Day 4. Official State Visit to Australia

March 17th, 2026

Official welcoming at Government House Victoria

Imagine how many countries those Gianvito Rossi heels have walked? To mention just a few: Belgium in 2017, Indonesia in 2019, Norway in 2022, Fiji in 2023, and Nigeria in 2025. Today, the pumps spend a day in Melbourne.

The royal couple was welcomed by Victoria's governor Margaret and Professor Glyn Davis at Government House Victoria. They also enjoyed lunch at the government house with representatives from Danish and Australian businesses.

Apparently, red is a popular color for women to wear in Victoria. The color popped up on trousers, blouses, on the inside of coats, and of course, Mary's stunning dress. It was custom-made by tailor Birgit Hallstein. She styled it with stunning white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and other golden goodies from Rebekka Notkin. We also had the pleasure of her brown leather handbag from Anya Hindmarch.

After lunch, the couple went for a little city walk in Prahran. The area is newly rebuilt with focus on sustainability. King Frederik and Queen Mary were presented to some of the new sustainable houses and projects to come. The Queen also shared their experiences with sustainable solutions when creating the annex at Fredensborg castle.

Visiting Port of Melbourne & Melbourne Cricket Ground

After a quick change to a more casual outfit, the royal couple visited the Port of Melbourne. They were given a guided tour around the facilities and given insight in the harbor's work with green transition and development of sustainable solutions in the maritime sector.

Later on, the King and Queen paid a visit to Melbourne Cricket Ground. They attended the Australian Football League. Queen Mary participated a few exercises herself. The event focuses on a common culture of sports between Denmark and Australia.

Maybe not the most suitable outfit for a real session of Australian football, but way more suited than her bespoke dress. When participating exercises at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Mary looked fine in (new?) wide-legged trousers, a plain white t-shirt and a Max Mara blazer. I do like a good old blazer but I miss outfits without an added blazer. Am I the only one?

Both NIKE sneakers and Gucci sunglasses were a great choice for the event. Her diamond Sophie Bille Brahe earrings and other golden jewellery from Rebekka Notkin are beautiful with the casual look.

Day 3. Official State Visit to Australia

March 16th, 2026

The Australian War Memorial in Canberra

The King and Queen have arrived in Canberra where they first spend their day planting two trees at the Government House. Her new navy blue Carolina Herrera dress wasn't really the best of choices for the occasion planting tress - nor the Gianvito Rossi pumps, but with their next visit in mind, it was perfect. Because later on, the couple visited the Australian War Memorial. 

They paid their respect with a minute in silence and a beautiful wreath to those lost in battle and those fighting out in the world since World War one.

Mary looked really elegant in her new dress and custom-made Katrin Cecilia Jacobsen headpiece. A beautiful piece. The Connaught Sapphire brooch goes back to the year when Crown Prince Christian was christened. Mary received it as a gift from Queen Margrethe on occasion of her first child's birth and christening. It has been worn by Queen Margrethe and Queen Ingrid.

Meeting the Prime Minister

During their day in Canberra, the King and Queen also attended a meeting with the Denmark-Australia Parliamentary Friendship Group. They were given the opportunity to meet a number of members of the parliamentary friendship group. The members represent each their Australian states and territories.

I wanna say that Mary's creamy white/soft pink Max Mara suit was more than appropriate, but I would have liked to see something else. She has become very fond of suits and "hiding" in oversize blazers. I don't see the need of that. Nevertheless, I adore her matching blazer and suede Gianvito Rossi pumps. And the Max Mara leather bag is too a winner.

King Frederik and Queen Mary then attended the official opening of the Danish-Australian Life Science-Conference. It gathered Governments, companies and different research institutions working with innovation, prevention and healthcare solutions.

Dinner with the Prime Minister

It was not part of the officially published plan for the state visit but in the evening the couple attended a dinner hosted by the Prime Minister.

I have only been able to find one photo from the dinner posted by the Prime Minister himself welcoming the royal couple. It shows that Mary dazzled in a reused Etro dress and heeled sandals from Gianvito Rossi. Haven't we seen the earrings before?

You probably already have favourite blogs and accounts you like to follow but I'd like to share a few of mine for you to find the latests updates.

Stay safe and have fund!

Day 2. Official State Visit to Australia

March 15, 2026

Sunset over Uluṟu

The royal couple started their day by visiting Muṯitjulu Waterhole in Uluṟu to watch the beautiful sunset. A personal guide shared the experience with King Frederik and Queen Mary while sharing informations and stories from the area.

In the morning hours the couple looked liked any other tourists admiring the sunset. The King flashed an army printed hat, hiking boots and a back pack with (supposedly) supplies for the walk. His wife matched his style with perfection: a messy knot in a cap, linen shorts and practical walking boots.

I love their "undercover" outfits!

Arriving in Canberra

King Frederik and Queen Mary then arrived in Canberra. They were warmly welcomed at the Government House by Sam Mostyn, the Governor-General of Australia and spouse Simeon Beckett. As part of the welcoming, the couple participated a traditional some ceremony.

I was in love with the couple when they visited the Muṯitjulu Waterhole in Uluṟu. They blended in like it was the most easy thing in the world - if it wasn't for the many photographers and journalists...

When arriving in Canberra, Mary had changed to one of her stunning floral printed dressed in Zimmermann. It is not my favorite dress though I adore the bright color! Because of the smashing color and I think it is great that she chose rather neutral Gianvito Rossi pumps.

Like the woman performing the smoke ceremony, Mary was too beautifully bejewelled wearing jewellery from both Rebekka Notkin, Orit Elhanati, Dulong Fine Jewelry and Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. Some of the finest jewellery designers were have in Denmark.

Official welcoming ceremony in Canberra

King Frederik and Queen Mary were also welcomed in Canberra with at an official ceremony at the Government House. The gathering were hosted by the Governor-General of Australia Sam Mostyn and her spouse Simeon Beckett.

A second welcoming ment a second (or third) outfit suited for the occasion. Mary had chosen a brand new floral printed set from Claes Iversen. It's a couture design from 2016 which tells us that fashion never goes out of style.

The weather was wonderful. Warm and sunny. Mary's color-palette was really well-chosen. The dusty blue head piece matched both the reused LIN8 clutch and the blue sky. Her summery look was topped of with beige pointed leather from Prada.

Gala dinner at the Government House

It has already been a fantastic day. We are so spoiled. Just look at all those incredible outfits. Can it get any better? Apparently, yes. 

In the evening, the Governor-General of Australia Sam Mostyn and spouse Simeon Beckett hosted a gala dinner at the Government House in honor of the King and Queen's visit. Both King Frederik and Sam Mostyn gave a speech at the dinner.

Mary truly looked like a star on a starry night. Her amazing evening gown is a reused and altered Jesper Høvring creation. It goes back to the wedding of Crown Princess Victoria and Daniel Westling in 2010. I am truly a fan of the original design but I the added golden top/sleeve. Makes it even more glamorous.

Like it wasn't enough: she wore stunning jewellery from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and a fine bracelet that once belonged to Crown Princess Lovisa.
