    A meaningful state visit and tribute to Slovakia.
    Q.Maxima is stunning, what an amazing deep hue of cobalt blue!
    It looks like sapphire brightness.
    Breathtaking jewelry too.
    Perfection from head to toe including hair and make-up.
    The king is handsome and so well groomed.
    Impressive presidential couple, the First Lady's dress is lovely, simple, effective and sleek.
    Well done to all of them.

      I have to correct you: Mrs. Zuzana Čaputová is not the first lady, she is the first woman in the position of president in Slovakia. She is a former lawyer with a focus on ecology. She is 49 years old, very popular and very elegant. She has been in office for 4 years and if she runs for a second term, I will vote for her again.
      Queen Maxima and the President look like sisters.
      (PS: The ending of surnames "-ová" or "-á" means that a person with such a surname is a woman. We do not have to add Mrs. or Ms. to names. This applies to all Slavic languages)

      I just want to add - both ladies look elegant. The previous comment was mine, I forgot to sign. Stephanie, Slovakia

      The president ( thank you Stephanie) wins here in simple elegance.
      Of course Maxima wears a beautiful dress and coat, but the jewelry and eye-make-up are both too much and downgrade the total look for me.
      The cute little hat should have been placed more backwards.

    She looks very nice and polished. Beautiful coat. Hard to see the dress details but it has a distinct 50s vibe in collar and sleeves.

    1. yes indeed it has a 50s elegancy. This must be top 10 of state visit arrival Maxima has ever. I like the simple hat in contrast to the over sized hats she normally wears.

    2. This style is also very Princess of Wales. The blue sapphire ring, the hat and Catherine Walker dresses.

  3. Que de couleurs bleu dans les tenues de Willem-Alexander et Maxima - Quelle agréable surprise le bibi de Maxima ; cela change beaucoup des chapeaux volumineux qu'elle porte assez souvent ; superbes bijoux de diamants/saphirs !

    What a wonderful blue ensemble. So Simple and so regal. The model looks like it came from Dior in the 1950, with slim taille and circle skirt. And this goes for the little hat as well. Máxima looks stunning in it and it has the perfect length as well. More of this QM!

  5. They all look great, including the hosts.
    The two ladies look very similar, I think. Similar facial features.

  7. I think Quen Maxima has been reading this blog and has finally aquired a good stylist. Hair, hat, coat, earrings look glorious. However I would have left the brooch at home with those big buttons on the dress or better still plain covered buttons with the beautifull brooch plling all the interest.

  8. Wow! I like every piece of this outfit, the coat is at least 20 years old, and comes to show that good couture is perennial, the dress has a vintage feel and is so feminine, I even like the big buttons, just because the dress color is sober.
    The Queen looks lovely.

    Maxima looks superb in deep blues. She wore those colors with sapphires in the ceremony when she and WA became King and Queen. This is perfect for a state visit. I am also struck, like another poster, above, by the resemblance in features between the President, who is also very elegant, and Maxima! —Anne

  10. I love the Navy ensemble, very smart and stylish. The dark Navy dress looks divine, the accompanying jewels were the perfect choice, looking exceptionally gorgeous.

      Not the First Lady - the President is the woman.

    Maxima looks marvelous--that deep blue is gorgeous! President Caputova is a very elegant lady who is equally well-dressed--in fact, I like her dress best. Can't wait to see more from the visit.

    Queen Maxima has chosen a lovely outfit for the kickoff of a state visit -- very regal in these blues. Not over the top, which I like.

    I find all for looking spiffy, and impressed about The president. Don't know anything about her until know.
    I believe we will have many nice outfits

  16. To me the best day outfit (formal occasion) of Queen Maxima in a long, a very long time. Also, Mrs. President Caputová looks equally as good (minus the hat, that is).

    The King in recent times looks really tired. Makes me wonder what challenges he face in his role and the amount of politics and criticism they need to deal with.
