  1. Que de fleurs ; robe très estivale mais je ne suis pas fan de ces grosses boucles d'oreilles vertes Trèfle que j'aurais vues plus petites ; cheveux joliment lissés !

  2. Not a bad design but it´s too short on her.
    A dress like that needs to fit perfectly and be styled elegantly. Unfortunately, her hair has more of a I´m-on-my-way-to-the-shower look, and the dress then ends up looking like she quickly wrapped herself in a bedsheet. The green shawl adds to that impression and makes me think of a towel slung over the shoulder.

      I didn't really notice the length issue until you pointed it out--and now, its all I can see! Totally agree--too short.

    This is what you do with a big towel on the beach after swimming, but than without a panty in your sandals.

    1. I would not be so critical about the dress, I accept the emphasis on the floral design and the beach vibe which could go with it. I rather feel irritated by her frequent overdressing.

    2. Oh dear Mabel I think a lot of people are not going to understand your use of the words " panty in your sandals." What the Dutch call "pantys" are tights in English. It comes I think from the origional name for these objects when they first arrived on the scene in quantity in I think the late 50's or early 60's. They were called pantyhose at first as being the first sheer nylon stockings attatched to a pair of panties(nickers) of very sheer weave woven together as one unit.

      On which picture you can see she is wearing tights in her sandals ?
      I moved my PC screen forwards and backwards but I couldn't see it clearly.

  4. Non sono una fan del monospalla, ma abito e grandi orecchini sono in stile Maxima dove tutto è all'ennesima potenza. Lo dico con grande simpatia per QM, ma mi sembra che all'inizio della sua "carriera" fosse un po' più sobria...o ricordo male?

      Mi pare di averla sempre vista cosi, e, personalmente, adoro il suo stile, i suoi abbinamenti di colori e i suoi mega gioielli , o bigiotteria che sia.

    Pretty floral dress but I wish she had chosen different earrings--these earrings are too informal for the black tie occasion in my opinion.

    I think Máxima is looking smashing. Super modern model and beautiful flowerprint of Etro ( famous for their prints). Hair well done. Maybe a bit too much make-up.

    I actually like this outfit very much, she looks fresh and vibrant, the only thing I would burn is the earrings.

      You do not have to destroy everything you don't like you could give it to children to play with, or keep it for Carnival (European meaning) period before Easter.

    Her dress is gaudy & too short. King is in a tux & queen looks like she's heading to the beach while wearing ugly shoes. *Regina

    It’s not what I would wear myself but think it’s very much Queen Maxima’s style. As for criticism of the slicked back hair, Grand Duchess Maria Theresa and Princess Charlene have both favoured similar styles. It’s not even a recent royal look Back in the 90s Princess Diana was photographed several times with this kind of style.

  12. This floral off the shoulder gown looks splendid, the Queen carries this gown off well. Not a fan of the earrings, but regardless a wonderful appearance by the Queen.

      These cheap looking earrings seem to have cost a fortune, according to the Dutch Maxima worship site MKM. Bit Dolly Parton “it costs a fortune to look this cheap”.

    Those “cheap looking earrings” are JAR geranium leaf earrings, and cost at least $12,000.
