  2. Je n'aime vraiment pas cette robe que Maxima a ressortie de son dressing ; magnifique queue-de-cheval ainsi que de nouvelles boucles d'oreilles à clips ?!

    Maxima looks great here. I liked this dress the first time she wore it but I like it even more now the way she has styled it with the ponytail and heels. Very nice!

    A rewear of a a summer family photo shoot a couple of years ago and it still looks good on QM. The ponytail is nicely done and suits the queen. Although the colour of the shoes returns in the dress, personally I would have preferred a darker tone brown (or even orange or green).

      I’m in agreement with you, Anon. Don’t like the dark colour of the top or the horizontal stripes. Shoes and hair are good. AnnieM

  7. IMV she doesn't have any extensions today. The purpose of extensions is to ensure a wispy hairstyle.

    I loved the dress when it was new. Now it looks like it is bad ironed and the silk looks used. There is also a difference in the color of the left and the right sleeve or is it the light of the flashes ? Something I notice regularly with Queen Maxima's outfits is that they are not well looked after.

      All her clothes are put in the 75 degrees washing machune programme. After one wear they all look shrunk, wrinkled, or both. Overexpensive clothes miraculously turned into rags overnight.

    The top of the dress is ok, but the colour of the belt is too contrasting.
    The tail doesnot suit the neckline of the dress.
    ConclusioN: I am in doubt if I like it.

    2. IMV the top needs the bottom part to raise the interest in the dress.

  10. This outfit looks good with the accessories the Queen has choose. I love her hair pulled back like this.

    The dress is okay in my opinion. But why is her hair always so unkept, she needs a haircut and her hair is always like this. Is it some medical condition?

    1. How old are you? Women's hair changes as we age. It can get thin, wispy, stright or in my case my beautiful straight hair is now thin and kinky. Hormones are a terrible thing lol.

    My dearest Maxima, sorry I do not like this dress and the horizontal stripes in particular.
    Moreover, the hair piece Is not attached in the best way, but your mere smile and presence light up the surroundings.

  17. The dress looks wrinkled and faded, the ponytail is messy. Not a good look, smile or not.

    @caune But Maximas hair has always been like this. I know a lot of women gets thinner hair after pregnancies, but this has nothing too do with her hair been thin. This is simply very unkept, she needs a haircut and a good hair mask.

    It’s a shame she has a great fashion style and looks good otherwise!!!
