If you're looking for a royal with understated, simple style you can easily copy, Queen Máxima of the Netherlands is not that person. The Argentina-born Dutch royal chooses outfits with the most impact, always opting for dresses that steal the spotlight at any event — those that feature bright colors, embellishments, large accessories (hats being her favorite), or prints, and often all of the above together.

To welcome Greek President Prokopis Pavlopoulos to The Hague in the Netherlands, the queen didn't go subtle — not one single bit. In a Valentino dress featuring a Hawaiian beach scene, Máxima caught everyone's eyes, choosing to pair the already-striking dress with a large burgundy hat that complemented her leather gloves, skinny belt, and clutch. We honestly don't think anyone else could pull off this look, but Máxima somehow just made it work. Keep scrolling to get a better look at her dress.
