Queen Máxima of the Netherlands is in New York to hold discussions on the work carried out in her role as the UN Secretary-General’s Special Advocate for Financial Health (UNSGSA). On Monday, February 24, Queen Máxima held discussions with private financial institutions at The Edge in New York, exploring ways to improve the financial health of households through the use of customer-oriented financial products and services. She is also meeting with permanent UN representatives from various countries to discuss the relevance of financial health to the UN development agenda.
Lovely colour green sweaters and ombre skirt. My dear Maxima looks tired, seems like she is saying you want a picture okay but I have work to do.
ردحذفWork ?
حذفYes, work. She has done a lot in this role. She has been very hands on with it.
حذفT
Haha, T…
حذفGreen seems to be Maxima's 'couleur du jour' these days, and she wears that colour very well. From just the one photo on here, this seems to be a stylish, working outfit for business purposes. Very nice.

I think she looks like a housewife or a mum on a school run. There is nothing business-like about her outfit. And her hair is a disgrace.
حذف@Anon 16:02 Nothing businesslike about her outfit? You're out of touch with the higher levels of the corporate financial business world of today. I'm a part of it. It's not all suits and jackets for women or men, and hasn't been for decades. You need to broaden your horizons.

I didn´t say she needed a suit or blazer. I just find her outfit rather odd for this occasion. The long skirt doesn´t read business, the little cardigan certainly doesn´t (especially when worn cape-style), her little handbag is nothing but a fashion accessory and her hair looks like she just rolled out of bed. Nothing about this look is business-like. And while I agree that there is a broader range of acceptable business attire today compared to 50 years ago, there is still a dress code expected from high-level representatives. Maxima gets away with this look because she is a queen.
حذفBut that's my point: This is exactly the look that I'm seeing in high end corporate boardrooms nowadays from women bankers and lawyers. It's not the general look of the outfit but the quality of the design and the threads. Very high end designers creating fashion to look very dressed down - but one knows exactly what they're wearing when they see it. It's the new source of invisible power and strength.

These two colours work well together. I particularly love this shade of green.
ردحذفNice combination, lovely color. New York New York.

What a horrible hairdo, you'd think she would do better.
ردحذفWhat a horrible unnecessary criticism.
حذفAnon 02:55: you are actually very brave in your comment, no doubt knowing the criticism you will get.
حذفYawn😴
حذفAgree 100% with the original commenter of the post! She should have more respect for herself, than going out in public looking like that. The first thing everyone sees is the head of a person.
حذفAgree, she could do better, but cares more about the outfit and jewelry, and does not seem to care about the crowning joy of a woman, her hair. Sad, really.
حذفA very casual chic coordinated outfit. I love the sweater set. I might have added a single strand of white pearls .
ردحذفA lovely comment - speaking of what you see in the fashion and what you see as possibilities too!
حذفWell said
حذفIt would look nice to see the Queen with her hair more kempt representing her country. This is a side of her that we rarely see, she studied finance and business before coming Queen and was a prominent financial expert!
ردحذفShe studied economy and was a middle class student. When she worked at a bank in New York later she was very good at networking but certainly not a prominent financial advisor
حذفDear Fitzhugh, small correction that she is here not representing her country but with the UN. We know she has resources and if she’s choosing her hair this way, I think it speaks of other priorities. There is no rule that a Queen’s hair must be a certain way, but for sure, if she wanted daily hairdressing she would have the money to do so. And she’s only doing that for some engagements. Therefore I suggest she’s happy with her hair as it is!

حذفYou should ditch your gossip mags.
You don't know anything about Maxima's CV exactly like you do not know anything about mine or any other blogger's.
As long as you make a guess, I must say your comment is baseless.
Not a bigger, actually, as I could already foretell what you're going to write on any royal lady even before popping in here.
* No biggie
حذفTo P. The original: how do you know that the commentator knows nothing of Maxima’s cv?? When she got engaged to W.A., the future king of the Netherlands Dutch papers were full of information of her life sofar.
حذفBytheway: I was not the commentator but I resent your tone.
On the Dutch websites you can find everything about Queen Maxima what she studied when she was a young lady. Where she worked (more precisely in which bank she worked in New York). In The Netherlands there are no secrets about things like that and Queen Maxima does not make secrets about that period of her life either. These are not gossips. Just the price you have to pay when you are a famous person. We know what all the young queens did for a job before they encountered Philippe, Frederik, Willem-Alexander, Henri (of Luxembourg), Felipe, etc... It has been told to us by the official channels when they were getting married, it is part of the fairy tale, .... and can be found on the Internet (Wikipedia, the websites of the Royal house to which they belong, there are books which have been written by royalty watchers about queens and princesses...).

حذفYour comment is very strangely written.
Anyway, here is the official page on Maxima .
I'm factual, you should know.
A credit to Maxima chapeau.
Facts, not words.

To P The Original: when Meghan joined the RF she was called a humanitarian and all sorts of excellent things. It’s not because it’s on the official website it’s true. It’s how you present facts. Probably rather exaggerated.

حذفMaxima was no middle class student.
As you can see from the official page I attached at 19:25, she was Vice- President more than a couple times.
This means that she worked in a high hierarchical position.
I have always thought that she has substance to her.
Some other royal ladies have remarkable CVs .
They are just not pretty faces.
Life is unpredictable.
You start studying something and you are so good at It, you have it all but then your life suddenly takes
new and thrilling turns.
And your find yourself wanting to follow those unknown paths because you feel they will bring joy into your life.
Maybe it's all already written in everyone's destiny.
I bet none of these ladies ever dreamt of ending up in a palace with tiaras on their heads.
On the other hand, I ended up on planes!
I just followed my inborn passion for travelling and adventure.
It's so satisfying and rewarding when one can make their dreams come true!
Always beatiful!
ردحذفNope
حذفA very good elegant working outfit. But a really awful bad hair day. The hair does look greasy too. Maybe the hairdresser of her daughter Amalia can help.
ردحذفI think she may use gel in her hair and gelled hair does not photograph well, but looks nice otherwise. She does not walk around with a mirror, walks into a building and the cameras are snapping away. Really does she have a chance, so what you see is what you get and she is fabulous.
حذفYou can be very well dressed, but if your hair isn't done, if your shoes are not in good shape (not the case) it ruins the all thing.
ردحذفBesides that, being well dressed, and that includes washing your hair, it's a matter of respect to those who are receiving us or we receive.
Cette couleur verte se marie à merveille avec le camel de sa jupe ainsi que de ses bottes ; dommage, je n'ai pas eu l'occasion de mieux voir ses boucles d'oreilles ?!
ردحذفI might be the only living soul on planet earth who likes Máxima’s hair. She’s cool!
ردحذفI like her hair too.
حذفT
Ze lijkt wel een zwerfster, zeer onflatteuse outfit.
ردحذفSorry, but she looks disheveld. Nice outfit though.
