Wearing her hair in a chic chignon, the mother-of-three added a pair of large statement earrings to her ensemble.

Waving to crowd of waiting well-wishers, Queen Maxima entered the Palace and posed for pictures along with her husband King Willem-Alexander of The Netherlands, 51, and his mother Princess Beatrix, 80.

Inside the venue the Argentinian-born Queen removed the cape that was keeping the cold at bey to reveal a coordinating red dress.

She teamed the knee-length dress with a pair of brown suede shoes.

The day before the meeting, the Dutch Queen was seen in a bright colourful number at the Muziekgebouw Aan’t IJ concert hall.

She was there to present the Prince Bernhard Culture Foundation award to composer Reinbert de Leeuw.

Taking to the stage the Monarch was seen in a blue fitted dress which featured ribbons of different colours running around the dress at the shoulders, waist and skirt.

Embellishing the hemline of the dress were pink and blue feathers contrasting the yellow and purple stripes.
