Presentation of: Christmas seal 2018

Monday, October 29th

Before we welcomed November the Crown Princess has one event left to attend. On Monday she attended as patron of Christmas Seal Foundation the presentation of this year's Christmas seal. The Christmas Seal Foundation has presented a new seal every year since 1904. The money goes to the Christmas Seal Home, who help children to get track on a healthy lifestyle and create new friends.

Crown Princess Mary was in a splendid mood, such as all the participating children. They simply loved her. Crown Princess Mary was especially adored by a girl, who couldn't help herself from giving the Crown Princess a huge hug. Somehow that does not happen very often. I am sure I would not dare to do it myself.

The grand presentation took place at City Hall in Copenhagen. Crown Princess Mary was joined by the artist Peter Madsen on stage when she was to reveal the seals. Peter Madsen created this years beautiful Christmas Seals. I just love this tradition.




I was quite surprised to see what dress Mary was wearing at the presentation. We have not seen it for a very long time. Still I am sure you remember it very well. This red wonder is a creation from Hugo Boss - a BOSS collection if I am right. Last year she wore something a bit more dark in colour, here. Not as bright at this year. You almost get happy when looking at her red look.

What Mary did is so clever. She matched her red Hugo Boss dress with nude accessories. We have seen her wear this combo many times before. Like here in 2012. I even think it is the same nude snake skin belt she is wearing. As in 2012 Mary embraced the style of her red dress with a nude Naledi Copenhagen clutch and matching pumps. At the presentation at the City Hall in Copenhagen, she wore pointed Prada pumps as at the presentation of Magasin du Nord Fashion Prize 2018, here.

As jewellery she had chosen golden pieces. Earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry, bracelets from both Cartier and Ole Lynggaard. What a treat. I am absolutely stunned by her outfit. Works perfectly well with the occasion.

Update: I mentioned a creation by Bøgelund-Jensen in my first edition of this post. Apparently, some has misinterpreted this. The two dresses are similar in style, but that's it. To be clear, Crown Princess Mary is not wearing a Bøgelund-Jensen dress.

Magasin du Nord Fashion Prize 2018

Thursday, October 25th

The Crown Princess is indeed a busy lady these days. She both visited DR Girls Choir, here, presented this years Children's U-Country Calendar, here, and attended an evening event at Christiansborg Castle, here. She also spoke at a founds conference at PwC in Hellerup, here.

Thursday evening the Crown Princess arrived to the Art Hall Charlottenborg in Copenhagen to attend the presentation of Magazine du Nord Fashion Prize 2018. She was also present at the event last year, here. It was that event where she wore the same Britt Sisseck dress as her friend Nina Wedell-Wedellsborg. This year, such thing did not happen.

To win the Magasin du Nord Fashion Prize, you have had to make at least one ready-to-wear kollektion - but not more than six.

As part of the evening the Crown Princess was to present the winner of the honorary award, DKK 500,000 and a fashion show at Copenhagen Fashion Week. What a prize to win. This years winner is designer Emilie Helmstedt. Congratulations to Emilie Helmstedt with the very fine acknowledgement.

During her visit she also had the change to meet and speak with the other nominees.




Mary was a bit more silent in colour than the winners collection. Emilie Helmstedt has a very playful and creative way of creating clothes. Mary, on the other hand, had chosen something a bit more simple. She wore a brand new bordeaux lace dress. Seems like it took me a bit more time to identify her bordeaux dress as first anticipated. Thanks to two of you the dress has now been found at DAY Birger et Mikkelsen. Quite a long time since we last saw Mary wear something from one of their collections. Kinda missed their designs. And this is one good looking dress.

As her new dress, she was wearing a brand new coat. I have come to love this piece very much. Looks great on its own, but also next to the lace dress. Am I right? With help from Else Marie I am now able to share with you its identify. Marys new coat has been found at Julie Fagerholt Heartmade. One pretty piece for this time a year.

She embraced the chic evening style by wearing golden bracelets from both Dulong Fine Jewelry, Cartier and a chain piece from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Gold and bordeaux are just a great match. Somehow I was sure she wore pendant earrings as well and she did. Mary wore a pair of reused earrings from Jewlcph.

Mary matched her outfit with nude Prada pumps and some pretty amazing soft curls.

Conference at PwC

Thursday, October 25th

Before attending the big presentation of a fashion award later in the evening, the Crown Princess arrived to Hellerup. She was about to attend a conference for foundations at PwC - one of the world's largest audit- and consulting companies. The Crown Princess participated as Chairwoman of the Mary Foundation. The embedded post was posted by the Mary Foundation on occasion of Crown Princess Mary's participation in the conference.

The conference aimed to focus on a funds role in the community. How and why fund's are important. Ideas and experiences were shared by leading heads of foundations - among others, the Mary Foundation. The Crown Princess once entered the stage and spoke about the Mary Foundations goals, values and foundation to work. In her speech she also encouraged all the other attendances to create dialogue, world together and collaborate with others.

According to PwC, the funds conference was directed to CEO, CFO, boards members and other leaders of foundation's in Denmark.




Attending the big conference in Hellerup Mary was dressed in some lovely colours. At the arrival she showed us her grey wool coat from JOSEPH. For years she has shown us how to wear a grey coat like this with elegance. I still love the way she wears it over her shoulders. Looks great, right? Maybe not the best idea at the moment, because it was a very windy day. But as usual, Mary made it work.

At the conference hall we got a look at what else she had chosen to wear. All bordeaux. A wonderful colour to wear this time a year. The blouse is a Jesper Høvring design, worn at a couple of occasions before this one. The skirt I think we have seen before, but at the moment I can't recall when. Do you remember when this skirt was else worn? Great to see to different pieces, match this perfectly in colour.

Mary then embraced the style by wearing reused suede pumps from Prada. The pumps features both a black and bordeaux colour. At first I was not fan about this combo, but after all it looks good. As jewellery she matched her outfit with golden bracelets from both Cartier and Dulong Fine Jewelry. I was not sure about her ring. Now I realized that she is in fact wearing three rings - two from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and one from Dulong Fine Jewelry.

Carlend Copenhagen is the designer of her black croco clutch. I haven't got a number on how many times we have seen this clutch, but I found a few examples, here, here, here, here.

Evening event at Christiansborg Castle

Wednesday, October 24th

It was a big night last on Wednesday when the Queen hosted an evening event at Christiansborg Castle in Copenhagen. The event was held for the Danish Government, Parliament and Danish members of The European Parliament - among others.

Crown Princess Mary, Prince Joachim, Princess Marie and Princess Benedikte jointed Queen Margrethe at Christiansborg Castle. All five members of the royal family were in a great spirit at the arrival, such as during the evening. Especially the Crown Princess and Queen Margrethe seemed to really enjoy themselves.

The evening event takes place once within each parliamentary term (which means, within a periode of four years). It is about that time now. All attending guests were invited to dinner and a little bit of fun - the royal way. A Danish comedian entertained and Sopran Signe Sneh Durholm shared her musical world with the guests. Wonderful how it is possible to make it a great night with two such different artists. Is that possible where you live?

An hour before midnight the Queen entered the dance floor for everybody. Of course les lanciers was chosen - it is the Queen's favourite dance. And where else to dance les lanciers then in the rooms of the Banquet Hall?

Many videos and lots of photos have been shared on both social media accounts and at the royal family's website. Gives the impression that many closely followed the evening from near and far. It also shows us what a great evening it was.




Finally an event that takes a real evening gown. I had not idea what to expect from any of them. I was a little surprised to learn that both Princess Marie, Princess Benedikte and Mary wore similar midnight blue gowns. But all three of them looks stunning in each their dress. Personally I love the gown Princess Benedikte wore. Very suitable for her age, figure and event. Queen Margrethe amazed both guests and followers around the world with her magnificent colourful gown. Getting 70 seems no age, taking the Queen as rolemodel. I will leave the rest of the commenting to you.

Luckily Mary showed up in a reused Jesper Høvring (collection: Fall 2014) gown. Luckily, because I haven't been that easy with finding things lately. So a reused dress makes it much easier for me. It is the second time she wears it like this. First it was worn at the BAMBI Charity Award in 2014, here. Two years later she dazzled wearing the dress as a skirt at New Years eve, here. I kinda missed it with the matching blouse. Now it is back.

She embraced the evening style by wearing her wedding tiara featuring diamonds, a matching bracelet and a huge aquamarine blue ring. I am sure you noticed the earrings as well. Do you remember them? They were first worn in 2017 at the birthday celebration of King Harald and Queen Sonja, here. The earrings were found sold on a Bruun Rasmussen auction, here (page 254-255). Matching the rest of her outfit, Mary wore a blue satin clutch from Prada and Gianvito Rossi pumps. Also take a note of her incredible hairstyle.
