Opening of the Parliament 2025

October 07, 2025

The opening of the Parliament always takes place on the first Thursday of October. Everyone is gathered for the opening at Christiansborg Palace in Copenhagen.

This year King Frederik and Queen Mary were accompanied by Queen Margrethe and her sister Princess Benedikte. The four of them listened to the politicians speeches as part of the opening.

Queen Mary was to host a dinner for the Mary Foundation's Presidum in the evening at Frederik VIIIs Palace at Amalienborg.

It's always exciting with annual event because it makes us able to "compare" looks. Not just to says which ones we prefer the most but to compare her style evolving every years. Personally I loved her outfits around 2007-2010. That being said I adore her outfits in present time.

This year Mary was wearing a beloved black peplum jacket from Scanlan Theodore and a beautiful reused lace skirt from Lunatica Milano. I'm I the only one who's getting a 50s vibe of this?

Mary accessorized the vintage look with stunning pearl earrings and a matching brooch. Both pieces are part of the Danish Pearl Poiré Parure. The custom-made Dulong Fine Jewelry ring was a perfect addition to the other pearl jewellery.

She seems rather fond of wearing the color bordeaux these days. So did she at the opening on October 7th. The clutch is still unidentified but the elegant hat is from Jane Taylor and her pumps are Gianvito Rossi.

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.
