During her state visit to Cyprus, Queen Maxima of the Netherlands once again demonstrated her mastery in the art of elegance.
The Dutch sovereign dazzled at the gala dinner organized at the Presidential Palace in Nicosia, where the Cypriot President, Níkos Christodoulídis, and his wife, Philippa Karsera, received with honors the monarchs of the Netherlands.
Queen Maxima’s style at the Gala dinner in Cyprus
For the occasion, Maxima opted for an impeccable combination: a sophisticated dress by Jan Taminiau and a historical jewel of the Dutch royal house.
If anything distinguishes Queen Maxima is her predilection for jewelry of great significance.
On this occasion, she decided to rescue from the royal collection the bandeau tiara of pink diamonds, a piece that has passed from generation to generation within the royal family.
This tiara was created by Queen Wilhelmina from a set of diamonds that her mother, Queen Emma, received as a wedding gift.
Maxima complemented her look with diamond earrings, several bracelets and a ring with a stunning aquamarine.
Beyond the jewelry, the queen’s wardrobe also grabbed all eyes.
True to her style, she relied on Dutch designer Jan Taminiau, wearing a burgundy wool crepe dress with a strapless neckline and mermaid cut.
The piece included a cape with jewel applications that fell over the shoulders asymmetrically, bringing an air of sophistication and originality to the outfit.
