Queen Máxima of the Netherlands looked elegant on her official visit to Colombia on behalf of the United Nations.
The 52-year-old royal arrived yesterday in Medellín to promote financial inclusion and innovation as part of her role as special advisor to the UN.
Always the style star, the royal looked typically chic in monochrome – wearing an all-black pantsuit with just a hint of nude.
She donned an oversized jacket that featured a sleek box shape on the shoulders, along with a pair of matching high-waisted shorts.
Underneath the jacket, she wore a black crew-neck shirt and finished off her efforts with a chic pair of black and tan pumps, which she paired with a patchwork bag of the same color.

To demonstrate the seriousness of the commitment, the royal toned down the glamor and opted for very subtle makeup, enhanced only by a thick line of black eyeliner.
Her blonde locks were tied down while her bangs were swept up and away from her face, meanwhile she opted to forgo any facial jewelry.
The monarch appeared very animated as she toured the event and greeted the various guests present.

The news comes as her husband, King Willem-Alexander, 56, shared a glimpse into his private study, where he displays a moving portrait of his wife and three daughters.
The King of the Netherlands received politician Alexander van Hattem at the Huis ten Bosch Palace in The Hague on Friday, February 23, as part of his efforts to meet with the presidents of the factions of the country’s First Chamber.
Following the meeting, the Royal Family’s Instagram account shared an official portrait of the meeting, showing the two men sitting on either side of the fireplace in the King’s private study.
The royal father of three is seen sitting next to a framed photo of his wife, Queen Máxima, 52, and their daughters, Princess Catharina-Amalia, 20, Princess Alexia, 18, and Princess Ariane, 16.
In the undated image, Máxima and her daughters wore white blouses and posed on a gray background.

The four royal women wore their long hair down for the photo shoot and Máxima opted for minimal makeup.
The Royal Family captioned the image of King Willem-Alexander’s meeting: “The King receives for a presentation the President of the First Chamber Fraction of the PVV, Alexander van Hattem, at the Huis ten Bosch Palace.
‘This conversation concludes the series of receptions of the presidents of the factions in the First Chamber. They have been received in recent months for a (renewed) presentation of the King. The new First Room was installed on June 13, 2023.’
