    Love the colour combination, the silhouette, and especially the cape and the boots. Very nice!

    1. Nice outfit again. As you say, it's a great colour combo. Especially like the skirt and the hair still looks much better than normal.

    Nice outfit, too bad, even the new hair extensions are left a mess. A hair brush attached to her wrist, would be a great gift to her.

    1. I am verry happy that I am not the only one who noticed this. Her hair looks nice but if you look closely it is a mess. Yesterday she was in Italy and her hair looked well cared for but I think she did not brush it for today since yesterday and after she woke up today.

      @Iris, I came to the conclusion, that Maxima likes her hair 'undone'. It is the 'out-of-bed' look she goes for. We are probably clueless and don't understand the statement. Or we are obsessed with hairbrushes. And she has overcome that obsession and freed herself from old-fashiones morning routines like getting ready in the morning before going out for work.

    3. Sure, she likes it undone, but we don't. :-) :-) She often has heavily make-up so she has that routine thus she can do her hair also.

    The slit is far too long, not very regal, I must say.

  8. Noir et camel, deux couleurs qui flattent beaucoup Maxima mais la texture de sa jupe me paraît bizarre ; celle du modèle semble avoir de la tenue ?!

    She is the epitome of beauty, charm and good taste. I love the new shoulder-length haircut. She left it long in the back so she can put it up. Although not born into royalty,
    she is truly Regal!

    There sure is an obsession over hair extensions. What a waste of energy. You can see by the pictures that the wind is blowing her hair. I think I would rather have my queen focus on her work rather than running from the car to a private room to have hair and makeup touched up by her team before greeting her hosts. This must explain the helmet hair the older royal ladies have. They could emerge from a hurricane without a hair out of place.

    All the negative comments about the hairstyle, even if there are curls in her hair and it looks good for several days now, is just an opportunity to say something about someone you don't like. In the future better say nothing if you really dislike her.

    Rubbish, just because someone states something negative about our royal and aristocratic protagonists on this blog does not imply that we dislike or hate them, as has been suggested. What is the point of commenting if nothing negative is allowed? Tastes and opinions differ, glorification is boring and unrealistic, so why should people not express their views as long as they are fair?

    I had to laugh at the comment about attaching a hairbrush to her wrist! Hilarious and great idea! Lol
