On September 2, Queen Máxima paid a working visit to infrastructure projects in Amstelveen, Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, and Hilversum. The visit focused on applying principles of circularity. The program began in Amstelveen at the InZicht Information Center, part of the project to widen the A9 motorway between the Badhoevedorp and Holendrecht interchanges, within the Schiphol-Amsterdam-Almere program.
Afterwards, Queen Máxima visited the bridge over the Bullewijk in Ouderkerk aan de Amstel, which is being completely rebuilt as part of the A9 widening works. The reconstruction emphasizes the reuse of concrete: the beams that once formed the bridge deck have been removed and are being repurposed in other road construction projects across the country.
In Hilversum, Queen Máxima was briefed on the Asphalt Recycling Train (ART) and shown how the machine operates. The ART renews old asphalt on site, transforming it into new road surface. This method of road maintenance is almost entirely circular, as all material is reused.
A no for me, but given that she put on some overalls I guess, it is appropriate.
ردحذفThe height of those stilettos!

حذفI agree, it's painful and the position of the feet isn't exactly elegant, but hey, if you want to look super slim…ok……
Her shoes are the same height she typically wears. They are more elegant than lower heels. They just aren't for you and that is okay.
حذفHer choice, problems for her to face later, up to her ! She did the visit with other shoes.
حذفYou will have noticed that she changed into workers' boots for the visit, won't you - and let herself be photographed in them . Of course, those stilettos are not healthy footwear at all, but Máxima never said she wants to distribute health (or for that matter, fashion or hairstyle) advice for other women. Look at what she concentrates on in her work. -

حذف...and you start with your high heels narrative whenever Queen Maxima is featured on this blog
That's your usual screenplay, after all.
Ok, she can wear them so what's wrong with you?
Can't you?
By the way, she looks stylish and well groomed though I know the hair police is approaching...
Maxima's hair are a great point to make when fashion knowledge leaves much to be desidered.
* is a great point to make...
حذفLove the shoes and yes you can walk just fine if they fit. It’s not like she is on her feet for 8 hours. Not for everyone but a great fashion piece.
حذفWhy do you get mean and personal P the original? The commenter might be a bit mean towards high heels but they don’t have feelings! We don’t need to be mean to each other here!!! Come on!

حذف..... "the position of her feet isn't exactly elegant"....
To me the position of her feet looks quite normal. She is just stepping out of the car when the picture is made.
.... "it is painful".... How do you know ? You cannot feel the shoes in Queen Maxima's place. Do you really think Queen Maxima would wear her stiletto's if they hurt her feet ? I don't think so.
Besides she is not wearing them a long time. To visit the premises she changes shoes to wear safety boots and an overall over her clothes. Please try to think logically.
Agree that they are towering! I don’t find taller heels more elegant but understand that some do, such as one commenter above. For me they change the proportions so the lower leg looks a bit weird. But I also recognise that people who have drivers probably don’t spend that many minutes walking up on their toes like that. I’m so enjoying looking at this summer’s lower heel fashion and really loved seeing Mary and Maxima with flats and low heels.

حذفI am not mean, just fair and objective.
If the criticism is always hitting the same pointless notes, there os nothing different I can say.
Q.Maxima and all the other royal ladies make their choices and feel all right , no matter what people say.
If some people are not used to wearing high heels that's perfectly fine but they are not Maxima and their feet are not her feet.
Such a restless, boring criticism re ::high heels simply shows lack of other fashion argumentations imo.
Many royal women will wear high heels countless more times, with or without some readers' approval.
That's their life.

حذفAbsolutely well stated!
Quel plaisir de la revoir, la pétillante reine Maxima !
ردحذفJ’aime beaucoup sa paire d’escarpins; de même que la couleur de sa blouse, que je ne peux identifier.
-Astrid.
Maxima looks great. I love the outfit - just two pieces that go very well together and fit her very well too. It is a very nice look.

Maxima a su bien choisir la couleur de sa blouse ; c’est peut-être une impression mais il me semble qu’elle s’est affinée ?
ردحذفI like all the pieces but not together. So, vacation must be over, back to work. That works for me.

Prime example of why CP Victoria always wears her hair up & out of the way. ~~Ruthie
ردحذفOr a thin band like Queen of Spain, keeps hair managed while still allowing for longer hair.
حذفNot wild about the outfit, apart from the shoes. Lovely to have Queen maxima back
ردحذفI do not care for the shorter length and wideness of the pants. Her hair is a mess, and yes, I will call it out because a woman with the title of "Queen" can and should do better. I do think the olive color is a good color for her.
ردحذفOlive ? She is wearing a brown top on white pants which is a fashionable combination for the moment.
حذفAhhhh … there’s no “should” legally associated with a queen regarding hair. If she likes it this way when she obviously has the money to have it looking different, I think we can assume that this queen enjoys her hair this way!
حذفLike the pieces but not together. Love that Queen Maxima is back as she is always a joy to see. Kudos to her for donning the overalls, hat, and boots.

The blouse is attractive, I like the neckline, adds interest to the plain blouse. OMG!!! The height of her heels!
ردحذفYes, @ Ava, they are 12 cm high, I can spot that.
حذفBut she can walk so well in them!
Gorgeous colour, too.
Agree Ava, they are crazy high!
حذفThis blouse is a rewear in my opinion. An awful design of Natan with a kind of batwing sleeves. Nice colour combination and I love her 10cm high heels. I suppose she puts her sneakers on right after her visit
ردحذفThe heels are 105 mm high and as such, walkable, at least for one or two hours that Máxima takes them out for an occasion. She has worn this specific green pair 23 times until now ( according to Ufonomore, and this is not her only pair Gianvito Rossi stiletto). So we might hear those "ah-oh-ah the height of it" several times in the future too *yawn* :-)
ردحذفYes, you are right , 10,5 cm high and considering she surely uses some kind of feet protections inside these pumps, the height goes up approx.to 12 cm.
حذفYawn from me too.
This is what the lack of fashion argumentations may cause , the sterile repetition of the same boring cliches.
“Sterile repetition of the same clichés”???? What?!?!
حذفThose 105mm shoes don’t get a yawn from me but an ouch! And every time I see them, it’s an ouch! Hardly a “sterile repetition” or a cliché….
حذفJ adore les talons aiguilles mais malheureusement je ne peux plus en porter.
ردحذفFroufrou
She looks terrific. This outfit would look even better with ballerinas / flats. She’s just so vibrant and energetic!
