Queen Maxima attended King Constantine II’s funeral yesterday, January 16, with her husband King Willem-Alexander of the Netherlands. Other famous royals were in attendance too, including Queen Letizia of Spain.
All guests donned all-black to the funeral, but some opted for dresses while others opted for skirt or trouser suits.
Maxima wore a dress with a pair of black, sheer tights and heeled, knee-high leather boots.
The royal’s black dress was by a favourite label of hers, Natan Couture. However, it was barely visible underneath Maxima’s black, buttoned coat, which she had styled with a slim belt around the waist.
It was knee-length and its collar was upturned. Underneath the collar, Maxima’s pearl necklace would be seen.

As for make-up, Maxima wore a little foundation, lashings of black mascara, black eyeliner, and a subtle slick of pink lipstick.
Royal fans were quick to comment on Maxima’s outfit, but many were unimpressed when it came to her choice of footwear.
Many royal watchers deemed her heeled boots inappropriate for a funeral – claiming they were more suitable for a party.
