Queen Maxima Trades Vibrant Hues for Monochromatic Bordeaux Power Suit Look for Museum Tour
Queen Maxima of the Netherlands traded her vibrant hues and floral prints for an understated burgundy power suit during her latest daytime royal engagement on Tuesday. The royal visited the Schoenenkwartier museum in Waalwijk, Netherlands.
For the occasion, Queen Maxima fashioned a burgundy suit by Claes Iversen, which featured high-waisted, wide-leg trousers and a coordinated blazer with a single button at the waist. Queen Maxima continued the monochrome look and coordinated the rest of her ensemble with a pair of burgundy leather pumps by Gianvito Rossi and a clutch courtesy of Sophie Habsburg.

As for her accessories, Queen Maxima wore a pair of stud earrings and layers of gold bracelets on one wrist and a watch on her opposite wrist.
Like a number European royal women as of late, Queen Maxima opted for a power suit moment. Other royal women who’ve recently fashioned similar looks include Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden, Princess Charlene of Monaco and Queen Letizia of Spain. The power suit has also become a wardrobe staple of Catherine, Princess of Wales over the course of the last few years.
But what makes Queen Maxima’s recent look so interesting is her departure from vibrant colors and patterns. Compared to recent looks the royal has worn, this burgundy suit is a more subdued sartorial statement from her wardrobe. More recently, Queen Maxima fashioned a green dress with a large statement shoulder bow by Dutch fashion label Jantaminiau during a visit to the Straat Museum in Amsterdam on April 18.
Earlier this month, Queen Maxima demonstrated her proclivity for floral embroidery, wearing an Oscar de la Renta navy blue frock during the launch of Amsterdams Stagepact MBO at Capital C on April 9 in the Netherlands capital. Bright hues and feminine details have long been a staple of Queen Maxima’s style over the years. But her latest burgundy power suit look demonstrates the royal’s versatility when it comes to fashion.
