July 4th, 2025

Queen Mary was guest of honor at the official opening of Global Fashion Summit: Copenhagen Edition 2025 taking from these days in Copenhagen. The Queen has been patron of the Global Fashion Agenda since 2009.

The event gathered more than 1,000 actors from the global fashion industry. They were gathered to discuss this years' theme "Barriers and Bridges".

She also visited Innovation Forum on occasion of the summit. She was introduced to different companies who works with bio-based lycra and silk, digital showroom solutions and less resource-intensive textile dyeing.

Maybe not her most well-put-together outfit but I really love the idea of matching light grey and brown. That I like. Don't think I have ever really tought about that being such a wonderful color-combo. Her linen set is from the talented Danish designer Mark Kenly Domino Tan. Mary first wore the set when visiting France in April. It created headlines back then.

Mary accessorized the fine linen set with a reused Zimmerman belt and brown midi heels from Gianvito Rossi. I truly wish she had worn some other pieces of jewellery. Something a bit more bold. Nevertheless both the golden Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings and the Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen rings are remarkable craftsmanship.

June 3rd, 2025

Denmark takes over the EU presidency on July 1st of 2025. On that occasion the incoming presidency countries are visited by the European Parliament's Conference of Presidents before taking over the EU presidency. This is why King Frederik and Queen Mary hosted a reception at Frederik VIII's Palace at Amalienborg on June 3rd.

Mary has worn this wonderful bright pink No 21 dress on six different occasions since 2019. Maybe you also remember her wearing it on her husband's 56th birthday last year? I am always very excited when she is wearing something bright and colorful. You know that is you have been following me for many years.

Receiving the Conference of Presidents of the European Parliament, Mary had chosen just a few pieces of accessories. Like her beloved beige pointed python pumps from Gianvito Rossi and golden Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings. Did you know that these earrings comes with interchangeable pendants?

Her stunning new golden necklaces is from the talented Louise Grønlykke. In fact it is studded with shiny diamonds. What is not to like!

Knudshoved Odde

May 27, 2025

Queen Mary visited Knudshoved Odde near Vordingborg as patron of WWF World Wide Fund for Nature who are currently working on a project to ensure better living conditions for endangered animal species.

Mikkel Aarø-Hansen, General Secretary of WWF World Wide Fund for Nature accompanied Mayor of Vordingborg Mikael Smed, Landowner of Rosenfeldt Gods Nicolai Oxholm Tillisch and director of Ravn-Nature Peer Ravn when welcoming the Queen when she arrived at Knudshoved Odde.

The Queen was scheduled to take part in a butterfly release, but cool weather meant that it was postponed. Instead, some of the butterflies were displayed and later to be released when the weather is warmer.

During the visit, the Queen also participated in releasing bell frogs and spread a seed mixture on the forest meadow.

This is what I love so much about our Queen: she is not afraid of jumping into a lake, climb a tree or release a frog. For her visit at Knudshoved Odde Mary had chosen a pair of reused Laksen trousers, an old down-vest from Moncler and a brand new Scandinavian Edition jacket.

The cool canvas belt with the brass buckle is from the Swedish Fjällräven. It features the iconic Fjällräven logo: the fox. Mary also wore new outdoor shoes from Salomon.

We also get a glimpse of a golden ring studded with diamonds from Dulong Fine Jewelry. I've been interested in knowing more about her rather massive silver ring. She has worn it on a few occasion's prior to her visit at Knudshoved Odde. It is now told to be a 'smart ring' that track you health. Your level of stress, sleep and heartbeat.

I am aware that Princess Isabella and her younger sister Princess Josephine have become quite an interest to many of you. So I decided to share my knowledge about their outfits as well. Princess Isabella looked amazing in a bright orange suit from Harris Wharf London and her mother's Prada blouse. She embraced the outfit with Aquamarine earrings, a golden Dulong Fine Jewelry necklace and brown suede Gianvito Rossi pumps.

Princess Josephine wore the most wonderful printed blouse from Zimmermann and simple white trousers. Very similar to the outfit her mother wore at the presentation of the National Teaching Award in 2023. The princess accessorized her look with golden jewellery from, among others, Dulong Fine Jewelry and cool black sling-back flats.

Mary had chosen a stunning navy blue dress created by Danish designer Søren Le Schmidt. He is indeed a talented tailor. The details are magnificent! Not quite sure I like the added Prada belt but I like the idea of something that emphasis her waist. Her dazzling diamond earrings are once purchased at an Bruun Rasmussen auction. The brooch is a masterpiece by Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. We also get a glimpse of python pumps from Gianvito Rossi.

Mary looked super cool at the event in Randbøl! A first I thought she was wearing a reused denim shirt and jeans but it turns out that she was in fact wearing a brand new jumpsuit. Do we like that? - I do. Think it is a smashing thing to wear at such an event. Perfectly matched with an old black Arma coat and suede boots.

She embraced the denim look with a fantastic new suede khaki bag from Jérôme Dreyfuss and a fine blue scarf. I think the scarf is new too. The detailing is great! Her glasses are rather new ones from Gucci.

A closer look reveal her wearing golden Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings, as well as a couple of rings. I am still very interested in knowing more about the silver ring on her left hand.

May 22, 2025

King Frederik and Queen Mary attended as guests of honor at a gala dinner on occasion of BusinessEurope, Council of Presidents. The dinner was hosted by Danish Industry.

Mary looked absolutely stunning at the dinner! She matched a reused pink printed Erdem pencil skirt with a fine and elegant black blouse from Jesper Høvring. The Erdem skirt was first seen when the couple attended private birthday party at Gavnø Castle in 2024. Back then Mary matched it with a blouse in the same color and floral print. Which outfit do you prefer?

Mary accessorized her evening look with smashing Annikat earrings perfectly matching the pink skirt! The rather heavy golden necklace is a vintage piece from Christian Dior. Worn in January 2025 and in May 2024. I am very much interested to learn more about her golden ring. I believe we have seen it before.

I really like her choice of clutch and shoes. The Sergio Rossi and pointed Gianvito Rossi pumps makes the outfit even more wonderful.

Reception for BusinessEurope

May 22, 2025

These days European business are gathered for a summit hosted by the city of Copenhagen. The summit is a prelude to the Danish EU Presidency. It has its focus on present and geopolitical topics. The summit is an arrangement between Danish Industry, Dansk Arbejdsgiverforening and BusinessEurope.

King Frederik and Queen Mary entered the summit by hosting a reception at Frederik VIII's Palace at Amalienborg. The royal couple welcomed each and every one of the invited guests - also the Chairman of BusinessEurope Fredrik Persson.

Just a couple of days ago I mentioned how much it seems like Mary has fallen in love with wearing suits lately. She proves that one more time. When hosting the reception for BusinessEurope on Thursday evening along with her husband, she wore yet another suit. 

I craved something colorful for a long time. This is exactly what I wished for: a smashing bright blue suit. It looks like a brand new one. Made of linen? I can't recall having seen it before. Am I wrong? The single photo published does not show how she styled it other than leopard pumps from Gianvito Rossi.

Mail to the Mary Foundation

May 21, 2025

For many years the Mary Foundation has collaborated with the Ole Kirk's Foundation and LOKK to make a difference for children who followed their parent to a shelter. Every year around 2,000 children are to be found at shelter's in Denmark.

These children are given backpacks as a small contributes to a new life. The backpacks contain toys, books, clothes and a postcard. This postcard offers room for a writing or a drawing to share with the Queen and the Mary Foundation.

The Queen shared a few words about how grateful she is to receive this many postcards from children all over Denmark who found happiness and joy in their backpacks.

What is better than a good old black blazer and a little knitwear? I can't really decide if her outfit is a reuse or if she is wearing new pieces. Mary has quite a lot black blazer and similar knitted sweaters like this. Do you recognize it? I guess she was be wearing black trousers to match the rest of the outfit.

She styled it with chic Gucci glasses and a couple of necklaces. They are loved ones from Julie Sandlau featuring her children's initials (C I V J) and a green beads necklace from Nadia Shelbaya. We also get a glimpse of her rather new solid silver (or steal?) ring. Have you read anything about this ring?

Presentation of The Queen Mary Scholarship

May 16, 2025

Queen Mar arrived at University of Copenhagen as guest of honor. She was to present the recipients of The Queen Mary Scholarship.

The scholarship is awarded to Australian exchange students studying in Denmark. It is a recognition of their academic excellence, their commitment to the study environment and their role in strengthening the connection between Australia and Denmark.

Student of archaeology Emilija Celar and student of law Edward Noel Ford received this year's Queen Mary Scholarship. Congratulations to both of them.

Mary seems to love a good old suit. She has worn them quite a lot lately. Maybe I had hoped for something else for the presentation at University of Copenhagen. Think she looks a bit pale. I miss a little color. A clutch, a pair of earrings are a colorful blouse.

Her fine suit is a reuse from Massimo Dutti. She first wore it in 2017 when visiting Japan. On May 16th Mary had chosen to wear a brand new Harris Wharf London blouse. A least it is the first time she wears it. Her youngest daughter Princess Josephine wore the exact same one when celebrating Princess Isabella's birthday in April.

The fine golden earrings and the stunning Rose Quartz necklace are both creations from Dulong Fine Jewelry. We haven't seen the necklace for quite a few years. We get a glimpse of her Nadia Shelbaya necklace. The beautiful sling-back pumps are from Valentino.

Queen Mary hosted the annual meeting for the Mary Foundation's Presidium. 

Representatives from Tuborgfondet, Egmont Foundation Secretariat, the Ole Kirk's Fundation, the Wiliam Demant Foundation, TrygFonden, The Obelske Family Foundation, the Hempel Foundation, Østifterne and the Lauritzen Foundation were all invited to the board meeting.

The Presidium were gathered at Frederik VIII's Palace at Amalienborg.

Mary first wore this fine blue Victoria Beckham blouse in 2018. Since then we have seen her wear it with black skirts, a floral skirt, a lace one and a creamy white skirt. At the board meeting she had chosen a pair of wide-legged Proenza Shoulder trousers matched with a chic Balenciaga belt. I always liked the blouse but the white trousers got me. It looks beautiful.

She embraced the snake-skin-style with amazing reused pointed pumps from Gianvito Rossi. The cool tortoise-like glasses are rather new ones from Gucci. I have a difficult time identifying her jewellery. I recognize the golden Julie Sandlau necklace featuring her children's initials. The earrings and bracelet could be from Dulong Fine Jewelry.

Visit at the Kidney Association's Dialysis Clinic

May 09, 2025

Queen Mary visited the Kidney Association's Dialysis Clinic in Svaneke on Bornholm. She was warmly welcomed at the clinic by CEO of the Kidney Association Michael Buksti, nurse and clinical manager of the clinic for guest dialysis Lenette Ipsen and chairwoman of the Kidney Association's Bornholm branch Karin Pihl Andersen.

The Queen was given a guided tour around the clinic. She watched how a dialysis work and had opportunity to talk to some of the patients. She was also given an inside in what it takes to live a life with weekly dialysis treatment and everything that follows.

Mary was beautifully dressed in a casual outfit when visiting dialysis clinic in Svaneke, Bornholm. She styled a reused denim shirt from POLO Ralph Lauren with simple black trousers and a fine brown leather belt from Celine. Nothing special about the look but she made it work with such perfection. In a way only she can.

Looks like Mary was wearing suede boots. The lack of photos makes it hard for me to tell if she has worn them before or is they are new. I guess we have seen them before. Maybe her beloved Prada buckle boots?

Pretty sure I have seen a photo that show her wearing golden Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings matching the elegant Nadia Shelbaya necklace.

Members of the United Nations Chief Executives Board, representatives from Greenland and the Faroe Islands, the Presidium of Folketinget and the United Nations General Secretary António Guterres were amongst the invited guests.

I love that Mary wore the same dress as when they docked Helsingør earlier today. She rarely wears the same clothes for two different occasions that same day. As hostess of the dinner at Kronborg Castle Mary had chosen to leave the Scanlan & Theodore jacket on board Dannebrog. Clever choice.

She matched the stunning blue printed Erdem dress with a smashing leather clutch from Christian Dior and dusty blue suede Gianvito Rossi pumps. The clutch has only been worn a few times but the pumps have both traveled Italy, Latvia, Japan and Sweden.

Her magnificent blue Aquamarine earrings goes back to 2004 and are a purchased from Bruun Rasmussen. The beautiful Aquamarine ring is a fine match with the earrings!

Mary looked absolutely stunning in her reused Erdem dress! The soft blue color and the print are simply beautiful. I love the detailing with the collar, pleated skirt and puffy sleves. She matched the amazing midi-dress with an old Scanlan & Theodore jacket. I am not quite sure I would have chosen the same jacket with this dress but I like the idea.

She also embraced the style with an outstanding creation from milliner Katrin Cecilia Jacobsen. The shape of her hat is what I like most about it. Super classy and chic. Timeless and elegant. Mary added fine diamond earrings from Sophie Bille Brahe and a smashing diamond ring. I am still to identify it.

The same goes with her clutch. It is a reuse but I have never been able to find out about the designer. Maybe one day. A wonderful match with the beige python pumps from Gianvito Rossi.

I am not sure it was the perfect "concert outfit" but I truly love how she matched her soft white Max Mara vest and trousers with a brand new dusty rose Max Mara blazer. Earlier today she hosted a meeting with of UNFPA's Executive Director, the Director for Development Policy and UNPFA's Nordic Representative Office wearing the same outfit. Maybe a bit more appropriate for a meeting?

She embraced the style with stunning golden South Sea pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and necklaces from Nadia Shelbaya and Julie Sandlau. I am still very interested in learning more about her diamond ring.

I like the idea of dusty rose pumps to match with blazer. Maybe her Gianvito Rossi python pumps wasn't the right choice? What do you think? But they look fantastic with the reused leather handbag from Max Mara!

Queen Mary hosted a meeting with attendance UNFPA Executive Director Dr. Natalia Kanem, The Ministry of Foreign Affairs' Director for Development Policy Elsebeth Søndergaard Krone and Director of UNFPA's Nordic Representative Office Ulla Müller.

The Queen has been patron for the United Nation's Population Fund (UNFPA) for the last 15 years. She spend her time focusing on girls and women's health and rights across the globe.

Dr. Natalia Kanem informed the Queen about the foundation's work about, among others things, maternal mortality, family planning, combating violence against women and involving the private sector.

Mary looked spectacular at her meeting with Dr. Natalia Kanem, Elsebeth Søndergaard Krone and Ulla Müller. She wore a brand new dusty pink Max Mara blazer matched with a reused white vest and wide-legged trousers from the same designer.

I really like how she accessorized the outfit. The two necklaces from Nadia Shelbaya and Julie Sandlau are such beautiful pieces. I am still very interested in knowing more about her diamond ring. It is simply remarkable. The earrings are old ones crafted by Dulong Fine Jewelry.

We get a glimpse of her shoes as well. Pointed snakeskin pumps from Gianvito Rossi. A great detail.
