Day 5. Official State Visit to Australia


March 18th, 2026

Royal Business Walk & A business conference

King Frederik and Queen Mary attended the Royal Business Walk with companies from delegations of Green Buildings and Renewable Energy along with a number of Australian collaborators. Then followed the official opening of "Partnering for a Green, Secure, and Sustainable Tomorrow".

For their "walk", Mary looked stunning in a black and white outfit. The Carla Zampatti skirt is so simple, yet the detailing are exquisite! Can't wait to see how she is going to style it in the future. At the Royal Business Walk, she paired it with a plain white Jesper Høvring blouse. The golden Rebekka Notkin jewellery are a great choice. Gives a little sparkle to a rather sleek look. Not quite sure I would have chosen python pumps (Gianvito Rossi) with this outfit, but I like the idea of mixing-and-matching. Her exclusive leather handbag is from Anya Hindmarch.

Later on, the royal couple visited Melbourne Children's Campus. They were given an introduction to a research project made in collaboration between Denmark and Australia on stem cells. Researcher's from the project had the opportunity to meet the couple and give insight in their research.

Visit at Headspace South Melbourne

Having visited the Melbourne Children's Campus, she had a quick change of clothes. When visiting Headspace South Melbourne, Mary was then dressed in white trousers, a Harris Wharf London blouse and blue blazer. Nothing bad about blazer but I'd really like to see anything else than blazers. She had worn them A LOT lately. She accessorized the look with cool Georgio Armani sunglasses and suede Gianvito Rossi pumps.

At the grand opening of artists Rhoda Ting and Mikkel Bojesen's art exhibition, we got a clear view of her wearing earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry, her golden Cartier watch and rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. She also flashed bracelets from Dulong Fine Jewelry and Rebekka Notkin.

Return reception: "An Evening in the Garden"

In the evening, the King and Queen hosted a return reception at the Royal Botanical Garden in Melbourne. The evening was hosted under the name "An Evening in the Garden".

The coupled welcomed all the invited guests with smiles, handshakes and a few words. Afterwards, when everyone were seated each of them gave a speech.

Once again, Mary changed outfit to something a bit more evening-appropriate. Her beautiful dress is a reuse from Zimmermann. She wore it, among others, at Count Henrik's confirmation in 2023. She matched the elegant dress with dusty pink Gianvito Rossi pumps and an embellished Serpui Charlotte clutch. Her earrings are custom-made pieces from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. I suspect her new ring may be from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen as well. My guess is that it is a custom-made ring inspired by their snake collection. Let me know what you think.

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 2017Indonesia in 2019Norway in 2022Fiji 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?

Hello Everyone!

It's not secret that I'm awfully behind writing about the Queen and her whereabouts. As some of you know, I started my masters degree and lately time hasn't been on my side. 

I'd like to know if you're interested in shorter versions of blog posts? - some information about the event, photos and simple references to what she's wearing. Then I'd many be able to catch up, ha ha. Or are you willing to wait a bit longer?

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!
