Great color, but I find the outfit overall awful. Don't like the fabric or the hat with it. |
I loved this outfit the first time she wore it on a state visit. I would like to see it with a different headpiece or even a proper wide brim hat for a change.

I don't mind the color, but I dislike the fit of the dress. It is not flattering to her figure.

Great color, but yeah, not such a great outfit. The fabric is a bit too shiny for my taste, and the style is not the greatest either.

^^^I agree, the only thing I like about the outfit is the color.

Idon't like the cut of the typical natan skirt in this outfit. The jewelry saves it for me!

This dress is absolutely stunning! Beautiful color and exquisite design. Not sure if I like the hat, but Maxima still looks amazing. Fanastic first Prinsjesdag outfit as Queen.

The beading on that gown is breathtaking as is Queen Maxi!! She does her country right. This is one of my favorites of the year for formal fashion. Love the Borneo diamonds as well!

It sort of reminds of a brocade bedspread, but this event calls for a brocade bedspread, and she wears it well.

I may be the only one but I actually like the hat. I prefer these big hats much more than the turbans/ floral head pieces/ pillboxes.
I don't like the combination of the Borneo golden jewelry with the golden dress. But the set itself is lovely and nice to see again.

The hat of Queen Máxima has been designed by Fabienne Delvigne. The material used was banana fiber. What a great day for Jan Taminiau btw, the first prinsjesdag dress of the new queen ánd the civil wedding dress for princess Claire of Luxembourg!

The wide hat is great and I love such hats rather than turbans and small headpieces.
I really like the dress, the diamond shapes remind me of the red evening dress by the same designer worn in Luxembourg.

Love the whole look, COLOR, simple cut and heavy drape of the skirt, with great texture and diamond motifs.The beading is superb and very regal. I would love to see it in person.
The hat is perfect, I also have a salad bowl like it as well but goes perfectly!
What is the borneo jewelry please? I can't see the jewels on her.
