Queen of the color clash! Máxima of the Netherlands stuns in a red-and-purple dress as she arrives in Rotterdam to present an award

Queen Máxima showed off her style talent this afternoon during the presentation of the 2023 Cultural Fund Prize in Rotterdam, the Netherlands.

The Dutch royal, 52, stunned in a Claes Iversen dress from her collection, paired with red suede pumps and a matching clutch.

The vibrant, knee-length sheath dress featured contrasting lace appliqués and all-over embellishments – created in shades of mulberry and red.

Maxima beamed when she arrived at the annual event in Theater Zuidplein.

The wife of King Willem-Alexander wore glamorous makeup, with heavy eyeliner, bronzed cheekbones and a glossy, nude lip.

She completed her look with understated diamond earrings, while leaving her blonde locks loose.

Earlier this month, the Prince Bernhard Cultural Fund removed the Danish prince’s name from its title after discovering that he was a member of the NSDAP, Adolf Hitler’s Nazi party.

“This name fits who we are today, with a focus on our content,” director Cathelijne Broers wrote in a statement on X, formally Twitter.

The Cultural Fund originated from the Prince Bernhard Fund, to which the Prince was affiliated from 1940 until his death in 2004. In 1999 it was changed to the Prins Bernhard Cultuurfonds.

The Culture Fund Prize has been awarded since 2010. This is awarded annually to a recipient focused on a different style of working.

Last year the prize was awarded to the Anne Frank Foundation. The organization received 100,000 euros because it has ‘brought Anne Frank’s life story and ideas to the world’s attention in a creative and inspiring way for decades,’ said Ms Broers.

It comes after Queen Maxima of the Netherlands turned heads in a fiery red dress as she attended an event to mark the fifth anniversary of a non-profit organization that aims to create a ‘debt-free country’.

The mother of three dressed up to impress as she organized celebrations in The Hague for the SchuldenlabNL Foundation, which works to relieve Dutch citizens of their debts.

Maxima turned heads in a tight-fitting red midi dress with long sleeves. She combined the dress with a pair of dark red suede pumps and a matching leather clutch.

Being a fashionista, she paired the bag and shoes with a wine-colored poncho, which she later took off as soon as she entered the building.

She opted for minimal jewelry and accessorized the look with a pair of red chunky earrings, while wearing just one ring and one bracelet.

Her signature blonde locks fell loosely around her shoulders and served as the perfect frame for her glamorous makeup.

The royal opted for black smoky eyeshadow, liquid eyeliner and a rosy pink lip to complete her makeup look.

She appeared cheerful as she made her way through the event and greeted everyone in attendance.

During the event, which took place today, participants reflected on the work that financial consultancy Deloitte and SchuldenLabNL have done to alleviate debt burdens across the country.

SchuldenLabNL, a non-profit organization, today celebrated the five-year anniversary of its effort to improve the effectiveness of Dutch debt support.

Queen Máxima, honorary chairman of the SchuldenlabNL Foundation, spoke to various professionals about her passion for the initiative.
