Hat
The outfit is ‘matching the rest of her outfit of course – Máxima is stylish!’, according to Bild. Why is she wearing her hat on the right? That has to do with the king. She always walks to her left. To ensure that Willem-Alexander can always look his wife in the eye, and that there is no showpiece in the way, the hat is worn on the right side of the face, held in place by special pins that can fend off gusts of wind. .

The Queen
By the way, Máxima wears the hat more often on important occasions. In 2019, she met Britain’s Queen Elizabeth II, with our Queen wearing the exact same dress and hat.
