Queen Maxima dons VERY glamorous look as she shows off her culinary skills during Vienna trip

Queen Máxima of The Netherlands has once again ensured all eyes on her, donning a lavish grey lace outfit during an appearance in Vienna today.

The 51-year-old Dutch royal is currently on a three-day state visit of Austria with her husband King Willem-Alexander, 55.

Today they met Ukrainian refugees while visiting a community cooking project at Brotfabrik, a former bread factory which has been turned into a social enterprise featuring art displays as well offering other cultural and education initiatives.

During the trip, Máxima donned a very glamorous grey ensemble, matching a one-shouldered lack gown with an elegant hat in matching fabric.

Pinned onto her dress was a large brooch featuring a pale blue gemstone, which matched her dangling earrings. Her other pieces included sparkling diamond bracelets and silver rings.

The mother-of-three finished the glamorous look with a polished make-up look, pairing her dewy base with a smoky grey eye, and lashings of black mascara. To keep attention on her eye makeup, she chose a natural pink lip, and soft peach blusher.

Meanwhile, her blonde locks were styled into a side parting, then pulled into a low chignon, which sat neatly underneath her grey lace hat. 

In a sensible move, the royal pulled on a black apron, protecting her elegant gown while showing off some cooking skills.

King Willem-Alexander opted for a slightly lower key, though still smart, look, donning a grey two-piece suit, crisp white shirt, and red and white tie.

The couple was snapped enjoying themselves as they took part in the cookery demonstration, with Máxima showing she isn’t afraid to get stuck in and get her hands dirty.

She was photographed beaming as she wielded a rolling pin, and shaping dough for the dish she was making.   

The royals, who arrived in Vienna yesterday, will spend time in the country until Wednesday after they were invited by Austrian President Alexander Van der Bellen.

Her beautiful gown, clinched at the waist to show off her envious figure, was paired with gold metallic sandals with a chunky high heel and a metallic clutch bag.
