At the Winter Olympics, the queen was unanimous with a fashion accessory from a French brand that transformed her look.
When we talk about the style of crowned heads, the name of Máxima from the Netherlands immediately stands out. Known for her bold colors, spectacular hats and infectious smile, the Queen never leaves anything to chance. As during one of her last official outings to support the Dutch team at the 2026 Winter Olympics. The queen unveiled a look of which only she has the secret on February 9.
The style of Máxima from the Netherlands is a clever balance between royal elegance and a touch of fantasy. Whether you see her in a vibrant monochrome ensemble or adorned with multi-colored beaded necklaces, she always manages to maintain a structured look. To show her unwavering support for Dutch athletes, she abandoned gala outfits to adopt a more casual but still sharp wardrobe. She was wearing a long-sleeved steel blue blouse and wide-leg gray pants from her favorite brand Natan. As for accessories, the Queen of the Netherlands favored a timepiece with character, capable of crossing fashions without aging. This is the famous Tank de Cartier sold at a price of 16,100 euros. Created in 1917, this watch with its rectangular design inspired by the battle tanks of the First World War has become the ultimate symbol of timeless elegance.
By wearing its Louis Cartier Tank in yellow gold on a black leather strap, Máxima is making a strong stylistic choice. This watch not only tells the time, it punctuates the silhouette with a note of absolute classicism. It allows you to wear bright colors, like this bright sky blue, while maintaining a chic and traditional base. It’s the accessory that “finishes” the look, giving it that luxury guarantee. The strength of this watch lies in its versatility.
You can pair it with a strict pantsuit for a “working girl” look, or pair it with a vaporous blouse and a fancy necklace to break up the overly romantic side. By choosing an iconic model from the French house, Queen Máxima proves that true style lies in investing in statement pieces.
