Queen Maxima of the Netherlands looked stunning in a silk yellow dress as she attended the Singapore FinTech festival today.

The Dutch royal, 53, also met with Singapore's Prime Minister Lawrence Wong at the Istana presidential palace in her capacity as the United Nations Secretary-General's Special Advocate for Financial Health (UNSGSA).

She looked as youthful as ever in the yellow number from Belgian fashion house Natan, one of her favourite places to shop.

The bright piece reflected Maxima's beaming expression, as she appeared in great spirits for the second day of her three-day trip.

The mother-of-three has been seen in the dress several times since 2015, which was elegantly decorated with a woven floral motif, and complemented with a flattering belt.

She kept her blonde tresses loose and opted for her classic natural make-up style.

Maxima also attended a fireside chat event during the Singapore FinTech festival, which is taking place from November 6 to 8 - and is the reason behind her visit.

The Singapore FinTech Festival is the largest in the world of its kind. The annual events seeks to recognise innovative FinTech solutions, financial institutions, technology companies.

The Dutch royal has previously given speeches at the annual tech festival in Singapore, having been a guest speaker in both 2017 and 2019.

Máxima was recently appointed the UN Secretary-General’s Special Advocate for Financial Health (UNSGSA).

In her new role, she continues to campaign for equitable access to financial tools and literacy to help people secure their future.

As part her former role in the UN as Secretary-General’s Special Advocate for Inclusive Finance for Development, Máxima previously discussed the importance of tech innovations in improving access to financial services at the annual tech festival.

She advocated for better access to current or savings accounts, insurance, loans, pensions and digital payments - for the 1.7 billion adults worldwide who lack access to these basic financial services.

On the first day of the festival, Maxima looked radiant as she delivered a speech at the FinTech Festival.

She donned a stunning checkered black and white suit as she arrived in the southeast Asian country - and later met with Singapore's President Tharman Shanmugaratnam.

She looked glowing in a stylish distressed suit as she stepped up to the podium.

She wore a matching blazer with an accompanying knee length skirt in a tweed material with distressed black and white tassels.

As part of her trip, the Dutch royal also met with Singapore's President Tharman Shanmugaratnam at the nation's Istana presidential palace.

Before meeting the President, Máxima had the chance to sign the guest book.

The two were pictured sitting down together to chat, while they enjoyed a tea together.
