Gala dinner for arts and culture at Christiansborg


28 February 2025

Friday evening King Frederik and Queen Mary hosted their very first gala dinner for arts and culture at Christiansborg. People representing different arts and members of the cultural life in Denmark were invited to the dinner such as representatives from the Ministry of Culture and the court. Queen Margrethe also attended the gala dinner.

The gala dinner for arts and culture was first held by Queen Margrethe and Prince Henrik in 1976 and has been a tradition ever since.

Dinner was served, music was played and lancer was danced. Lancer is a favorit of Queen Margrethe.



Well, well, well. Rais your hand if you ever though Mary would wear this Jenny Peckham gown for an event like this? It never crossed my mind but I love it! Mary first wore the incredible sparkly gown at an interview with Financial Times in 2022 with photos taken by photographer Hasse Nielsen. Really beautiful choice.

Mary accessorized the stunning gown with a tiara purchased at a Bruun Rasmussen auction around 2015 when she first wore it at a gala concert on occasion of Queen Margrethe's 75th birthday. She wore earrings similar in style and a HUGE diamond ring. I am pretty it's inherited from Queen Margrethe or part of the Danish royal collection. What do you think? Is Queen Margrethe in fact wearing the ring on her first official portrait as Queen of Denmark in 1972?

The elegant dusty pink satin pumps are reused from Gianvito Rossi. A fine match to the gown and the pumps. It is from Prada.
