A Rainha da Holanda e a Grã-Duquesa do Luxemburgo escolheram tecidos semelhantes em cores que se completavam. Adoro o conjunto da Maria-Teresa numa cor fantástica que lhe fica muito bem. Máxima em amarelo (será??) estava igual a sim mesma. Não esqueçamos Stéphanie que estava simplesmente amorosa em verde e com um chapéu lindíssimo.
The Queen of the Netherlands and the Grand Duchess of Luxembourg chose similar fabrics in matching colors. I love Maria-Teresa's outfit in a fantastic color that suits her very well. Máxima in yellow (??) was faithful to herself. Let's not forget Stéphanie who was simply loving in green and wearing a beautiful hat.

Há muito que se especulava quando Máxima usaria pela primeira vez a Tiara das tiaras holandesas. A tiara Stuart, que obviamente irá merecer um post exclusivo, foi usada pela última vez pela Rainha Juliana nos anos 70. E esperou, pacientemente, até ontem para reaparecer pelas mãos da Rainha das Rainhas.
There was a lot of speculation as to when Maxima would wear the Tiara of the ALL Dutch tiaras for the first time. The Stuart Tiara, which obviously deserves an exclusive post, was last worn by Queen Juliana in the 1970s. And she waited patiently until yesterday to reappear by the hands of the Queen of ALL Queens.

Máxima alterou ligeiramente a tiara. O enorme diamante Stuart em forma de pêra, que lhe dá nome, foi retirado do topo da tiara e substituído por um diamante mais pequeno e dois enormes diamantes circulares também foram retirados e usados como brincos. E sabem que mais? Gosto muito mais assim!! A completar Máxima também nos trouxe o Broche em forma de laço que também faz parte do conjunto Stuart e que Máxima já tinha usado anteriormente.
Brilho por toda a parte!! Tanto brilho! Overdose de brilho! Morri!!! Obrigada Máxi!
Máxima altered the tiara slightly. The huge pear-shaped Stuart diamond, which gives it its name, was taken from the top of the tiara and replaced by a smaller diamond and two huge circular diamonds were also removed and used as earrings. And you know what? I like it so much more like this!! Maxima also brought us the huge bow-shaped brooch that is also part of the Stuart set and which Máxima had previously used.
Bling everywhere! So much sparkle! Diamond overdose! I died!!! Thank you, Máxi!!

Ah é, Máxima usou um vestido amarelo mostarda. Bonito, mas um mero acessório comparado com todo o resto!
Oh yes, Maxima wore a yellow mustard dress. Beautiful, but a mere accessory compared to everything else!

Quanto às damas do Luxemburgo, a Grã-Duquesa Maria Teresa usou um vestido rosa blush, que lhe fica divinal, e a Belgian Scroll Tiara. Maria Teresa perdeu uma oportunidade para contribuir pela morte certa por overdose de diamantes se tivesse optado por usar a Luxembourg Empire Tiara. Grande falha MT!! Grande falha!
As for the ladies of Luxembourg, the Grand Duchess Maria Theresa wore a pink blush dress, which is divine, and the Belgian Scroll Tiara. Maria Teresa missed an opportunity to contribute to certain death by diamond overdose if she had chosen to wear the Luxembourg Empire Tiara. Huge missed oportunity MT !! Huge!!

Quanto a Stephanie, a nossa boneca pediu um vestido de gala emprestado à sogra (via Heaven) - porque ela gosta de fazer isto e porque há que fazer render a alta-costura - e optou por usar duas tiaras. Ah pois, porque com Máxima em casa, uma pessoa tem que fazer pela vida. A Grã-Duquesa hereditária do Luxemburgo usou pela primeira vez a Tiara/Gargantilha de Pérolas e Diamantes Chaumet (versão sem pérolas). No pescoço um colar de safiras e diamantes que também pode ser usado como tiara. E eu gostava de ver isso!
As for Stephanie, our doll took a borrowed gown for her mother-in-law (via Heaven) - because she likes to do it and because she understands the need of recycling haute-couture - and she decided to wear two tiaras. Ah, because with Máxima in the house, a girl has to fight back. The Hereditary Grand Duchess of Luxembourg wore for the first time the Chaumet Diamando and Pearls Choker Tiara (version without pearls) and a necklace of sapphires and diamonds that can also be used as a tiara. And I would like to see it!
