Day 2. Official State Visit to Lithuania


January 29, 2026

Queen Mary looked amazing in her long woolen skirt and soft bordeaux blouse when spending yet another day in Lithuania. She first wore the Max Mara skirt last year when visiting Latvia. Back then she also matched the beautiful skirt with the color of bordeaux. In Lithuania, Mary embraced the look wearing a brand new The Fold London blouse.

The Presidential Couple accompanied the King and Queen when they paid a vist at the Danish-Lithuanian business forum and later at the wreath-laying ceremony at Antakalnis Cemetery. At the cemetery, Mary stayed warm in a reused coat from Uniqlo and a beautiful green Harris Wharf London coat.

Later in the afternoon, the royal couple visited the NBA Basketball School in Vilnius. They joined a training session and for that Mary had changed to a lovely navy blue turtleneck and black Gianvito Rossi boots. Here we also got a better look at her diamond earrings from Sophie Bille Brahe and golden Dulong Fine Jewelry ring. It also showed the best of the brown Celine belt.

I'm sure you noticed her changing boots along they way. The soft light brown boots are old ones from Valentino. My all-time favorite boots of hers.

Official Opening of "Friends in Need"

What is not to like? Mary won my vote for best-dressed at the official opening of the "Friends in Need"-exhibition. They Presidential Couple joined the King and Queen at the opening at the National Library of Lithuania. The exhibition is in honor of the friendship between Denmark and Lithuania.

Mary wore the most beautiful white Andiata suit paired with a reused dusty pink blouse which (unfortunately) has never been identified. The combination of colors and materials are exquisite. The soft curly hairdo added an extra glimpse of glamour to her look. So did the smashing new Julie Sandlau earrings. I'm pretty sure she wore a ring as well but I'm not sure which one.

When the couple arrived at the National Library of Lithuania Mary (once again) wore her fine Harris Wharf London coat. She completed the outfit with stunning beige pointed Prada pumps.

"Kongeparrets Priser: De Udvalgte"


October 27, 2025

For many years the royal couple have personally visited and met with winners of the Crown Prince Couple's Awards. These interviews are usually part of the final award show.

This year the interviews with film director Christina Rosendahl, Code of Care and Grønne Nabofællesskaber have been released on prior to the tv show. Both shows are also broadcasted on Danish television on November 1st and on DR TV.



Shop the look: introduction

The couple shortly introduced the interviews with a few words clearly recorded at Frederik VIII's Palace at Amalienborg. Mary looked beautiful in her reused green Massimo Dutti suit and plain white The Fold London blouse. Nothing can go wrong with a simple button-down and a suit. Especially a colorful one. The green belt was a great detail.

Mary embraced the style with green emerald studs created by Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and a beloved Nadia Shelbaya necklace. She also wore her custom-made Julie Sandlau necklace featuring her children's initials.

While King Frederik paid a visit to Code of Care, Mary then met with film director and screenwriter Christina Rosendahl who won the Culture Award. Christina showed Mary her workplace and shared about her work on creating a new film.

Mary looked stunning in her white button-down and printed Zimmermann skirt. A true summer outfit! I love the rope belt that comes with the skirt. She beautifully accessorized the casual outfit with golden Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings and a custom-made ring featuring a rose quartz stone.

She wore a couple of bracelets as well. A colorful one from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a golden diamond bangle from Rebekka Notkin. We also get a glimpse of her brown leather sandals from Gianvito Rossi. Her watch is an old one from Cartier.

The couple accompanied each other when visiting Grønne Nabofællesskaber. While Frederik joined the kitchen and helped prepare for a meal, Mary was given a guided tour around one of the community's gardens.

By looking at her outfits I guess the interviews were directed during summertime. Her amazing denim dress is a brand new one from POLO Ralph Lauren. Don't know if I ever thought we would see her wear a dress like this but I love it.

Mary style the denim dream with golden Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings, a beloved golden diamond necklace from Louise Grønlykke and a Rebekka Notkin bangle. The colorful beaded bracelet is a creation by Dulong Fine Jewelry.

Somehow the Ray Ban sunglasses made the perfect statement accessory for this outfit such as the white Adidas sneakers.

Opening of "Bharti Kher - Mythologies"


August 22, 2025

Queen Mary was warmly welcomed by the Director of Thorvaldsen's Museum Annette Johansen and the artist herself: Bharti Kher. The Queen was present at the opening of the new exhibition "Bharti Kher - Mythologies".

The exhibition is so far the biggest at Thorvaldsen's Museum. It presents 27 sculptures as a dialogue to the classic arts created by Bertel Thorvaldsen.

Bharti Kher acted as the Queen's private tourguide when wondering around the exhibition. Especially the massive sculpture "The Intermediary Family" caught her attention.

I know there are divided opinions about Mary's new suit but I adore it! The soft black print and a white background = thumbs up. The silhouette looks magnificent and the detailing are exquisite. Imagine the trousers worn with a colorful blazer or bright blouse. Can't wait to see how she will style this suit in the future.

Mary embraced the suit with stunning golden diamond studded earrings and a colorful bracelet. Both pieces are from the talented designer Dulong Fine Jewelry. The earrings go way back. Her other bangle is a creation by Rebekka Notkin. I am sure you noticed her fine necklaces. The short one is Louise Grønlykke and the longer one is Julie Sandlau.

I am still to identify her new black leather sandals. Any ideas?

Mail to the Mary Foundation


May 21, 2025

For many years the Mary Foundation has collaborated with the Ole Kirk's Foundation and LOKK to make a difference for children who followed their parent to a shelter. Every year around 2,000 children are to be found at shelter's in Denmark.

These children are given backpacks as a small contributes to a new life. The backpacks contain toys, books, clothes and a postcard. This postcard offers room for a writing or a drawing to share with the Queen and the Mary Foundation.

The Queen shared a few words about how grateful she is to receive this many postcards from children all over Denmark who found happiness and joy in their backpacks.



What is better than a good old black blazer and a little knitwear? I can't really decide if her outfit is a reuse or if she is wearing new pieces. Mary has quite a lot black blazer and similar knitted sweaters like this. Do you recognize it? I guess she was be wearing black trousers to match the rest of the outfit.

She styled it with chic Gucci glasses and a couple of necklaces. They are loved ones from Julie Sandlau featuring her children's initials (C I V J) and a green beads necklace from Nadia Shelbaya. We also get a glimpse of her rather new solid silver (or steal?) ring. Have you read anything about this ring?

Meeting with the Mary Foundation's Presidium


May 14, 2025

Queen Mary hosted the annual meeting for the Mary Foundation's Presidium. 

Representatives from Tuborgfondet, Egmont Foundation Secretariat, the Ole Kirk's Fundation, the Wiliam Demant Foundation, TrygFonden, The Obelske Family Foundation, the Hempel Foundation, Østifterne and the Lauritzen Foundation were all invited to the board meeting.

The Presidium were gathered at Frederik VIII's Palace at Amalienborg.



Mary first wore this fine blue Victoria Beckham blouse in 2018. Since then we have seen her wear it with black skirts, a floral skirt, a lace one and a creamy white skirt. At the board meeting she had chosen a pair of wide-legged Proenza Shoulder trousers matched with a chic Balenciaga belt. I always liked the blouse but the white trousers got me. It looks beautiful.

She embraced the snake-skin-style with amazing reused pointed pumps from Gianvito Rossi. The cool tortoise-like glasses are rather new ones from Gucci. I have a difficult time identifying her jewellery. I recognize the golden Julie Sandlau necklace featuring her children's initials. The beautiful P. Hertz bracelet is a gift from her husband. Custom-made by his request. The earring could be from Dulong Fine Jewelry.

Concert with the Royal Danish Academy of Music


06 May 2025

Queen Mary took over as patron of the Royal Danish Academy of Music after her mother-in-law after the proclamation last year. This was her first meeting with the music conservatory.

She was guest of honor when attending the concert orchestrated by the Royal Danish Academy of Music, led by students from the conducting school.

The Queen was first given a guided tour around the beautiful building created by architect Vilhelm Lauritzen.

I am not sure it was the perfect "concert outfit" but I truly love how she matched her soft white Max Mara vest and trousers with a brand new dusty rose Max Mara blazer. Earlier today she hosted a meeting with of UNFPA's Executive Director, the Director for Development Policy and UNPFA's Nordic Representative Office wearing the same outfit. Maybe a bit more appropriate for a meeting?

She embraced the style with stunning golden South Sea pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and necklaces from Nadia Shelbaya and Julie Sandlau. I am still very interested in learning more about her diamond ring.

I like the idea of dusty rose pumps to match with blazer. Maybe her Gianvito Rossi python pumps wasn't the right choice? What do you think? But they look fantastic with the reused leather handbag from Max Mara!

06 May 2025

Queen Mary hosted a meeting with attendance UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Natalia Kanem, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Director for Development Policy Elsebeth Søndergaard Krone and Director of UNFPA's Nordic Representative Office Ulla Müller.

The Queen has been patron for the United Nation's Population Fund (UNFPA) for the last 15 years. She spend her time focusing on girls and women's health and rights across the globe.

Dr. Natalia Kanem informed the Queen about the foundation's work about, among others things, maternal mortality, family planning, combating violence against women and involving the private sector.



Mary looked spectacular at her meeting with Dr. Natalia Kanem, Elsebeth Søndergaard Krone and Ulla Müller. She wore a brand new dusty pink Max Mara blazer matched with a reused white vest and wide-legged trousers from the same designer.

I really like how she accessorized the outfit. The two necklaces from Nadia Shelbaya and Julie Sandlau are such beautiful pieces. I am still very interested in knowing more about her diamond ring. It is simply remarkable. The earrings are old ones crafted by Dulong Fine Jewelry.

We get a glimpse of her shoes as well. Pointed snakeskin pumps from Gianvito Rossi. A great detail.

Summer at Fredensborg


05 May 2025

King Frederik and Queen Mary were officially welcomed in Fredensborg at Kancellihuset where the family will be living during the summer.

They were welcomed outside Kancellihuset by people who had showed up to get a glimpse of the couple. The Mayor of Fredensborg also welcomed the couple with a speech. The girl's choir of Fredensborg Castle Church gave a small concert on the occasion followed by music and singing by Fredensborg Brass Ensamble.

Mary looked beautiful in a very casual outfit when welcomed in Fredensborg. She wore fine navy blue trousers and a reused linen blouse from Bagutta. A first glance her coat looked new but she has in fact worn it before. Among others at the presentation of the annual Christmas Stamp 2024. The belt is from Prada.

She embraced the style with cool golden earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a couple of necklaces from Nadia Shelbaya and Julie Sandlau. I am very interested in her rings. The diamond one is rather new. Looks like a three-in-one-piece. On her other hand is a more heavy silver ring. I noticed her wearing it at the inauguration of the REGAN Vest-trail back in April.

The dark blue suede boots from Prada are a great choice for the occasion.

Two-piece or jumpsuit? That is the big question. Mary was indeed wearing a reused black Max Mara jumpsuit. She first wore it at the presentation of the Danish Rainbow Award in 2020. Personally, I prefer that outfit from tonight - expect from her hairstyle. I like the soft curly hair from 2020. Makes a great match with the sleek jumpsuit.

I absolutely ADORE her wearing satin yellow accessories. The bright colored Prada clutch and the reused embellished Manolo Blahnik pumps are a wonderful choice. I love a splash of color! The details are exquisite. What is not to like? 

Did you notice that huge yellow ring? Such a beautiful addition to her stunning outfit. The earrings almost deserve a post on their own. Her incredible new diamond earrings are creations from Julie Sandlau!

Day 4. Official visit to Brazil


05 October 2024

Queen Mary has spend the last three days in Brazil along with Danish Minster of Climate, Energy and Supply Lars Aagaard. They were welcomed with a performance at the Teatro Amazonasmet with Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and visited the INPA - the national research center in the Amazon region.

On her last day in the city of Brasílias, the two of them accompanied each other one last time when visiting the botanic garden in Brasílias. It was as patron for UNEP - the United Nation's Environmental Program she visited the botanic garden, which is an area for nature conservation.



I really liked her style during the visit in Brazil. We have seen new and old pieces from her wardrobe, classy and elegant outfits. My favorite look from her travel is (by no doubt) her colorful evening outfit from the first day. I was baffled. Enough about that.

Mary spend her last day in Brasílias, Brazil by visiting the botanic garden. She wisely had chosen a simple casual outfit for the occasion. She reused the linen Bagutta button-down and a chic dusty green By Malene Birger skirt. Maybe you remember her wearing the skirt in Fiji last year? The brown leather belt from Max Mara was a great detail. So is the blue Gucci shades and Canopy Bay by Deborah Hutton hat.

She styled the look with golden earrings and a diamond bangle from Dulong Fine Jewelry, an Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen ring and necklaces from Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau. The fine ballet flats are Prada and the cool white sneakers are from Adidas.

Crown Prince Christian's graduation ceremony


28 June 2024

On June 24th, Crown Prince Christian graduated high school from Ordrup Gymnasium. Graduating high school in Denmark comes with a graduation ceremony. Ordrup Gymnasium celebrated the graduation on June 28th.

The Crown Prince was accompanied by his fellow students and of course his family. King Frederik and Queen Mary attended the ceremony from front raw with Princess Isabella, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine.

Tradition prescribes 'studenterkørsel'. The students drive from one students home to another in different types of trucks. Partying, having fun and celebrating their graduation. Of course the truck also stopped by Amalienborg. The Crown Prince and his classmates were all warmly welcomed by the royal family - also Queen Margrethe.

Love her look at Christian's graduation ceremony! She looks amazing in her POLO Ralph Lauren two-piece. Mary first wore the set at the opening of Jetsmark in August 2023. Really like the 'casual vibe'. Great match with those brown heeled Gianvito Rossi sandals. Comfy meets classy. Once again, she wore the set with a simple white blouse.

She accessorized her outfit with incredible reused golden earrings from Orit Elhanati. Adore Elhanati's craftsmanship. She is very talented. Her masterpiece necklaces are created by Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau. Did you notice that Mary also wore her green emerald and diamond ring from Annikat?

I am a Prada-bag-girl. I do not own a single one, but Mary convinced me years ago. Her Prada bag collection is outstanding. Especially, her handbags. Like the one she wore at her son's graduation. Everything is perfect.

The cool blue shades are from Gucci

The King's personal library


27 June 2024

The King's personal library (in Danish 'Kongens Håndbibliotek') was founded at the time of King Frederik 5. in 1746 and is a collection of the private books, manuscripts, maps, pictures, photos and music. 

Till now, the library has been limited for the Danish monarchs but from June 29th the personal library will be open to the public - on weekends and during the summer holiday. It is located at Christian VIII's Palace at Amalienborg in Copenhagen.

A few days before the official opening, King Frederik and Queen Mary visited the library for a little talk and a view on some of the library's fine art.



Wish we had more photos from their visit at the library. Something that showed a few more details about her outfit. But I like what I see. Mary matched soft blue button-down with what I believe to be light grey trousers and a chic brown leather belt. I am nothing closer to identify her outfit. Maybe one day.

Mary's is indeed casual and down-on-earth. Hardly any makeup and simple ponytail. I love her confidence and that fact that Denmark's Queen are willing to post photos like these for the world to see. Adore the message.

Her beloved necklaces are Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau. The tortoise-like glasses are Gucci. Think it is her favorite pair of glasses.

Crown Prince Christian has graduated high school


24 July 2024

Our beloved Crown Prince Christian has finally graduated high school! He graduated from Ordrup Gymnasium in Gentofte.

Both his proud parents and younger siblings were there to congratulate him and celebrate the day. No doubt that King Frederik and Queen Mary were incredibly proud of their eldest. Even I feel he was just brought home from Rigshospitalet in 2006.

In a few days, he will participate a traditional graduation ceremony along with all his other classmates.

What a lovely family! It is precious to see them all togther. Celebrating Crown Prince Christian's important day. They were all dressed casual, yet polished. Princess Isabella and Princess Josephine in windy blouse. Prince Vincent in white shorts - matching his older brothers bright white trousers and King Frederik in two different shades of blue.

Mary on the other hand wore a wonderful printed Zimmermann skirt and a beloved white linen Bagutta blouse. One she has become very fond of lately. She first wore the beautiful skirt on a business trip to Indonesia in 2019.

She embraced the down-on-earth-look with brown midi heeled sandals from Gianvito Rossi and a chic Prada bag. I really love that bag! The texture is great. Mary's fine jewellery are earrings and a golden bracelet from Dulong Fine Jewelry and Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau necklaces. The ring is created by Annikat.

175 years with the Danish Constitution


05 June 2024

Queen Margrethe and Princess Benedikte accompanied King Frederik and Queen Mary when celebrating the 175th anniversary of the Danish Constitution on June 5th.

They attended a church service in Holmen's Church on occasion of the anniversary, followed by a gathering in Folketinget at Christiansborg Castle. One part of Christiansborg houses the Danish Government - including the famous 'Folketingssal' (the Government Hall).

Truly makes me thrilled to see that Andrew GN dress again! Do you remember Mary wore it at Princess Isabella's confirmation in 2022? A year later, Mary was wearing the very same dress at the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. What year do you favor? - 2022, 2023 or 2024.

When celebrating the 175th anniversary of the Danish Constitution, Mary styled the beautiful dress with a new buckle. Personally, I like the original better. She matched the copper-like brooch with a year old custom-made hat created by Susanne Juul. Mary first wore this hat in 2004! Not quite sure I am the biggest fan of the color-combo. What do you think?

The fine box clutch is brand new. I have not been able to identify it yet. Apparently, many designers have a similar model, which makes it a bit more difficult. Her nude leather pumps are old ones from Prada. The brown floral earrings are still a mystery to me.

Her necklaces are very likely to be from Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau.

Presented with the Greenlandic Self-Government's Gold Medal 'Nersornaat'


04 June 2024

Queen Mary was honored with the Greenlandic Self-Government's Gold Medal 'Nersornaat'. It was handed over to her by the Chairwoman of Greenland's Government Inatsisartut Mimi Karlsen on June 5th at Frederik VIII's Palace at Amalienborg.

She was given the medal as a proof of her yearlong commitment to children and young people's well-being in Greenland.

The metal shows a polarbeer on one side with the inscription Kalaallit Nunaat (meaning Greenland) and on the other side a yellow arctic poppy and the inscription Nersornaat (deserved).



When receiving the prestiges golden medal, Mary looked amazing in a simple white button-down and brand new jacquard skirt from Lunatica Milano! Just look at the details. I absolutely adore how she matched two such different fabrics. Makes a wonderful outfit. It is not the first time Mary has made this combo: elegant skirt and plain blouse. Like, when she attended the opening of 'Copenhagen Fashion Summit 2018.' Or at 'Copenhagen 2021' in Fællesparken in 2021.

I love how she styled the outfit with old Marlene Juhl-Jørgensen earrings. Mary first wore them in 2009, when visiting Prince Joachim and Princess Marie at Rigshospitalet, congratulating them with their firstborn - Prince Henrik. Her other golden jewellery are from both Dulong Fine Jewelry, Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau.

Her glasses are from Gucci. What pair of shoes do you think she wore with this outfit? - my guess would be nude or beige pointed pumps.

Hjernesagen's 30th anniversary and a visit at Sct. Maria Hospice


02 June 2024

Around noon, the Queen arrived at the DGI House in Vejle to attend the grand celebration of Hjernesagen. The organization is celebration their 30th anniversary this year. At the event, Queen Mary also presented Hjernesagen's Research Scholarship.

She gave a speech before handing over the scholarship to physiotherapist and PhD student Birgitte Hede Ebbesen from Aalborg University Hospital. Birgitte Hede Ebbesen researches passing blood clots in the brain and the impact on less strokes.

Queen Mary also paid a visit to Sct. Maria Hospice in Vejle. She was given a guided tour around the hospice by General Manager Lone Jensen. She also met with some of the residents followed by a tour in the orangery.



I rarely dislike what Mary is wearing. Her outfits and style in general are always an inspiration to me. However, I don't really get why she wore the blue blazer with that outfit. Do you? Or am I the only one who's a bit confused. Like how Mary styled her white Baguetta blouse with linen-blend trousers and a chic belt. That makes a wonderful look. The blazer did not do anything good.

Her incredible diamond earrings are reused ones from Sophie Bille Brahe and the necklaces are Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau. Favorite necklaces of them all. We also get a glimpse of an old golden Dulong Fine Jewelry bangle - and a couple of other bracelets. Some I haven't been able to identify yet.

I am very sure, she was wearing her 85mm brown suede Gianvito Rossi pumps.

Is it a coincidence that Mary and Margrethe are both wearing the same bright pink colored dresses? I doubt it but I like the fact that they both wore eye-catching colors. Mary wore a reused No 21 dress. She has worn it on four other occasions. In 2018, 2019, 2021 and 2023. When is your favourite look? I'm a big fan of her 2018 outfit - mainly because of the shoes.

For her husbands birthday, Mary accessorized her elegant dress with exclusive Annikat earrings and fine necklaces from Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau. Do you wear particular jewellery on a daily basis? I wear my engagement ring and often a necklace. We also get a glimpse of her custom-made ruby ring created in style to match Queen Ingrid's Ruby Parure.

A first glance, I was not a huge fan of her outfit. I really do not know where. The more I study it; the more I love it. Did you know that Mary actually wore the exact same Jesper Høvring blouse at the opening of 'Copenhagen Fashion Summit' in 2017? At this years opening, she wore embraced the beautiful of the blouse with a reused maxi skirt.

The skirt has never been identified, but she has worn it in 2019, 2021 and 2022. Why is it so hard to find? - the print is so significant. Adore the way Mary matched skirt and shoes in color. Wish I had a pair of yellow Gianvito Rossi pumps in my wardrobe. They are gorgeous.

Mary wore a couple of well-known necklaces from Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau. The third one is new. Love the 'chunky' look. It has been identified as Dior. Look closer and you will see diamond studded golden earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry. Her rather large ring is also a Dulong Fine Jewelry creation.

Royal Run 2024


20 May 2024

95,000 Danes participated this years Royal Run, which took place in Fredericia, Brønderslev, Aarhus, Kalundborg and Copenhagen/Frederiksberg. 

The run goes back to when King Frederik celebrated his 50th birthday in 2018 and was ment to gather people for the celebration. The idea came from the King himself.

This year, King Frederik ran One Mile in Fredericia, 5 km in Aarhus and 10 km in Copenhagen/Frederiksberg. Crown Prince Christian visited Brønderslev. He participated a One Mile run. Queen Mary went to Kalundborg and participated a 5 km run. 

Meanwhile, Princess Isabella was accompanied by Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine in Copenhagen for a One Mile. Prince Vincent joined his father for 10 km in the afternoon.



Really not much to say. Mary nailed it! Love that we have a Queen that show up just like everybody else. Dressed in this years Royal Run t-shirt and simple black running tights. Later on, when back in Copenhagen watching the run with her youngest, she added a reused Royal Run jacket from 2019. Both t-shirt and jacket are made by CRAFT.

When running, she wore a brand new black TROLLE cap. Her shoes are old ones from Asics and the blue shades are Gucci.

Before her run in Kalundborg, she posted a photo on social media showing her beloved necklaces from Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau. Always keeping her family close.
