On January 21, 2026, Princess Laurentien of the Netherlands attended the National Reading Breakfast, which marked the official kick-off of National Reading Days 2026, at the Amsterdam Public Library (OBA), Reigersbos location. During the event, the Princess read aloud from “Little Monkey” (Kleine Aap), which was selected as Picture Book of the Year 2026 by a committee of librarians, booksellers, and teachers.
EsQualo Leopard Jacket






Laurentien’s style is not mine, but she has a beautiful smile that lights up her face, and likely, the whole room. The lady in blue and yellow seems to have tossed a cord jacket casually over an unironed chambray shirt and black trousers or jeans, and looks a million dollars! Her earrings in blue and enormous smile turn simple clothes into a fabulous outfit, a bit in the bold style of Maxima.
ReplyDeleteThe jacket looks lovely on the model but not so good on Laurentien.
ReplyDeleteThe skirt looks like it is made of a bad fabric. Maybe these clothes are from their (she and her daughter) 2nd hand store.
My thought as well
DeleteBelle dame que Laurentien dont j’ai toujours admirée les look originaux avec de gros bijoux ainsi que la coiffure particulière sur cheveux courts !
ReplyDeleteZoals gewoonlijk vreselijk gekleed, ze heeft natuurlijk ook alles tegen dat moet eerlijk gezegd worden.
ReplyDeleteThe lady in the yellow jacket: brilliant and joyfull!
ReplyDeleteLaurentien borrowed a jacket from her daughter, always exuberant, but not always tasteful.
My opinion as well, except that I don't like the jewelry.
ReplyDeleteNot a fan of a skirt that clings to the upper thigh. She has a very eclectic style
ReplyDeleteAgreed. Jewelry is too much.
ReplyDeleteThis outfit is well put together and looks stylish. Its not my style, but my the Princess wears this so well. She has confidence and panache to pull it off successfully.
ReplyDeleteTo me she tries too hard to look `boho chic`. The jacket may be designer but looks Primark, and the rest of her outfit looks as though she has raided a charity shop. Overall look is a mess, not individualistic at all. Like The Emperor`s New Clothes, is she being plauded for who she is rather than the reality?
ReplyDeleteShe is not a bad looking lady but she chooses most of the time clothes which doesn't fit well or are in bad colors. Her hairstyle is looking better than before. At least she has a normal short haircut now. She has always a beautiful smile.
