Along with her royal engagement apparel, Queen Maxima added further touches to her nautical look. The royal wore a pair of navy slingback pumps courtesy of Guglielmo Rotta, based in Italy, and carried a shoulder bag by Marni.
When it came to her accessories, Queen Maxima opted for two statement pieces. The royal wore a pair of large, curved gold hoop earrings by Danish brand Monies and also wore an ornately designed necklace by Pauline Wiertz, made of gilt and ceramic “peanut” beads painted in shades of blue, gold and white.
Though Queen Maxima is known for often wearing pieces that evoke a whimsical aesthetic, this latest look demonstrates her versatility and ability to stay on-trend.
Queen Maxima is the latest high-profile figure to wear the vest trend, which had a resurgence over the course of the last few years. Such stars like Jessica Alba have worn an oversize iteration of the vest trend at such events like The Championships, Wimbledon, while stars like Willow Smith gave the trend an early 2000s edge with a fitted silhouette.
While the royal will always be associated with sartorial whimsy, Queen Maxima has proven her ability to style such trends as the power suit.
