would have to say that I was choosing or commissioning a new tiara, I would not have gone with this design. the sharp angles on it are rather unattractive and it doesn't look particularly classic

I'm sorry but Máxima looks so well..

DDD · #8 01-19-2005, 04:43 AM

I think she looks well either, but I think that she should make a necklace of those stars which she putted at the side of her stomach?
The dress was also beautiful, I like baloony effects, they make her very princessy.

And when I was looking at pictures of early that day I saw her wearing a Chanel Bag.....Stylish hah.

Not new, Q. Wilhelmina got it as present for her 9th birthday.

maxima looked sooo elegant! wow, that dress is just wonderful.
the only thing i didn't like this time was the make up... maybe too much in her eyelashes!

I believe the tiara is most often worn s a necklace. Queen Beatrix wore it as such during her statevisit to the UK in the 80-ties. Maxima is the first royal to wear it as a tiara (in public). It seems that they are trying to create as many as possible tiaras out of a few. Remember Mabels tiara which was a part of the sapphire tiara, or Anna Pavlovna's spike tiara without the pearls, the emerald tiara without emeralds but with pearls and Queen Sophie's coronet without the pearl-buttons and with diamond stars (I believe Queen Wilhelmina received the stars as a present from het aunt, Princess Marie zu Wied, nee pss of The Netherlands).

I must say that Maxima looks dazzling. Nice earrings as well! I only miss a grand necklace, which is a pity as the RF has plenty of those (the queen does not want to wear them, she once said what why not: 'we Oranges have no neck'.

More pictures from yesterday.

Can't say I like that tiara--it kind of reminds me of what a little girl would draw in a picture of a fairy-princess. Nevertheless, Princess Maxima looks lovely.

The photos from earlier in the day make me think she should cut a good six inches off her hair? She's a lovely lady, but her hair is really in need of attention.

I like that she went with no necklace. I find sometimes some royals overdo the jewels and end up looking ostentatious, and with such substantial earrings I don't think a necklace was necessary. But I'm crazy, I like minimalism when it comes to jewels. I think the good pieces have more impact in that manner.

misshelen · #15 01-19-2005, 10:45 PM

more pictures from 18th january...without necklace ;-)

misshelen · #16 01-20-2005, 06:45 PM

still 1 picture from the New Years Reception...it's a nice picture.

I like her better with her hair loose (if it's not too messy), with her hair in a bun she looks at least 10 years older and her face looks thicker as well.
