Oh, Máxima, that outfit does absolutely nothing for you! The hat is very nice, but the outfit makes her look about eight and a half months pregnant

I think the outfit itself is nice, just the way she put the jacket around her makes it look rather odd and it isn´t flattering her figure either. Still she has worn worse things these last days.

I think Máxima is losing her great fashion style that I used to like in her first days as a Princess. Now, she wears these horrible gym hairbands, those full skirts and flashy hats. This new dramatic fashion is too much for anyone, especially for a Princess. Some cloths are pretty (the Prada dress is beautiful, imo) but not for her kind of body.

Fantastic how the Queen is in perfect shape for a person of her age. She seems so interested all the time. She's lovely!

I don't like this new style of Maxima and the hats. Very unlike her, for a moment I thought I was seeing Mabel or Laurentein!

I agree.. I'm also quite disappointed by Máxima's style.

it suits the country she is visiting, except Bhutan is only for exclusive hippies, you have to spent a certain amount of money a day . I like the way her hair is in the pictures of Dazzling, although she sometimes needs to comb it.

IMO: I like her outfit (hat included) for the visit with the authority (prince?).

But, the dress for the archery..... I have no words to describe it: ethnic, tribal?

wow, what a horrible dress. she looks more like she is going to the brazilian carnival rather than an official visit!

apart from that, she is adorable as always...

Well, I have a feeling that she took a drawing form one of the little princesses, and had it made into a dress......

HOLA magazine makes a summary of the visit - regarding hats. Praising her as always ... *sigh*

Well, isn´t HOLA praising anyone at any time?

Her dress of today must be the weirdest one I have ever seen her in. Maybe she went shopping with Laurentien ?

You're right. If HOLA happened to make a tiny attempt at criticizing any royal openly sometime, I would happily buy it, but so far...

I was thinking...

Máxima tried archery previously in Mongolia, during their official visit in 2006. Judging by her looks, we’d surely hope that she was still there. Incredible change of criteria, regarding clothing, in just one year!

Mongolia 2006 … classy and great matching outfit

Buthan 2007 … folky ‘woodstock-rules!’ outfit
