Christmas concert with DR Girls' Choir

15. December 2024

Queen Mary has been patron for DR Girls' Choir since 2018. In May of this year, the court announced that she will continue her work with the choir until 2029.

On December 15th the Queen arrived at DR's Concert Hall in Copenhagen to attend the choir's Christmas concert. 

The choir's concert honored Danish Christmas hymns like "Det kimer nu til julefest" and "Mit hjerte altid vanker".

I want a green suit right away! Who's with me? Mary looked wonderful in her new suit from Alberta Ferretti. What a color. It's been ages since Mary has worn anything from Ferretti. Even her brand new satin blouse is a Ferretti design. Love how she matched both suit and blouse in color. Really clever.

Beautifully she embraced the style of her green outfit with emerald and diamond earrings purchased at an Bruun Rasmussen auction. Even her Annikat ring matches. What is not to like? Usually I am not a bag fan of bright colors and black but somehow she managed to make it work. The black Naledi Copenhagen clutch and patent leather pumps from Gianvito Rossi completed her look with such elegance.

Remember to follow my royal Christmas calendar and the royals own Advent calendar.

Opening of "Children Need Arts - Global Summit"

&

Visiting Daycare Center Christianehøj

09 May 2023

Crown Princess Mary was warmly welcomed by children and young people from both Denmark, Greenland and the Faroe Island, when she arrived to attend the opening of the international children's culture summit "Children Need Arts - Global Summit".

The summit acknowledges the importance of arts and its cultural meaning for children and young people and its impact on their self worth, potential and opportunities.

Around noon, the Crown Princess attended the 50th anniversary of Daycare Center Christianehøj. It was celebrated with songs, lots of balloons and some speeches.

For 50 years, Christianehøj has taken care of citizens with a late brain injury in Gladsaxe Municipality. Part of the citizens everyday is among others yoga, musicquizzes, sining, etc.

When visiting Daycare Center Christianehøj

Dressed to impress! Mary dazzled wearing her bright red Dolce & Gabbana dress. Wonderful for celebrating both the opening of "Children Need Arts - Global Summit" and the 50th anniversary of Daycare Center Christianehøj.

She matched the beautiful dress with magnificent suedes red reused pumps from Gianvito Rossi. One time, she wore them on a business trip in Vietnam (here).

The delicate and elegant necklaces are from Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau. Necklaces I imagine means of great deal to her. She has worn them a lot lately.

Maybe you saw her brooch? The stunning piece was identified as Marni. I truly hope for a close-up one day. At first I thought her brooch was new, but somehow I think she has worn it before at a Christmas church service in 2016 (here) and when visiting the Jorn Museum in 2017 (here). Love when she is wearing brooches. They are my favorite piece of jewellery. That is why I really adore, when Mary is wearing brooches because it (hopefully) inspire more of us to wear these fine pieces.

It is not the first time Crown Princess Mary is attending the presentation of the Women's Board Award. It was first handed out in Denmark in 2014. The Crown Princess has presented winners of the Women's Board Award for now seven years - 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018, 2019 and 2020.

Frederik et Mary ● Billed Bladet ● Royal Portraits Gallery

Yes. Yes. Yes. This is exactly the look I have been waiting for! I truly missed her wearing some colours and that dark green is everything I needed. This magical dress is custom-made by talented Søren Le Schmidt. A one-of-a-kind Danish designer. He has created several pieces to her wardrobe (here, here, here). Mary wore the emerald green dress for the first time, when being celebrated by collaborators and partners of the Mary Foundation on occasion of her 50th birthday last year (here).

As in 2022, she decided to embraced the style by wearing nude pointed pumps from Prada. I always adores when she matches a bright colour with nude accessories. The beautiful ostrich clutch is from Naledi Copenhagen. A personal favourite of hers.

Mary also wore a stunning green ring from Annikat. A lovely match with the custom-made Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen earrings. Of course, we all like the idea of "F" standing for Frederik and the small medalion to be a gift from her husband. Right? Nevertheless, the shorter 'F' necklace has been identified as a Halberstadt creation.

Day 1. A visit to Bangladesh

25 April

ARRIVAL

Crown Princess Mary's visit to Bangladesh, was only announced the day before. The visit will last for three days. She arrived on April 25th to Dhaka in the morning and was warmly welcomed by the Minister of Foreign Affairs in Bangladesh (here, here).

The Crown Princess is visiting Bangladesh representing Denmark in supporting a corporation between the two countries and their work on solving issues in connection to climate changes. Especially renewable energy is on the agenda.

Arriving to Dhaka, Mary wore a lovely travel outfit. I have only been on a plane once, but traveling for many hours take the right outfit. Think Mary found it. She was wearing an old linen blazer with a pair of  trousers. The new brown Naledi Copenhagen bag was a great addition to the rest of the look. Heaven identified the bag. She also wore a lovely green scarf.

DURING THE DAY

Her official program started with a welcoming ceremony at Bangledesh's Primeminister Sheikh Hasina. The Crown Princess was accompanied by the Danish Minister of Development Flemming Møller Mortensen. He is also part of the "delegation" for the rest of the three-day visit.

Flemming Møller Mortensen also played a significant role already on the first day because he was the one to sign a so-called "green agreement". The same did Bangladesh's Foreign Minister H.E. A.K. Abdul Momen. It was a big day and Crown Princess Mary witness it all.

When she had lunch as the Danish Embassy in Dhaka, she met with other representative from several Danish companies. They shared their experiences and their work in Bangladesh with, among others, green and sustainable solutions in the climate field.

Mary looked absolutely lovely and really beautiful on her first day in Dhaka, Bangladesh. Heaven managed to identify her stunning blue printed dress as Beulah London. A designer she has become fund of the last couple of years. This is particularly delicate. Like a dreamy cake. 

She matched her brand new dress with just as delicate and elegant accessories. The golden earrings featuring rather large white pearls have followed her for maaaany years. They are created by the talented Marianne Dulong from Dulong Fine Jewelry. If those earrings could speak. Mary also wore a couple of bracelets from the same designer. One of them old. The other one is all new. It is from Dulong Fine Jewelry's latest collection. Her golden necklace is a reuse. It is from Orit Elhanati. I truly admire her designs and creativity with materials and stones. Impressive craftsmanship! We also get a small glimpse of an old Anni Lu pearl bracelet.

Her pointed nude Prada pumps are old as well. She often likes to pair nude pumps with more colourfull outfits, but this time she paired them with a not se laud dress. Makes the outfit look so fine and fresh. Don't you think?

Mary had changed to a more comfortable and relaxed outfit, when arriving to the hotel. She wore lovely green trousers and match them with a plain white blouse. Once again, she flashed her new brown leather bag from Naledi Copenhagen.

Queen Margrethe's 50th anniversary

14 January

Celebrating Queen Margrethe's anniversary

For months, we have waited to celebrate the Queen on her very special day. Her 50th anniversary as Queen of Denmark. Today, it is 50 years since Crown Princess Margrethe became Queen Margrethe after her father, King Frederik IX, passed away 72 years old.

Many events were planned to take place on occasion anniversary, but due to the current situation with the pandemic, much of this has been cancelled or set for another date. But no anniversary without any celebrations. So, around noon, the royal family arrived to Folketinget at Christiansborg to receive the Governments celebration. Both Crown Prince Frederik, Crown Princess Mary, Prince Joachim, Princess Marie and Princess Benedikte attended the celebration at Christiansorg.

Later on, the family was driven by train to Roskilde to visit the grave of the Queen's parents, King Frederik IX and Queen Ingrid at Roskilde Cathedral. Each of the couple's girls laid a personal coloured wreath. Queen Margrethe a blue one, Princess Benedikte a pink wreath and Princess Anne-Marie a yellow one. The Crown Prince Couple and Prince Joachim and Princess Marie also laid a wreath.

All of them, were beautifully dressed for the occasion. The Queen in her light blue suit, Princess Benedikte in purple, Princess Marie pastel green and Mary in a lovely light brown. Personally, I really like Princess Benedikte's outfit. She looks beautiful in that dark purple colour.

Mary was in a brand new Gabriela Hearst dress. I learned about this from Heaven, who was able to identify this stunning dress. Underneath, she wore a white blouse. I am not sure this is a perfect combination, but I guess it could be because of the weather. The wind is still pretty cold. In Roskilde she added another layer: a new woolen cardigan and a reused light brown cape. Mary has worn the cape before, when visiting Rødding Højskole on occasion of its 175th anniversary in 2019 (here). It is from Oscar de la Renta.

Mary matched her beautiful, vintage vibe, outfit with an old Jane Taylor hat. She first wore it, when the Belgium King and Queen visited Denmark in 2017 (here). I really like the style of it with the rest of her outfit. Looks super stylish. Maybe she honored Queen Ingrid by wearing the Ruby Parure earrings for the event? And also the later added ruby ring created by Dulong Fine Jewelry. I think it was a lovely gesture. The large white pearl necklace was a great detail as well.

She loves wearing these "monochrome" outfits. Matching clothes with matching accessories. That was also the case on January 14th. Mary embraced her look with both a Prada handbag and a Naledi Copenhagen clutch. Also the nude Prada pumps matched perfectly!

Private dinner at Amalienborg

As mentioned before, many different event and dinners had been planned to celebrate the Queen on her anniversary, but much of it has also been cancelled or given another date. This is why, I love it even more that the family celebrated the day with a private dinner at Amalienborg. Both the Crown Prince family and Prince Joachim and Princess Marie and their children attended - also Prince Nikolai and Prince Felix were prensent of their grandmother's day of celebration. Princess Benedikte was also there to honor her sister.

Before the dinner took place, the royal family captured a memory from the evening with a photo. Queen Margrethe and all of her family.

Black was obviously a hit at the dinner. Most of them, wore either black dresses or suits, but not Mary. She rocked a brand new purple wrap blouse and black trousers. This could also be a jumpsuit, which I think is very likely. Lately, she is fond of jumpsuits for "dress-events". The blouse is also kinda short, which could indicate it being a jumpsuit.

Mary was wearing long diamond earrings as accessory. They feature a purple Amethyst in a shape of a drop. A beautiful match. She has worn these earrings on many occasions before. Like in 2018 at the 100th anniversary of Iceland's sovereignty (here). Mary was also a necklace. To me it looks brand new. I still do not know where it is from. The new official photo revealed that she embraced the style by wearing black suede pumps from Gianvito Rossi.

Rødding Højskole's 175th anniversary

07 November

Crown Princess Mary arrived in a splendid mood and was warmly welcomed in Rødding where she was about to attend the 175th birthday anniversary of Rødding Højskole. This makes it one of the oldest folk high school in Denmark. Mads Rykind-Eriksen, the Principal of Rødding Højskole welcomed her with smiles and a friendly handshake. He was also the one showing her around the school.

Rødding Collage has always, and still is, all about education and formation which is based on Grundtvig's thoughts on life and public education. Nicolai Frederik Severin Grundtvig was, among other things, a Danish author, theologian, philosopher and pastor.

The anniversary was also celebrated with lots of speeches hel by Elsebeth Gerner Nielsen, Chairwoman of the Association of the Folk High Schools in Denmark and Principal, Mads Rykind-Eriksen and some of the students also entered the stage and shared a few words on occasion of the birthday celebration. The Crown Princess was also meeting with some of the students, who proudly showed her their current projects that they were working on.

Kongehuset ● Det Danske Kongehus ● Frederik et Mary ● Billed-Bladet ● Royal Fashion Blog

She was one big smile while attending the birthday celebration of Rødding Højskole in Rødding. Mary had chosen the most wonderful and stylish outfit. The skirt was first worn earlier this year at a, more or less, private event - the opening of Prince Nikolaos of Greece's exhibition Celestial Choreography exhibited in Rundetårn in Copenhagen, here. At that time no one knew a thing about the woolen midi skirt, but we all loved it. Now Elena managed to identify the skirt. It comes from a brand called Giuliva Heritage Collection. The skirt is really an amazing match with the skirt. It is a Oscar de la Renta design as I assumed.

Mary embraced the chic outfit by wearing a reused knitted blouse from CO. It features the mode incredible details. Especially the neck and sleeves have made me want something like this too. One day I hope we will see her wear this blouse with a pair of wide-legged trousers. She also accessorized the looks with stunning white pearl jewellery - earrings and a bracelet from Dulong Fine Jewelry. That same designer created two of there other bracelets and that stunning diamond ring.

She was also wearing two other bracelets. The massive golden bangle is her love bracelet from Cartier and the second one is a delicate pieces featuring diamonds from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. To match the rest of her outfit Mary wore a beige ostrich clutch from Naledi Copenhagen and python pumps from Gianvito Rossi. Both pieces of accessory have been worn on several previous occasions. The rather large beaded brooch is still unidentified.

Flag Day 2019

05 September

September 5th is a very special day for a lot of people. It is the official Flag Day for Danish soldiers abroad fighting for a better world. Both people that are in war areas and those who have been on a mission, are honor by this annual event. Since 2009 the event has taken place with a wreath laying at Kastellet, a church service in Holmens Church and with a ceremonial parade at the castle square at Christiansborg.

Both Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary attended all three ceremonial honors of the Danish soldiers. Each year is emotional. So was this year. Especially Crown Princess Mary showed a few tears of compassion. I imagine the atmosphere is not really to describable. I have never experienced it myself, but I am sure it is a something you have to experience to tell.

Personally I am impressed and honor that a rather small country as Denmark is able to make an annual event like this. It is with great pride I represent Denmark as Dane. Thanks to those who arranged Flag Day - it makes all of us proud. That is also why I think the Crown Prince Couple gladly attend every year.

Attending the event in Copenhagen, Crown Prince Frederik was dressed in his black uniform with matching gloves, orderer, a hat and polished shoes. Next to him, he had his lovely wife. She was looking gorgeous in a brand new dusty white double-breasted jacket. Several designers crossed my ming, but Heaven managed to find her new jacket at non the less than Alexander McQueen. I absolutely love everything about this new piece. The buttons, sleeves, peplum illusion, collar, etc. She matched it with a reused floral printed midi skirt from Andiata. A wonderful piece to show that summer is not over yet.

As accessories, Mary had chosen a wide-brimmed hat from milliner Susanne Juul. Actually she had the same model in both purple and beige as well. This black one is perfect for the occasion. She embraced the style by also wearing nude leather gloves, a Naledi Copenhagen clutch in the same color and power pink pointed pumps from Gianvito Rossi. All reused pieces worn on numerous occasions.

I spotted both a diamond ring from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and old diamond earrings, which I strongly believe is from Hartmann's. It is their style but nothing is proven yet. We also get a glimpse of a golden bracelet first worn recently. Duong Fine Jewelry is the creator.

Day 3. Official visit to South Korea

22 May

During the day

Two days ago, the Crown Prince Couple arrived to Seoul in South Korea. For three days they have attended an official state visit with a business delegation. The visit focuses on Danish technology and quality products. In addition, the couple are also part of the 60th anniversary celebration of diplomatic relations between Denmark and South Korea.

On the third day in Seoul, Crown Princess Mary first visited Seoul National University Hospital. She was introduced to The Seoul Sunflower Centre - a project that works to create a safe environment for children in need. She then visited Jongno Children's Theater. The Danish theater group MishMash  made a performance about the Cultural Year 2019 between Denmark and South Korea called 'The Nose'.

After a business lunch with prominent Korean women, Crown Princess Mary attended the opening of a Fritz Hansen Showroom. It is the first flagship store in Seoul with focus on the famous Danish designer Poul Kjærholm. A few hours later she then attended the opening of another exhibition by Royal Copenhagen at K.O.N.G. Gallery. The Danish porcelain company made a brand new collection on occasion of Royal Copenhagen Korea's 25th anniversary. The collection is Flora Danica painted Korean wild flowers.

All day Mary was so comfortable - both in what she was wearing and her spirit. She was one big smile. On the third day in Seoul Mary was dressed in a reused Marc by Marc Jacobs dress. This is the third time we see her in the dress. It is best known from when she wore it in 2012 at the presentation of the Skt. Loye Award, here. Actually the dress was worn first time a year earlier on an official visit to Australia. Unfortunately pictures are hard to find. Its color has often been discused. Personally I still go with red, not orange. But I think it comes in different colors.

As shoes she had chosen a reuse pair of nude pointed pumps from Prada. Somehow I think these look very comfortable to wear. The leather looks really soft. Sometimes I wonder how she is able to wear heeled shoes as much as she does. We rarely see her wear other than pumps on official events. Nevertheless, she matched the shoes with a nude ostrich clutch from Naledi Copenhagen.

The earrings are old as well. Worn on a few other occasions. It has never been confirmed, but they are told to be a design by Dulong Fine Jewelry. That very same designer did in fact make four of her six worn bracelets. The other two is from Cartier and possibly Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen, here. A classy and really elegant outfit.

Exhibition

After a long day for both of them, they met at the opening of an Asger Jorn exhibition at the National Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art in Seoul. It is the first solo exhibition of Asger Jorn ever exhibited in Asia. As patron for the Danish and South Korean Cultural Year of 2019, the Crown Princess entered the stage and gave a speech on occasion of the opening.

A couple of hours later it was time for a dinner. The Crown Prince Couple attended a cultural dinner as part of the Cultural Year 2019 between Denmark and South Korea - a 60 years anniversary of diplomatic relations between the two countries. Both of them were in a splendid mood though it had been three really long days. Nevertheless, they smiled and had a wonderful time.

Personally, I think it has bee one amazing state visit. For sure I will keep it in mind for years. I am a little late with news from their trip, but better now than never, right? Thanks for following the couple going to Seoul with me. I wish for many more in the future.

When the couple visited South Korea for the first time in 2012, Mary was wore very colorful clothes. This time she was dressed a bit more in plain colors and silhouettes. Not bad at all. Attending the last events before going back to Denmark Mary showed up in a reused sustainable white dress made by David Andersen, here. It is the forth time she's wearing the dress. Though it's quite simple, it is covered with incredible details. I just realized that it has an open back. That is what good design is alla bout - discovering new details over and over again.

Mary always enjoyed golden jewellery. So did she on this trip. Especially at the opening of the Asger Jorn exhibition and the following dinner. The stunning earrings are from Rebekka Notkin. She first wore them not that long ago. I struggled trying to identify them. A friend of mine immediately recognized them as Rebekka Notkin. I then see one golden bangle from Cartier and four others bracelets from Dulong Fine Jewelry. Love that she is wearing all these different bracelets. Makes a great look, don't you think? I also noticed her golden ring as Dulong Fine Jewelry. The clutch is a design by Judith Leiber and the golden pumps are from Manolo Blahnik. A winner outfit.

Axcel's Company Day 2019

14 May

In many ways it was a special day on Tuesday, when the Crown Princess attended Axcel's Company Day 2019. She celebrated her 15th wedding anniversary doing what she does best: being an advocate and representative for the Danish royal house. Congratulations to the lovely couple.

Around noon, the Crown Princess arrived to Docken to attend the aforementioned arrangement. This year Company Day celebrate its 20th anniversary. Company Day is arranged by the think tank Axcelfuture and is an investment for the benefit of the Danish society.

Right from the beginning, Crown Princess Mary was in a splendid mood. She was welcomed with great smiles, flowers and handshakes. Shortly after arrival she entered the stage af gave a speech. She was one big smile giving her speak as part of the conference. This year's conference goes under the theme 'The Business of Al'.

Mary looked absolutely great attending the Compay Day event at Docken in Copenhagen Tuesday noon. She was beautifully dressed in a bright red belted Dolce & Gabbana dress. She has previously been seen wearing the dress matched by that stunning red tweed jacket from YDE Copenhagen, here. Then and now are quite alike. I wish one day to own a red dress like hers. The colour is all perfect. Personally I love to wear red, but it has to be the right shade. This is it. Mary looks just magnificent.

She accessorized the outfit with both bracelets from Cartier and Dulong Fine Jewelry. All reused pieces, but not out of style. Basically, what is ever out of style? Trends keep coming back and Mary beautifully shows how to wear pieces for more than two weeks. Like the Nadia Shelbaya necklace with the emerald beads. To me it looks like she's wearing a hairclip as well. I can't tell if we have seen it before, because I need a close up. The clutch is created by Naledi Copenhagen and those edgy red suede pumps are Gianvito Rossi design (please be mine one day!).

Day 2. Business and cultural promotion in Texas

12  March

During the day

For three days, the Crown Princess is on a business and cultural visit in Austin and Houston, Texas, USA. About now she has attended both an event to promote women leaders, payed a visit to 'Danish Gastronomy - A Michelin experience' and met with Texas' Governor, here.

On Tuesday, March 11, Crown Princess Mary had traveled to Houston. She was warmly welcomed with a meeting with Houstons Mayor, Sylvester Turner at Houston City Hall. What a friendly and smiling man Sylvester Turner. I am sure he was more than proud to welcome the Crown Princess to his city and tell her all about how wonderful it is. As part of the welcoming ceremony she also attended the launch of a collaboration between Houston and Denmark focusing on urban development and climate adaptation. It is all about sharing visions, ideas and technology to be able to withstand climate changes. And really, Crown Princess Mary was in a great spirit. She was all smiles and happy eyes.

Meeting Houstons Mayor at the arrival to Houston Mary had chosen to wear one of her old floral dresses. A dress that comes from Giambattista Valli. She first wore this beautiful dress when the French Presidential couple visited Copenhagen last year, here. Back then she embraced the style by wearing black pointed pumps and a matching box clutch. This year in Houston black had turned into nude accessories instead. Both the ostrich clutch from Naledi Copenhagen and leather pumps from Prada have been seen the previous day.

Once again we got a chance to get a look at her other accessories. Her diamond earrings are an old pair created by Danish Dulong Fine Jewelry. They go way back. Its pendant is removable and can be replaced with different stones. Through the years we have both seen them worn with a diamond pendant, one in coral, rose quartz, etc. Two bracelets worn at the event in Houston are also from Dulong Fine Jewelry. I would not be surprised if pictures would show her golde Cartier bangle as well. I was just not able to find one. Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen made two fo her diamond rings. The third one I have never identified.

Crown Princess Mary's first day in Texas was packed from early morning till late in the evening. Her second day wasn't as busy. First she was welcomed by Houstons Mayor, Sylvester Turner. Later she attended the launch of a future collaboration between Houston and Denmark with purpose to share knowledge and solutions on climate changes.

In the evening, the Crown Princess was invited as guest of honor to attend a gala dinner on behalf of her visit. She arrived to Houston Museum of Fine Arts, where the dinner was about to take place. After she was welcomed herself, Crown Princess Mary placed in line and welcomed other guests.

Official representatives and Danish companies working with green energy and pharmaceuticals  and medical equipment also attended the gala dinner along with the Crown Princess.

Mary stunned at the gala dinner. She arrived like Hollywood star in her reused Jesper Høvring gown. It has been two years since we first saw that inducible gown. Do you remember her wearing it when the King and Queen of Belgium visited Copenhagen in 2017, here? Mary had chosen to style her evening gown with black glitter pumps from Pura Lopez and a matching box clutch from Sergio Rossi. She reused the pumps from the previous day.

Cartier created that magnificent golden bangle and Dulong Fine Jewelry made the other one. Stunning pieces. Both earrings, bracelet and ring matched in colour. Purple stones and diamonds are a lovely combo. Never thought these two colours would look good together, but they really do.

Love her curly hairstyle. I often miss these feminine hairstyles, but we rarely sees them. Now we did and it looks beautiful. She even accessorized her hairstyle with, what I believe is a, PICO Copenhagen French hair-comb. I like what I see. Do you?

Day 1. Business and cultural promotion in Texas

11 March

During the day

A couple of months ago it was announced that Crown Princess Mary was going on a business and cultural promotion visit in Austin and Houston, Texas, USA. Now it was time for the american people to welcome the very own: Crown Princess of Denmark. The visit last from March 11-13th.

I guess she arrived that Sunday evening to be ready for the following days activities in Austin. Monday morning Crown Princess Mary arrived to House of Scandinavia, which is a pop-up lounge that brings together activities that are based on Nordic sustainable solutions. Here she attended an early meeting entitled 'Women in Leadership & How to Inspire the Nest Generation of Women Leaders' with propose to women leaders potential as rolemodels. The Crown Princess was accompanied by among others Danish Minister of Culture, Mette Bock, the Danish ambassador in the United States, Henrik Hahn Brahmsen and EU Commissioner, Margrethe Vestager.

Crown Princes Mary also attended the worlds most important festival South by Southwest or SXSW. This is the festival to go to for tech, film, gastronomy and art. More than 280,000 people don't lie, right? And then it all takes place in Austin. Denmark was this year also a significant representative at the festival.

What an outfit. What a start. Mary dazzled in a great combination of both new and old pieces. I am sure you noticed her new blue and green coat right away. So did I. Do you like it? Think it got some kinda exciting vibe. Heaven managed to identify Mary's brand new coat as Baum und Pferdgarten. A designer we have not seen in quite awhile. She matched the new coat with fitted black trousers and a reused black blouse. Both pieces are still not identified. Or at least not by me.

She embraced the style by wearing lots of stunning jewellery, such as other smashing accessories. Katerina Pitzner is the designer of her that infinity diamond necklace. Beautiful work. Luckily I've got a closeup showing Mary's jewellery. I am able to tell you about four or her five worn bracelets. She is an expensive lady with all that golden bracelets. One is from Cartier and the three others are created by Dulong Fine Jewelry. The fifth diamond bangle could be an Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen design, here. But Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen is for sure the one who made the two diamond rings.

Nina Ricci designed Mary's lovely green cross-shoulder bag. Mary has also worn it a a clutch on a few others occasions prior to this one. Heaven suggested to me that her new chunky heel pumps are from Jimmo Choo and I think she hit homerun. For a long time I wanted to add a similar pair of shoes to my wardrobe, but somehow Mary makes it work way better than I do. Now I them even more.

Meeting the Governor

Around noon Crown Princess Mary was officially welcomed by Texas Governor, Greg Abbott and his wife in the governor's residence. Seems like it was a true pleasure for all three of them to meet. The Crown Princess was one big smile such as Greg Abbott was. I am sure the Governor and his wife were happy to welcome the Crown Princess and tell her little about Texas.

An hour or so later she experienced the performance 'Tow with the Flow' that focuses on over-consumption and sustainability in clothing production and fashion. The performance shows 17 custom-made suits prepared by the Scandinavian design studio Sur Le Chemin.

Before attending a late reception Crown Princess Mary was present at Nordic Music Showcase. Five Nordic bands performed presented by the Danish music festival Roskilde Festival. The Crown Princess opened it all with a speech.

Meeting the Governor and his lovely wife, Mary was beautifully dressed in a brand new dress. One day has almost passed and we already got so many new (stunning) pieces. It was found at Moss and Spy by Heaven. Do you remember her wearing another Moss and Spy dress? It was on a visit to Seattle in 2018, here. Incredible work.

This time in Texas she embraced the style with wonderful nude leather pumps from Prada. We have often seen her wear these pointed pumps with colorful dresses as on February 28th, when she presented the ElieForsk Awards 2019, here. Nude accessories and bright colored clothes are a match made in heaven. That is also why I love that she wore a nude ostrich clutch from Naledi Copenhagen. As earlier the same day Mary shone with golden bracelets from both Cartier and Dulong Fine Jewelry, who also created that impressive diamond earrings. Her incredible hairstyle is also worth noticing.

Reception

The Crown Princess ended a long first day in Texas by attending a reception at House of Scandinavia.  She arrived like a princess in a Hollywood movie. Walking most elegantly down the stairs at the event in Austin. All attendances enjoyed a reception with lots of cultural performances from among others Denmark. These Danish participants are participating South by Southwest. Crown Princess Mary pared a visit to the festival earlier the same day.

A long finally came to an end and it was time for the Crown Princess to get a long night's sleep

What Mary wore at the reception at House of Scandinavia reminded me a lot of something Queen Letizia of Spain would wear. She really surprised me with what she was wearing. Keep it simple, yet super elegant and classy. Mary rocked that black and white outfit. Both the black embellished blouse and that crispy white blazer are brand new pieces in her wardrobe. So far I have not been able to find any of them yet. The blazer reminds me of something from Alexander McQueen, but that is guesswork at the moment. Her new embellished blouse got a lot in comment to an old creation from By Malene Birger worn in an interview with Australian Women's Weekly from 2004, here. Don't you think? With the embellishment and fringes?

She caught everybody's attention with a rather large ring, golden bracelets and of course that new calm shell earrings. A good friend of mine recognized them right away as Rebekka Notkin. A Danish  jewellery brand. Think she is wearing a black Carlend Copenhagen clutch and matching pumps from Pura Lopez.
