Day 3. Official visit to Brazil

04 October 2024

Meeting with Brazil's President

In the morning, Queen Mary attended a meeting with Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva at the Presidential palace Palácio do Planalto. Danish Minister of Climate, Energy and Supplies Lars Aagaard accompanied her at the meeting.

Queen Mary and Minister Lars Aagaard will spend the next two days in Brasília.

Do you feel like we have seen this outfit before? You are right. Mary wore a similar outfit in 2016 when on a business promotion visit in the United States and in 2023 visiting India. The dress is truly beautiful. The simple silhouette and the elegant floral print. What is not to like? Love to see this dress again.

She even styled the Vilshenko beauty with the same custom-made Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings as in 2016 and 2023. These earrings comes with a number of different pendants. Rose Quartz, Amethyst, diamonds. We also get a glimpse of a magnificent Dulong Fine Jewelry ring and sweet Halberstadt necklace.

A closer look revealed that she also styled her look with a Max Mara leather handbag and matching dusty rose Gianvito Rossi sling-backs.

A school visit and a visit to Embrapa Cerrados

After her meeting the President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Queen Mary paid a visit to a public school in Brasília. She was, once again, accompanied by Lars Aagaard - Danish Minster of Climate, Energy and Supply. They were given knowledge about the schools school food program.

The traveling partners then visited Embrapa Cerrados which is an agricultural research institute in the Cerrado of the savanna area. The Embrapa Cerrados work with  challenges and opportunities in relation to agriculture's impact on biodiversity and the environment in Brazil.

What a lovely outfit! I am pleased to see her wear that Stella Jean dress again. Always adored its silhouette and dusty blue colour. She made a wonderful choice with the braided Zimmermann belt. First worn at the Olympic Games in August. Works beautifully with a dress as well. Do you favor it worn with trousers or dress?

The brown Michel Vivien sandals were also a magnificent addition to her outfit! Later on, she changed to white Adidas sneakers. Like how it turned out both casual yet super chic. Perfect for a visit in Brazil in October. As jewellery, Mary was wearing golden Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings and a custom-made ring. The fine Halberstadt necklace and Rebekka Notkin bracelet were the cherry on the ice cream.

We haven't seen her wear the Dolce & Gabbana sunglasses for quite a while - I'm thrilled. Thrilled to see other sunglasses then her blue Gucci shapes. Her hat is from Canopy Bay by Deborah Hutton.

Mary. You look like a shining star. A true Queen in that Diane von Furstenberg halterneck and skirt. The colours are smashing to her fair skin and chestnut hair. It is indeed a blouse and skirt even though it looks like a dress. Even more because of the red crystal belt from Dolce & Gabbana. She has both worn clothes and belt before.

She embraced the outfit with exclusive Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings, bracelet and ring. All three pieces are custom-made by the talented Danish jewellery designer. We also get a glimpse of a beloved Rebekka Notkin bangle featuring beautiful diamonds.

The brand new Reiss clutch made the look way more dinner-worthy. Such as the stunning golden Aquazzura heeled sandals also worn a couple of days earlier.

Day 2. Official visit to Brazil

03 October 2024

Queen Mary is currently on official visit in Brazil and is accompanied by Danish Minister of Climate, Energy and Supply Lars Aagaard. She arrived yesterday to the Amazon region.

On Thursday, she started her second day in Brazil by visiting INPA - the national research center for the Amazon forest. The research center has made a significant research of the physical environment and living conditions in the region.

Queen Mary then visited CBA - Center for Bio-economy in the Amazon Forest. The center was founded in Manaus in 2002. It work to promote the sustainable development of the region of Amazon.

She ended her second day in Manaus with lunch at a local restaurant. A lunch made with products from the Amazon forest eaten by the locals on a daily basis. And yes, she was served ants (🙊). 

Mary looked so beautiful in her summery Sandro dress. I really like how light this dress is and the print is so fine and delicate. She was the dress just a couple of months ago when hosting a meeting with the Mary Foundation in August. Perfect for a casual meeting and an official visit abroad.

I love how Mary styled her outfit with reused costume-made Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings. Adored them for years. The splash of colours are wonderful. She first wore them in 2007 when spending a day in LegoLand. A very unofficial event. The golden ring is also a Dulong Fine Jewelry creation. Rebekka Notkin crafted the golden bangle and Halberstadt made the diamond necklace.

She matched her stunning dress and sparkly jewellery with chic brown leather sandals from Gianvito Rossi also worn visiting Fiji in April 2023 and in Zanzibar in November 2022.

Day 1. Official visit to Brazil

02 October 2024

A visit at the Amazon region

Queen Mary will be on official vist to Brazil from October 2-5th along with Danish Minister of Climate, Energy and Supply Lars Aagaard. The visit is to focus on the Danish-Brazilian cooperation on biodiversity, combating violence against women and health. She will be staying in Manaus the first two days of her visit.

When first arriving on October 2nd, the Queen joined a boatride on the Amazon river. The ride was guided to informe her about the regions challenges and possible solutions to combat environmental crime. Denmark has previously supported the Amazon Foundation, which fight against these environmental crimes and to promote a sustainable development for the rainforest.

Later on, the Queen visited reserve of Adolpho Ducke followed by a visit at MUSA - the Amazon Museum, which is located inside the Adolpho Ducke reserve. She got a close glimpse of the rainforest from the museum's 42 meters high tower.

What we have all been waiting for: Mary has arrived in Brazil where she will be staying next four days. When sailing the Amazon river and later visiting MUSA - the Amazon Museum, she looked great in a practical outfit. She matched a brand new Columbia button-down with Deerhunter trousers and a brown leather belt.

The Arc'Teryx boots were a perfect choice for a visit at the Amazon river - and the surrounding rain forest. Mary has worn the boots quite a few times about now. Also with a certain grace. In the same dark blue color, she added Gucci sunglasses to the outfit.

Her fine diamond earrings are creations by Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen such as the fine ring. In a way, her husband joined her on her travel because of the Halberstadt necklace.

Official welcoming

In the evening, Queen Mary was officially welcomed by the Gouverner of Amazon Wilson Lima. 

As part of the welcoming ceremony she was invited to attend a performance at at Teatro Amazonas - a teatre and opera house in the center of Manaus. The performance presented the the cultural history of the Amazon region.

I am nothing less than IMPRESSED! Lost my breath for a moment. Just look at that outfit. Sight! I am in love with every single part of her outfit from the welcoming at Teatro Amazonas. Mary was seen wearing a stunning bright Jesper Høvring blouse and a chick green maxi skirt. She first wore the skirt on August 21st when hosting a reception on board Dannebrog docked in Assens. I has yet to be found. Any ideas?

She styled the outfit with large golden earrings - a traditional Portuguese jewellery. This is the seventh time she wears them. First time was when attending a dinner on occasion of the Copenhagen Fashion Summit in 2014. A lovely match with the Halberstadt necklace, golden Aquazzura sandals and brand new yellow satin clutch from Prada. I am in LOVE.

Opening of the Parliament 2024

01 October 2024

Princess Benedikte accompanied King Frederik and Queen Mary at the annual opening of the Parliament. The three of them were warmly welcomed by Parliament's presidum and of course Søren Gade - Chairman of the Parliament.

The annual opening ceremony at Christiansborg Castle in Copenhagen marks the begning of a new year for the Danish politicians and the Parliament. The opening always takes place on the first Tuesday in October.

King Frederik, Queen Mary and Princess Benedikte watched the official opening from the royal balcony in the great Parliament Hall. Amongst speakers was Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen.

Love that both Mary and Benedikte had the same though about wearing soft blue at the opening. Mary was dressed in a lovely reused coat tailored by Cleas Iversen along with a creamy white lace dress. Do you remember she also wore the coat at the opening in 2022? I think it could be an old Heartmade dress but I can't tell for sure.

Mary had chosen beige suede accessories: a beloved BOSS clutch, beautiful (new?) matching gloves and stunning pointed pumps from Gianvito Rossi. Kinda like this color-combo. Blue and beige. Very elegant. Looks like she added a splash of soft purple on her nails. I like that too.

What is an outfit without jewellery? Not much. Mary wore her amazing Halberstadt necklace with an Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen diamond ring. Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen is also the creator of her SMASHING golden leaf brooch. What a masterpiece!
