The most playful element of Queen Maxima’s look, however, was the fascinator she chose to wear to accessorize the look. The Maison Fabienne Delvigne hat featured a flower at the center, with structured details in a complementary hue.

When it came to her accessories, Queen Maxima chose to keep her pieces simple. She wore a few delicate bracelets; tear-drop earrings and carried a clutch that coordinated with her neutral-toned pointed-toe pumps.

Queen Maxima’s wardrobe is often full of whimsically inclined pieces, featuring floral patterns and vibrant hues. Prior to her recent royal outing to Codam Coding College’s fifth anniversary celebration, the royal proved she can merge the best of two distinct elements in her royal wardrobe.

On Tuesday, the royal fashioned a Max Mara suit in a shade of light green for a visit to the Leading Locals Network of Mind Us in Wieringerwerf. Queen Maxima’s royal power suit moment illustrated how even a more tailored look worn by the royal can still incorporate her playful approach to fashion.

Queen Maxima’s style has always been one of vibrant hues, playful patterns and whimsical inspiration. While the silhouettes she fashions are classic, the royal rarely sacrifices her own style sensibility to appease an assumption of how royal women should dress. Instead, she opts for a refreshing combination of tradition and individuality.
