Maxima on film

Queen Maxima opened the International Rotterdam Film Festival last night but the headlines were all about her. The Dutch queen chose an outfit by Etro that stood out in more ways than one. There were quite a few film stars at the event but no one came close to taking the lead - Maxima outshone them all.

The Rotterdam International Film Festival focuses on cutting edge material, works by independent film makers and experimental material from emerging talents. So this was never going to be a little black dress event. But Queen Maxima's choice of on trend print with even more on trend wide leg trousers summed up the spirit of the event and turned her into the film festival's star.




The festival, which usually runs at the end of January, was set up in 1972 so the print on the royal jumpsuit was a bit of a nod to its origins but it was also another example of the fabulous run of fashion form currently being seen on this queen.


 
 


 Three years ago this month, Beatrix of the Netherlands announced her intention to stand aside and paved the way for her son to succeed her as king. And it's clear from this latest appearance that Maxima is confident and calm in her role as consort as she stole the show on this big night out.
