A turban-style headdress catches the eye in Queen Máxima's look

Queen Máxima of the Netherlands, wife of King Willem-Alexander, chose a monochromatic look in a soft sky blue shade, during the opening of the Cooking from the Fridge exhibition at the Bonnefanten Museum in the Dutch city of Maastricht. Queen Mathilde of Belgium had previously adopted the same design in a different colour.

The design was signed by the Belgian “Natan” fashion house, and consisted of a blouse with a specific cut at the waist and a slight shine, which she coordinated with a medium-length skirt with a straight cut and a front slit, along with a wool coat with a cape design, all in the same shade of blue. The Queen completed the look with a turban-like headdress in the same blue color, made by her personal assistant Jolanda ten Brink, who designs some of the Queen's head accessories, along with white gloves, nude-colored high-heeled shoes, and a leather bag with a golden handle.

The yellow version with the Queen of Belgium. It was noteworthy that Queen Mathilde of Belgium had previously appeared in this design during her official visit to Norway, accompanied by her husband, King Philippe, on March 25, 2026, when she wore its version in pastel yellow at the “Deichmann” library in the Norwegian capital, Oslo. She coordinated it with a hat, long leather gloves, a cloth head accessory, and huge gold earrings.

Thus, the two queens presented two different visions of the same design, while preserving the identity of the Belgian house and its imprint on royal fashion.
