Day 1. Official state visit in France


31 March 2025

King Frederik and Queen Mary have arrived in Paris, France to attend a three-days official state visit.

The couple arrived at the Paris-Orly Airport and were then welcomed by the France Presidential Couple at the Court d'Honneur at Hôtel National des Invalide - also known as Les Invalides.

They were escorted from Les Invalides to the Élysée Pakace for the official welcoming ceremony. The Danish business delegation accompanied the King and Queen.

Danish Minister of Foreign Affairs Lars Løkke Rasmussen, Minister of Defense Troels Lund Poulsen and the Danish Ambassador in France and Monaco Hanne Fugl Eskjær also attend the visit.



NO outfit will ever surpass this outfit! Nothing. I have many favorite outfits but her outfit at the arrival in Paris earlier today will surpass all of them. Probably also in the future. Mary's new Christian Dior set is marvelous! The style of it is so 1950's. I adore it.

It dosen't end with that because Mary perfectly matched the style with a reused black Jane Taylor hat and smashing sky-high Gianvito Rossi pumps. Not quite sure I would have chosen those heels but it looks great. The Mulberry handbag was such a clever move.

I am sure you noticed her choice in jewellery as well. The stunning white pearl earrings and the matching brooch are both pieces part of the Danish Pearl Poiré Parure. The elegant ring is a custom-made creation from Dulong Fine Jewelry.

Banquet at the Élysée Palace

President Macron and his wife Brigitte hosted a banquet at the Élysée Palace with King Frederik and Queen Mary as guests of honor. Both the France President and King Frederik gave a speech at the dinner.



We are treated like King's and Queen's at this state visit. Mary's shows all the best of her style. 1950's inspired Dior suits and now this! Her beautiful new blouse has been found at CLEA - a brand new designer in her wardrobe. Mary styled it with a smashing floral silk skirt from Lasse Spangenberg Copenhagen. Imagine your design worn at an event like this?! Must be such an honor.

She embraced the outfit with huge golden diamond earrings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen designed by Charlotte Lynggaard - daughter of Lynggaard's founder, Ole Lynggaard. The blue Aquamarine ring goes way back in time but has never been identified. Maybe from an auction?

Her amazing pearl embroidered clutch is from Anya Hindmarch and the fine beige satin pumps are from Gianvito Rossi.

Weekly meeting with the Mary Foundation


28 March 2025

Queen Mary attended a weekly meeting with the Mary Foundation. On the agenda with the foundation's "Free of Bullying" project. The main reason for the discussion about this specific project is because the Queen will visit the school Ecole maternelle Dussoubs in Paris within the next week.

The visit takes place in relation to the couple's forthcoming state visit in France.

18 Parisian school's have been testing the project under the name "Vivre Ensemble" since 2022. Now the program will be part of school's all over France.



Mary looked sweet and all natural at the weekly meeting on March 28th. She was dressed in a simple black blouse (possibly new) and her Tom Ford glasses. Guess she could have been wearing black trousres as well or maybe grey. What is not to like.

Opening of the "Our Quality of Life" conference


20 March 2025

Queen Mary attended the opening of the "Our Quality of Life" conference hosted by Realdania. The conference took place on the International Day of Happiness.

The Queen was warmly welcomed by Chairman of Realdania Lars Krarup and CEO of Realdania Jesper Nygård when she arrived at Lokomotivværkstedet in Copenhagen.

She was given the honor of addressing to opening speech.

What is quality of life and can we build for it? The importance of the physical environment for our relationships and communities was discussed at the conference. Realdania also launched the largest study of quality of life in Denmark to date.



Never thought this Prada dress would look this good with black tights but I am truly impressed how well it matches. Actually I like it even more with black tights than without. What was your first thought? The dress is a reuse that goes back to 2015 when she attended 3rd World Conference on Women's Shelters in the Netherlands.

At the conference with Realdania Mary had chosen to accessorize the elegant dress with the most stunning white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a matching bracelet and ring (same designer). She also wore a reused golden bangle from Rebekka Notkin and a third one. A NEW ONE. It is also from Rebekka Notkin. So delicate.

Mary's chic glasses are old ones from Tom Ford. Looked great that she had chosen her beloved black leather clutch from Quidam and new midi heels from Gianvito Rossi. Made the outfit look polished and beautiful

Visit at Pilehave school


17 March 2025

On Monday Queen Mary visited Pivehave school in Vallensbæk along with the Mary Foundation. The visit took place to hear about the their work with the Skolestyrken project.

"Skolestyrken" aims to promote better well-being amongst young people when going to school and to fight bullying. The initiative is a collaboration between the Mary Foundation, Børns Vilkår and Save the Children. It was founded in 2016.



I love a good suit but I'm not that crazy about these oversize jackets. Too much 1980s. What I like about this set is the checkered pattern and its soft brown color. Like that she had chosen to wear it with a brown turtleneck. Makes a great match. She first wore the trousers when visiting Greenland in July 2024 and a couple of days later she wore it with the matching blazer.

Mary styled the suit with simple golden Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings and a custom-made Dulong Fine Jewelry ring. The Celine belt was a clever choice such as the brown suede ankle boots from Prada.

Not her best outfit but I am in love with the colors.
