Maxima looks absolutely stunning!!! I think it's her best Prinsjesdag-outfit so far!
She looks very beautiful and classy! 
Queen Beatrix's hat looks nice, but the colour is a bit "boring".
I also like what Margriet and Laurentien are wearing!

Princess Margriet never lets me down on Prinsjedag. She always has the classiest and most lovely outfit and carries herself in such an elegant and dignified manner. I want to be like Princess Margriet when I grow up!
Thanks for the pictures so far everyone!

Maxima looks great! Beautiful fit, the colors look great on her. I really like the fitted jacket and full skirt combination. I also like the flower thing in her hair. One of her best outfits in a while. She always seems to pull it together exceptionally well for Prinjesdag.

They all look wonderful. Princess Maxima looks stunning! I love that white rose stuck in her hair. And Princess Laurentien actually dressed very nice as well.

Maxima looks amazing (nothing new there)! Love the white and black combo and the flower hairpiece, which only she can pull off.

Prince Constantijn of the Netherlands and prof. mr. Pieter van Vollenhoven were in jacquet (formal civil daywear). A sash is never worn with a jacquet, only with uniform or in 'white tie'. Instead the gentlemen wore a bâton (rosette) in their lapels. Because the ladies were in long daywear (the event was around Noon), they can wear sashes. The Prince of Orange wore an uniform and they wore a sash as well.
Orders:
The nassaublue with orange sash of a Knight Grand Cross in the Order of the Netherlands Lion, the hightest civil Order.
HM The Queen
HRH The Prince of Orange
HRH Princess Máxima
The orange sash of a Knight Grand Cross in the House Order of Orange
HRH Princess Laurentien
The bâton of a Knight Grand Cross in the Order of the Netherlands Lion
HRH Prince Constantijn
Prof. mr. Pieter van Vollenhoven
Spouses of 'lower' Princes have the House Order of Orange. For decades Prof. mr. Pieter van Vollenhoven had the same Order as Princess Laurentien. But out of benevolence for his almost 40 years loyal service to the Crown, he was bestowed the highest civil Order too.
