President of the French Republic, Emmanuel Macron, and First Lady Brigitte Macron are making a state visit to the Netherlands. Queen Maxima and Brigitte Macron visited a walk-in centre for young people in Amsterdam. There, they received more information about issues relating to young people’s mental health and about the objectives and chosen approach of MIND Us. The Queen and Mrs Macron then visited the Anne Frank House.
Afterwards, Dutch Queen Maxima and the French First Lady Brigitte Macron visited the Keukenhof Tulip Gardens. Keukenhof (Kitchen garden), also known as the Garden of Europe, is one of the world's largest flower gardens, situated in the municipality of Lisse.
Afterwards, the King and Queen, President Macron and Mrs Macron visited an exhibition on artist Vermeer at the Rijksmuseum, at the invitation of Prime Minister Rutte. The exhibition involves the largest number of works created by Johannes Vermeer ever to have been displayed together. After visiting the exhibition, Queen Maxima and Brigitte Macron had dinner with several women executives during a boat trip.
Maxima looks good in her different red outfits. I wonder,whether Brigitte Macron's hair really is her own hair. It looks strange. She doesn't look chic in her blue pantsuit and her black dress is very strange.

Madame Macron wears a wig that can be seen in photo 8, and her bangs are her natural hair.
DeleteI just came here to ask if Brigitte Macron wears wigs. Something just seems off about the way her hair falls around her face vs the volume
DeleteI never liked Mme Macrons style. Fake hair, fake tan. Not elegant.
DeleteBrigitte Macron is wearing wig.
DeleteFunny how she stands on the last picture 🕺🏻 … not very elegant for a lady.
Anna
Anna, why should a woman belittle herself in her posture?
DeleteWell @Anonymous 16:38
DeleteI must say i agree with Anna. Brigitte Macron’s posture is not elegant. Standing with open legs is not very ladylike especially if she is wearing a dress or a skirt.
Check any book or look at any culture, in many cultures, women have been socialized to sit and stand with their legs together as a way of demonstrating modesty, grace, and respectability.

I agree with you Coralie, Brigitte does look very cheap not chique at all. She desperately wants to look like a younger person! Well, i got news for her: all the efforts she does makes her only look less attractive. Sorry.
DeleteOh Suz, so 19. century, lovely. If you want to have a good life, forget about these so called rules.....
DeleteSo, if you do not understand cool and elegant fashion without ruffles and flowerprints....
DeleteI´ll start with the positiv. Mme Macron´s yellow coat is very nice and the whole look with slim pants and pumps is very chic. Black evening wear are both good. Each to their own style. Maxima´s red coat is beautiful. Very well tailored. Unfortunately I can't stand nude overlay. Gives a body tattoo look despite this being red.

First outfit: Nice, but dress and shoes are way too dressy for a daytime event.
ReplyDeleteSecond outfit: too much orange. The coat-as-cape look is getting old.
Third outfit: depressing, and not only because of the somber colour.
Mrs. Macron needs to abandon those tight trousers. She has very skinny legs and often looks top-heavy already, and the trousers only emphasize that. She also seems to favour chains, buckles, zips and other metal embellishment on her outfits. I can get behind some of those but the strap-like shoulder chains on her black number look hideous and in some weird way both naughty and infantile.
So, all in all I say yay to the bright colours but nah to almost everything else.
I just thought it it looked like Mrs. Macron looked like she had a backpack
DeleteI fully agree with what Vanessa writes about Mme Macron's "top-heavy" outfits and the "strap-like shoulder chains" on her black dress.
DeleteI think, these "embellishments" are too much and not flattering at all.
Pauline
Ha … yes you’re right re ‘having a backpack’ re her strap shoulder chains. Fashionable but personally i don’t find it a pretty add to the dress …. Dress is already fine.
DeleteI must say the Ladies look very elegant. I like the Keukenhof a field of tulips as far as the eye can see. Pic #14 everyone in dark cloth, it needed a little color. Maximas pants are way too long. This must be the style now. css
ReplyDeletelovely orange dress but too over dressed for a charity walk in centre. the rest of the oufits are well suited
ReplyDeleteThe red dress looks nicer when fully exposed but still not convinced by this as a day dress. Love the orange suit, Maxima really does vibrant colours well. The black outfit is classy too. The buckles on madame macron are a little weird but I guess needed on a otherwise very plain but classy dress. Km
ReplyDeleteOh la marque Vuitton en apparent comme cela sur la veste jaune de Mme Macron, ce n'est pas élégant.
ReplyDeleteTout à fait d'accord!
DeleteI think , the car-coat is super chic and elegant, as it does not scream LV, it only whispers…
Deleteanna e.
Love the coat too, from the actual collection. e.
DeleteElégantes toutes les deux, chacune dans son style ; madame Macron devrait plus souvent ramener en chignon ses cheveux, ce qui est beaucoup mieux que ses cheveux lâchés ; j'adore les boucles d'oreilles de Maxima quand elle les porte en même temps que sa tenue orange vif !
ReplyDeleteThe red dress and coat look divine, combined with the red accessories. The orange pantsuit, very chic and stylish, fits well. The First Ladies coat at this event is splendid, love it. The Queen's black ensemble is well put together. The first lady looks perfect.
ReplyDeleteI love the blue pantsuit she wore, very classy, and elegant. She is a wonderful dresser.
Mrs Macron looks ready to strap on a parachute!
ReplyDeleteCarlotta
☺️ true!
DeleteI like Maxima's choices for each event. A couple of quibbles though--really wish she would not wear the heels with the plastic pieces, wish she had selected a pair of tan or beige gloves instead of the red/orange ones--makes her hands look odd, extending from the coat sleeves, and hope she gets a bit of tailoring for the length of her sparkly evening trousers, not a fan of the drag the ground trouser legs. Mme Macron had a stellar day--her blue pantsuit is beautiful and the more casual look for the garden visit is also very nice. My issue is her choice of dress for the evening event--those huge buckles on her shoulders are awful. She is a petite lady and those buckles are not for her!
ReplyDeleteJanet
She is 1,68 m, in France it's not considered as petite.
DeleteD’accord!
ReplyDeleteAnne
I want to compliment Maxima on her makeup, which seems to have calmed down on the heavy bronze blush. She looks younger with a lighter touch. Although red is a good color for Maxima, I’m not liking the nude dress with red overlay—it’s unnecessarily showy. She does not need silly stunts like that. Her personality is attention getting enough.
ReplyDeleteAgree !!
DeleteWearing evening wear for a day occasion is not a good look on Q Max. The overlay is just, well, ugly comes to mind. The orange outfit is another over the top, 'look at me' I'm a Queen, outfit, even though it comes across as another ugly outfit for the occasion. The French woman is wearing odd clothing as well, and her wig is too big for her body, too stiff, and makes her look like a doll. Clare
ReplyDeleteThe French woman??? The First Lady of France, Madame Macrom.. Do you say the American woman??
DeleteWow you’re very negative !!
DeleteWhy can't you refer to "the French woman" by her name? It isn't a mystery. It can be mentioned - she isn't Voldemort.
Delete11.40 love your comment!
DeleteLighten up on the comments to Clare, maybe she was having a senior moment. I find her honest comments refreshingly sound.
DeleteThe overlay on the dress is not a good look for day or evening wear, bin the entire outfit. Mrs Macron's wig is outdated, I'm sure she can find a more chic, updated one to wear. Maxima's 2nd outfit is nicely muted and she looks nice with her hair down and brushed nicely.
The orange and red Maxima has been wearing, enough already, we know you are a Queen, but the over dressing is a little too much. Edwina
Edwina, Madame Macron is 70 years old..
DeleteBeing rude has nothing to do with „refreshingly sound“
DeleteEstibaliz - i agree with the 1st comment from Anonymous and then Edwina.
DeleteYou have your opinions, others also have. Brigitte Macron is 70 years old but does not behave as such, she always dress younger to look younger, hangs out with younger people e.g. teenager-then-husband. She is young by heart. This is not rude to notice and call a wig a wig, fake tan is fake tan.
Marie
marie, you do not recognize rudness?
DeleteI like Brigitte's Macron yellow coat and the blue pant suit. She should not wear those super slim pants. A straight leg or a little bit wider would be good for her. Not the very large palazzo trousers which are not good for a petite size.
ReplyDeleteI think we have seen enough red and orange on Maxima lately. The coat she is wearing at Keukenhof makes me think of Sherlock Holmes. Maxima is tall, she can have wider trousers it suits her morphology.
The trousers are not super slim, but cigarette form, and super elegant
DeleteShe looks fantastic in cigarette pants. She has the figure for them. She can wear palazzo as well. It is all in the cut and how they are styled.
DeleteBoth lady's in red, white and blue.... It looks like the French flag.
ReplyDeleteDutch Flag 😊
DeleteExcept for the "cocktaildress" QM is wearing for the visit to the Anne Frankhouse she looks great. Love the black ensemble with some glitter in the trouserfabrics. QM looks so terrific in simple dark clothes but she hardlopen ever wears simple. And pls get rid of these gloves all the time. So old fashioned. Mme Macron was the best dressed on the 1st day.
ReplyDeleteTwo Barbie dolls; Two women who can't or won't age with dignity; Worse still is this French woman; President Macron does not look happy; Also understandable if the "teacher" still has the say ... ;))
ReplyDeleteWhat an unbelievable rude comment. This is no place for hate speech!
Delete@Anonymous13/4/23 15:55: your 'Barbie comments' are rude, childish and getting boring; it's time you return to your doll house and leave this blog to the ones who leave positive as well as critical (in a constructive way) comments
DeleteBarbie dolls? Jammer dat sommige mensen zo verzuurd zijn en ongezouten mening de wereld in schieten. Ben wel benieuwd hoe je er zelf uitziet? Live life and keep it positive.
DeleteBARBIE DOLLS!!! Made my day:)
DeleteIt is Mme Macrons 70 birthday today. For such an old lady she looks good. In a Jane Fondish way. And the Duchess of Windsors saying: "One can never be too thin" is true, in her case at least. Siv
ReplyDeleteWow. Your comment is so rude. So 70 is ancient and no woman can look good past what age ? 30, 40, 50?
DeleteLadyofthemanor
I agree!
DeleteThere is so much age shaming in the comments, could it be the combo younger man-older woman? Or some envie that a woman of 70 could be that stylish...
DeleteMrs Macron is looking as stylish as ever;love her outfits,she is such an inspiration.Queen Maxima looks bright and cheery.(Tara)
ReplyDelete‘L’habit ne fait pas le moine’ comme on dit concernant Macron.
DeleteAgree, Brigitte Macron is always dressed with style and elegance, and with a twist.
Deleteanna e.
I have a great liking for Madam Macron. She carries out the role of First Lady in an excellent, intelligent way.
DeleteThe only negative thing I would say is that she should get the address of Princess Charlene's make-up artist.
Her make-up is never anything to write home about.
@deadeggs - i admire your sense of humour. Very impressive comment …
DeleteBy the way, France does not have 1st Lady …
Anna
Yes Anna. You are right about the no First Lady in France.
DeleteBut is there a title for the wife or girlfriend/s (good morning Mr Holland) of the President?
Madame Macron, cˋest bon! e.
DeleteBarbie dolls :)
ReplyDeleteCompletely! Brigitte Macron with her wig … i look several times again, hard to understand people finding her ‘great’
DeleteWhy getting so personal, after all, this is a fashion blog
ReplyDeleteIt's not "she" for "Brigitte" Macron, it's "he", for Jean Michel Trogneux-Macron, so be sure that he's hair is not natural :)
