Queen Máxima opened the Majoor Bosshardthuis (Major Bosshardt House of the Salvation Army) in Amsterdam yesterday. Major Alida Bosshardt was well-known for a life of dedicated service to vulnerable members of society.

For this visit, Queen Máxima repeated a headpiece of silk flowers in beige-pink and a darker, duskier rose hue studded with beige net veil.

I’ve never entirely embraced the pairing of this headpiece and coral lace dress and the inclusion of coral flower earrings and pearl trimmed necklace take to well into ‘too much’ territory for me. The dress is beautiful, the jewellery is fun and the headpiece has good potential… but not all together.

On Tuesday, Queen Máxima attended the opening of the ARTIS Groote Museum, a museum about the connection between humans and all life on earth. For this event, she repeated her circular open-crowned headpiece in draped caramel brown abaca.

While open crowns are not always met here with admiration (!!), this one pairs so beautifully with this dress. It’s not just the shared hues that work (although they do!), it’s the shared softness between the flowing dress and draped headpiece that make the two pieces fit so well together. I’m a fan.

Yesterday, Queen Máxima visited “Het Jeroen Pit Huis”, a center for families with children with disabilities. She wore a new headpiece of pale pink silk roses studded with blush net veil.

It’s great to see the Dutch queen wearing venturing beyond Fabienne Delvigne’s studio (I wish she did so more often!). The gentle colour, face-framing shape and nod to nature in this design create a very pretty piece that pairs beautifully with Máxima’s curled hairstyle and slightly darker muted pink dress. It’s lovely.

The Dutch royal family celebrated the King’s birthday in Maastricht on Wednesday with a day of events attended by crowds not seen in several years!

For this event, Queen Máxima wore a new hat. The muted pink wide brimmed design features a flat crown and is simply trimmed with a slim hatband.

I like the pairing of the muted pink hat with more vibrant dress and the scale of the hat works well with the the dress’ caped bodice.
