In a Cinderella moment, Princess Amalia, the Princess of Orange, stole the show at a state banquet in Amsterdam, donning a stunning blue gown and her mother's wedding tiara. This fairy-tale ensemble, reminiscent of Disney's Cinderella, showcased Amalia's elegance and style, as she stood behind her parents, King Willem-Alexander and Queen Maxima, in a Rachel Gilbert column dress with a corseted bodice and draped straps. The tiara, known as the Dutch Star tiara, is a sentimental piece from her family's jewelry collection, made up of the base of the Pearl Button tiara and topped with five diamond star brooches given to Queen Emma when she married King Willem III in 1879. Amalia's choice of tiara, along with her mother's sapphire and diamond tiara, created a dazzling display of royal glamour. The event highlighted the importance of tiaras in royal fashion, with experts noting the use of hairspray and hidden elastics to keep them in place. As Amalia continues to lead the future European queens with her daring wardrobe choices, her Cinderella moment at the state banquet will undoubtedly leave a lasting impression.
