Maxima of Holland, a 50’s look for a ceremony against the colonial past

maxima of Holland, 53, is also a queen of style among European royals.

As Letizia of Spain has a decisive and very personal attitude. It faithfully reflects its Argentine origins and a certain Dutch taste that is certainly bon ton.

The Dutch queen especially loves flashy accessories. Like brooches in the shape of insects and decidedly maxi wide-brimmed hats.

Maxima of Holland at the anniversary of Keti Koti

Lhe Dutch queen attended the Keti Koti, a day of remembrance celebrating liberation from slavery. The name means, precisely, liberation from the chains in the Surinamese language.

A highly anticipated event because King Willem Alexander, in a speech, apologized for the Netherlands’ slave past. He asked for forgiveness because his ancestors at the time they did not intervene against the system, the Dutch media repeated.

The speech was given in Amsterdam’s Oosterpark on the occasion of the commemoration of 150 since the liberation of slaves in the former colonies.

Royal navy blue look

Maxima opted for an outfit corporate navy blue inspired by 50s silhouettes. A dress with a bodice in the shape of a shirt and corolla skirt and tone-on-tone accessories.

A decidedly sober look compared to those he usually wears. Perhaps not to attract attention on such an important day for all the Dutch.

The Queen is much loved by Dutch subjects for her sympathy and smile. During her engagement to Willem-Alexander she learned Dutch within a year.
