Queen Maxima of the Netherlands looked splendid when she stepped out for a gala for the Council of State at Palace Noordeinde in The Hague alongside her husband King Willem-Alexander and daughter Princess Catharina-Amalia on Wednesday.

The Argentinian-born royal, 53, was spotted in a beautiful strapless Valentino gown which featured a tiered lace-adorned skirt with chiffon ruffle adornments and a figure-skimming cut.
