    I like the fit and colour of Q. Maxima’s dress, but surely the heavy boots aren’t needed in May? (V.M.)

    1. The boots fit perfectly with the dress ! by the way, present weather conditions are not the best ones for May in this part of Europe.

      Surely it can rain, blow a hurricane or even snow but they are indoors. Definitely not needed indoors. Dress is lovely and would look great with brown courts

  2. Superbe robe chemisier imprimée de la première dame dans un style rafraîchissant , elle a vraiment ma préférence avec des chaussures originales que je crois voir de la même couleur que la ceinture !

  3. The print of the Queen Maxima's dress is eye-catching and not necessarily in a good way. The print is dizzying. According to the model, it appears to tie in front but that is not evident in the photos. The boots look good with the dress. Her hair is very well done. I know she is wearing earrings, but I can see them well enough to comment.

    Oh no… why the boots? How cold can it be in their palace in the month of May?

      Well, to everyone's annoyance it rains here and it rains day after day ... on the other hand, it's good for nature!

      Maybe with this maxi dress she prefers to wear boots.

      Winter's officially over in The Netherlands as well, but, to everyone's annoyance it rains here and it rains day after day ... on the other hand, it's good for nature!

    Boots, not in May, and the print makes me dizzy. Pity, it could have been a good look with a different fabric, and shoes, not boots.

  7. Now that my friends is a dress for a bold person, no doubt!! Maximally BOLD. Swirling and churning and jumping right out at ya!! And to pair it with Cossack boots, well you got yourself a NO NONSENSE ensemble!! She must be in a certain mood today. I bet the King behaves himself today!!

    The print is gorgeous, but for a dress the mustered yellow is too much dominating for a blond woman, and not flattering.
    The neckline is also not good for M.
    I cannot say what this potentially good dress needs.

  9. Not a bad look as such, but not suited for the season, the occasion or the location.

    Not my style of dress, maybe it would look better with heels? css

    The dress might have worked but those boots!!! It might be a cold day in the Netherlands but they are inside. Not only are the couples inside but the Kenyan First Lady is wearing regular shoes, what appears to be a poplin dress, and her sleeves are elbow length--had it been cold inside I don't she would look so comfortable. Sorry but this look is fashion fail for me because the boots are totally wrong for the dress.
