Mary's golden gown was just as magical as the banquet! The gown is a creation by Jesper Høvring. It goes back to 2016 and was first worn on a new portrait of her by photographer Marco Grob. Since then, the gown has been altered a number of times. It was first altered in 2022 in honor of Queen Margrethe's 50th anniversary as Queen of Denmark. Then again in 2024 and now for the banquet. I'm curious to hear which one you favor. The beautiful lace-work is tailored by Lasse Spangenberg.

Her shiny tiara is the altered rose-cut diamond necklace belonging to Queen Lovisa. Mary had it created into this stunning tiara in 2024. It hadn't been worn for more than 100 years when Mary brought back its shine. The stunning diamond earrings are pear-shaped pendants from the Danish Crown Diamond Parure paired with studs inherited from Queen Juliane Marie.

She accessorized the beautiful evening outfit with a reused Judith Leiber clutch and satin pumps from Gianvito Rossi.

Mary looked great in her stunning orange Max Mara coat! Love it when she wears colorful clothings like this beautiful coat. Mary first wore the coat when visiting Holstebro to celebrate the city's 750th anniversary in 2024. We even had a glimpse of what she was wearing underneath. Turns out to be her Oscar de la Renta dress. It is the same dress that she wore on Christmas Eve in 2021.

The elegant white pearl earrings are rather new ones from Dulong Fine Jewelry but she already worn a number of times. Her black Mulberry handbag was a great addition to the classy outfit. The Prada boots we haven't seen in quite awhile. I love that she bring back all these old accessories.

Grey wide-legged trousers and a simple turtleneck jumper. What is not to like. I kinda fancy the light grey trousers with a darker top. The Harris Wharf London coat made it even more stylish. Mary accessorized the outfit with matching reused heeled boots. I have never been able to identify them. Maybe one day.

Her fine black leather handbag is the same worn as the previous day. It is from Mulberry. Looks great with the black leather gloves. The diamond earrings are from Sophie Bille Brahe.

What's on the agenda?

December 19, 2025

The Mary Foundation's board-members met one last time before Christmas to discuss next years' agenda. They summed up the work of 2025 and talked about the foundation's 20th anniversary in 2027.

They also welcomed Klaus Dallerup and Michael Vad as new members of the board.

This time I REALLY wish we had more photos. I'd love to see her full outfit because the detailing of her blouse are smashing. Reminds me of another one from of hers but I can't seem to find it. Think she could have been wearing matching black trousers.

She wore a rather new Christmas brooch from Bohemehjem. It truly caught the world's attention when she first wore it when visiting Ungeherberget Sporsløjfen. The earrings earrings and rings were a wonderful addition to the rest of the outfit. So was the custom-made black South Sea pearl ring from Dulong Fine Jewelry.

Christmas reception at Christiansborg

December 18, 2025

King Frederik and Queen Mary hosted a Christmas reception at Christiansborg Castle for the Royal Household's employees and close partners. The gathering of 450 guests took place in the prestiges Knight's Hall.

Crown Prince Christian, Princess Isabella, Prince Vincent and Queen Margrethe also attended the reception.

Wish we had more photos from the Christmas reception at Christiansborg because Mary looked absolutely stunning in that new Rebecca Vallance dress! The color is splendid and the embellished collar is a great twist. The design is beautifully simple and the details are fantastic.

Mary embraced the style of her new dress with whiny diamond bracelet - one of them is from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen, and simple black suede pumps. I have nothing bad to say about this outfit. I adore the fact that she painted her nails in that warm red color. What is not to like?

A look back at 2025 with the Mary Foundation

December 18, 2025

“Christmas is just around the corner, and a new year is soon to come. It gives us an opportunity to take a look back at the year that has passed. There will be both bright and less bright moments." - Queen Mary

The Queen took the opportunity to look back at another year with the Mary Foundation. What has happened the past year, achievements and what's the focus in 2026.

From what she is wearing I guess the new photos were taken when she hosted a Christmas reception at Frederik VIII's Palace earlier this month. The reception is a tradition guested by the Mary Foundation's partners.

Mary wore a beautiful jumper from Chloé and a crazy satin leopard midi skirt. I never ever thought Mary would be wearing a leopard printed skirt - till she did. I am not sure it's my kinda style but it looks great with the jumper.

I'm amazed by her new blue beaded necklace! It's a stunning creation and looks perfect with the two-tone earrings. Both earrings and necklace are unidentified.

The presentation of two new awards

December 15, 2025

Queen Mary arrived at the Opera in Copenhagen to attend the presentation of the Ministry of Education and Research two new awards.

The Into Change Award is to honor European researchers in the highest level. It goes to researchers who distinguished themselves through exceptional research. Queen Mary handed over the award to the ENGRAVE collaboration.

Along with Minister of Education and Research Christina Egelund, the Queen also presented the Into Innovation Award. It is awarded to a Danish entrepreneur who find themselves turning knowledge into innovation solutions.

Mary had chosen an elegant black velvet suit and paired it with a fine black satin blouse. I'm not quite sure I fancy the combination of fabrics but I like the intention of something dramatic like velvet and satin. Think we have seen the suit before. Do you like velvet suits?

Because of the satin blouse, I really like that she matched it with those Gianvito Rossi pumps. Always loved the shape of Rossi's pumps. So elegant and classy.

Lately, she has been wearing old goodies. Accessories we haven't seen for years. The same goes with the clutch that she carried with her at the award show. It is an old one from Ralph Lauren. Only worn ones before in 2012. The stunning diamond earrings are from an Bruun Rasmussen auction from a few years back.
