Styling her hair in a new way to suit each dress change, the day of the Dutch inauguration saw Maxima's blonde locks woven into complex chignons, a glossy blow dry and a more textured, wavy up'do which looked fitting for the royals' water pageant tour.

Although the new queen switched up her hairstyles for each event, Maxima kept her make-up relatively neutral with a rose-tinted lipstick and a subtle silver eyeshadow to bring definition to her eyes.The Dutch inauguration marked the biggest regal gathering since the Queen's Diamond Jubilee celebrations in 2012 and it seemed that the natural look was the order of the day as the glamorous princesses of Europe united in Amsterdam.
