I think Maxima looks stunning. She did not try to imitate the colourful habits of the Brunei Royals but showcased some stunning elegance with her choice of dress and jewels. She also let it to the Dutch Queen to shine. HM opted for the Pearls, i had hoped for the saphires but realise that these pearls are just as precious and that is why the Queen may have chosen them.
