In the evening of May 5, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima attended 2022 Liberation Day concert held as part of the national celebrations of the liberation. The concert traditionally takes place on and around the Amstel River in front of the Royal Theater Carré.
For the first time since the outbreak of the corona pandemic, the commemoration and celebration took place again in regular form. In the Netherlands, Liberation Day (Bevrijdingsdag) is annually celebrated on May 5 to commemorate the end of the occupation by Nazi Germany during the World War II.

What a great concert! All Dutchies in boats and on the sided of the channels. Enjoying all kind off music. Dancing and celebrating. Also the king and queen.
ReplyDeleteMarvellous!!!
Respect for freedom also with a lot off respect for the Ukrainian people.
Heartwarming
I wouldn't mind if the feathers weren't there, but on the other hand they add some querkyness to the dress. Overall I feel QM looks gorgeous and the updo looks so much better compared to how she'd her hair previously when she wore this dress.

After looking at the photos again I agree with you about the feathers, they do make that dress look different in good way..

Oh no--I had hoped Maxima had forgotten about this dress. There is nothing I like about it and those sleeves are a horror. On the positive side--her hair is beautifully styled and her earrings are great. Janet
ReplyDeleteyes, this dress was bad the first time and it's just as bad now. her hair does look good though! ...Marie
DeleteApart from the dead muppet around the wrists, i think she looks good. Hair is excellent. Km
ReplyDeleteDead muppet 😂
DeleteAgree overall nice look, would be better without feather applications.
DeleteI thought they are dusters.
DeleteWhatever we want to call them, the ostrich they were poached from would like his tail feathers back when she is finished using them so he can refeather his bare bum. He does think she has lovely hair, however. If I am not mistaken, just before he ran off, I think I also heard him mention that the fit and length of her dress was very nice as well. ~d, for Ollie the ostrich
Delete~ d , for Ollie the ostrich
DeleteGreat! 👍😂
Her hair and make up look nice , dress would be much better without the feathers.

Love this dress including the quirkiness of the furry cuffs. Hair and earrings both great.

Pefect choice, feathers and all, for the occasion.
DeleteLove it.
Yes, me too. This is a perfect QM outfit - nice colours, fits well, excellent accessories, and just a bit flamboyant. (V.M.)
DeleteThe hair is lovely as is the upper halve of the dress, color and pattern.
ReplyDeleteThe feathers are a no for me.
The length of the dress is not good for M’s firm ankles, a few inches shorter could make this dress a lot better.
Mabel
Agree knee length for Máxima forever. Love the dress
DeleteThe Queen looks spectacular from head to toes! Great hair style and she wears the dress well even though it’s not my favorite. MR
ReplyDeleteEst-ce une impression mais je trouve que Maxima porte mieux cette robe ; peut-être que les coutures ont été reprises ainsi que sa longueur ? à savoir...
ReplyDeleteJe n'arrive pas à trouver ce que viennent faire ces poignets de plumes ; je ne pense pas que cela apporte quoique ce soit à son look - Elle est très savamment coiffée ; Willem-Alexander est élégant dans son costume bleu-marine et sa cravate aux petits motifs !
Queen Maxima looks beautiful. This dress suits her so well. Her shoes and clutch are a great color and work in well with this dress. Her hair and makeup is perfect.
ReplyDeleteIf the feathers were not there, the dress would have looked boring with no phantasy at all. Just a piece of fabric with a flower print. The feathers make the dress.
ReplyDeleteI agree! She looks AWESOME!!
DeleteExactly! Siv
DeleteI completely agree. The feathers give a dash of whimsy to what would otherwise have been an inconsequential dress. What takes the look even further is Maxima's hair, makeup and smile.

Exactly. It's a joyful and stylish dress just like it is. -Siri
DeleteAnother Natan dress. Enough said.
ReplyDeleteThe dress looks nice on Maxima even though I would have preferred the blue feathers like the ones on the model.
ReplyDeleteMaxima is stunning and the overall grooming (I always use this word about myself when getting ready for work) is on point , particularly her hair so beautifully styled.
Her cheerful and engaging character is the best feature.
Well done, Maxima!
At least Queen Maxima is not boring !!!!

DeleteYou can say that again.
I find her adorable even with all her fashion faults and (sometimes) disasters.
