Queen Máxima of the Netherlands brought her signature style to Tilburg this Tuesday as she opened the 20th edition of Beursvloer Tilburg, a networking event that fosters partnerships between businesses and social organizations.
True to her warm and vibrant looks, she kicked off the event by striking a ceremonial gong, a symbolic gesture marking the official start of the day and the promise of new opportunities.
But it wasn’t just the sound of the gong that captured attention. It was Máxima’s dazzling outfit that stole the spotlight.
The queen stepped out in a fuchsia Oscar de la Renta midi dress, paired with towering heels and an eye-catching feathered fascinator.
The bold look stood out not only for its striking color but also because royal fashion watchers noticed that she first wore this same dress in October 2018, and again in April 2019.
Six years later, it still looks impeccable, a testament to Máxima’s reputation as the queen of sustainable royal fashion.
The dress itself is a beautifully tailored piece with a round neckline, fitted bodice, three-quarter sleeves, and an A-line midi skirt.
Made from soft wool, it features delicate black sequin embroidery in a leafy pattern across the shoulder and skirt, adding just the right touch of texture and elegance.
Máxima finished the look with classic black pointed stilettos and bold black accessories, most notably a destructured fascinator in a fuzzy fabric, perfect for the autumn season.
While such dramatic headpieces might seem unusual for a daytime event in Spain, as Queen Letizia rarely wears them, they’re much more common in other European countries, and Máxima has long embraced them.
She wore her blonde hair pulled back into a sleek bun to show off a pair of oversized dark-beaded earrings, and, as always, added her personal touch with a Cartier watch, a gold bracelet with a heart charm, and statement rings in white and yellow gold.
