The Carlsberg Foundations Research Awards 2018

September, Sunday 2nd

What a pleasure it was to follow the French Presidential couples visit in Denmark. Both the Crown Princes couple, the Queen and the rest of the Danish royal family seemed to enjoy this state visit very much. If you missed anything from the couples two days in Denmark, then you can find much more, here and here.

Crown Princess Mary is back at work. On Sunday around dinner time she arrived to Glyptoteket in Copenhagen. She was about to present 'the Carlsberg Foundations Research Awards 2018'. With each award comes one million Danish kroner - DKK 750,000 are for research related activities; the rest are a personal reward to the winners themselves. For more than five years the Crown Princess has handed over the prestige awards, here, here, here, here, here. 'The Carlsberg Foundations Research Award' was first handed over in 2011, but I am not quite sure if the Crown Princess attended the first two years.

On stage she was this year accompanied by Minister of Research, Tommy Ahlers and CEO of the Carlsberg Foundation, Flemming Besenbacher. With a great smile on her face, she presented the two winners of the research award 2018 Professor Tim Bollerslev and Professor Poul Nissen. Congratulations to both of them with the award and honoring. The ceremony was followed by a dinner in which the Crown Princess also attended.

Each time we get to see Mary at this very special event; we also get to see some pretty amazing outfits which is why I had high exceptions. Something I rarely have. At the moment I can't tell if I am positively surprised or a bit disappointed. I had expected something completely else than this black dress. A black dress would do great for the event - maybe not just this dress. Actually I thought it would take much longer to identify this dress. Then yesterday it was found by one of you at Adam Lippes. He is a new designer to me. Neither do I think Mary has worn any of his designs before. Interesting to see if she will wear his creations again. So, tell me what you think about her new dress. Is the fringe a quality detail or way too much?

So the dress features a hemline of fringes. It is belted and has an interesting neckline. Let me know if you have any possible designers in mind. I am struggling.

For the new dress Mary had chosen to embrace the style by wearing cap-toe pointed from from Gianvito Rossi - seen on several different occasions. She also wore one of her old Prada clutches which features a lovely blue colour and embellished stones. It was first seen at the royal wedding of Prince Albert and Charlene Wittstock in Monaco, here. Do you remember it? Somehow I completely forgot about this clutch.

Other than Rossi pumps and a Prada clutch she was wearing diamond earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry, a few bracelets from among others Cartier and Annikat. And a brand new necklace. A reader suggested Tiffany (collection: Paper Flowers) as creator and from their response I no longer wonder about it's identity. But tell me what you think.
