Queen Maxima of the Netherlands dons sophisticated blue suit to meet the Nigeran President
Queen Maxima of the Netherlands was on top form today as she greeted the President of Nigeria in The Hague.
The royal, 52, looked elegant as she channelled spring in a stunning blue satin trouser suit which she matched with a nude-coloured blouse.
The crisp, tailored blazer cinched in at the waist, making for a sophisticated silhouette.
She met President Bola Tinubu at the Palace as part of her role as the United Nations Secretary General's Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development.
Her role includes being a leading global voice on advancing universal access to and responsible usage of affordable, effective and safe financial services.

The queen opted to wear her blonde tresses down in sleek, straight blowdry and put on a pair of dazzling gold and black drop-earrings.
To accessorise, Maxima showed off her bling and donned black leather strap watch stacked with gold diamond bracelets.
The mother-of-three went for a glamorous makeup look with smokey eye-shadow, a touch of eyeliner and mascara and shiny red lip gloss.
Maxima posed alongside President Tinubu at the Palace but they had a furry friend who stole the show - the Queen's white pup, Mambo.
In the pictures, the three-year-old dog could be seen sharing a seat with Maxima and standing up alongside the pair to pose for the camera.
Her husband, King Willem-Alexander looked suave in a suit as he also met with the President at the Palace.
The 56-year-old donned a black blazer, matching smart trousers, a patterned tie with a crisp white shirt and a handkerchief.
President Tinubu is believed to have had separate meetings with the King and Queen. He was invited to the Netherlands by the country's president, Mark Rutte.

Other A Beautiful Mess locations are in the Dutch cities of Utrecht and Arnhem.
Maxima was unfazed by the inclement weather, smiling as she gripped her wide-brimmed crimson hat to prevent it from being blown away.
Her hat completed her all-red ensemble, which included a knee-length dress and a voluminous cape that she was first pictured in in December 2016.
The mother-of-three wore matching suede court shoes and carried a crimson clutch bag.
