Queen Máxima of the Netherlands was ready to do business Thursday when she attended an event held by an organization focused on improving the financial health of the Dutch.
The royal, who studied economics at university and then pursued a career in finance, has been honorary president of host organization SchuldenlabNL since 2022.
Wearing a round-neck midi dress, the 53-year-old monarch looked elegant and serious at the meeting, which took place in the eastern city of Arnhem.
The queen’s avant-garde gray wool dress is cinched at the waist thanks to a wide printed brown belt with a silver buckle.
She finished the look with a pair of brown block-heeled knee-high boots and a small clutch in a similar shade.
