I don't think we can fault her EVERY time she wears her hair down. It's probably very fine and wispy, but it was very tame in the second set of photos.
Also, i think the shiny-ness of the coat is probably due to the flashes inside a dim interior of the synagogue. Not a big deal, in my opinion.
Nah, I don't think "we" fault Max EVERY time she wears her hair down. But I DO agree that her hair DOES seem very fine and wispy.
For example:
Netherlands | Royal Hats
Scroll down to the post "Queen Maxima Opens Utrecht Park". Check out the pics, particularly #7, which is a rear-view shot.
I'd tend to think that those pics (#7, especially!) present a GOOD case for Max' hair being on the fine, wispy side.
So, just as a thought, if I were Max, I think I'd have a tendency to wear my hair up more, or perhaps under hats (and turbans!) more. I'd probably most likely be rocking hairpieces a bit, too, to try to give my natural hair as much of a rest as possible. ESPECIALLY seeing as how I'd be traveling all over the Devil's half acre right now, and that fine, wispy hair would undoubtedly be taking one heck of a beating (as I've mentioned elsewhere on this board, already).
My thought is that hair is and can be considered a part of a total fashion look. And like, with shoes, jewelry, hem lengths, etc., sometimes, you can get a PART of a total look right, but completely miss the mark on one or more other aspect(s) of it.
It's GREAT when EVERYTHING works, but, again, sometimes, it doesn't. And when that happens, more often than not, whatever it is that ISN'T working stands out and usually gets commented on more quickly and/or frequently than everything else that IS.
And since we're all here to share our comments and opinions on pictures we see of people in the public eye that are posted here and elsewhere, we do.
We just look, share our thoughts and comments, and have fun, knowing as we do that no, NONE of this is a big deal.
The shiny coat fabric?
You've got a point, possibly. Maybe it WAS the low-key synagogue lighting that made it appear shiny.
Still didn't care for the shiny look of the fabric, though. No matter HOW it came about.
As for Max' UK outfit?
LOVED IT!
I thought she looked SO pretty, and I especially liked the red nails!
WTG, Maxima!
