Queen Máxima's Eveningwear Part 7: October 2021 - November 2023

[An Ard Ri]

I don't know why, but for me the dress, Tiara, and hairstyle does not work.. so much is going on on the dress, a simple updo would be much better..Its nice to see the Aquamarine Tiara again.

Agree and perhaps it would have worked better with a simple updo indeed!

 

[Tarlita]

The gown doesn't work and the lighting could have been better for this photo. I wish Her Majesty would change her lovely hair to a much lighter blonde which I believe suits her better.

I dislike the gown. I don't like the design or style.

 

[Alisa]

Ugh..noWhy so much gray for a country as rich and colorful like India?

Furthermore she has many beautiful saris and Indian inspired outfits.

She should have worn one of these beautiful dresses!!

Queen Máxima wore this dress previously at Prinsjesdag 2018; while I really like the aquamarine tiara; the dress seems to have worked a bit better for that occasion with the flowery hat.

 

[Marengo]

The dress has already a lot of things going on, with the drapery effect, the oversized sleeves, the different colours, the weird folds around the neck area, the lack of support below, the shiny fabric etc. The last thing it needs is 'more'. I think it would have looked better without the sash and jewels. This style of dress is better suited for a more informal event but as it is I am not enarmoured by the combination.

Much as I agree with your sentiment, of the 3 images on the link, 2 were worn when W-A and Max visited India a few years ago, so were unlikely to get repeated.

She could've worn the unrepeated dress moreover so what if it was repeated. This Luisa Beccaria dress was first worn at a major state occasion in the Netherlands a few years ago and yet she wore it last night.

The Ladies both look very pretty. I love the red dress!

 

[Moonmaiden23]

I'm some photos it looks like wide leg pants that Maxima is wearing. I hope it's a evening gown.

From the waist up it is very elegant...perfect.

It isn't... See for example this picture.(PPE-series)

In royal cirlces typically if clothes are worn when visiting a country in the recent past, they tend not to get repeated when the very same President and his wife visit your country. Maxima wore the pink embroidered sari-style dress in New Delhi at the state banquet hosted by President and Mrs Kovind, so it would be unusual for he to wear the same gown when hosting them at the Royal Palace. Perhaps she could wear it anothe rstate banquet or formal event.

I agree from the waist up really lovely and a nice neat hairstyle too.

 

[Duke of Marmalade]

A bit underwhelming for me. Dress is not the best choice and the pantsuit ... the hair remains an issue, the darker colouring doesnt do Maxima any favours.
WA looks kind of scruffy.

A dolman sleeve, in velvet, is not a good look for Maxima.

 

[Marengo]

From the small images on the picture-page I thought she was wearing the peacock necklace. But zooming in it seems to be a modern piece. A disappointing look.

She wore the dress before, in the Cabo Verde. What a difference the hairdo makes:

It has been repeats for the most part lately, HM must be saving up for a rainy day.

The dress is by a brand named Zeus+Dione. The brand seems to be from Greece.

The necklace: the website it is unsure if it is paste or if the queen is using a necklace of grey pearls, diamonds and rubies. I imagine the first is the case.

 

[An Ard Ri]

Queen Maxima could have saved the look by doing something with her hair which is a complete mess.

 

[IloveCP]

I only like the color.

 

[Alisa]

It's a no for me. We're it not for the cut outs in the sleeve the dress would be perfect for winter. Except it is not winter but Spring!!!

 

[Katymcwaity]

I only like the color.

Same here!

Queen Maxima…the Queen who takes a dare in clothing designs! Its not a bad dress, but i would like to see the fabric in another dress design. I like the coloring on Maxima a lot. Does anyone know who the designer is? Maybe the Queen is trying to help out her countryman? Just a guess. It’s no worse then some ladies who go for the puffy short sleeves, or strange hats. Lets see what the Queen wears next!

It looks more like a curtain than a dress to me. Terrible look, dress & hair.

Asides from the critter fuzz its a very polished look on Queen Maxima and this sort of hairstyle really suits Queen Maxima the best.

 

[Frelinghighness]

A truly ugly dress. The earrings and hairstyle are wonderful

 

[MsJulie]

I like the dress alot on Queen Maxima. I am not overly fond of the feather cuffs, however, I think most of the Royals try to help the designers out by wearing their creations. I can see in the future the feathers being discreetly removed

I have to agree with you: it is a great dress. I am not a massive fan of the furry cuffs, but then, Maxima has the personality to carry them off, so I think she just about gets away with them.
