New Year Reception

- Christians VII's Palace, Christian VIII's Palace & Christiansborg


Januar 05, 2026

King Frederik and Queen Mary hosted three New Year Reception at Christians VII's Palace, Christian VIII's Palace and Christiansborg.

The first one was in honor of the Justices of the Supreme Court and the officer corps of the Royal Life Guard and Guard Hussar Regiment. Then followed a reception at Christian VIII's Palace for mayors and regional council chairmen.

Later that day, the royal couple hosted the third New Year Reception for the diplomatic corps' heads of mission, heads of reception from the Faroe Islands and Greenland, and side-accredited ambassadors. All spouses were also invited to the reception at Christiansborg.

The first thing that came to me when I saw Mary in that new blue velvet suit was Queen Margrethe. She loved to wear a specific blue set when she used to host the New Year receptions. It also reminded me of her stunning midnight-blue gown worn in 2006 for the New Year's Eve Banquet. Her beautiful new suit is tailored by talented Jesper Høvring. The color looks good on her!

Mary embraced the smashing velvet with white pearl earrings belonging to the Danish Pearl Poiré Parure. The pearl ring matched perfectly. It is mastered by Dulong Fine Jewelry. I love that she chose a clutch is the same color as the rest of her outfit but I'm not sure the Quidam leather clutch was the right one. What do you think? A bit too plain for the occasion.

I am not able to identify her shoes from the photos I have seen. Looks like a simple pair of round-toed suede pumps worn with thick black tights.
