Royal Style: Queen Maxima 2016

It was back to business for Queen Maxima last week, with a New Year's Reception at the Royal Palace. Wearing a burnt orange dress complete with a brown cape, earthy tones are certainly a fashion trend to watch out for in 2016!

Plus I love her diamond dropper earrings.

Queen Maxima also attended the Keukenhof Flower Show, attending the Agriculture Entrepreneur Prize Awards. Her black and white houndstooth dress is very chic, as is her black cape!

Queen Maxima upcycled her inauguration gown for the state dinner - the striking cobalt blue gown was customer made by Dutch designer Jan Taminiau. Queen Maxima accessorised with a diamond and sapphire tiara, created by skilled Parisian jeweller Mellerio. It features 655 diamonds set in platinum, with 33 Kashmir sapphires nestled at the bottom of the diadem. WOW.

For the second post in the Royal Style series, I'm taking a look at the fashion of Queen Maxima. Queen Maxima became queen consort of the Netherlands on 30th April 2013.

Like her counterpart in Belgium, Queen Maxima favours brights and bold outfits, standout hats and serious jewellery.

Check out some of my favourite Queen Maxima looks below.
