Year in Review: Queen Máxima's Best of 2015

Sometimes you have to weigh your options all year long, and sometimes you know the year's best when you see it. I pretty much called this one when I saw it, and my pick for Queen Máxima's best outfit of the year hasn't changed:

Like I said, a dress inspired by a room in one of your palaces is the height of couture, and this Jan Taminiau creation remains sublime. I hope we'll see it again, all tiara'd up, soon.

Repeated Jan Taminiau special creations top my list of honorable mentions for the year, as a matter of fact:

• Her blue inauguration dress and the Dutch Sapphire Tiara came back for the state banquet in Denmark, sans cape but still just as fab.

• And her berry lace gown from the evening of the inauguration came back for Prince Carl Philip's wedding this summer. Two of her best-ever looks, and if they hadn't been my dual faves in 2013, they might have taken the prize here to.
• My white dress addiction gets a double dosage here: one on tour in Aruba, and one on tour in Canada.

And your picks for Máxima's 2015 best?
