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.

    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.

    1. 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

      Whatever 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

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

      Yes, me too. This is a perfect QM outfit - nice colours, fits well, excellent accessories, and just a bit flamboyant. (V.M.)

    The hair is lovely as is the upper halve of the dress, color and pattern.
    The 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.

    The Queen looks spectacular from head to toes! Great hair style and she wears the dress well even though it’s not my favorite. MR

  9. Est-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...
    Je 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 !

  10. 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.

    If 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.

      I 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.

    The dress looks nice on Maxima even though I would have preferred the blue feathers like the ones on the model.
    Maxima 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!

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