Queen Máxima's Daytime Fashion Part 5: September 2014 - November 2014

[dazzling]

The suit itself is very nice, very flattering and elegant but the print makes it hard to like. The print is way too much.

An eye-catching look for Queen Máxima who attended a symposium marking the 40th anniversary of the "Stay away of my life" group campaigning against domestic violence in Amsterdam today, October 14. It's a recycled Natan dress:

Thats a really nice eye catching dress but the shoes ruin it for me, they are a bit harsh for the dress. It wouldve been nice if she wore nude pumps.

[DanskPrincess]

I like the dress and the hat! But I don't like the shoes,handbag, and hair! Overall she looks nice!

[KittyAtlanta]

All I can say is I hope she put the wrong shoes on by mistake and didn't notice until it was too late to change them. Shoes can bring down the best outfits.

[bertie5252003]

Not bad I think she could have managed without the hat and the whole look would have been a look better IMO

[roseroyal]

Only thing I'm not digging here is the shoes. I liked the shoes she wore with this outfit back in Oct/ Nov 13 much better.

A nice new outfit for Queen Máxima for the visit from Spain in Den Haag today, October 15:

Queen Máxima however dressed like a Queen, the guests were received with honours, etc. The Dutch followed the protocol and was dressed according the etiquette: formal ladies' day wear. Doña Letizia "forgot" who she is and who she was actually visiting.

Hm, I do not know about the AGREED Dress Code (if there was any).
But when WA and MAx visited Spain for THEIR Introductionary Visit last year it was bare-headed. No hats.

I believe Spain doesn not have a code for hats! I really would have liked it both ladies in hats, in this case it does not look good one with hat and not the other, should had been some kind of communication in the issue

[muriel]

I really dislike the necklace and the leather gloves. Other than that, the outfit works.

[Jacknch]

I love this new outfit for the introductory visit from Spain and I do not mind the necklace and gloves - very nice colours for Autumn! Going back to the necklace, I wonder whether it might have been better slightly smaller and as a kind of collar necklace all the way round?

I don't mind the fact that Queen Maxima is wearing a hat and Queen Letizia is not - both queens are wearing exactly what they would normally wear for such a visit - a huge hat for one and no hat at all for the other.

Bine221 mentions that Maxima did not wear a hat for the visit to Spain and I wonder whether this was related to the heat or windy conditions at the airport? Maybe she didn't wear a hat knowing Letizia never does and perhaps Letizia ought to have worn one this time round. Nonethless both women look lovely.

I agree, the outfit is lovely and very event appropriate. The colours are perfect for the time of year, and very in this year.

[Bine221]

She looks great and she outshines Letizia with her outfit, simply more eyecatching and extravagant.

But you are right, the dresscode should have been communicated between the 2 Royal Houses beforehand.

[Duke of Marmalade]

IMO Max looks every inch a Queen, maybe most of it is down to her personality, she outshines everyone incl Letizia, who looks like an assistant and not a peer. The outfit is very regal, the 'necklace' is very Maxima or rather Wilma Flintstone, but it fits her style, love it or hate it.

Maxima looked lovely! I like this color on her but I don't like the fabric. Her overall looks very well put together.

I think it is communicated: when Queen Máxima came to Spain for the Introduction Visit, she wore no hat and no gloves, very against her usual standard for this sort of events. But this was Spain. The Queen adapted to her hosts.

Doña Letizia came to the Netherlands. It is widely known that the Scandinavians, the Dutch and the British observe a strict dresscode with hats and gloves. Just a peep in the magazines could have hinted Doña Letizia that she should go a level higher in formality.

Maybe it wrecks here that Doña Letizia has no five or six Hofdames at her disposal who check-doublecheck everything?

[bertie5252003]

I love it and only Maxima could get away with that neckalce I love the colour and the hat is stunning
