Dinner for the Army Badge of Honor

26 September

What a night. Crown Princess Mary was invited to attend a very special dinner at Fredensborg hosted by her mother-in-law, Queen Margrethe. The Army Badge of Honor dinner is to honor and reward those form the made an extraordinary serviced in the Danish army. Guest from the Army, Navy and the Air Force were invited to the prestiges dinner.

The Army Badge of Honor medal is given to people, who served the army for 25 years. It was first given in 1945 on King Christian X's birthday and has been an annual tradition since then, but the dinner only takes place every third year.

We got a short glimpse of the Crown Princess, when she arrived to Fredensborg to attend the dinner for the Army Badge of Honor. She was just smiles and looked liked she was looking forward to spend an evening with good food, good company and maybe some good music.

As said, we only got a short and little glimpse of Mary at the arrival to Fredensborg. Nevertheless, that was just enough to see what she was wearing. Due to who was invited, Mary had chosen to wear a very special gown. The Armed Forces' uniform for women. It was designed a few of years ago. At that time, Mary also wore it for the first time, when attending the previous Army Badge of Honoray dinner (here). The dress (or uniform) is indeed beautiful. Just look at the silhouette, the neckline and the blazer-like-jacket.

Mary embraced the style by wearing two sets of earrings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. The mixed and matched two pairs of earrings and pendants. One golden and one silver. What a clever detail, don't you think? I like it. She also wore some golden rings. Her one ring is from I'm Jewel and the other one is a rather new ring from Dulong Fine Jewelry. The black clutch is a reuse, as I think her black pointed pumps are, but I have never been able to identify it.

I love that she is finally having these amazing hairstyles again. Her hair is really long and stunning, and it takes updo's as these. I love it!
