Day 2. Official visit to Germany

22 October 2024

King Frederik and Queen Mary arrived in Berlin yesterday where they spend their first day of the official visit to Germany. They also attended a grand dinner in the evening with attendance from both Swedish and Norwegian royal family.

Their second day was spend visiting the Danish minority living in Schleswig-Holstein. The King and Queen were officially welcomed in Kiel by Minister President of Schleswig-Holstein Daniel Günther and his wife Anke Günther.

The welcome ceremony was followed by a boat trip at GEOMAR as part of a conference on energy in which the royal couple later attended. Then a visit at Danevirke and a guided tour around Flensborg House - the center of Danish businesses in South Schleswig.

I have absolutely nothing bad to say about Mary's outfit. Love the colors, mix of materials and how she added a coat and scarf, and had then created the perfect October-outfit. When visiting Danish minority in Schleswig-Holstein, Mary wore a beautiful new printed ME+EM blouse, a chic bordeaux Harris Wharf London blazer and smashing new The Fold London trousers. Hey, what is not to like? The beige trenchcoat is also from Harris Wharf London.

Mary accessorized her look with Sophie Bille Brahe diamond earrings and a custom-made golden ring from Dulong Fine Jewelry. I like how she kept it simple with her number of jewellery. Makes it look a bit more balanced.

The fine brown leather handbag is a reused Anya Hindmarch and the matching pointed pumps are Malone Souliers. Still in conflict with myself about the heels. They look super comfortable and Mary wears them with great elegance, but the design is just not my cup of tea. Later, she changed to a pair of navy blue Prada boots.

21 October 2024

Arriving to Germany

On October 21st-22nd, the Royal Couple will pay an official visit to Germany and the Danish minority in Schleswig-Holstein on occasion of the proclamation in January.

King Frederik and Queen Mary arrived by plain in Berlin earlier this morning. They were warmly welcomed at the airport by President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife Elke Büdenbender.

I have only been able to see a couple of photos from their arrival in Berlin, when leaving the plain. Looks like Mary is wearing a simple white blouse, navy blue trousers and a matching long coat. The photos I have seen are all blurry, so it's difficult for me to say anything for sure about brands.

She styled her travel outfit with comfortable Prada boots, a reused Ralph Lauren bag and a brand new headband created by Katrin Cecilia Jacobsen. A closer look revealed that she was in fact also wearing her beautiful printed Etro belt. I really look forward to the next couple of days!

First day in Germany

After their arrival, the royal couple were officially welcomed by President of the Federal Republic of Germany, Frank-Walter Steinmeier and his wife Elke Büdenbender in their residence at Schloss Bellevue. 

The official welcoming ceremony was followed by a meeting with the Bärbel Bas, President of the Bundestag. They were given a guided tour around the Reichstag.

In the afternoon, King Frederik and Queen Mary met with representatives from the five nordic countries - with Germany as host, to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the Nordic embassy facility in Berlin. Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel from Sweden and Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit also attended the anniversary, along with Finland and Iceland's Presidents.

Have we seen this outfit before? Yes, we have. When the couple visited Norway back in May, Mary wore the exact same Jesper Høvring blouse, checkered Emilie Wickstead skirt and nude pointed Prada pumps. E Even the leather clutch from Prada is the same. Something, I think this time in Germany suits her way better. Think it is the 60's vibe that captures we. The soft blue coat matched everything perfectly!

Somehow, milliner Katrin Cecilia Jacobsen managed to create a headband in the same color and fabric as her beautiful Jesper Høvring blouse. That is truly impressive. Mary also styled her dreamy princess-look with large golden Rebekka Notkin earrings and a diamond ring.

I am enchanted by her wonderful outfit. Although we have are in end of October and autumn has already arrived, the soft pastel colors are still incredibly beautiful.

Official dinner

President of the Federal Republic of Germany Frank-Walter Steinmeier hosted a prestiges official dinner at the Schloss Bellevue accompanied by his beautiful wife, Elke Büdenbender. The dinner also gathered royals from both Sweden and Norway and Presidents.

It was wonderful to see of them together: King Frederik, Queen Mary, Crown Princess Victoria, Prince Daniel, Crown Prince Haakon and Crown Princess Mette-Marit.

Both the President of the Federal Republic of Germany and King Frederik gave a speech at the dinner.

I was breathless when I saw the first photos of Mary's evening outfit at the official dinner! She looked marvelous in her brand new bright red gown from Carolina. Herrera. It's so simple, yet detailed. The cap-sleeves, belt and tailoring are outstanding.

Mary embraced the outfit with her wedding earrings created by Dulong Fine Jewelry in company with King Frederik. It was his morning gift to his (then) future wife. Dulong Fine Jewelry also mastered the elegant white pearl ring. We all noticed her massive pearl bracelet. It features the portrait of Queen Josefina of Sweden-Norway. It is part of The Danish Royal Property Trust stored at Rosenborg Castle in Copenhagen.

She matched the white pearl with a brand new Anya Hindmarch clutch. Truly incredible accessory. Such as the bright red satin pumps from Rupert Sanderson. Think I love pretty much everything of tonight's outfit. Even the hairstyle is perfect.

Holstebro's 750th anniversary

11 October 2024

King Frederik and Queen Mary were invited as guests of honor to attend Holstebro's 750th anniversary. During the past year, the city has celebrated the up coming anniversary with more 750 different events and todays gathering were the official celebration.

The royal couple were warmly welcomed by Mayor H.C. Østerby at the city hall. They enjoyed lunch at Restaurant JA - the city's old iron foundry. After a fine lunch, the King and Queen went for a walk down the streets of Holstebro. Right down to the Danish Talent Academy.

I have always been a huge fan of colored winter coats like the one Mary was wearing in Holstebro. Wanted one for years when a beloved friend of mine gifted me with a dark red wool-blend one. Wouldn't live without it in my wardrobe. Love wearing colors.

Mary looked absolutely stunning in her brand new orange coat from Max Mara. Can't wait for her to wear it again. She matched the beautiful coat with a reused printed Saloni dress. What is no to like about this combo?

She also accessorized the outfit with a magnificent hairband created by Jane Taylor. First worn in December 2019 an again in November 2022. Think Mary's is custom-made. Love that Mary styled the dress with matching suede Aquazzura boots and Hugo Boss clutch.

As jewellery, she had chosen shiny diamond earrings from Sophie Bille Brahe and a couple of rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

American Chamber of Commerce's 25th anniversary

10 October 2024

American Chamber of Commerce in Denmark - or AmCham Denmark, celebrated their 25th anniversary as a non-profit business representing more than 230 companies from both America, Danish and internationally. These companies have investments in both Denmark and the United States. AmCham is part of the international AmCham-network existing in more than 100 countries.

King Frederik and Queen Mary attended the celebration as guests of honor. The anniversary dinner took place at Moltke's Palace in Copenhagen. The King and Queen were not the only ones invited. Among the guests were also Danish Minister of the Interior and Health Sophie Løhde, Minister of Business Morten Bødskov and the US Ambassador in Denmark Alan Leventhal.

Lately, I think Mary has switched from amazing and outstanding outfits to a little odd combinations. Do you get what I mean? Like her outfit at the evening banquet on October 8th. That was a bit strange. Visiting Brazil earlier this months, she looked super chic!

This evening at the AmCham dinner, Mary looked absolutely smashing in her reused velvet gown created by Jesper Høvring. Just look at the details. It's so simple, yet so detailed. I love the splash of colour. Makes the dress even more classy.

Mary styled the dress with shiny golden earrings from Rebekka Notkin and a couple of bracelets from the same talented Danish designer. Rebekka Notkin's jewellery are wonderful! Mary was also wearing a diamond ring and bracelet from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

The yellow satin Yves Saint Laurent clutch is such a clever move. It matches perfectly the dress. We get a glimpse of her black patent Gianvito Rossi pumps. Also worn the previous day.

How do we rate this outfit? 1-10

Presentation of the Christmas stamp 2024

10 October 2024

Queen Mary attended the presentation of the annual Christmas Stamp as patron of Julemærkefonden. The big reveal took place at Copenhagen city hall.

Artist Niels Ditlev had the honor of designing this years Christmas stamp. The task was maybe a little more special this time because the stamp was dedicated to the new King and Queen. The Christmas stamp 2024 is entitled "Christmas in the kingdom - yesterday, today and tomorrow". Niels Ditlev created a designed with many references of Danish history.

Count Ingolf and his wife Countess Sussie of Rosenborg also attended the presentation as patron of the Christmas stamp march and because of their work as ambassador's of the Christmas stamp homes.

Earlier that morning, Frederik and Mary both attended the official farewell to Iceland's President and her husband who have been visiting Denmark the last couple of days. Mary chose to wear the very same outfit at the presentation of the Christmas stamp at the city hall around noon. She dazzled in a reused Zimmermann blouse and wide-legged JOSEPH trousers with a Prada belt. She also wore a beautiful white coat at the arrival.

The delicate diamond earrings are still a mystery to me but I know about the stunning custom-made Dulong Fine Jewelry bracelets, the diamond rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and her new brooch. It shows this years Christmas stamp.

She beautifully matched the outfit with navy blue suede pumps from Jimmy Choo.

(Day 3.) Officiel state visit from Iceland

- official farewell

10 October 2024

Iceland's President Halla Tómasdóttir and her husband Björn Skúlason have been on a two-days official state visit in Denmark. They arrived on October 8th.

Today, King Frederik and Queen Mary hosted an official farewell at Christian VII's Palace at Amalienborg. President Halla Tómasdóttir and Björn Skúlason followed a more than 160 year old tradition and wrote their signature at a piece of window glass.

Mary matched a reused printed blouse from Zimmermann with wide-legged JOSEPH trousers. I tend to say that this is a "signature outfit". It is a good-old go-to which we have seen a million times before but it never gets out of style. The Prada belt is a classy detail.

I see a pair of diamond earrings. I have never been able to learn more about them. Hope I will one day. They are stunning! So is the custom-made Dulong Fine Jewelry bracelets. Would really (really) like to own one of these 'Piccolo' bracelets. Love the mix of different stones. Think it is the first time Mary wears two at the same time. Do you like it? She also embraced the outfit with three diamond rings. The bands are Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

Day 2. Official state visit from Iceland

09 October 2024

Yesterday, the Icelandic President and her husband arrived in Copenhagen for a two-days official state visit. The King and Queen warmly welcomed the couple at Nordre Toldbod.

Today, the royal couple accompanied President Halla Tómasdóttir and husband Björn Skúlason for a visit at "State of Green" which is a private-public partnership between the Danish government, companies and actors within the energy sector. Among others, the Presidential couple also paid a visit at Copenhagen Business School and attended the conference "Iceland and Denmark's Path to Shared Success".

Laster on, the King and Queen attended a business conference at Danish Industry along with the Presidential couple.

I really hoped for something else but you never fail with a good old suit from Scanlan & Theodore and a plain white Hugo Boss blouse. Right? Mary wore the same combo when celebrating Queen Margrethe's 83rd birthday in April 2023 and at a state visit in Spain in 2023.

This time, Mary accessorized the dusty green suit with brand new white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a beautiful beaded brooch. I have never been able to identify the brooch. Maybe I will one day. Could it be a one-of-a-kind? It is a reuse such as the elegant diamond ring from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

The chic snake pumps are old ones from Gianvito Rossi. She wore the exact same pumps at the state visit in Spain last year. I never really understood the thing about snakeskin/python pumps, but Mary changed my mind.

Return event at the Northatlantic Brygge

Island's President Halla Tómasdóttir hosted a return event at the Northatlantic Brygge in Copenhagen. Usually, the royal couple host a dinner or banquet in honor of the visiting couple and they host a return event as a "thank you for your hospitality during our visit".

Princess Benedikte was also present at the event such as the Icelandic ambassador in Denmark Péter Ásgeirsson. 

Mary wore this suit back in 2015 when attending "World Cancer Day". I have thought about it for years, when she would wear it again. Today it happened! Back then I was not sure about it being a two-piece or a jumpsuit. I go with a jumpsuit. Seems most likely. The black belt is a reuse from Celine. At the arrival, Mary was wearing an old black Prada coat.

She embraced the style with ruby earrings and bracelet inherited from Queen Ingrid. Both are part of the Queen's ruby parure. I am sure you noticed her exclusive ruby ring. It belonged to Queen Alexandrine. She wore it as a brooch. Queen Alexandrine even wore it on her engagement photos (link below). Mary paired it with a diamond band from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and a silver one from Dulong Fine Jewelry.

As with the jumpsuit, we haven't seen these black patent pumps from Gianvito Rossi for quite some years. Mary was very fund of these pumps years ago.

Welcoming

Queen Mary just arrived home from a four-days visit to Brazil. A couple of days later, her and King Frederik are hosting an official state visit from Iceland's President Halla Tómasdóttir and her husband Björn Skúlason. They will stay in Denmark from October 8-9th.

King Frederik and Queen Mary welcomed the President and Björn Skúlason at the harbor of Nordre Toldbod in Copenhagen. The four of them accompanied each other for a visit at Kastellet - a war memorial. The honored soldiers and their families with a wreath.

Before visiting the Icelandic cultural center Jónshús in Copenhagen, the couple were officially welcomed at Amalienborg. In the afternoon, the royal couple and the Presidentail couple visited the Arnamagnean Collection at University of Copenhagen.

Mary looked absolutely splendid when welcoming Iceland's President Halla Tómasdóttir and her husband Björn Skúlason. She wore a reused purple dress created by Danish designer Søren Le Schmidt. The details are magnificent! Mary first wore this stunning dress in 2023 when attending the coronation of King Charles III and Queen Camilla. Back then, she styled the dress with a custom-made headpiece from Jane Taylor. On October 8th, she wore the same piece but without the vail.

Somehow, her fine little Amethyst necklace caught all the attention. I get it. The necklace is indeed beautiful and we haven't seen it for many years. Yes, she has worn it before. Mary first wore the Hugo Grun necklace when honored being new patron of the Kidney Association in June 2005. Then again in October 2005. She even wore it for official photos when Crown Prince Christian was born. Last but not least, Mary wore the necklace in 2009.

Mary also embraced the outfit with a lovely Carlend Copenhagen clutch and dusty rose patent pumps from Gianvito Rossi.

I like the idea of mixing and matching, new and old. Adore the midnight blue outfit and shiny diamond jewellery. Somehow, I'm still a bit confused. Both the Jesper Høvring top and ruffle Oscar de la Renta skirt are outstanding but I'm not in love with the combo. What was your first reaction? I'd really like to hear you out on this one.

Mary beautifully accessorized her evening outfit with the Danish Pearl Poiré Parure previously worn by Queen Margrethe. The Court Jeweller has this great article about the parure if you would like to know a bit more about the history of the tiara. Mary also wore stunning diamond earrings previously owned by Anne of Orange and the smashing Rivière diamond necklace.

She matched the look with an old satin box clutch from Prada and suede pumps from Jimmy Choo.

Day 4. Official visit to Brazil

05 October 2024

Queen Mary has spend the last three days in Brazil along with Danish Minster of Climate, Energy and Supply Lars Aagaard. They were welcomed with a performance at the Teatro Amazonas, met with Brazil's President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and visited the INPA - the national research center in the Amazon region.

On her last day in the city of Brasílias, the two of them accompanied each other one last time when visiting the botanic garden in Brasílias. It was as patron for UNEP - the United Nation's Environmental Program she visited the botanic garden, which is an area for nature conservation.

I really liked her style during the visit in Brazil. We have seen new and old pieces from her wardrobe, classy and elegant outfits. My favorite look from her travel is (by no doubt) her colorful evening outfit from the first day. I was baffled. Enough about that.

Mary spend her last day in Brasílias, Brazil by visiting the botanic garden. She wisely had chosen a simple casual outfit for the occasion. She reused the linen Bagutta button-down and a chic dusty green By Malene Birger skirt. Maybe you remember her wearing the skirt in Fiji last year? The brown leather belt from Max Mara was a great detail. So is the blue Gucci shades and Canopy Bay by Deborah Hutton hat.

She styled the look with golden earrings and a diamond bangle from Dulong Fine Jewelry, an Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen ring and necklaces from Halberstadt and Julie Sandlau. The fine ballet flats are Prada and the cool white sneakers are from Adidas.

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 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.
