Two for two on wide-brimmed Máx hats for the day! This one's on the beachy side, but I still like it. Although it looks like it was a bit difficult to keep on:

It looks better than a majority of her headwear during this trip (especially love the color scheme), but I keep thinking about this hat:

Royals (when it comes to public events) should be elegant, creative, modern and somewhat "put together" at ALL times. Most of the time Maxima does okay - occasionally brilliant. This hat has wonderful colours. However,I'd prefer a chapeau that allows people to see more of her face - its a lovely face... more appropriate as a sun shade at the beach.
