Wasn't crazy about the blue top paired with the skirt and there was something not quite right about her hairstyle.
Not for a tiara event ,it looked odd seeing a tiara with that hairstyle.I think she looked good in Kenia, except for the hair. This hairstyle does nothing for her.
I agree. No place for tendrils in my book!I think she looked good in Kenia, except for the hair. This hairstyle does nothing for her.
Is the implication that she has had it since the collection debuted and it’s been in storage, that she purchased it from older stock more recently (which I suppose one can do if one is a queen), or something else?A Valentino gown, according to modekoninginmaxima. They say it is from the summer collection of 2016 and that an inspiration was the art of the Masai tribe.

Máxima draagt nieuwe (!) avondjurk van Valentino in Kenia - Modekoningin Máxima
Voor de contraprestatie in Kenia heeft Máxima een nieuwe avondjurk aangeschaft. De keuze is gevallen op een donkere galajurk.www.modekoninginmaxima.nl
Totally agree with youNot a great choice for a State Visit and looks more like summer holiday wear!
Agreed, nice dress but wrong event. It would be great for an outdoor evening dinner with princess Charlene in Monaco with the mediterranean breeze. But here it looks like something you put on when you go from the beach to the tiki bar for drinks and chicken wings.I quite like the simplicity of this dress. It reminds me of something Princess Charlene would wear. However, it’s such a contrast to the previous evening when she chose a formal, elegant gown with classic ( stunning) jewellery. Perhaps such a contrasting look for the return event- which is a formal occasion- wasn’t a good idea. I think she could have made this dress ‘sing’ if she’d chosen a stunning pair of earrings and cuff. I imagine the material of the dress looks great if we were to see it for real.
The necklace is part of the dress. It seems to have been picked precisely because of its Masai elements which were included in the dress by Valentino.Agreed, nice dress but wrong event.

These countries have great fashion designers, and it would have been nice if she worn a dress from a local fashion firm to pay homage to the country.
I do like her tribal-inspired necklace.
It all works nicely and the colours are nice ,the hairstyle is not too bad either!If only her hair looked a little neater. It’s a lovely combination of dress and cape. I love the colour of the cape and the print of the dress.
The only good thing I can say about this look is that I think most pieces are repeats. Otherwise, I'm reminded of Jill Masterson from Goldfinger.Golden girl Máxima attended the "Quantum for Everyone" event as part of World Quantum Day in Enschede this evening:

They are, you are right: both skirt and blouse have been worn before. They are by Natan - of courseThe only good thing I can say about this look is that I think most pieces are repeats.
I have to see this is not a look for the shy and retiring. Thankfully, Maxima is neither, and has the stature and presence to pull it off.Golden girl Máxima attended the "Quantum for Everyone" event as part of World Quantum Day in Enschede this evening:
