On November 6, 2025, Queen Máxima paid a working visit to Enik Recovery College in Utrecht. Enik Recovery College is a recovery academy for people with personal experience of disruption caused by mental health challenges or addiction. The college offers both a learning environment and a meeting place. Queen Máxima spoke with various participants and people involved in Enik. For the occasion, she wore a light blue blouse by Natan.

The discussions focused on how participants gain greater control over their recovery. Enik is celebrating its 10th anniversary this year. At Enik, the emphasis is on people’s capacity for recovery and their own inner strength. The college is run by experts by experience in the fields of psychiatry and addiction.

      When you have nothing to say, it is best to remain quiet.

      Many of us have given up on her hair. :( If she hasn't gotten it together by now she never will.

      If she’s happy with it and she’s queen, there’s really not more to be said. We in Europe are not into daily hair styling and hair product as in the USA, except for special events.

    4. I actually thought her hair wasn't too bad today. Like the blue and grey colour pairing.

    I'm surprised she didn't wear a big statemnet necklace with this blouse. The gathered neckline is really perfect to show case one of her large pieces that she wears so well. I don't really care for the neckline but it's a nice working outfit for everyday. Not very regal tho, for sure.

    What is it with Natan designs, it just seems to be draped fabric gathered by elastic. The colour is beautiful on her and I love that she carries her own coat.

    Strong colours look better on Máxima than pastels imo

    Yes, a nice, simple, well fitting working outfit. The lovely colours are the best part for me.

      Agreed. Simple and classic, with a bit of a twist on the blouse. Great cause, interesting to know the Netherlands has such an institution to help those vulnerable. Others could follow suit.

    It looks like a mandatory performance, a quick one with the familiar grin. Clothing is fine.

      I don’t understand your meaning on “mandatory performance”? The visit seems an important one to me, and likely to resonate for a mum of teens and a daughter who has suffered bullying and needing to regain confidence. I love this idea of a recovery college!

    Good colour but cheap neckline: looks like it is held together by an elastic band.

      I hear they have many and long vacations abroad. A lot more than most really working people.

      She indeed does seem to do multiple public appointments per day. Must be exhausting.

    Natan strikes again with a huge disappointment, equally disappointing is Max not pulling her hair back into a more professional look for a King's wife.

      Is that a new rule? A queen consort has to pull her hair back in order to look professional? Ridiculous.

    She deserves a holiday or two for the amount of time spent in the public eye.

  13. I do like the colors of this ensemble. The blouse is attractive, the pleating of the neckline I like adding interest. It appears to be on the larger side.

  14. Bleu et gris sont en parfaite association tout en convenant à la blondeur de Maxima !

    @21.00 speak for yourself as far as 'habits' are concerned, very immature comment.

    Maxima wears all colors well, unlike most. Attractive pantsuit; love what I can see of the jacket.
