Day 1. Official visit to South Korea

20 May

Quite a while ago, it was announced that the Crown Prince Couple were going to Seoul in South Korea on an official state visit in May. That is now. I have really been looking forward to this state visit for a long time. Think we need a good old state visit. The couple are in Seoul from May 20-22nd.

During the day

On Monday, Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary were welcomed by South Korea's Presidential couple at the Presidential Blue House. It was a warm welcoming. To me it seems like both couple's had been looking forward to meet.

Later in the afternoon, the Danish royal couple visited the demilitarized zone between North- and South Korea. Back in 2012 the couple also payed a visit to the zone, here. They met with Danish emissaries at the United Nations Command who, among others, talked about the current situation between the two countries. The couple also visited the Dora Observatory to attend the opening of a new art installation created bt SUPERFLEX - a Danish artist group.

The visit in Seoul focuses on Danish technology and quality products. That is why the Crown Prince Couple, the following tree days will visit places, organisations, etc. in South Korea. Visiting Seoul also mark the 60th anniversary of diplomatic collaborations between Denmark and South Korea, which of course will be celebrated.

I clearly remember all outfits Mary wore in 2012, when the couple visited South Korea. Back then she wore lots of light and bright colors and prints. That's not exactly what showed this time. At the welcoming she wore one of her old blue Vionnet dresses. It was been seen on several different occasions before going to Seoul. A really beautiful dress that features a cape matching both dress and color. What also perfectly matched the outfit is her bright blue quality clutch from Quidam. Amazing how to pieces match this perfectly.

Mary then embraced the style by wearing snakeskin pumps from Gianvito Rossi. I rarely see someone wear snakeskin pumps as beautifully as she does. Often she wears them with a plain dress or trousers, and it looks great. As accessories I see a rather large beaded brooch. It is not new. I have never been able to identify it, but she often wears it with this dress. The white pearl earrings and matching bracelet are from the Danish designer Dulong Fine Jewelry. Two other bracelets are from the same designer, and the last one is Cartier. Mary also wore two stunning golden rings. The simple one is also Dulong Fine Jewelry; the other one features a white pearl. I still wonder if these two rings are created by the same designer? During the day a pair of Ray Ban sunglasses protected her eyes against a warm sun.

Dinner

About an hour before dinner time, the Crown Prince Couple payed a visit to South Korea' Prime Minister.

The visit was followed by an official dinner by the Prime Minister taking place at his residens. Both Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary showed up in a splendid mood. Especially the Crown Prince seemed excited about meeting Lee Nak-yon, the Prime Minister.




Mary was dressed beautifully in an old floral dream from Burberry. I've loved it from first sight when she wore it at the 100th anniversary for women's voting rights in 2015, here. Back then I think some of you was not as excited as I was. I am thrilled she chose this one for the evening event with South Korea's Prime Minister. What do you think? Happy to see the dress again. She looked just graceful.

Mary carried her power pink Bottega Veneta clutch and velvet Gianvito Rossi pumps. So did she in 2017 when attending a dinner on occasion of Copenhagen Fashion Summit that year, here. A stunning combination of colors, materials and silhouettes. I like the fact that both dress, shoes, clutch and jewellery all matched in color. That's the way to do it. 

If you take a closer look, you find that she actually wore quite a lot of jewellery as well. First thing notable is the earrings. Worn before, but never identified. The same goes with the one bracelets featuring colored stones. Her two others golden bracelets are from Cartier and Dulong Fine Jewelry. The last one is also Dulong Fine Jewelry. Besides that Mary had chosen diamond rings from among others Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. A really magnificent outfit of hers topped off with a beautiful hairstyle.
