Photos: Queen Maxima Of The Netherlands's Shoe Style Over The Years

Máxima Zorreguiet became Queen Máxima of the Netherlands on April 30, 2013, when her husband Willem-Alexander’s mother, Queen Beatrix formerly abdicated the throne to them to the couple. Queen Máxima has a penchant for bright colors, unique textiles and sculptural details that add eye-catching flair to her royal style. The Argentina-born royal often wears classic footwear silhouettes — such as pumps, slingbacks and ballet flats — that color-coordinate with her fashion. In recent years, pointed-toe pumps in a plethora of colors have been a closet staple for the Queen.
