Day 2. Official state visit in France
01 April 2025
King Frederik and Queen Mary joined the Presidential couple for a visit at the Manufactures des Gobelins followed by the official opening of "Economic Forum".
Later on, King Frederik and President Macron accompanied each other while the First Lady and Queen Mary visited Ecole Maternelle Dussoubs. The school has become part of the Mary Foundation's "Free of Bullying"-program.
The couple then attended the Partnership Event at Palais Brongniart followed by a visit at Grand Palais.
Mary looked beautiful in a reused Scanlan Theodore suit matched with a stunning high-neck blouse. She wore the blouse on November 11th 2024 when attending the Child Welfare Day. It is still unidentified. Any ideas? I really like the dusty green color of the suit and the soft powder pink blouse. Makes a great match.
She embraced the style with a diamond butterfly brooch - the Mary Foundation's logo. The fine rosette is the Legion d'honneur. The French Order of Honor goes back to 1802 and the is the most prestigious French other.
We get a glimpse of her accessorizing the outfit with a Max Mara handbag and stylish python pointed pumps from Gianvito Rossi.

Reciprocal arrangement
Tradition goes that the hosting couple host the first (and finest) galla event and the visiting couple host a reciprocal arrangement on the last day of the state visit. This is why the King and Queen hosted a reciprocal dinner at Le Grand Hôtel.
The French Presidential Couple were invited as guests of honor. The Danish business delegation and members of the French and Danish guests were also invited to attend the dinner representing diplomacy, culture, politics and business.
Mary looked like a moviestar at the reciprocal event at Le Grand Hôtel! The stunning dress/coat is a reuse from Taller Marmo. Do you remember when she first wore it? If your answer is May 21st 2022 you're right. Mary wore the dress at a gala event in Tivoli on occasion of Queen Margrethe's 50th anniversary.
At the dinner Mary styled the magnificent dress with large golden earrings from Alma e Coração. They are traditional Portuguese design. A closer look reveal that she was also wearing Queen Louise's engagement bracelet and a golden ring featuring an orange stone.
The chic black lace pumps are from Gianvito Rossi.
