Queen Maxima of the Netherlands was a vision in white on Wednesday while attending a financial health event in London.
The Dutch royal donned a glamorous calf-length, off-white dress for the occasion. The short-sleeved garment featured an elegant, sharp neckline and a hemline that danced round the lower leg. The 53-year-old wore a matching, chic cape over the dress, with the padded shoulders and draped sleeves enhancing the royal’s polished look.
Maxima teamed her stylish outfit with a pair of pearl drop earrings, a golden stack of bracelets and a leather banded watch. As she stepped outside, she kept herself warm by layering a belted, camel-toned wool trench coat over the top which perfectly matched with her suede camel court heels.

Keeping with her refined look, the Dutch royal styled her blonde locks in a chic bun and kept her makeup natural with a radiant complexion coupled with a dark smokey eye.
The queen has been enjoying her time in London and was spotted on a festive girls’ night out on Tuesday at London’s private members club Loulou’s. Maxima stunned in a figure-hugging burnt orange, velvet three-piece suit that featured opulent silver floral buttons embellished onto the waistcoat and blazer.
The royal has also been busy attending numerous events during her stay and featured on a panel for the Financial Times Global Banking Summit on Tuesday. Maxima is the UN Secretary-General’s Special Advocate for Financial Health. The queen oozed style during the annual summit in a sparkling, figure-hugging suit.

Morgan, Francesca Carlesi, UK CEO of Revolut and other bank leaders from Barclays, NatWest and Deutsche Bank.

Discussing her role as UN Secretary-General’s Special Advocate for Financial Health exclusively to HELLO!’s sister title ¡HOLA!, Maxima said: “I am very grateful that it has been made possible, that I have been given the space to do these things.”
She continued: “At the same time, that comes with a tremendous amount of responsibility, requiring proper co-ordination with ministers and their ministries.”
And it looks like the queen’s daughter, Princess Alexia, is set to follow in her mother’s footsteps as she is currently studying a degree in Science and Engineering for Social Change at University College London.
