Queen Máxima of the Netherlands looked radiant as she arrived at a museum in Paris this evening to open an exhibition.
Joined by French First Lady Brigitte Macron as she entered the Musee des Arts Décoratifs, the 52-year-old Dutch queen turned heads in a stunning Iris van Herpen dress as she prepared for the opening of an exhibition by the Dutch designer .
The floor-length gown with a high neckline and cape, featuring embroidery and a shimmering full skirt, ensured all eyes were on the Argentine-born queen as she walked the red carpet.
Mother-of-three Máxima wore her blonde locks in a neat but relaxed updo and opted for statement earrings with her glamorous dress.
Meanwhile, Emmanuel Macron’s wife Brigitte, 70, embodied her signature Parisian chic style in a white coat and black heels.
