Queen Maxima of the Netherlands in pictures: Stylish royal dazzles in unusual ruffle dress

Queen Maxima of the Netherlands looked beautiful in a grey ruffled dress yesterday in Moerkapelle.

The 47-year-old monarch, who is known for her modern take on royal fashion, looked stylish in the knee-length dress that showed off her tanned legs.

The ensemble featured ruffled detailing down the centre of the dress and along the sleeves.

A contrasting brown beaded belt and matching edging at the neckline and cuffs finish off the feminine look.

The wife of King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands, 51, teemed the outfit with brown velvet shoes and a matching handbag.

The Dutch Queen was in Moerkapelle to attend the annual report of the Netherlands Committee for Entrepreneurship.

The mother-of-three looked happy and relaxed as she explored the items on display and shared a joke with the experts giving her the tour.

Maxima who is mother to Catharina-Amalia, Princess of Orange, and princesses Alexia and Ariane, wore her blonde shoulder-length hair loose, giving a hint of her hooped earrings.

Last week Queen Maxima of the Netherlands was seen sporting a statement hat in Enschede.
