Royal Outfit of the Day: April 28

Comment   

The Dutch royal family celebrated Koningsdag, or King's Day (formerly Queen's Day, the annual celebration of the monarch's birthday), over the weekend. Queen Máxima wore a Natan dress with a hat from Fabienne Delvigne. The three princesses wore Pili Carrera outfits.

This is a jolly little outfit for a jolly occasion, is it not? Máxima's dress is embellished with metallic pieces which pick up the sunlight, a wonderful touch for an outdoor occasion. Could have done without the donut hat (or is that more of a cronut?), but honestly - that's what makes it Máx.

The Spanish royal family, celebrating Easter.

For those familiar with the way the Spanish royals mark Easter, this is nothing new. Apart from being one of the occasions during the year when we get to see Leonor and Sofia it remains, sartorially speaking, an everyday occasion. I like Letizia's outfit here, actually; I do like her take on cropped trousers and heels, though I think the skinny belt on the jacket shown on the mannequin might have helped. Anyway, the average-ness of the thing makes Queen Sofia's egg necklace, an Easter standard, an automatic standout. Maybe I'll whip up one with chocolate eggs for myself next year. Never know when you'll need a snack.
