December has been quite the month for tiaras, with everyone from Princess Kate to Crown Princess Victoria of Sweden stepping out in dazzling royal jewels (and show-stopping evening gowns to match). On Thursday, December 11, the Dutch royal family joined the ranks of this month's best-dressed, with King Willem-Alexander, Queen Maxima and Princess Catharina-Amalia welcoming the president and first lady of Finland for a state banquet.
Queen Maxima has never been one for minimalism, but Princess Amalia outdid even her glamorous mother in terms of jewels on Thursday night. Amalia, who is heir to the Dutch throne and known as the Princess of Orange, wore a beige Jenny Packham ballgown with a plunging front, accenting the modern dress with numerous historic diamond pieces from the royal vaults.
