Wearing an all-gold ensemble under a camel coat, Queen Máxima of the Netherlands looked unusually radiant today as she attended a circular economy conference in the Dutch city of Nijmegen.
The royal, 52, made another fashion statement when she paired a tight-fitting jacquard pencil skirt with a blouse-sleeved, crew-neck silk top.
Máxima’s outfit made an even bigger impression thanks to the wide, glittering gold belt that cinched her waist.
The beaming mother-of-three completed the outfit with a pair of gold suede pumps and a matching clutch bag.
With her blonde hair brushed back into a chignon, she revealed a pair of large gold earrings complete with pearls.

Queen Máxima was visiting De Vasim in Nijmegen, the oldest city in the Netherlands, to attend a conference organized by the Ministry of Infrastructure and Water Management.
She was photographed touring the conference, and at one point the smiling Queen herself took to the podium.
The meeting was dedicated to boosting the circular – or sustainable – economy, which aims to minimize waste across industries.
Máxima’s outing today came hot on the heels of her visit to the Hedon pop venue in Zwolle yesterday afternoon.
As honorary chairman of the More Music in the Classroom Foundation at the venue, she looked stylish during her performance.
She donned a two-piece brown suit in a tweed-style fabric with a semi-deep V neckline. It had three-quarter length sleeves with small flares below the elbow.
The short blazer was cinched in at the waist with a wide black belt and her matching A-line skirt flowed to just below the knees.

Máxima matched all her accessories, carrying a black handbag and wearing black knee-high boots to match her belt.
Meanwhile, she opted for a relaxed and light make-up look, boasting a fresh base and fresh peach blush, as well as light eye make-up and a nude lip.
Máxima wore her long blonde locks loose, flowing over her shoulders in loose waves, and tucked behind her ears to keep it away from her face.
In terms of jewellery, the mother-of-three wore bangles on both wrists, as well as large gold earrings in her lobes.
As she made her way to the venue, Máxima was pictured beaming and looking delighted to be at the appointment.
The royal website says about the Art Camp, which started today (Wednesday): ‘Through workshops, future pedagogues and teaching assistants learn to use artistic disciplines in their work at and after school.’
It adds that around 60 students are taking part in workshops in photography, theatre, dance, music and cartooning.
During his visit, the king spoke to the students about their experiences at the workshops.

She also attended a meeting with on-site professionals where they discussed how ‘the importance of arts and culture education for MBO students is central and how this can be strengthened within these courses’.
Máxima’s final exercise of the day was to ‘talk to cultural institutions in the region of the three participating MBO courses about the range they can offer’.
The royal website explains: ‘Art Camp MBO is the first step in a three-part program of More Music in the Classroom in collaboration with Noorderpoort, Alfa-College and ROC Midden Nederland.
‘The aim is to strengthen the cultural teaching in these upper secondary vocational courses, so that teaching staff and teaching assistants can stimulate the arts and culture offered at and after school.’
It adds that the More Music in the Classroom foundation ‘has been engaged in structural music education for all primary school children in the Netherlands and the Caribbean since 2015’.
