Princess Amalia has earned her bachelor’s degree! But this great event takes a back seat on Instagram, as her younger sister, Princess Alexia of the Netherlands, draws attention with her outfit in the comments.

“The Princess of Orange is attending the traditional graduation ceremony at the University of Amsterdam. With this ceremony at the Royal Concertgebouw, the university celebrates the completion of the bachelor’s program. King Willem-Alexander, Queen Máxima, Princess Beatrix, as well as Princesses Alexia and Ariane, will also be present,” reads the caption under two new photos.

In one photo, the happy graduate Princess Amalia is seen. In the second photo, she poses with her family, all dressed up for this joyous occasion.

Princess Alexia of the Netherlands Stands Out in Photo

Princess Alexia of the Netherlands particularly stands out, as the 20-year-old opts for a casual oversized look. She wears a black, long skirt made of a semi-glossy fabric that falls casually due to its wide cut. She pairs it with a white oversized blouse. The look is relaxed because Princess Alexia of the Netherlands tucks one side of the blouse into the skirt while the other side hangs down. The rest of the styling matches the look.

Also noticeable: in one hand, Alexia holds her smartphone, always ready for a photo or a message. And a funny detail on the smartphone seems to reveal a preference of hers. The words “Matcha Princess” are visible on the phone case.

Princess Alexia of the Netherlands’ Outfit Causes a Stir

Under the photo, numerous comments congratulate Princess Amalia on her university graduation. But it’s mainly her sister Princess Alexia of the Netherlands’ outfit that causes a stir. “Did Alexia fall out of bed? Amazing! Proof that they are just human,” reads one comment referring to the casual oversized look. Another says, “This look is messy. I hate blouses where one half is tucked in and the other is out. Do one or the other!”

However, there are also many supporters of the outfit who understand the look. “This was done on purpose, that’s the style these days,” notes a fashion-conscious Instagram user. Many agree: “That’s in” or “That’s the blasé look,” they also say. The blasé look combines elements of “quiet luxury” with rebellious, grunge-inspired styles.
