I don't like this - but that is a Personal Taste
ReplyDeleteI am not a fan of her outfit; the color combination is not really adequate IMV. The hair looks as having been trimmed recently, but however rather miserable. The thinning technique applied is excessive.
ReplyDeleteHer natural hair is already thin enough. She doesn't use hair thinning techniques I suppose and if she does it is not wise.
DeleteJe n aurais jamais associé ses 2 couleurs, mais c est Maxima
ReplyDeleteFroufrou
This top does not look good. And the parrot-yellow trousers do not make it better.
ReplyDeleteShe needs some advice from her daughters about what to do with the hair.
ReplyDeleteThey have completely different hair so any advise would not be helpful. She has fine hair and prehaps it just doesn’t photograph well and sometime hair products make it look stringy
DeleteThank you 16:33
DeleteNo, just no one so many levels
ReplyDeleteA spectacular colour combination love it. But this is an official opening of a big culrural event. Couldnt she have done something nice with her hair which looks greasy and stringy.
ReplyDeleteThat is the kind of hair you get when it is bleached too much. It looks greasy but I am sure she washes it every day, which is not always good either I hear from several hair stylists.
DeleteContinuing story: with hair like this it doesnot matter what clothes you wear: the effect will be spoilt.
ReplyDeleteWell... This time i will keep it to... What a beautiful flowers! Hahaha
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to reading your comments

What an odd color combination for an outfit. Stringy hair strikes again. Feel sorry for the young girl, does not look (at least in this moment) like she wants to be there.
ReplyDeleteI can’t quite work out the colours fr the photos. I’m sure the pink and yellow shades must work in reality but often the lighting and photography flashes drain the actual colours.
ReplyDeleteNo excuses please, everybody can see that these 2 colours are not going well together. On Dutch websites I have seen other pictures of Q.M. in these clothes and they looked the same as here. But the eternal repeating that her hair is greasy and stringy is becoming as boring as the eternal repeated comments on D. Sophie's clothes and on CP Victoria's hair. These royal ladies are only human beings like anybody else. No hair stylist can do miracles with damaged hair or with hair that would look much better when cutted short. And no general stylist (if they have one, which I think is not the case for every royal lady) can do miracles if they won't listen to good advice and think they know the best. They could at least try something else now and then.
DeleteMustard yellow is a colour I never like no matter who is wearing it. This is not one of Maxima's best looks. The peachy top doesn't really go with the mustard pants or skirt (not sure). She really is having a bad hair day here. I sympathize. Sometimes no matter what you do, your hair has a mind of it's own. Maybe there was a lot of humidity,
ReplyDeleteOh dear I don't even like the flowers 12:30. As far as Dutch flower arrangements go its a total dissapointment. The blouse and trousers the less said the better. It is definately one of her misses.
ReplyDeleteA rare miss for Queen Max .
ReplyDeleteOdd colour combination but somehow it works, despite being in your face bold. She looks nice in pick. Seems to me we saw this colour combination worn by Melania Trump visiting the queen a few years ago. She had a yellow dress with a large pink belt.
ReplyDeleteI like the concept of the pink and yellow together, but I remember hearing on a fashion show once that the saturation needs to be the same when mixing disperate colors. So if the pink was more saturated or the yellow was a pastel yellow, I think this combo could work.
ReplyDeleteI am going to focus on the positive and say that she always has a lovely smile.
