Queen Maxima  of the Netherlands sports white hardhat at building site

Queen Maxima of the Netherlands was all smiles while attending a building site at Campus Werkspoor in Utrecht today.

The fashionista, 52, departed from her usual style and instead came prepared for duty in a white belted coat and hard hat.

It appeared the royal made an appearance at the business park - which houses large office spaces and meeting rooms - to supervise ongoing building work.

Dressed for the weather, she sported a lengthy wool coat, brown high waisted palazzo trousers and black chunky leather boots.

She accessorised the look with a thick cream scarf and and a mini black leather handbag complete with a wooden top handle.

Underneath the winter coat, she sported a cream long-sleeved blouse.

Her luscious blonde locks appeared slightly frazzled under the hat, which is to be expected following the operational meeting.

For her make-up the Queen consort - by way of marriage to King Willem-Alexander, 56, - opted for subtle foundation and an application of black liquid eyeliner.

She was photographed putting on a lively display while engaging with the day's events.

The royal was also spotted attending to the various guests at the venue's grounds.

However the queen hasn't been all business, and was spotted looking typically elegant while attending a Christmas Music Gala last week.

She oozed sophistication as she arrived at performing arts theatre Spant in Bussum on Thursday. 

The mother-of-three donned a blue satin floor length skirt which she paired with a pale blue blouse.
