On September 3, Queen Máxima of the Netherlands paid a visit to the chapel of the Kloosterkwartier (Monastery Quarter) in Veghel. This residential area was developed on the site of the Franciscan Sisters’ Convent and the former Bernhoven hospital grounds. It now accommodates various social organizations, and new housing has been created for people both with and without care needs.

Queen Máxima of the Netherlands began her visit with a conversation with the nineteen Sisters who still reside there. She then visited the laundry, the billiard room, and the chapel. The laundry is operated by people distanced from the labor market, the billiard room serves as a meeting place for those experiencing loneliness, and the chapel, after renovation, will provide space for several social organizations.

    This is a beautiful two-piece outfit and it is perfect for the nature and place of Maxima's visit. It is simple yet elegant, and the lacework and linen fabric give it a light and airy feel. It also suits and fits Maxima perfectly.
    What a lovely and thoughtful visit to a place whose services an increasing number of seniors, as well as others, are finding themselves in need of these days, all around the world. To me this visit is synonymous with Maxima's kind and caring personality.

    Other than the puffy sleeves, I like this outfit very much. Love the fabric and the whole overall look. She looks so youthful and seems to just bring energy to a room.

      Same here, my only dislike are the puffy sleeves.

      Really agree. Queen Maxima projects vitality and youth with her enthusiastic attitude toward everything she does. Others have given some good descriptions of the dress. I like it with the simple sandals. Brown and white/ivory are great combinatins. I like that she has toned down her jewelry a lot in the last year or so (for the most part).

      A cropped top reveals skin. If it does not do that, than it is a short top. If she is "unkempt": you simply don't know. One can express dislike in a less rude/more polished way.

      Regarding her hair she has thin hair it can be fly away. At least she is not always tucking it behind her ears or flipping it to the back like some princess.

      The wind in her hair, the elegant understated ensemble, the hardworking queen choosing to visit a social project.

      Yes P. the original! The shoes! We can't forget the shoes! No insult to Maxima is complete without them.

      Anon 17:11, if you are able to go outside and not have your hair move in the wind, I would suggest that you are using too much hairspray. Very 80s of you.

    For me the combination doesn’t work: the delicate top on the wide skirt and the rather gros shoes and bag.

      It only works for a tall person so the proportions are balanced as they are with this lovely queen.

    Wonderful visit.
    Q.Maxima lights up every single place, great to see her so engaging and friendly to the elderly and people with care needs.
    Her Tory Burch white ensemble is beautiful and dainty.
    Like the lace inserts and frothy skirt.
    I would have preferred the sandals in a lighter brown shade.
    Anyway, she got it right, brown being a must have colour for the upcoming fall season.

    Oh zut !
    Tory Burch is an American fashion house.
    I was hoping to see some “goodies” Q. Max had bought back from the Greek fashion houses.
    Maybe the best is yet to come.
    Nice to see that Queen Max appears to be still in holiday mode.

      Her hair needs colouring blonde after the holiday, now you see too much of her dark original hair colour

    A nice, fresh outfit, but not quite suitable for a visit to a convent with older sisters. Beautiful earrings. I would also find closed shoes more appropriate, mais allez….

    This is a beautiful 2piece outfit, everything great but the sleeves. I think they are more for smaller girls and Teen dresses, not a woman in the 50's, OMO.

    This is a great outfit for Queen Maxima. I even like the shoes with this length of skirt. It's lovely. Bet she made the day for the folk she met at the convent

    Nobody can take away from this Queen her wonderful smile and presence when she is doing an engagement. She looks elegant, summery and so happy. What else can you ask for. I think she is fantastic.

    Always nice to see Maxima, she never disappoints me whatever she is wearing! The top looks beautiful with the lace details. I even like the puffy sleeves, they give a good balance with the wide skirt. I agree that the sandals could be in a lighter color, but those don't look bad either. And always with that beautiful big smile!

      And with her bag the shoes are perfect and give a great contrast color to her outfit.

    To my eye this dress is not the best choice for Maxima - it doesn't flatter her lovely figure, particularly the top. The heels and straps of the sandals are also too heavy for the dress, which is better suited to footwear that appears light and dainty - as shown on the model. Overall, for me, a miss. Lyra

    She needs a better bra.

      From all these outfit details you didn't find anything else to say, anon at 10:29.
      Do you know what? Bra fashion has fortunately gone in a more natural direction. And especially in summer it can be even more naturaI, without bra 😉. I understand that women with larger breasts don't feel comfortable in bras that are not supportive enough. However Maxima's upper body looks fine to me in this top, but I'm not obsessed with anyone's body parts.

    This outfit is a rewear, she wore the skirt and top by Tory Burch to do the photoshop before the summer holidays on the Beach of Scheveningen a couple of years ago.

    Very nice rewear of a classic summer set that Q Maxima has apparently had since 2014. I like the shape of the sandals but would personally prefer a lighter tone. I like the heel height and width of the toe band. Doesn't look constricting.
