I like Maxima´s hat too, though I think most here will hate it, her outfit however... the balloon skirt, from Natan probably? It does nothing for her IMHO, she can do a lot better.

HM´s outfit seems of a light material so that must be nice considering the heat, still the outfit isn´t nice at all, neither is the hat IMHO.

Anyway, clothes aren´t that important of course, I am looking forward to the visit and hope they will ride an elephant somewhere (I doubt they will though). I think that apart from belgium this is the first country that HM paid a second state visit to?

It would be great to see at least one of the Cp couple on an elephant ride, cant imagine the Queen, but who knows I would also like to see them or Maxima in a Salwar Kameez (indian tradition wear) I think she'd look lovely & would be a nice change. I remember Mette-Marit in a lovely one when she was in India.

This is the second state visit to India, she visited once before in 1986 with her husband, pictures in this post

[Princess Maxima]

Máxima looks very elegant today, and the hat is beautiful!

I'm soooooo excited about the visit. Its a treat to besseing both the Queen and the CP couple in India, I think its Maxima's first visit as crown princess.
I stay in bangalore so i will be looking forward to seeing them.

the hairband imo would have looked better if she wore it higher, now it accentuates her wrinkled brow and makes her forehead look low

like the colour beatrix is wearing

[princess leonor]

Wow, that's really very orange. It looks really nice on Maxima though. Not sure about the hairband, but it sure is original. Love the Queen's outfit, lovely colour and beautiful hat

I like Maxima's first hat and second dress; too bad they didn't match or else they would have looked great together!!!

The hairband is horrible. She looks like wicked Laurentien. No Maxima, no no! Don't ever put that anymore at your head!

[Empress]

I have to say I think that the orange outfit is worlds better than the one she wore on the first day. Its more vibrant, just like her.

Uahhh, I hate that orange hairband Máxima wore!
Awful thing!
Apart from this Máxima's orange dress looked really pretty..
but that headpiece.... I
IMO it made Máxima look like an Aerobic Trainer!


Máxima's first hat was a bit toooo big for my taste.. it looked interesting anyway.

HM Queen Beatrix looks great. I prefer the purple outfit.
Pretty hat! Purple suits her a lot!

Queen Beatrix always wears purple. I think she love that colour

I like Maximas orange dress, orange is a good colour for her...don´t know what to think about the hat.
