Day 1. Business promotion visit in Paris

07 October

During the day

Quite a while ago it was announced that Crown Prince Frederik and his wife, Crown Princess Mary were going on a business promotion visit to Paris on October 7-9th.

The couple arrived in the morning along with a Danish business delegation. The 50 Danish businesses and organisations that are part of the delegation is in Paris to participate the business promotion visit. This year the visit is entitled 'Denmark and France - together for a better life and a sustainable future' and focuses on energy, sustainable cities and health. The Danish court announced  that especially elderly care, “smart hospitals” and “life science” as well as wind energy, district heating and urban development are the main focus.

First the Crown Prince Couple attended the official opening of the visit at La Grande Arche - a new Triumphal Arch designed by the Danish architect, Johan Otto von Spereckelsen. The Crown Prince held the opening speech wearing chic new glasses. They then attended at meet and greet with the participating Danish delegation.

In the afternoon did Crown Prince Frederik visited the French company, EDF Group which is the largest producer of electricity in France. He then visited the district heating manufacturer Dalkia's showroom and he attended the 30th anniversary celebration of La Grande Arch. Meanwhile did Crown Princess Mary visit the Georges-Pompidou hospital. One of the biggest public hospitals in Paris.

What and incredible outfit. I am so much in love with Mary in that brand new bright blue dress. Look at those magnificent details. The covered buttons, short sleeves, neckline. I am stunned by this new dress. The wonder is a custom-made designed by Ole Yde, here, and according to Billed-Bladet, created by Birgit Hallstein. Can't hide my enthusiasm. Mary's dress (and outfit) is simply beautiful.

She embraced the style with a white pearl bracelet from Dulong Fine Jewelry. It comes with matching earrings, but Mary had chosen to wear another pair of diamond earrings featuring a pearl pendant. Both earrings and pearl bracelet, such as all the other jewellery, are reused pieces. Mary matched her white pearls with a golden Cartier bangle and another golden bangle from Dulong Fine Jewelry. Also the two stunning diamond rings are worn on numerous occasions.

As other accessories Mary wore her quality leather clutch from Quidam. A beautiful match because of the lovely navy blue colors. The same goes with the Gianvito Rossi pumps. I get it if you adore her outfit as much as I do.

Reception

Around dinner time the Crown Prince Couple arrived to La Grande Arche (for the second and third time that day) to attend a reception on occasion of the 30th anniversary of the very same monument. Crown Prince Frederik had already earlier that day attended another event on occasion of the anniversary.

Both Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary were in a splendid mood. They really seemed comfortable in each others company. To the press Crown Prince Frederik expressed what a wonderful day it had already been. Of course the Crown Princess was asked about her new title as regent, here. She is one hundred procent proud and honored.

I was clearly impressed by her first outfit earlier that day. In the evening she rocked another stunning outfit. Mary had chosen to wear a brand new black dotted dress from Black Halo. The dress was identified by Heaven. A very flattering creation. It gives her a long and tall silhouette. She accessorized her outfit with an old black lace scarf. I have never been able to confirm it, but on several occasions I heard that the lace scarf was once made by Heartmade Julie Fagerholt.

Despite she wore quite a lot of jewellery at the evening reception, you hardly notice all of them. The splendid golden earrings covered in shiny diamonds are designed by Dulong Fine Jewelry. Expensive earrings that someone like me can only dream about.

From the same designer, Mary embraced the style with two different models of golden bracelets and four rings from Dulong Fine Jewelry. One of the rings are brand new ring. Really beautiful pieces. The diamond bracelet is a mystery to me. It looks a lot like this one from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen, here.

As other accessories Mary was wearing a reused black patent leather from Prada, an unidentified black glitter clutch and dazzling pointed pumps from Gianvito Rossi. Hair and makeup are what completed her outfit with great perfection.

  1. The Crown Princess looks superb, both outfits are beautifully put together. Her team do a fantastic job, whether it is an at home engagement or an overseas visit. The Ole Yde/Birgit Hallstein dress is the standout for me, mainly because when I first saw a video clip of their arrival for the evening reception I thought the Black Halo dress was covered in sequins (it must have been the effect from all of the flashing cameras) so sadly it isn't as striking as I had initially thought. I hoped that it might be similar to the incredible vintage cocktail dress worn in the cover story of  'Good Weekend' magazine from 2013. The deep boat neckline is extremely flattering, highlighting her delicate decolletage which is emphasised further by the elegant updo. The Dulong diamond encrusted kharisma earrings are fabulous and add a touch of modernity to the retro design. The blue and white dress is regal, from the excellent tailoring to the clever contrast in fabrics. The split skirt detail exposing the pleated chiffon feels couture inspired along with the consideration and care that was taken in the button placement either side of the waist band. Pearls and sleek navy pumps were the perfect complements, hair and makeup also looked gorgeous throughout, dewy and voluminous.

    1. I really love the thought about the white dots being sequins. Unfortunately that is not the case. The dress is indeed beautiful, but I look forward to see how she will wear it in the future.
