Queen Maxima dazzles in gold sparkly gown and she's giving us party season inspo
We're obsessed with the the glittery display!


Queen Maxima of the Netherlands, 55, is always impressing us with her impeccable style, and this glitzy gold gown is certainly no exception.
Recently, we've been totally enamored by Queen Maxima of the Netherlands' looks. One of her most recent looks, a green leather skirt, which she paired with some sexy stilettos, has been eternally on our minds - as well as her super chic bold orange dress, which she wore with a matching clutch purse. Needless to say, she's all-in for fall dressing, and her most recent look of a glittery gold gown proved to be no exception to that rule.

Queen Maxima wore this dress to the annual prizes of the Orange Fund in Hague, Netherlands - an organization for which Maxima is a patroness. At the event, she presented the Apples of Orange award, which is awarded to distinctive social initiatives. Of course, she had to be dressed to the nines for such an event - so she sported a glitzy gold gown from Natan Couture, a brand the Queen has often donned in the past.
To accessorize the already super glamorous dress, she wore a pair of diamond and kunzite earrings that dangled beautifully from Steltman Jewelry, as well as a desert pink pair of suede pump heels from one of Kate Middleton's favourite brands, Gianvito Rossi.
Beauty-wise, the Queen kept things fairly simple, opting for an up-do that slicked back her blonde, shiny hair, which also featured a glamorous part down the side. Her skin was also tanned to the stars, keeping her eternal glow going even as the weather begins to cool.
Queen Maxima also attended the ceremony with with her mother-in-law Princess Beatrix, 85, mother of King Willem-Alexander.
