Girls’ night out! Queen Máxima of the Netherlands stuns in sensational shimmering dress as she steps out solo to Paris with Brigitte Macron

Queen Máxima of the Netherlands looked radiant as she arrived at a museum in Paris this evening to open an exhibition.

Joined by French first lady Brigitte Macron as she entered the Musee des Arts Decoratifs, the Dutch royal, 52, turned heads in a striking Iris van Herpen dress as she prepared to open an exhibition by the Dutch designer.

The floor-length dress featured a high neck and cape, plus embroidery and a shimmering full skirt, which meant all eyes were on the Argentine-born royal as she stepped onto the red carpet.

Mother-of-three Máxima wore her blonde locks in a neat but relaxed updo and opted for statement earrings with her glamorous dress.

Meanwhile, Emmanuel Macron’s wife Brigitte, 70, channeled her signature Parisian chic style in a white coat and black heels.

At the event in the French capital, both women stepped out without their partners, as neither King Willem-Alexander nor Emmanuel Macron were present at the event.

The Queen’s appearance was on the occasion of the opening of the exhibition Sculpting the Senses in the museum, by Iris van Herpen.

As she stepped out of the car to greet the French first lady, Brigitte appeared to gesture to Máxima’s breathtaking dress in recognition of her style talent.

Iris van Herpen is a Dutch fashion designer who launched her fashion brand in 2007

She celebrated the 15th anniversary of the Het Begint met Taal foundation, wearing her outerwear over a little red dress and completing her look with a matching hat and pumps.

The foundation helps 15,000 volunteers to support and coach 28,000 non-native speakers in learning the Dutch language and culture.

King Willem-Alexander’s wife showed off glamorous makeup, with heavy eyeliner, bronzed cheekbones and a glossy, nude lip.

The queen’s dress and accessories were also repeats. The first, first worn in 2018, featured a fitted silhouette and asymmetrical ruffles.

That same year, she debuted her scarlet calot hat by Fabienne Delvigne, while the Natan pumps take pride of place in the royal wardrobe.
