King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima of the Netherlands are undertaking a state visit to the Republic of Suriname at the invitation of President Jennifer Geerlings-Simons. On the evening of December 1, 2025, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Máxima attended a State Banquet hosted by President Jennifer Geerlings-Simons and her husband, Glenn Geerlings, at the Presidential Palace in Paramaribo, Suriname.
For the State Banquet, Queen Máxima wore the Dutch Diamond Bandeau and Diamond Earrings, along with the Dutch East Indies Bracelet. The Dutch Diamond Bandeau was created in 1937 using twenty-seven of the thirty-four diamonds from a rivière necklace presented to Queen Emma by the people of the Netherlands as a wedding gift in 1879.
Sa robe est d’une belle couleur. Elle sied à la morphologie de la reine.
ReplyDeleteLes bijoux sont simples et ont leur charme.
Néanmoins, je trouve qu’une robe avec moins de volants aurait été tout aussi belle.
Outre cela, son chignon est une bonne idée, mais la finition n’est pas bien réalisée.
Dans l’ensemble, je trouve qu’ils forment un beau couple.

Shall I wait for the first "how inappropriate look at the cleavage blabla" remark? :-) For me, this is really a perfect mixture of being unequivocally queenly elegant - but not in an overwhelming way. She has a tiara, but not one of the big guns and this one is really very well chosen. The bracelets and the earrings are probably priceless, but they don't overwhelm the onlooker like a big gun tiara would. She looks gorgeous in this dress, I don't really like this colour personally, but it oes not really count because it looks so good on her. Perfect fit, lovely shoes too. A pleasure to look at, for me at least.
ReplyDeleteKnocked it out of the park Maxima. Superb. I hope WA told her so!
ReplyDeleteA very beautiful flattering dress, am impressed by Maxima on this state visit, she checks all the boxes. The tiara was unnecessary, judging from the very casual crowd, however am glad its a minimal tiara compared to her usual grand jeweley.
