We know very little from this event and not much has been published. DCR Dansk Flygtningehjælp posted a single photo on their Twitter account from when she gave her speech, which took place virtually. Apparently, they also made a small interview with Mary on the occasion (see embedded post). This gave us a better clue about what she was wearing for the event.

It showed that Mary had chosen a reused white blouse featuring a lively floral print. It is from Stine Goya. Her stunning brown hair was a great contrast of the white Dulong Fine Jewelry pearl earrings. The video also revealed that she paired the blouse with lighter grey trousers and her magnificent dusty blue Strenesse coat.

Publication of the CeFU-report 2021

22 November

Many people have experience solitude throughout their life. Short periods, but also more persistent. Solitude has been on the Mary Foundation's agenda for many years and especially the last few years as it is one of the consequences of the pandemic. The foundation has especially focused on solitude among young people.

Once again, the Crown Princess, together with the Mary Foundation, attended an event focusing on solitide. She attended the publication of the CeFU-report "Can youth communities hurt?". A report by the Mary Foundation and Center for Ungdomsforskning - CeFU. The event took place at Tårnby Gymnasium in Kastrup.

Crown Princess Mary also gave a speech at the event in Kastrup. She talked about her own experiences with solitude from when her mother passed away in 1997. The Crown Princess also mentioned how she experienced shorter periodes of solitude.

On occasion of the publication a workshops took place. Crown Princess Mary also participated these herself. The workshop was all about finding ways to create healthy young communities. Later the results of the workshop was presented.

Arriving to Tårnby Gymnasium, Mary was warmly dressed in a brand new light grey winter coat. It shows very few details due to the cover of a floral printed Paul Smith scarf. Maybe we get a glimpse of her coat and will then be able to identify it. The lovely scarf goes way back. She first started wearing it in 2011. Like, when she started her travel to Africa in August 2011 (here).

Underneath, she was wearing a simple darker grey blouse from L.K. Bennett. Mary first wore this blouse at the launch of a UN report in 2016 (here). She matched it with a pair of simple black trousers. These kind of trousers are extremely difficult to find and the same goes with these.

Mary embraced her look with quite a few pieces of jewellery. Of course you noticed that magnificent golden necklace and its pendants. It is from talented Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. She also wore diamonds bands from the same designer. One in yellow gold and another one in gold. We also see her beloved Cartier bangle.

It looks like Mary was wearing black suede boots. Ankle boots I guess. They do not look new, but I cannot tell where we have seen them before. Maybe we have not. It is different with the bag. The black leather Bottega Veneta bag much be one of her oldest bags along with a certain Chanel bag (here). The glasses are Gucci.

Annual celebration for the University of Copenhagen 2021

12 November

It was as guest of honor that Crown Princess Mary arrived to the University of Copenhagen to attend their annual celebration. It has been a tradition right from the beginning in 1479. The year the university was founded.

I get the feeling that the atmosphere was almost majestic, when she arrived. It was silent and all eyes were on the Crown Princess.

This year the celebration was all about the founding of the Niels Bohr Institutes 100th anniversary. On that occasion, three prizes were handed over and: the Education Award, the Innovation Award and the Study Environment Award. This year's honorary doctor and doctors were also proclaimed at the annual celebration.

I had no idea what to expect from her for this event. Maybe something a bit more colourful, but I like it. I like how she made a modest honor to colours with the embellished Red Valentino dress. Thanks to UFO No More, we know where her new dress are from. I never been a huge fan of these embellished Peter Pan collars. I do not know if Mary changed my mind, but she looks gorgeous. She styled the dress with a reverse black belt. A really cleaver detail.

Hope to see a better close-up of those golden earrings. In a way, they look new to me, but I could wrong. The same goes with her rather large ring. It could be this one here. Think it is a good choice of her to only wear minimal jewellery for this outfit. This dress has to speak for itself. Nevertheless, the other accessorized complimented her look beautifully.

Somehow, we only have a few photos from the event at the University of Copenhagen and the lighting it not that good in all of them. This makes it a bit difficult to see what colour the Quidam clutch and Jimmy Choo shoes are, but they are in fact blue.

Visiting Vigerslev Allé School

11 November

Meanwhile her husband and mother-in-law are on official visit in Germany, Crown Princess Mary act as head of state. With this prestiges job also comes her own duties.

On Thursday, she then visited Vigerslev Allé School on occasion of one of the Mary Foundation's project called Skolestyrken. It is a program focused on creating well-being and preventing such as dealing with bullying in schools. Skolestyrken launched in late 2020.

It was truly a pleasure watching the Crown Princess arrived to Vigerslev Allé School. All the children wanted a glimpse of her and a photo with her. She is indeed a popular woman. She was accompanied by Helle Østergaard, the Director of the Mary Foundation. The two of them were also welcomed by school principal René Bang Henriksen.

Crown Princess Mary participated one of the exercises herself. A big part of the program is to include the children as much as possible.

The Mary Foundation shared a few photos from her day at Vigerslev Allé School on social media. One of them is embedded below.

Watching her along with all the students, were the best part. Her face lit up like a Christmas tree on Christmas Eve. What a sight. Second best, was her outfit. Mary looked super stylish and was perfectly dressed for both the occasion and time a year. Denmark is indeed cold and rainy at the moment. I get her choice of clothes.

She styled a brand new navy blue turtleneck blouse with a pair of reused grey trousers. I kinda like this combo and wonder why I have never though of it myself. Both blouse and trousers remain unidentified. The black coat is another thing. This goes back quite a few years and is from Prada. She has one similar in white as well.

The stunning golden chain bracelet with the beautiful little pendant are both from talented Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. The other golden bangle is a Cartier creation. I still like the though of it being a gift from her husband due to the name "Love Bracelet". I have never been able to identify her white and yellow diamond studs, but they are lovely. A close look revealed her wearing two Dulong Fine Jewelry rings too.

Mary matched the rest of her outfit with a many years beloved Bottega Veneta leather bag and light grey Prada ankle boots. I really like the color-combo: grey, black, blue and gold. If I was wearing trousers more often, I would try this in an instant!

So, when the two of them has arranged the presentation of Hjerteforeningen's and Børnehjertefondens Research Grants 2021, Crown Princess Mary also attended the event.

It took place at prestiges Hotel d'Angleterre in Copenhagen. For many years, the Crown Princess has taken part in the presentation of the Research Grants honoring promising projects in the field of cardiovascular disease research.

What a beautiful outfit Mary wore at the presentation of Hjerteforeningen's and Børnehjertefondens Research Grants 2021, which took place at Hotel d'Angleterre in Copenhagen. She had chosen one of her old beloved black jackets from WILLOW and a burgundy tweed skirt from Alexander McQueen. A really lovely match to honor autumn.

Mary embraced the look with her golden Cartier bracelet and Sophie Bille Brahe diamond earrings. I have never been that crazy about these earrings, but it seems like Mary is a true fan. She has worn them so many times already and I think she will continue that tendency. The stunning golden leaf brooch is a vintage Emmons brooch. I have a golden leaf brooch myself and they are just great for November-outfits. Do you like wearing brooches? Mary also wore a magnificent oval ring featuring a dark purple stone from Dulong Fine Jewelry. It is unique ring from their Pacific collection (here).

The black Celine belt is also an old goodie. Highly loved by her. Mary master these thin belts with such elegance. It matched her black leather clutch from Quidam and those Gianvito Rossi pumps perfectly.

Hubertus Hunt in Dyrehaven 2021

07 November

The Hubertus Hunt has been an annual event since 1900. It still takes place in Jægersborg Dyrehaven surrounding the Eremitage Castle.

Back in time, the Hubertus hunters were accompanied by dogs hunting foxes for 11 kilometers around the Dyrehaven. On the rid, the riding hunters are challenged by 32 obstacles. The tradition has remained more than 120 years, but now the foxes have been replaced by skilled riders.

This year, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine joined Crown Princess Mary at the Hubertus Hunt 2021. On occasion of the hunt, the Crown Princess handed over Crown Princess Mary's Honorary Award to the winner of the Hubertus Hunt. A tradition both Queen Ingrid and Prince Henrik have had the honor of call theirs. Now, Crown Princess Mary is next in line after her father-in-law.

I love that Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine accompanied their mother at this years Hubertus Hunt in Jægersborg Dyrehave. Both twins were comfortably and warm dressed for the occasion. Just like their mother was. Mary stunned in a brown and white combo. The amazing chocolate brown wool coat is an old goodie from Prada. She has worn the coat since beginning of 2006 (here). I guess the cozy white turtleneck is also a reuse such as the dark brown trousers.

She accessorized her outstanding autumn outfit with Thierry Lasry sunglasses and matching light brown knitted gloves. Perfect accessories for the occasion and weather. It is sunny, but a bit cold in Denmark at the moment. We also get a glimpse of her golden Cartier bangle. Her all time favourite piece of jewellery along with her golden Shamballa Jewels bracelet (here).

I am sure you all also noticed Mary's beautiful golden horseshoe brooch. A lovely detail, don't you think? She matched it with yellow diamond studs. A closer looked revealed that she was wearing brown shoes as well. Maybe suede boots? A closer look revealed that Mary was in fact wearing a brand new leather tote bag from Decadent Copenhagen. I learned about the bag from Heaven.

It was a big night for the Crown Princes Couple, when they arrived to Skuespilhuset in Copenhagen to attend the presentation of the Nordic Council's award ceremony 2021.

About two months ago, Mary attended the grand official opening of Copenhagen 2021 (here). Why mention that? Because she wore the exact same bright red Raquel Diniz dress. I absolutely love this dress. She belted the dress with a black embellished belt, which I think we have seen before on previous occasions.

Even though it looks like she had chosen a few jewelry, a closer look reveal that Mary was in fact wearing quite a few pieces of accessories. The stunning diamond earrings are created by talented Dulong Fine Jewelry. They are also the master of her rather large diamond ring. Her two matching golden bangles are from Cartier and Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. I see yet another bracelet, but that is still unknown in identify.

She embraced the style by wearing one of her black clutches as well. This one is from Sergio Rossi. I am sure you noticed her black pumps as well. At first, it looked like her old ones, but I was wrong. They are brand new. A new pair are added to her wardrobe. They have been identified as Gianvito Rossi.

The Psychiatry Foundation's 25th anniversary

02 November

Over the years, Crown Princess has become the proud patron of a number of different foundations and organizations. One of them is the Psychiatry Foundation. This year, they celebrate their 25th anniversary and as patron, Crown Princess Mary was invited to attend the big day.

She arrived to the Psychiatry Foundation's facilities in Copenhagen, where the anniversary event was about to take place. At the arrival, she was welcomed by Chairman of the Psychiatry Foundation Torsten Bjørn Jacobsen and the foundation's CEO Marianne Skjold.

The Crown Princess gave a speech on the occasion of the 25th anniversary.

I want to wear a pink and grey outfit right away. Mary convinced my that this is the ultimate colormatch this Fall. The lovely bobble-gum pink coat is from Andiata. She first wore it, when she attended the Global Network of Women's Shelters' Conference in 2015 (here). It is indeed a really beautiful coat. Mary matched the stunning coat with a similar colored Hugo Boss blouse and a brand new grey midi skirt. I have not yet been able to identify her new skirt.

Mary is truly a master, when it comes to picking the right accessories for her outfits. So did she at the anniversary event for the Psychiatry Foundation. Those powder pink Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings are a really fine choice. Such as the golden Orit Elhanati necklace and the two golden rings from Dulong Fine Jewelry.

Another clever choice is the fact that she embraced the style with new grey suede Gianvito Rossi pumps and a Quidam leather clutch. I am stunned how her new pumps and skirt match in color. That is almost crazy.

Presentation of the annual Christmas Stamp 2021

01 November

What a way to welcome November. It was as patron of the Julemærkefonden that Crown Princess Mary showed up at Copenhagen City Hall to participate the presentation of the annual Christmas Stamp.

Every year, a new stamp is designed and sold to collect money to the Christmas Stamp homes in Denmark. Here children are given the chance to evolve, find confidence, learn why exercise and healthy food are good for both our mental and physical health.

It is illustrator Peter Bay Alexandersen, who created the lovely motive for this years Christmas Stamp. He titled them "Home for Christmas". Truly a dreamy design.

The Crown Princess was welcomed with smiles, a bouquet of flowers and lots of observant children in Copenhagen City Hall. Everyone wanted a glimpse of her at the annual presentation of the Christmas Stamp. The new stamp was later revealed by Crown Princess Mary and its creator Peter Bay Alexandersen.

Lately, we have seen Mary wear such colorful and bright outfits. That changed a bit at the presentation of the new Christmas Stamp. When she arrived to the City Hall in Copenhagen, she revealed not only this years stamp but also a simple black and white outfit.

The stunning white coat goes back to 2005. She first wore it at the inauguration of a new ontological center in April (here). Actually, she repeated her very first look at the presentation of the Christmas Stamp 2021. Black dress - white coat. Then in 2014, the coat was altered and today it features no collar anymore (here).

Mary embraced her fine look with lovely white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and an elegant Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen diamond band. Amazing how simple a few pieces of jewellery can make an outfit even more beautiful.

Usually, my eyes catch one detail first. This time, my eyes spotted her little black clutch first. It looks so much like one of her old Diane von Furstenberg clutches (here). Time was no on my side, but luckily UFO No More had the same idea. They identified the clutch as Diane von Furstenberg. It matches perfectly the pointed black leather pumps from Gianvito Rossi.
