On December 1, Queen Maxima attended the event 'Meet the world, make the change' on the occasion of the 70th anniversary of Nuffic, the organization for internationalization in education. The event took place at The Hague University of Applied Sciences in The Hague.
Queen Maxima attended the plenary opening of the jubilee celebration, and then discussed the importance of internationalization with students, and professionals from the field and Nuffic employees, in the presence of Titia Bredee, director of Nuffic. Afterwards, the Queen attended the workshop 'Working with your international skillset'.
OSCAR DE LA RENTA floral brocade long coat
I've loved this colourful de la Renta coat every time Maxima has worn it and I love it today too. The green dress beneath it is the right colour and seems to have a lower neckline, giving an edgy contrast with the need for a coat. Love it.

I've always liked this coat on Q. Max. It fits well and the colours are so cheerful. I prefer it worn with less vibrant colours like the softer green boots and scarf from a previous outing. Here I think the bright green - dress, shoes, hat - competes and makes a less harmonious ensemble. (V.M.)
ReplyDeleteMax should stick to updo hairstyle & CP Vic should let her hair down more often.
ReplyDeleteWhy she gets it into her head to wear a hat to some of these events which are not so formal is beyond me. Basically it is so out of date in the Netherlands that I am wondering if everyone knows it is a hat especially todays example. It could be confused with a hip bread basket or something you put the cats toys in. Other than her hat I like what she is wearing. She is very tall so no one would miss her or not know she is the queen, unlike Princess Beatrix or Queen Elizabeth II who were very small and needed the hats so everyone knew where the queen was. Her shoes tone with the coat bu jar a bit with the different green of the dress.
ReplyDeleteWearing of hats is often a protocol issue, depending on wether a visit is in her capacity as queen, an official visit, a working visit, a casual visit or a visit in her capacity as a special envoy from the UN. I often prefer her hatted. She’s got a good hat head and she can hide that hair in the hat.
DeleteI read somewhere that since the monarch in the Netherlands never wears a crown, Beatrix had "designed" her hair style and her well known hats to resemble a crown.
DeleteAs for when does Maxima wear a hat is also a puzzel fort me, anyone?
And over s particular turban hat, i think that the material does not match the rest of my the look

It’s protocol. Daytime opening -> hat.
DeleteI think the hat could also be for warmth.
DeleteWhere I live we are having some low winter temperatures and I find that a bonnet or some type of head covering helps to keep me warm.
I’ve loved the coat on every occasion she has worn it and I have the same feelings this time.
Plus, it suits her personality.
Nalerina, i agree with you. It is ridiculous to wear a hat to occasions like this. It is not protocol. It is just Maxima behaving like a child and playing fancy dressing. She has no feeling for this kind of things and obviously no one dares to tell her or she is just not listening.
DeleteIt is protocol. She's a Queen.
DeleteYour prejudices are showing.
Love it!
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot to look at, I'm not sure about the coat. But the green looks beautiful on her. She looks so lovely with her hair up.

Yes, Maxima can wear such strong colours - and she looks funny at the same time (especially with this coat), a bit like a clown.

Always hated the coat. Obviously having a turban hat period too which I dislike. Still the dress looks nice km
ReplyDeleteWicker or straw or knitted hat keeping hair in check: check - Ugly coat - ugg/check - too much 'over the top jewelry - check - Not a great look today, sorry
ReplyDeleteIl n'y a que le manteau qui me plaise car il a l'avantage d'être porté sur différentes sortes de robes qui rappellent ses couleurs ; des bottes noires dans un cuir souple auraient rehaussé son look !
ReplyDeleteLove it a lot. The jewelry is stunning. css
ReplyDeleteOver the top as usual, the hat at least cover her hair.
ReplyDeleteThe Queen looks exceptionally beautiful! I wish I could tell her how wonderful she looks with her hair up. Lovely Christmas colors that look lovely on Queen Maxima. MR
ReplyDeleteMaxima is gorgeous. She makes all the other royal ladies look plain and boring. She sometimes makes awkward fashion choices but when she nails it she looks better than anyone else.
ReplyDeleteI agree!
DeleteI love her for being adventurous. She certainly doesn't bore me like some royals.
DeleteWell said. She has her own personality and won’t submit to conventional “rules” - many of which are stale and completely boring.
DeleteCH
She looks beautiful today. I love the green dress and the colorful coat!! LOVE IT!! And her SMILE is mega watt!! I know you guys don't like hats but I love them and I will miss them if/when they're gone. Love hats and gloves!
ReplyDeleteShe looks fabulous. Love this outfit, the colors are amazing.
ReplyDeleteIt's just too clown outfit like.
ReplyDeleteKim
Agree Kim.
DeleteThat's a BIG emerald ring!
