Queen Maxima of the Netherlands headed to Voorburg on Tuesday to attend a scouting event, and although the environment was a fairly casual one, our reliable Max brought along a major pair of earrings.

Maxima’s visit to the scouting group Hubertus Brandaan helped mark the start of Roverway, an international scouting event.

Although her ensemble for the day was summery and light, she accessorized with a large pair of pearly statement earrings that appeared to have a pale gold hue.

Here’s a look at Maxima’s entire ensemble for the event.
