Queen Maxima of the Netherlands is effortlessly glamorous in black and white coat ensemble and pearls as she attends a symposium in honor of her late father-in-law

Queen Máxima of the Netherlands was effortlessly sophisticated as she attended a symposium celebrating the twentieth anniversary of the Prince Claus Chair for Justice and Development in a black coat and wide-brimmed hat.

The royal, 52, looked chic in the theatrical monochrome ensemble as she appeared at the Nieuwe Kerk in The Hague.

She opted for a stylish, fitted gray dress to complete her look – which appeared to combine woolen fabrics with velvet accents.

The mother of three accessorised with dainty pearl jewelery and black stilettos, adding a touch of daring glamor to her look.

Máxima had a soft makeup look, accentuated with a smokey eye and styled her blonde locks back.

She also carried a small black clutch at the event, where she grinned at well-wishers and chatted with attendees.

The chair was established twenty years ago by Utrecht University and the International Institute of Social Studies of Erasmus University Rotterdam, in honor of her late father-in-law.

The aim is to empower people who are committed to ‘the field of equality and development around the world’.

Today’s event will feature discussions on a just climate transition and hear from impressive changemakers from around the world.

The cohort includes Winnie Byanyima, an aeronautical engineer, former parliamentarian, diplomat, human rights activist, director of Oxfam International and currently executive director of UNAIDS, as well as current Prince Claus President and climate justice expert Dr. Fatima Denton.

Máxima could be seen taking selfies with fans while talking to those in attendance.

It comes as the smiling Dutch royal family dressed for the winter sun last week in a tailored pink dress and a knee-length brocade jacket.

The dress, which was tied at the waist with a narrow suede belt, looked stylish and refined and showed off Máxima’s slim figure.

Meanwhile, the jacket, by Belgian designer Natan Couture, was embroidered in blue, gold, pink and silver, and complemented by Máxima’s jeweled earrings with a combination of more than six colored stones.

The mother of three, from Buenos Aires, wore brown suede pumps and carried a matching handbag.

With a notepad in her right hand, she looked ready for business as she attended the meeting of the National Coalition for Financial Health at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in The Hague.

The coalition brings together a number of companies that are committed to improving the financial health of their employees.

With her blonde hair loose, Máxima breathes new life into an outfit in which she was first photographed eight years ago during a visit to Paris in 2015.

Last month Máxima was again in Paris, together with the French first lady Brigitte Macron at the Musee des Arts Decoratifs.

There, the Dutch royal family turned heads in a striking Iris van Herpen dress as they 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.

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.
