Christmas reception at Frederik VIII's Palace

December 05, 2025

Every year, Queen Mary host a Christmas reception for the Mary Foundation's præsidium to wish everybody a Merry Christmas and as a way to show her gratitude for another year of collaboration.

The reception to place at Amalienborg. They enjoyed a cup of glögg and æbleskiver while small talking.

"People need people" - the Mary Foundation

This had to be the most crazy outfit ever worn at a Christmas reception. Usually Mary wears something simple and classy like a figure-hugging dress or a suit. This year she matched velvet with leopard print, lace and knit. Pretty cool combo.

Her fine jumper is a reuse from Cholé. So is the leopard skirt. It has never been identified - nor do I know if I like the shiny fabric. Still it is a great outfit.

Mary embraced the style with a brand new blue beaded necklace and matching earrings. Non of this have been identified. I'm all ears to hear what you think. I also see a diamond ring and butterfly brooch. She was even wearing brand new velvet pumps from Prada!

I know you love when Mary is rewearing old clothes and accessories. This suit is a perfect example. Mary first wore her Dolce & Gabbana suit for a business promotion visit in London in September 2004, which makes it more than 20 years old! Impressive, right? At the launch she wore the pinstriped suit with a simple black turtleneck.

Mary accessorized the look with a reused Prada handbag and chic ankle boots from Gianvito Rossi. I missed the bag. We haven't seen it for quite a while. A true Prada classics. The diamond earrings and rings were a beautiful detail with the rather plain outfit. She wore Tom Ford glasses when given her speech.

Christmas visit at Rigshospitalet

December 03, 2025

For quite some years, the Queen has visited Kræftværket at Rigshospitalet around Christmas. Kræftværket is a safe place for young cancer patients. Kræftværket always host a Christmas event and Queen Mary has been a regular visitor sinde the inauguration in 2015.

Queen Mary enjoyed a wonderful evening with the young patients. They talked, had gløgg (hot drink) and the famous æbleskiver. A traditional Danish dessert. It's like a pancake batter in the shape a small balls. Tastes wonderful with jam and powdered sugar.

They also celebrated nurse and youth coordinator Maiken Hjerming's 10th anniversary as head of Kræftværket. 

We have only very few photos of Mary's outfit from when she visited Kræftværket af Rigshospitalet. I see a lovely brown jumper gathered in her waist with a small ribbon. It looks new. Think she was wearing brown or black trousers. There are not much to go on.

The beautiful golden earrings are created by Dulong Fine Jewelry. The same goes with the ring. It is custom-made by talented Dulong Fine Jewelry. Mary has a couple of these rings but I think this is her first design.

Queen Mary visited Ungeherberget Sporsløjen in Copenhagen as patron of WeShelter. The hostel is an acute housing facility for homeless young people between the age of 18 and 30, who struggle with complex social or psychological challenges. Ungerherberget Sporsløjfen is part of WeShelter.

After a tour around the facility the Queen joined the current young residents at the hostel for at a cop of coffee and a chat about their experiences and dreams for the future.

Not quite sure I would have chosen the same combo of blouse, coat and trousers as she did when visiting the hostel in Copenhagen. Still, I like the idea of an outfit. Maybe just another blouse or trousers? I do like the dark green jumper and wide-legged trousers. Makes a great silhouette. I am always a bit confused when Mary wears these long coats with trousers. This one is a reuse from Arma. Her blue belt is from Prada.

Mary accessorized the outfit with fine golden earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a diamond ring from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. The stunning Christmas tree brooch caught everone's eyes. Royal Daily Fashion managed to identified it as sold at Bohemehjem. A rather inexpensive piece but it makes the different, right?

Her chic black ankle boots are old ones from Gianvito Rossi. She loves wearing them with black trousers.

"LIVE WITHOUT VIOLENCE"

November 24, 2025

For years the Mary Foundation (and Queen Mary) has worked non-stop to fight against violence amongst intimate partner violence. Reports shows that in 2024 around 135,000 adults were exposed to physical, psychological or sexual violence by a current or former partner.

"If we all become better at recognizing violence and taking action when we see violence or suspect it, we can make a difference for many families and for many children." - a quote from one of Queen Mary's speeches earlier this year at a conference about detecting domestic violence.

The Mary Foundation teamed up with Lev Uden Vold (Live Without Violence) and gathered advices about knowledge about violence and a following guide.

A few days later I realized that the foundation's webpage has included new photos of as well. I believe Stine Heilmann is to praise for the photos.

I have the feeling that the photo could have been taken from one of their meetings. Feel like we have seen this look before but I can't recall when or where. Nevertheless, Mary was beautifully dressed in a simple white turtleneck and her soft grey woolen coat from JOSEPH. My guess is that her handbag is from Prada. A blue one but the photo does not show enough to tell for sure.

Her diamond earrings are from Sophie Bille Brahe. After all, these might be her most beloved earrings tough I'm still not quite sure they are my favorites.

I know it is not all about titles but after all Mary goes with the most prestiges title. Yet she was the one dressed most casually. I love that! Mary simply wore a fine Härkila coat and matching brown outdoor-trousers. Her Penelope Chilvers boots were a lovely match. She stayed warm wearing a knitted hat, gloves and a cozy turtleneck.

Meanwhile others were dressed in fur, long woolen coats, chic leather gloves, printed scarves and colorful bags.

Day 2. UN Climate Conference 'COP30'

November 12, 2025

Queen Mary already spent her first day in the city of Belém in Brazil by visiting the production site Ilha do Combu and attending welcoming reception at the Hangar where COP30 is hosted.

On November 12th, she first paid a visit to the research institute Embrapa, which is top of its league in agriculture, sustainability and forestry. Later on, she visited the African pavilion also attending the climate conference. The cultural center in Utinga Park also had the delightful pleasure of her visit.

You know I love when she is wearing colors. The more, the better. This is also why I really like her outfit on November 12th. Pretty sure her orange trousers are old ones but never identified. Love the detail with a matching (new) belt. It is from Seed Heritage. Beautiful combo of different materials. Her beloved white linen blouse is Bagutta.

As accessories Mary had chosen stunning Louise Grønlykke earrings. Only seen a couple of times before. The same story goes with the Dulong Fine Jewelry necklace. Pieces we have only seen a few times. I never really made up my mind with the necklace. Do you like this type of design?

She changed shoes from a pair of beloved Prada ballet flats to chic brown leather sandals from Gianvito Rossi. Mary has become very fond of these heeled sandals. We get it, right?

Dinner at Mercado de São Brás

Queen Mary was accompanied by the Brazilian First Lady Rosângela da Silva when attending dinner at the Marcado de São Brás. They attended as guests of honor. The president of COP30, Director-General of the UN Environment Programme Inger Andersen also took part in the dinner such as specially invited guests.

The dinner was to show how a project between Denmark Brazil work with sustainable gastronomy. It gathers chefs, farmers and local actors with a focus on biodiversity, local ingredients and food culture.

Mary looked absolutely magnificent at the dinner at Marcado de São Brás! Her stunning printed dress is a reused from Etro. She first wore the dress for a private dinner at Wayfair Club Oswald in 2023. It is also the same dress as worn for a reception on Dannebrog last year.

In Brazil, Mary accessorized the fine dress with brand new earrings - perhaps a gift? A closer look will show that Mary had also chosen an old ring created by talented Dulong Fine Jewelry. It appeared in her wardrobe in 2005. The diamond band is from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. She was likely to have worn heels from Malone Souliers. The clutch is still a mystery to me.

Day 1. UN Climate Conference 'COP30'

November 11, 2025

Field visit

Queen Mary has traveled to Brazil on official business attending UN's Climate Conference 'COP30'. The city of Belém will host the two-days conference.

The Queen first attended a field visit in the area around Belém. The Amazon faces many challenges, which is why she visited the production site Ilha do Combu along with researchers and various organizations to highlight the importance of our rainforests. The First Lady of the state of Pará, Daniela Lima Barbalho accompanied the Queen at the cocoa production site. 

The Queen also had the opportunity to see examples of agriculture and gastronomy during her visit.

She was one big smile when visiting the cocoa production site Ilha do Combu in Belém. That makes a rather plain outfit sunny and warm. Mary was dressed in a pair of new black trousers from Columbia and a chic dusty brown linen blouse. Not quite sure the blouse has been identified yet. Nor if she has worn it before. The braided leather belt was a great detail!

Mary stayed casual by wearing reused Ray Ban sunglasses but no outfit without a few pieces of jewellery. The stunning diamond necklace is a favorite from Louise Grønlykke and the golden bracelets are from talented Dulong Fine Jewelry. Her hiking boots are old ones from Salomon.

Official welcoming

Queen Mary was officially welcomed at the Hangar in Belém, where COP30 takes place these days. She had the honor of visiting the exhibition of COP30 as well.

The Danish business delegation traveling alongside the Queen also had the opportunity to meet Queen Mary herself. After some time at the Danish Pavilion she attended a reception on occasion of the conference.

I love the bold colors of this outfit! The beautiful green Stella McCartney blouse was everything I needed to complete the day. And just look at that magnificent printed FARM Rio skirt. Even the length is perfect. Mary first wore the blouse when visiting Ethiopia in 2019. Back then she matched it with another printed skirt from Max Mara.

Mary styled her outfit with simple black heeled sandals from Gianvito Rossi. She has a matching pair in brown leather. She had chosen fine golden earrings and a couple of bracelets from Dulong Fine Jewelry. The massive golden bangle is a creation by Rebekka Notkin and the diamond necklace is Louise Grønlykke.

I have truly missed an outfit like this. Just look at it! The silhouette is smashing. Love how she matched the stunning printed Jesper Høvring blouse with a simple a-line skirt. I have no ID on the skirt but I am pretty sure it is a new addition to wardrobe. Beautiful how the Prada belt defined her waistline.

I am still trouble about the Sophie Bille Brahe earrings. The diamond/gold combination is outstanding and works very time but the design bothers me. Apparently Mary disagrees. But they do look good with this outfit.

Mary is an honest master of finding same colors in nuance. The same goes with how she matched her new skirt and belt with the dark blue Quidam clutch. Wearing nude or beige pumps/shoes is a clever trick. Makes your legs look longer. She has used this "trick" for many years. I was just reminded how well it works.

One Health conference

November 05, 2025

When she arrived at the UN City in Copenhagen the Queen was warmly welcomed by Danish Minister for Food, Agriculture and Fisheries Jacob Jensen and Head of Department at the Danish Veterinary and Food Administration Hanne Larsen. Special Representative for the WHO Regional Office for EuropeRobb Butler also welcomed the Queen upon her arrival.

Queen Mary was about to attend the opening of the One Health conference. A conference that brings together experts from the EU. They all represent each their profession in human, animal, and environmental health. The conference was to discuss the prevention of diseases, securing of healthy food across borders and protection of the environment.

The last five years or so Mary has come to love a good old suit. I like to say that it has become her "go-to". Mary has a wide range of different suits in all colors and silhouettes. I do like her in suits but I'd love to see her wear some of her other clothes as well.

This fine suit is a new one from Andiata. She paired it with what I believe it a reused soft blue blouse. I am not able to identify it. Kinda like the color match and different fabrics combined. Mary had chosen to accessorized the outfit with beloved black ankle boots from Gianvito Rossi and her stunning brown leather handbag from Max Mara.

Her beautiful white south sea pearl ring is a masterpiece created by Dulong Fine Jewelry. It turns out that the elegant earrings are from the same designer.
