Queen Maxima of the Netherlands looked ethereal in a sparkling gold dress at the Apples of Orange awards today.
The stylish royal, 52, attended the Orange Fund’s prestigious ceremony with her mother-in-law Princess Beatrix, 85, which took place at Noordeinde Palace in Hague, Netherlands.
The mother-of-three sparkled in a sequined gold midi dress by Belgian couture and ready-to-wear label Natan, one of her favourite designers.
The queen was first seen in the dazzling number back in June, when she attended the opening of the head office of microfinance organisation, Qredits in Almelo.
The credit organisation is known for offering training and business loans to aspiring businesses.

And while the royal first styled the look with a glamourous floral headpiece, this time she kept things a little more pared back.
The three-quarter dress draped elegantly over her curves, gathering ever so slightly at the centre, giving the appearance of a ruched design.
The sleeves stopped just short of her elbows, while the length of the dress fell to the top of her knees.
She accessorised the look with a chunky silver bracelet, alongside a gold charm bracelet, a black wristwatch and thick silver ring.
Keeping to her minimalist theme, she opted for a pair of transparent pear-shaped earrings and no clutch bag.
For her make-up, she donned a neutral base, accompanied by a nude lip, black eyeliner and a smidge of black mascara.
Her luscious blonde locks were elegantly styled by a side part, while her fringe swept across her forehead before being tied into a bun.
Meanwhile Princess Beatrix donned a sophisticated monochrome frock, made exceptional by a stunning black and white pattern at the waist.

The queen showed off her autumnal wardrobe as she sported the patterned burgundy, orange and white frock, accentuated by its silky fabric and flowy sleeves.
The mother teamed her ensemble with scarlet heels and a handy cherry clutch.
She even made sure her ornate beaded earrings matched the colour scheme and styled her blonde tresses into a sleek windswept blowout.
Maxima opted for a make-up look which accentuated her eyes, finishing off with a dusky pink lipstick, before wrapping a rainbow flag around herself.
