For the state visit of the South Korean president, Máxima combined old and new. Her wool coat with brown button debuted in 2002, and the bright blue dress underneath is new.
At the invitation of His Majesty the King, the President of the Republic of Korea, Yoon Suk Yeol, will pay a state visit to the Netherlands on Tuesday 12 and Wednesday 13 December 2023. He is accompanied by his wife Kim Keon Hee.
It is the first time that a president of the Republic of Korea has made a state visit since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries in 1961. In 2014, the Royal Couple paid a state visit to the Republic of Korea. In November 2022, Prime Minister Rutte and President Yoon concluded a Strategic Partnership Agreement.
The Netherlands and the Republic of Korea are now close to each other, despite the two countries being geographically far apart. The state visit offers the opportunity to further develop the good trade relationship with the Republic of Korea and take a step towards closer cooperation. Prosperity and stability in East Asia and the entire Indo-Pacific region is also on the agenda. The Netherlands and the Republic of Korea are logical partners with shared norms and values that work together in the areas of sustainable energy, agriculture and high-tech.

Unfortunately, the photos from 2002 have disappeared from the image bank and Máxima’s new dress was only visible at the slit at the back. Hopefully he will appear again soon. As far as I could tell, it was this Natan fabric:

It remains for me to say that Máxima’s velvet hat is a design by Philip Treacy.
