Denmark's assumption of the EU presidency


July 03, 2025

Visiting ARoS

King Frederik and Queen Mary atteneded a number of different events in Aarhus to mark Denmark's assumption of the EU presidency on July 7th.

The royal couple were accompanied by among others Denmark's Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen and President of the European Commission Ursula von der Leyen when visiting the art museum ARoS in Aarhus.

Later on King Frederik welcomed the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelenskyj. He is visiting Denmark on occasion of the official opening of the Danish EU presidency.

When attending a concert with the Royal Danish Academy of Music in May of this year, Mary embraced the same Max Mara suit and dusty rose blazer. It is not my favorite outfit but the colors look great on her! I kinda like the idea of a "business suit" but in a more soft color and fabric.

Mary styled the Max Mara outfit with gorgeous Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings made of beautiful Rose Quartz. These earrings goes back to 2009. The diamond studded Louise Grønlykke necklace is rather new. She flashed it when visiting Nigeria in June. I am still very interested in her diamond ring. It's so beautiful!

The suede pumps are from Gianvito Rossi. I really like that she chose suede pumps and not leather. Makes a great contribute to the rest of her outfit.

Out for a ride

By looking at what she was wearing I'm guessing the Queen went for a horse ride after the event in Aarhus. Perhaps at Marselisborg. The couple are staying at Dannebrog while visiting Aarhus. She was caught leaving the royal yacht driving off.

I truly love when Mary is wearing such a casual outfit like this when out in public. I'm not the sporty type but even I am inspired to wear something similar. She matched a brand new white/blue striped Cavalleria blouse with tights from the same brand. The cool belt has been identified as Pampeano. A new brand we have never seen her wear before.

Mary embraced the look with Ray Ban sunglasses and a new matching Palorosa bag. Seems like Mary is quite fond of these bags. This is her third. Her nice green patent leather sandals are from Birkenstock. A classy and stunning model. The pastel colored hair-tie is from Kknekki.

Mary looked absolutely stunning in that bright red Max Mara jumpsuit! I love the color next to her fair skin and dark brown hair. When we are talking about hair: do we love that up-do?! Mary also carried a white linen blazer. The label looks like Max Mara but I can't tell for sure what model it is. I need more to say anything for sure.

She matched the magnificent jumpsuit with fine diamond studs, a fine necklace from Louise Grønlykke and a smashing ring from Rebekka Notkin. From the same designer Mary also wore a golden bangle styled with a reused Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen bracelet.

To quite sure about the clutch. Maybe a little too casual for the event? It is a new one from By Malene Birger. Nevertheless it was a great match to the Salvatore Ferragamo heeled sandals.

Meeting with Mark Suzman


July 03, 2025

Queen Mary met with the CEO of the Gates Foundation Mark Suzman to a talk about the foundation's work for maternal and infant health and well-being. The Gates Foundation also support the "10 Million Safer Births Initiative such as the Danish Government is which Queen Mary is patron for, for three year period.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Director for Development Policy, Elsebeth Søndergaard Krone, the Gates Foundation's Director for European Office, Anja Langenbucher, Deputy Director for Family Planning, Maternal, Newborn, Child Nutrition and Health and Primary Health Care, Dr. Sanjana Bhardwaj, and the Danish representative, Morten Nyegaard, also participated the meeting.



Seem like Mary has become fond of these printed summer dresses. I kinda like the casual style dressed accessorized with golden jewellery and heels. The dress she wore at the meeting at Frederik VIII's Palace is brand new from Vanessa Bruno. This I can't wait for her to wear again.

Mary matched the beautiful dress with golden earrings and a bracelet from Dulong Fine Jewelry. Good old favorites. Her smashing Louise Grønlykke necklace is rather new. Gorgeous, right? I am sure you noticed the second golden cuff. Actually it goes back to the rime around 2015. Now it has been identified as Ileana Makri. Simply beautiful.

For a long time I have wished for this to happen: she wore her Salvatore Ferragamo heeled sandals again! I am in love with the design and materials.

I feel this outfit makes mixed emotions amongst you. Am I right? I am totally in love with everything about it. The color, the different fabrics. Something classy and polish, and something feminine and elegant. I adore how she matched her Scanlan & Theodore suit with an old 2009 By Malene Birger blouse. She last wore the blouse in 2011 at the wedding of Prince Albert of Monaco and Charlene Woodstock. Even the belt matched! Did you know that Mary first wore the Prada belt in Australia in 2005?

Mary embraced the outfit with stunning white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a smashing ring. The ring is a reuse but I have never been able to identify it. Could it be a custom-made? Her hairpiece is created by Danish milliner Susanne Juul.

What is not to like? Even her Jimmy Choo pumps matched the colors of her outfit. Somehow I have come to love this outfit even more writing about it.

Day 2. Official visit to Nigeria


June 25, 2025

A day in Lagos

Queen Mary arrived to Abuja on June 24th. She is accompanied by Danish Minister of Education and Research Christina Egelund on her trip to Nigeria.

The Queen spend her second day in Lagos. She visited MADHouse at the University of Lagos along with Christina Egelund. MADHouse or Make a Difference House is part of University of Lagos. It offers room for technological progress and innovation.

They two of them also visited APM Terminals and Terra Kulture. It was followed by a visit at the artist Modupeola Fadugba.



I really really like Mary's outfit! The brown-themed-outfit is simply wonderful. It goes beautifully with her fair skin and brown hair. The ME+EM paisley printed dress is brand new. Have the feeling that it is not going to be the last time we are to see this dress. She styled it with a reused Ralph Lauren jacket and a leather belt from Max Mara.

Mary embraced the stunning look with Ray Ban sunglasses, an exclusive brown leather handbag from Ralph Lauren and heeled sandals from Michel Vivien.

I am in love with her choice of jewellery. The custom-made Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings and bracelet goes perfectly with the new dress. Lovely match of colors. The massive golden bangle is by Rebekka Notkin such as her diamond ring. Louise Grønlykke is the woman behind the design of Mary's oustanding necklace.

Dinner at The Nordic Hotel

Queen Mary attended dinner at The Nordic Hotel in Lagos as guest of honor. Christina Egelund, Danish Minister of Education and Research joined the Queen for dinner.

Representatives from both arts, culture and entrepreneurship from Nigeria were also invited to take part in the dinner.



Mary looked like a shining star on a starry night at the dinner in her soft pink printed Mikael Aghal dress. A first everyone though it was a new dress but it turns out that Mary in fact wore the dress prior to the dinner at The Nordic Hotel in Lagos. It was for her niece's wedding on October 26th 2024.

She accessorized her dreamy dress with long pink diamond earrings. They have never been identified but she has worn them on many occasions. They are adjustable in length. Her necklace is from Louise Grønlykke. I noticed a new ring but I have no details. The elegant clutch is a reuse from Serpui.
