On the second day of the State Visit to Suriname, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima, together with President Jennifer Geerlings-Simons, visited Villa Zapakara, a foundation focused on the development of children and young people through art, culture, and education. Villa Zapakara organises creative interactive exhibitions, a range of workshops and activities, and maintains a media library with books and films on art and culture.

The King and Queen then visited the Institute for Natural Resources and Engineering Studies (NATIN), which offers young people secondary vocational education preparing them for technical, engineering, and laboratory careers in the business sector, service industries, and government. In the afternoon, the King and Queen visited the community centre run by Stichting Buurtwerk Latour (Stibula).

    Maxima saura toujours nous surprendre, c’est pour ça que je l’aime. Il faut avouer qu’elle est la seule reine à oser porter cette couleur.

      Victoria de Suède a porté une robe de soirée jaune fluo en mai 2023.
      La reine Elisabeth II a été vue plusieurs fois avec du jaune citron.
      La princesse de Galles a porté au moins 3 robes jaune vif (dont une en Australie en 2014).
      La reine Sonja de Norvège porte aussi parfois une robe du soir jaune (qui pique les yeux !). La reine Silvia aussi, mais plus rarement.
      Rania de Jordanie également. Et je dois en oublier... Paloma.

  3. The color is jarring, but she wears it well. Love her brooch.

      Maybe a detox in your home environment (=write down all the hateful things and look for a solution for yourself instead of distributing it here) would do some good for you.

      I agree, Anon 8:10. I'm sure there are other sites for wannabe comics. This is the wrong venue.

      @4:00 you can still write your opinion but if you could do it respectfully it would fit in better here

    A tried-and-true outfit formula for Maxima -- a template which she has worn quite a bit on official visits to warm climate countries. I love the cheeky 1960s summer vibe of the narrow short dress and wrap hat.
    Today's wearing is more toned down, paired with a neutral bag and heels. My preferred iteration of this hat-and-dress combination was in 2015 in Bonaire, where she paired it with a fun costume bracelet, matching big earrings and gorgeous yellow bag and yellow heels. Lyra

    Vibrant acid yellow and Natan are not my favourite clothes adjectives, but Maxima still looks splendid. If I had to choose, it would be yesterday’s gorgeous large hat over this small one, and yesterday’s refreshing white dress over this one.

    Lovely dress, very appropriate for the occasion

  8. J'ai toujours adoré la couleur bouton d'or ; pour cette occasion, elle va bien à Maxima surtout qu'elle l'a très bien accessoirisée jusque dans ce turban/coiffe !

    I am not sure whether I like or dislike this dress, it kind of grows on me from having been a big no at the beginning. I think it is actually the "hat" that destroys the look, I am not sure if it fits very well, a large brim hat would have been better and been more in the sun-dress theme.

    I absolutely LOVE this outfit. Bright, elegant and so different

  12. Just what I expected her to wear (not the exact combo, of course, I'm no clairvoyant, but you get my meaning). And I mean it in a rather appreciative way.

    This outfit suits Maxima's personality perfectly. It is bright and fun, and she is the one person that should wear things like this.

      Agreed. The bright yellow would not work for most people but it does for Queen Maxima

    Carmen Miranda vibes. The whole style is decades old and should not have been re-worn. She looks top heavy in pic 4, the hat/headwear /wig neither provides protection from the sun or style. The colour is harsh and cheapens the overall look.
