    Oh that Natan top again. Great colour, off shape.

    1. For me the top is ok, but not the hat. The color combination is not usual, but it works.

      I find the design is odd in that the seams seem to be the feature to give interest to an otherwise strange drape to the fabric. That is a Natan go to use of fabric.

  3. The green jumper and grey I can assume its a skirt. Another pair of colors I have never put together before, it works here, nice color combination. The snake/serpent necklace is very effective. The grey shoes and clutch work in well. The hat suits her, I think slightly darker than her skirt.

    Nothing is working here; the grey does not match with the green!, the snake is weird, the oversized hat and extra high heels were not necessary!

      I think it’s a great outfit actually. That forest green with grey and navy is beautiful; the colours marry very well. I love the big hat and think it suits her face beautifully. I agree that these shoes are very high - Mary wears the same and I think they distort the leg/foot and would prefer a shorter heel .

    Maxima is altijd betrokken en geïnteresseerd, maar haar koninklijke kleding is het meestal net niet. De sportieve top gecombineerd met deze gedateerde hoed vind ik echt potsierlijk. Ze blijft erg hangen in een look, die niet meer bij haar en in deze tijd past. Natan aan de kant en een meer eigentijdse gevarieerde kleding collectie samenstellen is de hoogste tijd!

    1. Don't forget there are fashion "cycles", retro is currently in. Natan knows for which customer category they work ! Anyway there are so many various designs in Maxima's choices.

    Ziet er heel ouwelijk uit. Broche echt verschrikkelijk, wie is haar stylist.

    1. Die heeft ze niet, denk ik.

      Inderdaad tuttig en ouwelijk, die malle hoed is echt niet meer van deze tijd, hupsakee weg ermee. Van mij hoeft ze niet in een degelijk tenue te verschijnen, het zijn andere tijden, een koninginnen outfit mag anno nu wel moderner en frisser, past ook meer bij haar persoonlijkheid denk ik zo.

  7. Très jolie couleur verte mais à mon avis, le gris de la jupe est trop foncé ; légèrement plus clair, il contrasterait à merveille - Maxima a sorti le serpent de sa boîte à bijoux pour l'aérer hi, hi, hi...

    Top made out of green cardboard at a design competition called SQU (for simple, quick and ugly). The animal is there because it is Máxima. But I love her anyway.

      Not at all, the top is made of a scuba fabric, which asks for a sportive look. If she had skipped the hat and wore grey pants with the top, it would have been better. As well as she was dressed in the caramel colored suit and cable sweater at the winter olympics in Cortina as bad coordinated she is dressed here. I have no problems with the colors, green mixed with grey. To me these are 2 colours I've seen many ladies with. Grey is a neutral color which can be worn with many other colors like yellow (mustard), pink, turquoise blue, olive green, etc...

      The top is made of Neoprene.

    @07.38 - I absolutely agree, well said. She looks as though she has picked items randomly, and it doesn`t work.

    Un grande NO al serpente sulla maglia, al cappello, a quei tacchi altissimi.
    Salvo l’abbinamento grigio-verde che personalmente adoro.

    Love the outfit and the colour combination. Skirt is too loose which makes the whole outfit a bit voluminous

    Ik dacht dat ze een opleiding volgde voor reservist, blijkbaar vorige week alleen wat fotootjes gemaakt voor de bühne.

    It's amazing that so many of the commenters love Natan outfits. Especially if Maxima wears them. It makes me wonder. Lack of taste maybe?
