Now Where Did I Put My Starter Tiara?

I think we have at least one tiara each, according to my spreadsheet. Some have parures. Any newbies welcome, log your choices.

Queen Maxima in emerald green with a mahoosive hat. She looks great, I love that shade. I'm disappointed that there isn't a big brooch or necklace, though.

A cheese and onion Pringle hat!

I love that shade of green, on Max and generally too.
Disappointed as you are @Maireas that there isn’t any bling added though - brooch or a few more nice sparkly bracelets maybe?

I know, @Tinitiny - she has some great jewellery, and it's not like her to be pared back! We can forgive her, though, as she's brought out a Pringle hat Smile

We missed a quick trip to Dubai by Maxima and Willem-Alexander to open the Dutch pavilion at the Dubai Expo. Here she is getting off the plane in a lovely toffee coloured polka dot dress (I’d happily take that off her), formal in a floral embellished dress for the opening and then…busy in a print trouser suit ensemble for a visit.

I like the print of the trouser suit a lot, but think it’s a bit over powering worn both top and bottom! The dress is an old one, but very pretty especially paired with the olive hat (Queen Mathilde has an almost identical dress, but with the embellishments reversed).

Here is Mathilde’s version of the dress:

I love the toffee polka dot dress. She's also wearing a very impressive brooch! Good looks all round.
Mathilde looks very pretty in that dress, she's normally very reserved so it's nice that she has the same dress as Max!
HM looking very small there Smile

I quite like the green dress, and love the colour of the teal hat and shoes, but I don't think they work together. I agree in needs a bit of sparkle somewhere.
I love both dresses and the trouser suit though! I'm always more a fan of clothes with more movement and drape than a corporate look.

Yes, I like the trouser suit, it's interesting and different.

And at completely the other end of the scale from Max, here is Sophie looking very sleek in a lovely Loewe leather dress (I think she’s wearing it over a jumper). I LOVE this look on her.

Now that is an interesting look. Very different! I like that she's trying something a bit different. I normally baulk at leather clothes, even on Leti, but this works.

That was a good spot about Max's and Mathilde's dresses, Serenster!

gluenotsoup · 06/11/2021 10:23

Sophie looks great there, I hope she wears it again and tries it without the long sleeves underneath. She's pushing her own style boundaries I think. I liked Meghan's leather skirts and silk tops too.
I've had another look at Max's dresses too, the toffee polka dot is just stunning !

gluenotsoup · 06/11/2021 10:25

Also, Zara was spotted at a party wearing black leather shorts and a black and gold top. i can't find a pic though, will keep looking

SenecaFallsRedux · 06/11/2021 12:58

I really like that look on Sophie. Slightly edgy and elegant at the same time.

GrouchyKiwi · 06/11/2021 13:11

That leather dress looks good on Sophie.

TracyBeakerSoYeah · 06/11/2021 15:35

I bet Max was either running late or couldn't decide what jewellery to wear............or maybe as she knew we'd like her 'cheese & onion Pringle' hat so much she thought let that just do the talking Grin
I really like Max's green & white print trouser suit.

Wow Sophie looks cool. I like her leather outfit it's very Leti

This is the only pic I could find of Zara in her leather shorts at Storm Keating's 40th birthday party

Sophie looks fabulous in that dress, as does Zara in that blouse and shorts.

Ooooh I like that on Sophie, quite edgy for her. Suits her :)
