During this past year, fashion blogs have been talking all about the Duchess of Cambridge being the most fashionable royal around, even though NY fashion experts have reportedly denied her being a trendsetter. Despite this, the inherent ladylike elegance of Catherine Middleton has inspired trends followed by thousands of fashionistas worldwide even since she was “Kate Middy”, Princess-to-be.
The Kate frenzy having settled down a year later, Princess Maxima’s recent official visit to Oman reminded us that there is another royal fashion icon in Europe.
I could even say that Princess Maxima of the Netherlands except from being utterly stylish, she is also more of a trendsetter. She won’t hesitate wearing clashing colors, unusual shapes of shades, girlie dresses or bold accessories. Let’s first take a look at her sartorial choices during her visit to Oman, then recall some of her loudest fashion statements.
Since her arrival to Oman, Princess Maxima showed her excellence in styling. Wearing a color blocking outfit, she combined a short coral jacket with big geometrical pockets with matching pointed shoes with a very flattering diagonal front cut, beige flared trousers and an orange clutch bag. Awesome.
Next day was black and white from day to night, with the same handbag and two-tone peep toes. Although her morning deux-pieces seemed to overwhelm her personal style, Princess Maxima looked ultimately pretty in her cute evening dress with ruffled sleeves and tiny flower appliques.
A much more flattering choice of jewelry for the evening.
Round-shaped degrade sunglasses. Unique.
Bright Barbie pink adds even more light to Argentinian-born Maxima.
Effortlessly ladylike in total pink nude and lace.
Hollywood fabulous in emerald.
Folklore embroidery, huge turquoise stone earrings and a messy hairdo. An original fashion daredevil.
