The orange Natan dress looks very summery, it suits Maxima perfectly!
I actually like the bold colours, but just think she is quite over-dressed for the event which was actually the opening of a new museum for micro-organisms, named Micropi. If she wore this to Royal Ascot or the Trooping of the Colour or an event of the scale, it would have been fine.
It was an opening. When it is an opening, a christening, a first-stone-laying, a tree-planting, etc. then you will see Queen Máxima with hat, gloves et al. Also the Queen's Hofdame was wearing hat and gloves. See picture: http://www.ppe-agency.com/500px/Sep2014/PPE14093054.jpg
When it is "just" attending a symposium or visiting a project, it depends on the formality and the nature of the event. When it are her "pet topics" (Orange Fund, UN inclusive finances) the Queen will let it all hang out and appear informal.
There are hat and glove event, and there are "go shiny" events. The latter is where the outfit, IMO, would be appropriate - christenings, weddings, celebrations, the Trooping (or equivalent). For other events where hats and gloves are still used, I would prefer to see a little more reserved dressing.
I like the colors. I would have liked the dress if the print would have been more subtle.
I wish she would retire these shoes, sadly they seem to be a favorite.
Looking amazing, as usual. My only complaint has to be those shoes, they are the same ones she wore to the opening of the parliament, right?
