On Thursday afternoon, April 2, 2026, Queen Máxima of the Netherlands officially opened the renovated boulevard in Scheveningen. The Scheveningen boulevard, for decades one of the most well-known and most visited coastal promenades in the Netherlands, has been upgraded in recent years to better accommodate the increasing number of visitors.
Queen Máxima’s visit began with a plenary program, including a speech by Mayor Van Zanen and a presentation on the renovation. This was followed by a walk along the boulevard, during which she was informed about the redevelopment and spoke with entrepreneurs and other stakeholders involved in the project.
The redevelopment focused on creating an accessible and attractive public space, with attention to sustainability and the connection between the beach, the sea, and the city. With more space for pedestrians and recreation, as well as improved facilities, the boulevard contributes to the economic and cultural development of The Hague’s coastal area.
Very pretty again, nice saturated colour and a dress showing but not showing off what a nice feminine figure she has. And Máxima here and there, preferably at least once a day, is medicine for the soul - she radiates an unbelievable amount of good positive vibes. How she does it - I don't know, but sure it works.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely comment! I agree with you.
DeleteThe dress is a copy of the embellished navy day dress Princess Elisabeth of Belgium wore at the entrhronement of GD Guillaume of Luxembourg. It is an outfit probably by Natan.
DeleteHer hat reminds me of what Charlene wore a few months ago

princess Elisabeth's dress was very different from this one

Yes 17:14, she’s a beautiful moment each day. This bottle green is very lovely for her, and the hat is gorgeous … but when I saw the neckline that can’t fit any woman I said to myself, hello Natan, up to your old tricks. She looks stunning nevertheless but I do wish Natan would finish their clothes neatly and properly tailored especially on necklines.
DeleteTotally agree with you. Queen Maxima posts almost always cheer me up. It’s a double bonus when she’s wearing a great outfit like this one. Lovely colour, perfect fit, great shoes, fab hat. A positive role model for sure

Nicely written anon at 17:14, couldn't agree more 😊
DeleteThe style of the neckline is not only used by Natan. Other designers use this style too @19:41. You simply don't like it, which is normal. Not everybody can like the same. When I said that it looks like Princess Elisabeth's dress I compared the shape of the bodice (photo N°9) of both dresses, not the draping of the fabric in the front, which was not used on Elisabeth's dress.
DeleteAbsolutely lovely!!!MR
ReplyDeleteElegant & stylish outfit 👏👏
ReplyDeleteGreat dress colour and fit other than the dart coming up from the waist end in an awkward place. I think it is Natan based on the cut of the bodice.
ReplyDeleteLove Maxima's complete outfit, but especially the dress and hat. The shapes and styles of both work very well on her (I also like her flamboyant hats too, when she wears them, such as yesterday). The forest green colour is also lovely. That's now 4 successful outfits in as many days. Way to go, Max!

The top of the dress is a hot mess
ReplyDeleteIs it ? Really ?
DeleteWhere is the KING????
ReplyDeleteWhere are YOU?
DeleteWhy the UPPERCASE?
Ps. The King is off doing his own work no doubt.
I'm sure he's home sitting in front of the TV eating salty snacks and not having a care in the world...OR he's working like he does most every day. We just don't look at pictures of him working because he doesn't dress pretty, LOL

Lovely! Well done. Maxima is again right on.
ReplyDeleteBelle robe verte qui épouse à ravir la silhouette de Maxima !
ReplyDeleteI agree with both comments- @17.14 &

Very nice colour and stunning little hat, but oh those bare arms: It was a Wendy day with a max temperature of 10 C degrees!
ReplyDeleteThis green dress looks wonderful, beautiful outline of the dress, fits well, love the design and length. I do love the brooch at her waistline, gorgeous size, perfectly positioned, emerald and diamond brooch, as are her earrings, splendid!
ReplyDeleteThe coat, perfect color, looks incredibly warm. Love the color of her shoes. Her hat looks stylish.
If a coat is worn, wear it, otherwise it acts like a cape, so wear a cape. The dress is well tailored. The wig hat works well.
ReplyDeleteWig hat! Oh dear I think you are a Dutch person and what you mean is the wedge shaped hat. Wig translates as wedge in Dutch. It took me a while until I twigged.
DeletePerfection from head to toe! Love Maxima!
ReplyDelete@15:35 - you didn`t `twig` very well. A wig hat is precisely that - a hat that has a hair piece or wig attached.
