Expert reveals hidden detail in NATO summit photo with Trump that has everyone saying the same thing

A fashion expert has revealed the hidden detail in the viral NATO summit photo that has left everyone saying the same thing.

On Tuesday (24 June), world leaders from 32 countries - including US President Donald Trump, French President Emmanuel Macron, British Prime Minister Keir Starmer and Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy - gathered in The Hague in the Netherlands for the NATO summit.

However, it was Queen of the Netherlands, Queen Máxima, who really stood out from the bunch due to her unique and colourful choice of attire for the political occasion.

Donning a striking lime-green jumpsuit, it didn't take long for fans to gush over the bold fashion statement with some even dubbing her the 'Queen of NATO'.

However, amidst the praise for her out-there ensemble, people online pointed out one major issue: the lack of women in the photo.

"Still not enough women," hit out one Facebook user.

Well, we spoke to fashion expert Lauren Bulla to get the lowdown on the significance and symbolism of Máxima's outfit - especially considering the fact she was only one of a handful of women at the male-dominated summit.

Speaking on behalf of Slingo, Laura exclusively told Tyla that it was almost like Máxima was 'staking her claim over the authority situation', adding that the fact she and her husband, King of the Netherlands, Willem-Alexander, were hosting the summit ' probably had something to do with it a little bit'.

“Her decision to dress in a way that defies the monochrome norms of the summit was a visual assertion of soft power, but simultaneously, it's a pretty overt colour contrast, in the sense that it'd be hard to find yourself wondering who this person is and their importance," Laura continued.

"Even if you don't know her by name, you have to assume that she plays a larger part in this dynamic."

The cut of the garment is 'equally powerful' and, according to Laura, there is a pretty key detail surrounding the reason why she opted for a jumpsuit specifically.

Noting that a jumpsuit, particularly one tailored with cape detailing, is a fascinating hybrid - 'it's formal but not fussy, powerful without being aggressive' - Laura points out that such a silhouette has long been associated with utilitarian workwear.

"But, in the realm of high fashion, they have become a symbol of contemporary power," Laura goes on. "When someone with the status of a queen wears a jumpsuit, she’s rejecting outdated ideas of what authority should look like, and replacing them with what it can be."

Laura also highlights that a jumpsuit goes against the expectations of women 'to be a super feminine, welcoming host'.

"While she is very feminine, the trousers on the bottom, as opposed to a dress, are another soft affront to the structures that are very overtly trying to push us away from women holding authority in these spaces," she adds.

So, was the bold attire anything to do with 'stealing the show' then?

Well, the fashion expert resolves: "I don't believe that she did this for the sake of just being in the centre of attention.

"I think it draws attention to who her and her husband are, what they represent, and that they're just real people mixed in with very serious issues that affect real people."
