She teamed the look with a pair of towering white and rope wedges with a delicate wrap detail. 

Known for her bold looks, Maxima added a further touch of glam with a stack of bracelets and pretty drop pearl earrings.

 Keeping her blonde hair down in loose waves, the mother-of-three kept her make-up natural with a touch of highlighter adding a glow to her tanned skin and a lick of black mascara framing her eyes.

Unlike previous portraits, Maxima’s three daughters didn’t coordinate with her, with middle sister Alexia looking distinctively more causal in green jeans and white shirt.

The eldest daughter, Amalia, Princess of Orange who will one day become the Queen of the Netherlands, bore a striking resemblance to her mother as the pair share the same long blonde locks. 

Today, Amalia teamed up a red jacket with a striped shirt and black trousers, while she accessorised with a black clutch bag. 

While she didn’t match her mothers look it certainly complemented her father, who also donned a red jacket, white shirt and black trouser.

 Despite their style difference, Maxima’s three daughters looked strikingly similar with their long loosely-curled hair.

She was born in Argentina before she married into the Dutch royal family, three years after meeting her husband-to-be in Seville, Spain. Willem-Alexander became king after his mother, Beatrix, abdicated in April 2013 after 33 years as reigning monarch.
