Yes, she looks stunning

In my opinion, when one is paying an official visit to a country, it is important to look professional and that usually means wearing "professional" attire. I had seen these photos without knowing the purpose behind the visit, I would've thought that Máxima was on a private holiday. I thought the canary yellow outfit was more suitable for a private afternoon lunch and the brown cardigan and ill-fitting white pants looks like she was shopping at a market on a Saturday morning. The definitive informal outfit for me was the close-fitting green jacket and the peasant skirt worn with the green sandals...The outfit is nice, and something that I would actually wear, however it is a big no-no in my opinion for an official visit."

We'll have to agree to disagree as I cannot see anything wrong with her clothing so far, she's dressed no differently to many other female Royals when visitng a much warmer climate. Moreover, she looks professional, summery and most importantly comfortable
It's not as though she's fulfilled her offiical duties in jeans and a T shirt!

I wonder if máxima is travelling on a private airplane.
Because there is a chaos here(in Argentina) on the airports

why is there chaos? is it true, that the summer is beginning in argentina?

Summer is beginning, but that's not the chaos.
The plane pilots want to be payed a higher salary so no Aerolineas Argentinas planes

Beautiful photos, misshelen! Maxima looks like she really knows what she is talking about in the first photo! All eyes are on her -- good for her for doing this work.

Then we'll agree to disagree. Her outfits from yesterday and today appear far more professional and appropriate than the days before. Being in warmer climate doesn't automatically mean that the royal should suddenly start dressing more casually. In past years Maxima has visited Africa and the Dutch Antilles in the prime of summer and her outfits were all elegant, appropriate, and most importantly professional. Her outfits today and yesterday reflect this. My point is that this is in my opinion how she should've been dressed all along.

If I am not wrong, in this picture she is talking to the President of Brazil Central Bank, Henrique Meirelles.

In defense of my point of view that I did not esp like some of her earlier outfits (white pants/brown sweater, green jacket/white peasant skirt): it's not the informality or even the clothes in and of themselves that bothered me so much as that I did not think they were flattering on her. For example, the t-strap shoes are dressy and cost plenty but they do not flatter her legs IMO. Similarly, the white pants and white peasant skirt make her look wider on the bottom. I agree that the clothes make sense in the situation, but I just don't think they make her look her best.

To end on a positive note - her shoes are much better in the last 2 outfits: no t-strap so you have an uninterrupted line of leg. I esp like the shoes with the Bank President - very sexy!

Not necessarily, I for instance, am able to read and listen Spanish, but I can't read or write. Surely it's easier for Portuguese speakers to learn Spanish, but it's not like both languages are identical.

That's correct, Anna. I'm portuguese and I totally understand and speak spanish, but because I'm used to read and talk in spanish since I was little.
Of course it's more easy for Máxima understand portuguese than to learn Dutch, but it requires some previous study. There are words written exactly the same way in both languages (portuguese and spanish), but with different meanings.

About Maxima's outfits: I adore them, she always choose her cloths so well, with a lot of taste. White it her perfctly, imo.

I like this oufit a lot. she looks gorgeous. (hey, she is gorgeous!) though i'd prefer so see some colored accents. like a light blue or maybe necklace and earrings. that pink cloche hat she wore at koninginedag a few years ago would look great with this.

i agree... those shoes are not really flattering. it's a pity she has sooo many of those t strap ones in a hundred colours! to me normal shoes, as the ones she wore today, look a lot better.
(however, that didn't stop her from looking great as always)
