Braving the storm, the Monarch arrived in Amsterdam in her usual good spirits.
She was wearing a check dress cinched at the waist which enhanced her slim figure.
The dress, which was midi-length, boasts long sleeves and an oversized bow at the collar.
Stylish Maxima paired it with eye-catching red leather boots that seem to be a new favourite and added matching leather gloves and a small clutch bag.
Her crimson earrings added a fun twist to her smart outfit.
Her windswept shoulder-length locks were styled in a straight blow-dry, and she was sporting a natural makeup.
A dash of bronzer gave her a healthy glow, and a trait of eyeliner brought the focus to her eyes.
With Maxima’s usual attention to detail, her burgundy lipstick paired well with her boots and gloves.

The royal sat down with tenants and homeowners to discuss the current Dutch housing market.
The !Woon Foundation is a not-for-profit organisation that works to provide renters, buyers and homeowners about the realities of the market and energy performances.
Much like Citizens Advice in the UK, the foundation gives people advice on how to solve issues regarding the maintenance, rent and other environment-related concerns.
They also provide guidance on elderly living, energy savings and housing quality for all.

After her meeting, Maxima tried to open her umbrella in order to protect herself from the rain, however, the strong wind broke it, and she had to wrestle it into position.
She could count on the gentlemanly help of Evert Bartlema, Director of the !WOON Foundation, who held the umbrella while Maxima sorted it out.
Keeping her composure, the very relatable queen then got into her car, a gust of wind ruffling her blond locks one last time.
