The second New Year reception

Thursday, January 4th


Once again Queen Margrethe and the Crown Prince couple were gathered at Christiansborg castle to celebrate the very last New Year reception. Representatives from major Danish organizations royal patrons were specially invited such as officers from the Armed Forces and the Emergency Agency of
1st, 2nd. and 3rd. rank. More than 900 guests were invited to the reception. Feel the atmosphere in the video below that also show the royal family members arriving to Christiansborg in Copenhagen. The Crown Princess has posted a few of her own photos from the reception, here. For sure I am not the only one loving these photos taken by the Crown Princess, right?


For many of you it is already old new what I am about to tell you. Nevertheless, you are going to hear it all one more time. Had a hard time finding pictures from the last reception. Did you have the same problem? I was dying to see what Mary was wearing. Now I know. She showed up wearing an all reused outfit, but in a brand new combination. One we have never seen before. Mary embraced a polished look by wearing a brown velvet jacket featuring a waist band, worn here, here & here. Never been identified. The jacket was beautifully matched with a reused skirt from Rachel Gilbert. Mary impressed the world wearing the skirt for the first time when she covered Vogue Australia in 2016, here. She had accessorized her outfit with large two-tone earrings from Jewlscph, a Orit Elhanati necklace in gold and a Cartier bracelet. Such as her old satin clutch from Bottega Veneta. Because of you I have now seen a picture of her shoes. Differently seems like they are from Gianvito Rossi, but I wonder whether they are patent or suede? Let me know what you think. That simple ponytail and natural make-up completed one good looking outfit with perfection.

The first New Year reception

Wednesday, January 3rd



Around noon on Wednesday, the Crown Prince couple attended the first New Year reception. The reception took place at Christiansborg castle in Copenhagen. It was hosted by the Queen, who also attended. Representatives from the diplomacy were invited to the reception. All of them were greeted by the royal family with a handshake after a speech was given. It is a tradition that goes way back in time. Little has changed. Before the Crown Prince couple and Queen Margrethe attended the reception at Christiansborg castle, they attended another reception. This took place at Amalienborg palace just like the New Year Banquet, here. Representatives from Supreme Court judges, The Royal Corps of Life and the Regiment Officer Corps were gathered to met the royal members.

Second best in January is to see what Mary is wearing for the New year receptions. Don't you think? Often we see her in something reused. The same thing happened this year. Right before the Queen arrived, Mary showed up with her husband wearing her reused Lasse Spangenberg Copenhagen gown and matching cape. We saw the same combination last year at a similar event, here. As with the event, little has changed. This year she embraced the style by wearing the dress with loose curly hair, ruby earrings, a golden Orit Elhanti necklace, a Cartier bracelet and diamond rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Perfectly, both clutch and pumps matched the floor-length gown. The clutch is from Hugo Boss and the pumps Gianvito Rossi. I am pretty sure the ruby earrings were worn with a dark, drop pendant. Something I do not think we have seen before. Could be similar to this pendant, here. Anything special you noticed about yesterdays outfit? I did. I noticed beautiful decorations on the shoulder. Those we haven't seen before, because last time it was only worn with the cape.

New Year's banquet

Monday, January 1st



We have now welcomed a new year with friends and family. On January 1st it was time for the Danish royal family to celebrated the beginning of a new year with a banquet. The biggest and finest celebration of them all. Three dinners take place during the first week of January. The New Year banquet took place at Amalienborg palace in Copenhagen, at 7:30 pm. local time. Representatives from the Danish Parliament and members of business in Denmark were invited to attend the banquet. All arrived before the royal family, beautifully dressed in gala dresses and uniforms. Shortly before 7:30 Prince Joachim and Princess Marie arrived, followed by the Crown Prince couple and last the Queen -who attended the banquet on her own for the first time. They all seemed to look forward to a prestigious evening. Pictures have been shared of the beautifully decorated room where the dinner was taking place, here. With such location, any evening would be splendid.


For an evening like this, my eye are on the royal women's dresses. Can't help myself. I'm all excited. Same thing every year. I'm glued to the television not to miss a single detail. As always, all three women were magnificent in each their personal gown. Princess Marie impressed the world in an ivory, embellished gown. I have been told her dress is a reuse. The same goes with Queen Margrethe's dark green, lace gown and emerald green parure. And then Crown Prince Frederik and his wife Crown Princess Mary arrived. She stepped out of the car wearing a brand new, bright red evening gown. For once in my life I was right to way she would wear a new dress. I'm always wrong. Not this time. Mary really dazzled like a Hollywood star wearing a custom-made gown by Søren Le Schmidt. It has been confirmed. Her new dress features the most incredible, yet minimalistic, details. Just take a look at the neckline. I'm truly amazed by its almost sculptured shape. Can I hear you first thoughts? She had chosen to wear the ruby parure, a silver clutch from J. Furmani and red satin pumps. Personally, I am pretty sure she was wearing new pumps from Gianvito Rossi. But it could also be a reused pair from Rupert Sanderson. Let me now what you think.

'The Nutcracker'

Friday, December 1st

Though this happened about fourteen days ago, I thought you might still wanna know about it. 

On December 1st, the Crown Prince family enjoyed the evening together by visiting the theater. They joined the premiere of The Nutcracker at the Royal Theater in Copenhagen. The Nutcracker is a classic Christmas ballet that goes perfectly for families -like the Crown Prince couple. The wonderful story is actually written in 1816 by E.T. A. Hoffmann, here. Unfortunately, I never watched a ballet before but that is going to happen one day. More than once. We know about this visit because of a Danish magazine, who captured the family's evening, here.
