Beautiful!!! LOVE the sapphires! Max really knows how to bring out the 'big guns' to major events

 

[An Ard Ri]

We've seen this gown before on Queen Máxima,was in in Japan anyways the queen looked radiant tonight,great hair and wonderful jewels.

 

[Empress Merel]

This is one of her Prinsjesdag gowns isn't it?

 

[IloveCP]

The gown is absolutely stunning. The design is exquisite. She was the he best dressed.

This is one of her Prinsjesdag gowns isn't it?

Yes, the 2015 one! it's based on the Japanese room in Paleis Noordeinde if I'm not mistaken

 

[Marengo]

I love the embroidered dress but for some reason it doesn't work well in combination with the red sash and the big sapphire jewels. Too many things going on perhaps , though that is usually something that she can get away with. Anyway, always good to see the big jewels out & about, especially after last week's disappointment.

 

[Yashal]

I'm with Marengo.
All the pieces are amazing but not together.

 

[carlota]

so glad to see her reusing that dress - it is marvelous.

 

[Pranter]

Not a fan of the dress but her jewelry is lovely.

Maxima always creates an impression!
She looks striking, especially compared to some of the other ladies.

Say what you like about her, Maxima never fades into the background!

 

[Frelinghighness]

Fabulous dress, so,great to see it again. The giant sapphire tiara and earrings seem to,overpower it though. Wish she had used her pink stones

I'm glad I am not the only one disappointed by Maxima's ensemble. Marengo, you hit the nail on the head when you said all the pieces are amazing, and they are, but nothing seemed to mesh, not the gown not the sash, the whopping sapphire tiara and the lavender clutch.

I would go so far as to say that all these mismatched pieces together diminished each separate part. The gown seemed washed out, the tiara just clashed and looked smaller somehow. I don't think Max was feeling very special when she made her choices because for her, this is a big miss.

Love the sapphire tiara happy to see it again

The gown is beautiful and am happy she recycled

But the red sash doesn't fit well with look. And while I love the tiara, I do find her a little heavy in jewels. But she us still in my top three of the night, behind Sophie and Victoria.

 

[Mari-Anne]

I do not like the color of Maxima's dress, its just too pale but I must admit that Maxima knows how to wear big tiaras. Wow. She definitely won't fade into backround even when wearing pale dress.

 

[dazzling]

Its a nice dress and the colors work on Maxima, but the overall of the tiara and the sash, it didn't work, the dress didn't look grand enough.

better photo, for me Max' outfit worked well.

 

[Spheno]

At least she needed blue clutch

 

[Mirabel]

Maxima looked very regal; she knows how to make an impression.

I have loved all her outfits lately and I love the last gown I think it the jewel at the waist!!!!

 

[Duc_et_Pair]

Fabulous dress, amazingly beautiful jewels. The diamond trellis collier with the sapphires is so beautiful. Not to forget that imposing diamond-and-sapphire sévignée!

 

[Empress Merel]

She looks beautiful once again. Her hair is gorgeously styled

The best dress of the evening... flattering and beautiful !

 

[Countessmeout]

Beautiful dress Top five both nights, third last. I'd say second tonight.

 

[Mari-Anne]

Its really great to see modified version of the Prinsjesdag 2016 Claes Iversen gown again (then she wore it with dark blue blouse).

Love, love, love everything about this look ... dress, hair, makeup.
Plus points for her amazing necklace, earrings and that huge brooch at her waist.
Very beautiful and regal look!

 

[MARG]

What she said!

I love the look far better than the night before where nothing seemed to go together. This time the blue and gold gown segued easily into the sapphire necklace, earrings and honking great big, but delicate, brooch.
