Wow! From a completely aesthetic point of view, Maxima has looked absolutely fantastic on this trip! I really like the cream coloured suit and the purple dress!

what happened in these photos? the man looks like he's pointing his fingers & prohibiting the prince for something.
are they just haggling or there's some sort of incident?

Something seems wrong with the skirt of the dress as we can almost see her body shape. Sorry but we see too much. The skirt of the dress should also have an opaque white double like the top has.

i also thought that at first, but don't think there's any problem. people from the south (south america, south europe, africa...) tend to be more expressive and we like moving hands a lot and touching people while we talk

i reallyliked maxima's coat today... looks very much alike to the fabric of the skirt and jaquet she wore yesterday, doesn't it?

it's too bad that there aren't any pictures of lalla salma and maxima. i read that salma only meets with kings and queens but it's not true, when she came to new york she met with hilary.

I love pretty much everything she is wearing. She looks like she has lost all of her pregnancy weight, and looks great in her clothes.

My favorites so far: the red dress she arrived in, the long pink jacket with the white dress (lovely color!, and the cut makes her look so slim), the beaded top (which mimics the mosaic work behind her) with the brown pants, and the blue pantsuit (lovely color and cut, and really shows how much weight she has lost)

My quibbles:
- the purple dress (I think it makes her legs look chunky)
- the pointy shoes which make her feet look really big
- her skirts are a little high I think for a visit to a muslim country. I think it's considered inappropriate to the culture (if not disrespectful to the religion) to show your knees - are there any moroccans on the board who could help me out on this?

I think Maxima is dressed just fine.
You'll see women showing a lot more skin when meeting the moroccan royals at the Marrakech Film festival.

btw, this top is striking

And its funny how it sort of matches the mosaic on the wall behind Maxima.
