On July 25, 2026, Queen Máxima officially opened WorldPride 2026 at Vondelpark in Amsterdam. WorldPride is an international event that draws worldwide attention to human rights. Amsterdam is hosting WorldPride 2026 for the first time, with the event taking place from July 25 to August 8. Queen Máxima also visited Sport Pride and Youth Pride.
The programme includes a Pride Walk from Dam Square to Vondelpark, a boat parade on the canals, the UNITY Concert at Museumplein, and the Human Rights Conference at Nieuwmarkt. Culture, human rights, connection, visibility, and celebration are at the heart of the programme. The highlight is the famous Canal Parade, where substance and entertainment come together into a vibrant spectacle.
I like her dress, hair and shoes. She looks great. But that hat was unnecessary for the occasion.
ردحذفMaxima carries on the tradition of hats worn for openings. I like this tradition very much and glad she keeps it. Her mother in law wore hats for most appearances and Maxima has kept the tradition going in this way. I think it’s very important. Besides which, this is a fabulous hat and takes a simple outfit and makes it marvellous.
حذفAgree
حذفThe hat was very necessary for the ocassion! Infact this hat was made for Pride day, the only time it fits in well 😅
حذفHer hat couldn't be big enough for this festive and important occasion. The fact that she opened the World Pride 2026 meant the world to the LHBTQ community, in The Netherlands and in the whole world. The Queen of The Netherlands being openly supportive for gay rights is extremely important. Look what happened in Berlin yesterday. The huge occasion in the Vondelpark in Amsterdam was very festive and she dressed accordingly. This was so well done by Queen Maxima. Proud to be Dutch!
حذف@21:12, "unnecessary"? If that hat was good enough for Her Late Majesty (who would probably never have said "unnecessary" for the hat of a fellow queen and anyway, she was herself a good friend of big hats with big flowers): https://x.com/RickEversRoyal/status/2081023421069025752/photo/1 , then it will be good enough for me, even if you deem it unnecessary :-)
ردحذفWow, it's seems so long ago that Maxima last wore this ensemble -- 2019 at Royal Ascot. I still love the entire look; and the hat is divine.
ردحذفAs to the hat's appropriateness, there are a number people in the photos dressed dramatically, so the look doesn't seem so out of place. In fact I think the feathers add a fun touch which suits the festive atmosphere of the event. Lyra
Ben justement non, très apprécié pour l'occasion
ردحذفLooks like a bird blew up on her head
ردحذفHow can you wear something like that on the head?!
ردحذفWhy is wearing a tree on her head
ردحذفWhat? Is that hat?? I don't understand it.
ردحذفNice dress also great smile..css
ردحذفIl n’y a que Maxima pour porter un tel chapeau qui d’ailleurs lui va à merveille. J’aime aussi sa robe. Josée.
ردحذفIts lovely to see a rewear of this very flattering dress, love the color of her accessories, shoes and clutch. Her earrings are beautiful, gorgeous pair of jewels. I like the hat, she has the flair and personality to wear it with confidence. Well done to her.
ردحذفThe hat is embarrassing who wants the darden on her head? And to think some people think the english have bad hat styles. This is no1 in my book
ردحذفThe hat was new when the king and queen of The Netherlands were on official visit to the UK when Queen Elizabeth was still alive. I remember Queen Maxima wore this hat to visit the horse races at Ascot. There she was not the only one with a big hat. The dress was new too then, if I remember correctly. I call it her spider dress. I never liked the dress and the hat is really big.
حذفRidiculous hat.
ردحذفRidiculous in our eyes, maybe, but it is a special day over there. She wears it quite naturally.
حذفThis is a rewear which always should be appreciated. Imv for this occasion, opening the World Pride, she might have done a more colourful ensemble. The hat is a big no for me. It might be right at Ascot where wearing a ridiculous hat is a must, but not a this occasion where people cannot see your face from one side.
ردحذفQuel drôle de chapeau ; par curiosité, j’aimerais savoir ce que cela peut représenter ?!
