonderful outfit for Queen Maxima ... very flattering style and colour ...
ردحذفBeautiful Dress!!!!!
ردحذفI think they've had a positive reply to Queen Maxima's ad for a stylist.
ردحذفBut let's not get the party lights up yet. And don't open the champagne.
Wait and see what tomorrow brings.
Many times she has got us up on a high and then throws one of her disasters at us. But she is adorable, you know, with or without a stylist.
deadeggs, you crack me up. you are also correct!
حذف...Marie
You are so right. I think we just have to enjoy the good days as they come. The past few days have also been a lesson in color. Maybe we can open one bottle to celebrate the brief but powerful tutorial in wearing flattering colors. ~d
حذفThe blue looks wonderful however when looking at the last photo both seem a bit overdressed for this visit ... I.P.
ردحذفIt is tradition in the Netherlands that the king and queen visit every year the region where the tulips and other bulb flowers are cultivated. Former queens Juliana and Beatrix went there also every year. They were always well dressed to do so, never casual. As for King W. Alexander what else can he wear than a suit ?
حذفOverdressed? She is the Queen!
حذفMaxima looks really lovely, elegant and sophisticated here!
ردحذفThis is Style with capital S!
Dream dress of de la Renta,
Mabel
Magnifique look bleu même si je la trouve trop habillée et bijoutée pour cette visite !
ردحذفA part ses bracelets qu'elle a l'air de mettre tous les jours, elle n'a mis qu'une paire de boucles d'oreilles (pas de collier, ni de broche).
حذفLove the dress. A pity we cannot see it well underneath the coat. In general Oscar de la Renta dresses are very stylish.
ردحذفI think she looks good. Nice to see her not wearing Natan. As for being overdressed, there is some kind of guide as to when to do the full hat n gloves thing. Obviously type of visit etc. I think that as she is
ردحذفthere as the actual Queen (along with King) , then its hats and looking smart. Being patron etc on visits means no hat and the slightly sloppier looks. KM
wonder how those sky high heels were sinking into the dirt in the middle of these two wandering through fields.
ردحذفMaxima looks lovely. Her styling is spot on. I love the pink lip. The Oscar de la Renta dress is gorgeous. I could see Letizia wearing this dress, too.
ردحذفE.B.B.
Cà y est, elle fait son âge Maxima : la petite cinquantaine...! comme tout le monde of course !
ردحذفOne of the very few times that she looks good if a bit overdressed. She needs to give away everything Nathan in her wardrobe.

حذفI second that. There are one or two Natans that are Ok . Perhaps we can convince Queen Mathilde to join her in the give away.
@Nalerina. Oscar de la Renta could be good for Queen Mathilde too but then the blogsters will have remarks that Queen Mathilde wears dresses with too big flowers. In this case big flowers in white lace.
حذف@Kteach. She is not overdressed. This is the yearly visit to the places where the tulips and other bulb flowers are cultivated. It is tradition in the Netherlands that the Queen and/or King visit these places. You cannot expect them to go in jeans and sweatshirt.
حذفShe looks sensational, but those pearl and diamond drop earrings are divine.
ردحذفTotally over the top as usual, the dake ponytail is a hit.
ردحذفTotally useless remark - be kind or explain! Siv
حذفThx for showing a picture where the dress can be seen completely.
ردحذفStick with Oscar, Queen Maxima! You can't go wrong there. Love that dress.
ردحذفAnd she and her King look totally engaged in the the people and in each other. A great event. The Netherlands has some of the most beautiful gardens with flowers that I have ever visited.
