The couples beamed on the red cart prior to the Contra presentation, a classical Korean music and dance performance.
Maxima radiated sophistication in a silver dress that she wore under her chic cape coat.
She completed the stylish look with nude stilettos and a clutch bag, and added some more glamor with a diamond necklace.

Yoon’s trip comes at the invitation of King Willem-Alexander, making this the first state visit to the Netherlands by a Korean president since the two countries established diplomatic ties in 1961.
Yoon’s visit comes after King Charles and Queen Camilla welcomed them to Britain last month.
The royal family hosted a glittering state banquet in their honor at Buckingham Palace for their first state visit since the king’s coronation and the second of his reign.
Prince William and Kate Middleton also played a key role by greeting the President and First Lady at their London hotel.
The Prince and Princess of Wales traveled with Mr Yoon and Mrs Kim to a ceremonial welcome to the Horse Guards Parade, where the King and Queen waited.

After the event, they traveled to Buckingham Palace to view a special exhibition of items from the Royal Collection relating to South Korea in the Picture Gallery.
A guard of honor formed by F Company Scots Guards gave a royal salute amid traditional pomp and ceremony – and the King and Mr Yoon inspected the troops.
Members of the Scots Guards recently deployed to South Korea, where they trained troops. Mr. Yoon walked past the two rows of Guardsmen and glanced at the soldiers before returning with the king to the royal pavilion.
Weeks of preparation had preceded the official ceremonial welcome at the Horse Guards Parade, with more than 1,000 soldiers and 230 horses gathered for the occasion. In total, seven military gangs and nine military units were involved.
