I think Maxima looks lovely. I always like it when she has color close to her neck because it takes you right up to her face and I think she has such a pretty face -- even prettier IMHO when her hair is pulled completely off her face. I also love the look on the Queen's face as she is raising the toast to Pres. Putin....it is kind of mischevious and makes me think she can probably be a very fun dinner partner!
Anyway, thanks to all for the photos. Ropura, as others have said, I also appreciate your own photos! Thank you for posting them.

Mr. Putin seemed in a very good mood, he smiled a lot and seemed to have a good time with the royals. His face changes a lot when he smiles, it becomes less scary and more human. A good thing they all talk german together, no translator needed.
It was a real pity that there were no tiara's at all, I believe it was the first incoming state visit without any tiara's. But considering Beatrix distaste for flashy jewels she must be secretly pleased. I wonder what we will get at the jordanian state visit, no tiaras at all or only small ones again, the queen with the eternal (and boring) small diamond floral tiara probably. Also the background of the group picture is not that nice, the palace has many walls which are much more interesting.
The dresses were all ok, but no stunners I think, I wish I could see a better picture of Maxima, to identify the brooch she is wearing (on such a strange place). Mrs Ludmilla Putina looks better then usual IMO.
On the royal message boards a poster noted that the Queens of Denmark and Great-Britain still have to make a state visit to The Netherlands, and the King of Sweden and the Grand Duke of Luxembourg as well. I hope it will happen within this reign, but probably not as we do not share to many evonomical intrests with them :(
And thanks to everybody who posted the pictures...

I liked the outfits from today. Very nice autumn colors on both Queen Beatrix and Princess Maxima! I've really liked Queen Beatrix's hats for this visit. Very elegant.

Den Haag, NETHERLANDS: Dutch Princess Maxima (C) and Russian President Vladimir Putin's wife Lyudmila (R) listen to the general manager of the Mauritshuis museum Frederik J. Duparc during their visit in The Hague, 02 November 2005. Putin called 02 November for a common European effort to combat international terrorism, which he blamed for the killing of a Dutch film-maker a year ago. "It is in our common interest to strengthen the stability and security of the whole European continent and to increase the effectiveness of the struggle against new threats, including of course international terrorism," Putin said

Is there a picture of QB in her "Russian style" dress without that shiny shawl covering it up? You can tell from the bottom half of the dress that it has a very pretty red color to it and I would love to see the whole dress.

I'd like to see the skirt or dress that's beneath the fur-trimmed wrap the Queen's got on. The red and gold pattern makes me think it's Russian-inspired -- very appropriate for the occasion and very trendy for fall 2005!

I wish I could see the red and gold dress Beatrix is wearing. It looks like sari borders rather than Russian inspired, IMO, but gorgeous in any case.
Also love her black embroidered suit, though I would have worn the jacket with solid color dress/skirt-top underneath.
Not loving Maxima's outfit. I think she needs to lose some more of her pregnancy pounds before she wears outfits like today's, with the high cut jacket and tight skirt. Loved the outfit, just not on her at this weight. Also, too much hat.
