Queen Maxima of the Netherlands is well known for her vibrant style, and as she stepped out for a (socially-distanced) visit to a local food bank in Delft, the royal not only showed her exuberant down-to-earth nature but also her on-point fashion sense. The Dutch Queen wore the perfect day to evening summer dress by Rixo which hit the mark on not one, not two, but THREE major fashion trends of the season: a modest Victorian-style silhouette, a dark floral print and a patchwork motif.

King Willem-Alexander’s Argentine-born wife opted for Billie dress by the London label, whose vintage-inspired looks are loved by celebrities like Holly Willoughby, Heidi Klum and Laura Whitmore. The super cool frock, in the ‘Mixed Ditsy Floral’ print, is £305, and features alternating blue, red and pink floral prints in a fun and feminine patchwork motif.
