Queen Maxima of the Netherlands is a total style maverick. From her bold prints to her collection of animal brooches (yes, she has one featuring a set of tarantulas), the Argentinian-born Dutch royal, 54, is not afraid of a boundary-pushing outfit for a royal engagement. But earlier this week, King Willem-Alexander's wife played it safer than usual as she opted for a surprisingly casual denim moment as she launched In Je Bol Mental Health Service. The look centred around Massimo Dutti's 'Short Denim Jacket with Textured Detail'.
The £100 jacket featured a sharp, collared neckline, as well as utility pockets on each side. The Massimo Dutti number also featured a concealed snap button and is available to purchase with a matching mini skirt. The mother-of-three's bottom half was concealed; however, she did opt for a crisp, white shirt and statement drop earrings.

For this occasion, she teased her autumn makeover with another look in a muted tone.

For her accessories, Maxima opted for the 'Jige Elan 29 Clutch in Argile' by Hermes, and the 'Gianvito 105’ Nude Leather Pumps' by Gianvito Rossi, which never miss. She also went monochrome in burgundy by Natan for the King Willem 1 winners' dinner for entrepreneurship on 8 October.
A pop of colour

Here, she made a statement in a fuchsia Oscar de la Renta midi dress with long sleeves and an A-line skirt.
