Queen Maxima steps out in the perfect knee-high boots - and they're super easy to shop!

Queen Maxima's knee-high boots were the most perfect footwear choice for autumn as Her Majesty stepped out in Amsterdam.

Queen Maxima of the Netherlands visited the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences and the FIX Brigade on Thursday, October 5, 2023. For this busy day, Her Majesty wore a professional and fashionable ensemble that included a midi skirt, pussy bow blouse, and the most stunning pair of boots that are most certainly some of the best black boots, that are perfectly in line with the autumn/winter 2023 fashion trends.

The Queen's boots were the Gianvito Rossi ‘Laura 85’ Black Leather Knee Boots which retailed at around £1,195 when they were sold by the brand. Unfortunately, the brand no longer stocks these fabulous boots, but there are plenty of high-street brands that sell very similar styles that are much more affordable.

The Queen's cool weather ensemble paired a black pussy-bow blouse with a camel-coloured midi wool skirt from Massimo Dutti that she has been snapped in before. She also completed this look by carrying a vintage black leather and bamboo handle bag from Susan Gail that matched her boots and blouse. The Queen also wore a pair of tights with her boots which protected her legs from the cooler weather in Amsterdam.

Explaining the purpose of the Queen's engagements, a post about Queen Maxima's day was shared on social media. The caption of this post read in English, "The increasing use of artificial intelligence is posing dilemmas and ethical questions for society as a whole. Within the Centre of Expertise Applied Artificial Intelligence, education, research, business and social organizations in seven labs work closely together for a responsible application of them."

The post continued, "Queen Máxima makes a working visit to the centre of the University of Amsterdam. The visit is about the responsible use and application of Artificial Intelligence (AI). There are various conversations about the opportunities, impact and implications of AI. Queen Máxima also visits one of the labs. There she speaks to researchers and graduate students. They also show various facilities, such as an ultrasensitive refrigerator for storing medicines that can repair itself with the help of AI."
