Day 2. Official State Visit to Lithuania


January 29, 2026

Queen Mary looked amazing in her long woolen skirt and soft bordeaux blouse when spending yet another day in Lithuania. She first wore the Max Mara skirt last year when visiting Latvia. Back then she also matched the beautiful skirt with the color of bordeaux. In Lithuania, Mary embraced the look wearing a brand new The Fold London blouse.

The Presidential Couple accompanied the King and Queen when they paid a vist at the Danish-Lithuanian business forum and later at the wreath-laying ceremony at Antakalnis Cemetery. At the cemetery, Mary stayed warm in a reused coat from Uniqlo and a beautiful green Harris Wharf London coat.

Later in the afternoon, the royal couple visited the NBA Basketball School in Vilnius. They joined a training session and for that Mary had changed to a lovely navy blue turtleneck and black Gianvito Rossi boots. Here we also got a better look at her diamond earrings from Sophie Bille Brahe and golden Dulong Fine Jewelry ring. It also showed the best of the brown Celine belt.

I'm sure you noticed her changing boots along they way. The soft light brown boots are old ones from Valentino. My all-time favorite boots of hers.

Official Opening of "Friends in Need"

What is not to like? Mary won my vote for best-dressed at the official opening of the "Friends in Need"-exhibition. They Presidential Couple joined the King and Queen at the opening at the National Library of Lithuania. The exhibition is in honor of the friendship between Denmark and Lithuania.

Mary wore the most beautiful white Andiata suit paired with a reused dusty pink blouse which (unfortunately) has never been identified. The combination of colors and materials are exquisite. The soft curly hairdo added an extra glimpse of glamour to her look. So did the smashing new Julie Sandlau earrings. I'm pretty sure she wore a ring as well but I'm not sure which one.

When the couple arrived at the National Library of Lithuania Mary (once again) wore her fine Harris Wharf London coat. She completed the outfit with stunning beige pointed Prada pumps.

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.

Day of Research's 20th anniversary


23 April 2025

Queen Mary was guest of honor at the 20th anniversary celebration of Day of Research. The event took place Wednesday evening with an event at Nørrebro Theatre in Copenhagen.

The event honored two decades of science and knowledge and highlighted how climate changes, AI and living conditions can shape our society and planet in the future all the way to 3025.



I have only been able to find a few photos of Mary from her arriving Nørrebro Theatre. They show a beautifully dressed Queen wearing a reused Andiata suit and a fine black v-neck blouse. I'm pretty sure the blouse is also a reuse. Like how she matched the soft color of the suit with those Gianvito Rossi python pumps and the checkered clutch. Mary has worn the clutch for a number of different occasions but it has never been identified. It goes to be Prada but I'm not sure.

What interest me most is her earrings. The one thing we can't see. Looks like Rose Quartz pendants. From what I have seen, I think they are brand new.

Day 2. Official state visit to Finland


05 March 2025

King Frederik and Queen Mary are on an official state visit to Finland these days by invitation of Finland's President Alexander Stubb.

They first accompanied each other for a visit at EMMA - Espoo Museum of Modern Art were they were given a guided tour around the museum. Then followed a visit at the Arkki School of Architecture for Children and Youth.

The couple also paid a visit the Aalto University and the Porkkala Garrison in Upinniemi. In between these two visits the royal couple attended a seminar about green financing followed by a business lunch.



Wish she would have worn another color coat. Don't think this bright color stands well with a soft grey. What are your thoughts? Princess Isabella has been seen wearing the Dolce & Gabbana coat at a premiere in Tivoli in 2024. Likely she borrowed it from her mother. I think Isabella wore it better.

Mary had chosen a reused embellished Prada jumper and wide-legged JOSEPH trousers. I kinda like the monochrome vibe. Looks great with her fair skin and brown hair. During the day she added a new navy blue down coat from Uniqlo.

A closer look revealed that she wore earrings that comes with a very special background. They belonged to Queen Margrethe and was a gift for Mary around 2012. Her ring matched perfect in color.

She topped off the look with a black leather handbag from Mulberry and midi heeled boots in grey suede. Mary has worn them before but I am still not sure if they correct designer has been found.

Reciprocal arrangement

In the evening King Frederik and Queen Mary hosted a reciprocal arrangement in Finlandia Hall with the Finnish President and his spouse Mrs. Innes-Stubb as guests of honor. Denmark's ambassador to Findland, Jakob Nymann-Lindegren also attended the arrangement along with other ministers.

King Frederik gave a finial speech with a thanks to the Presidential couple for their kind invitation.



This is not the first chalky white suits Mary has in her closet but this one has never been seen before - except from the trousers. The suit is from Finnish Andiata. Mary first wore the trousers in Paris on occasion of the official opening of the Olympic Games in 2024. At the reciprocal arrangement she wore the trousers with its matching blazer and vest.

Mary embraced the style with stunning golden earrings and a necklace from Dulong Fine Jewelry. She has the same earrings studded with diamonds but I am pretty sure it is the first time she wears a pair without any diamonds. The yellow diamond ring has been seen on a number of previous occasions.

The white pearl clutch from Anya Hindmarch and those golden leather pumps from Malone Souliers are a wonderful addition to a great outfit.

Day 2.

The Olympic Games 2024


26 July 2024

Visiting the Danish Athletes

Before attending the official opening ceremony, the King and Queen visited the Danish Athletes in the olympic city in Paris

The Danish Athletes are amongst 14,000 others participants who are about to compete different sports from today till August 11th.

King Frederik and Queen Mary joined the athletes for lunch.

Once again, Mary had chosen a red and white outfit! What's not to be proud of? Yesterday, when the couple arrived in Paris, Mary also wore the most magnificent red Max Mara jumpsuit and a white linen blazer

Today, when visiting the participating Danish Athletes in the olympic city she stunned wearing a simple white dress or blouse and skirt. I believe she wore a dress. The chic red blazer is designed by Vero Moda which has created costumes for the Danish Athletes alongside with Jack & Jones. Both Danish brands.

Mary embraced the style with golden earrings from Orit Elhanati and necklaces from Halberstadt and Dulong Fine Jewelry. Two of her bracelets are also designs by Dulong Fine Jewelry. The diamond ring is a beloved one from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

How to make this outfit even better? - no problem. With a brown Chloe leather bag and matching heeled sandals from Gianvito Rossi.

Official opening ceremony

What we have all been waiting for: the official opening ceremony! What a crazy experience it most have been for the couple and all the other attending the big ceremony. Imagine what went thought the participants participating the opening.

The King and Queen also attended a reception hosted by the President of France Emmanuel Macron and his wife Brigitte Macron. The reception took place at the Palais de lÈlysées.

A number of other royal guest were also invited to the reception - and the opening ceremony. The King and Queen of Spain, King Philippe and Queen Mathilda of Belgium, Prince Albert and Princess Charlene of Monaco and the lest goes on.



I truly adore Mary's outfit at the reception: a brand new Jesper Høvring blouse and stunning new white Andiata trousers. A thin brown leather belt from Scanlan & Theodore. Nevertheless, I think it was a bit too informal for the event. Looking at what all the other royal women were wearing I think Mary's was a little plain. What do you think? 

Mary also wore a new trenchcoat but this I do not recognize. Think it could be new.

Her beautiful golden diamond studded earrings are from Dulong Fine Jewelry such as two of three necklaces. The third one is Halberstadt. Do you like wearing multiple necklaces? I like it but it does not suit me very well.

At the reception, Mary used her brown Chloe bag as clutch. Think it is the first time we have seen that. Maybe another clutch would have made the outfit slightly more exclusive for the occasion?

The red rivet pumps are an iconic design by Valentino.

Flag Day 2023


05 September 2023

Every day, thousands of Danish soldiers are send abroad on missions to fight for a better and more secure world. To help those in need who live in daily fear. Many of them because of war.

September 5th has become a day of celebrating these soldiers. To recognized their efforts, honor them and their families. Not least, to honor those we lost in a fight.

Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary attended a parade at Kastellet in honor of the Danish soldiers. They also brought with them a very special wreath in memory of fallen soldiers.

Later on, they attended a church service in Holmens Church and a memorial ceremony at Christiansborg.



Mary had chosen a stunning outfit when celebrating Flag Day 2023. She wore an old black Hugo Boss blouse and a reused floral printed Andiata skirt styled with a Celine belt. I adore the silhouette of this look. So elegant. Casual, yet delicate.

She embraced her outfit of honor with a wide-brimmed Susanne Juul hat and matching dusty pink flower. The hat is also a reuse. The beautiful white pearl earrings I once identified as Christian Dior. Looked magnificent with her customized Dulong Fine Jewelry bracelet. Just look at those large white pearls! Actually, Mary was wearing two Dulong Fine Jewelry bracelets and a single diamond ring from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen.

As other accessoires, she wore dazzling Gianvito Rossi patent leather pumps and a beloved satin box clutch from Bottega Veneta. Think it is one of her most beloved clutches.

The Psychiatry Foundation's 25th anniversary

02 November

Over the years, Crown Princess has become the proud patron of a number of different foundations and organizations. One of them is the Psychiatry Foundation. This year, they celebrate their 25th anniversary and as patron, Crown Princess Mary was invited to attend the big day.

She arrived to the Psychiatry Foundation's facilities in Copenhagen, where the anniversary event was about to take place. At the arrival, she was welcomed by Chairman of the Psychiatry Foundation Torsten Bjørn Jacobsen and the foundation's CEO Marianne Skjold.

The Crown Princess gave a speech on the occasion of the 25th anniversary.

I want to wear a pink and grey outfit right away. Mary convinced my that this is the ultimate colormatch this Fall. The lovely bobble-gum pink coat is from Andiata. She first wore it, when she attended the Global Network of Women's Shelters' Conference in 2015 (here). It is indeed a really beautiful coat. Mary matched the stunning coat with a similar colored Hugo Boss blouse and a brand new grey midi skirt. I have not yet been able to identify her new skirt.

Mary is truly a master, when it comes to picking the right accessories for her outfits. So did she at the anniversary event for the Psychiatry Foundation. Those powder pink Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings are a really fine choice. Such as the golden Orit Elhanati necklace and the two golden rings from Dulong Fine Jewelry.

Another clever choice is the fact that she embraced the style with new grey suede Gianvito Rossi pumps and a Quidam leather clutch. I am stunned how her new pumps and skirt match in color. That is almost crazy.

WHO Regional Committee for Europe (RC71)

13 September

Crown Princess Mary is truly dedicated to her patronages. Every single one of time. The last couple of years, she has been really committed to her work as patron of the WHO Regional Committee for Europe. On monday, she participated yet another event with the committee. More specifically, WHO Regional Committee for Europe RC71. The meeting took place in the UN-City in Copenhagen and due to the pandemic, the meeting was held virtually.

The Crown Princess was "accompanied" by, among others, Ministers of Health and representatives from all 53 members states in WHO Regional Committee for Europe. The meeting was all about health issues and how to process them in a better direction.

WHO Regional Director for Europe Dr Hans Henri P. Kluge and WHO Director Genereal Dr Tedros Adhamom Gebreyesus both spoke at the gathering. So did the Crown Princess. She gave the opening speech (here).

Mary was indeed looking good at the meeting in the UN-City. She was dressed in a reused suit from Andiata. The color is really stunning. I always loved it. In genereal you know I love suits, but this color is so nice. It is called rose cloud by the designer and I get why. Think the blouse is an old one too, but it has never been identified. At least not what I know of. But the details are so beautiful. Looks really good with the suits!

She embraced the professional outfit with golden diamond earrings from Sophie Bille Brahe and her beloved Cartier bangle. There is also an Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen diamond band next to her other diamond ring. This second ring has somehow replaced her wedding and engagement rings. To me it looks like she was wearing a few other rings as well, but the lack of photos makes it hard for me to tell more about them.

The Prada leather bag is almost exact same color as her suit. What a detail. I absolutely love, when Mary pair clothes and accessories from different designers in the very same color. Gianvito Rossi is the creator of those magnificent suede pointed pumps.

The Social Capital Foundation's 10-year anniversary

24 August

Since 2007, Crown Princess Mary has represented the Mary Foundation and worked on its behalf. On Tuesdays, she attended The Social Capital Foundation's 10th anniversary along with the Mary foundation. The foundation celebrated the big day with an anniversary conference.

The Social Capital Foundation has invested in companies and organisations, who work to solves social issues, since 2011.

Chairman of the Board Peter Engberg Jensen and Leading Partner of the Social Capital Foundation Lars Jannick Johansen also attended the 10th anniversary conference. They two of them warmly welcomed Crown Princess Mary when she arrived to the big event.

As guest of honor, the Crown Princess had prepared a speech. She gave her sincere words to the Social Capital Foundation and praised their hard work to find solutions to solve some of the many social issues we battle today - for instance solitude. Judging by her smiles, I guess the Crown Princess was truly happy to attend the conference.

Lately, we have seen some pretty amazing outfits. When attending the Social Capital Foundation's 10th anniversary conference, Mary showed up wearing one incredible outfit - again. She wore her old Hugo Boss blouse featuring the most beautiful neckline with a reused floral printed midi skirt from Andiata all belted with a braided Gucci belt. Mary first wore this stunning skirt at the inauguration of Aabybro school near Aalborg in 2016 (here).

When entering the stage, Mary used her Tom Ford glasses. At that time, we also got a closer look at her golden Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings. She has them in two different sizes and it seems like she loves them quite a lot. A tiny glimpse revealed her two golden necklace from Orit Elhanati and Dulong Fine Jewelry. Once again, Mary embraced the style by wearing three of her beloved bracelets. One from Cartier matched with a Dulong Fine Jewelry bangle and the a Rebekka Notkin creation. A really nice combo.

That soft grey, rosy Prada tote bag has become a favourite of hers. For years, Mary has worn it a similar events. Like when she attended a Free of Bullying seminar in 2015 (here) and at RC69 - WHO Regional Committee for Europe in 2019 (here). The same goes with the powder pink patent leather pumps from Gianvito Rossi.

Healthcare Denmark's Ambassador Summit 2019

27th September

It was a proud and honored patron of Healthcare DENMARK, who arrived to the Ambassador Summit 2019. The Crown Princess was in a splendid mood when she arrived. She was warmly welcomed by representatives from the organization. The summit took place at the Kennedy Centre in Glostrup.

Healthcare DENMARK is a non-profit-organization. They develops visit programs to foreign decision-makers and press delegations. The programs aim to show the Danish healthcare system and how its innovative solutions works.

As patron the Crown Princess entered the stage and gave a speech on the occasion of the summit. Her speech has only generated positive comments and it is fully understandable. She is strong with words She was also given a guided four around one of their laboratories. To me it seems like she was in her right element - listening, learning and sharing.

Det Danske Kongehus ● Billed Bladet ● Daily Mail ● Frederik et Mary



Attending the Ambassador Summit with Healthcare DENMARK, Mary was beautifully dress in one of her amazing creamy white suits. Both blazer and matching trousers are from Andiata. She has worn this suits on several occasions - both as a suit, but also the blazer on its own with dresses. The white pleated blouse is also a reuse. So far I have not been able to identify who the designer is. Do you know anything about her blouse? Other than it looks absolutely great on her. What caught my attention most about her wearing the suit, is that fact that she radiated like a white star next to all the other black suited participants of the summit. Love it.

Mary embraced the chic style with stunning pearl pendant earrings. They are from Dulong Fine Jewelry and have replaceable pendants. Mary has already worn these earrings with a lot of different pendants in a lot of lovely colors. From the same designer she also wore a multicolor golden bracelet. I also see a diamond ring, but I am not quite sure which one it is.

The simple light colored clutch in crocodile is from 1602. They proudly shared the information of her wearing their clutch on both Facebook and Instagram, here. I love the fact that she manages to find a clutch that match her outfit with such perfection. She had chosen to wear reused python pointed pumps from Gianvito Rossi. What an outfit.

Flag Day 2019

05 September

September 5th is a very special day for a lot of people. It is the official Flag Day for Danish soldiers abroad fighting for a better world. Both people that are in war areas and those who have been on a mission, are honor by this annual event. Since 2009 the event has taken place with a wreath laying at Kastellet, a church service in Holmens Church and with a ceremonial parade at the castle square at Christiansborg.

Both Crown Prince Frederik and Crown Princess Mary attended all three ceremonial honors of the Danish soldiers. Each year is emotional. So was this year. Especially Crown Princess Mary showed a few tears of compassion. I imagine the atmosphere is not really to describable. I have never experienced it myself, but I am sure it is a something you have to experience to tell.

Personally I am impressed and honor that a rather small country as Denmark is able to make an annual event like this. It is with great pride I represent Denmark as Dane. Thanks to those who arranged Flag Day - it makes all of us proud. That is also why I think the Crown Prince Couple gladly attend every year.



Attending the event in Copenhagen, Crown Prince Frederik was dressed in his black uniform with matching gloves, orderer, a hat and polished shoes. Next to him, he had his lovely wife. She was looking gorgeous in a brand new dusty white double-breasted jacket. Several designers crossed my ming, but Heaven managed to find her new jacket at non the less than Alexander McQueen. I absolutely love everything about this new piece. The buttons, sleeves, peplum illusion, collar, etc. She matched it with a reused floral printed midi skirt from Andiata. A wonderful piece to show that summer is not over yet.

As accessories, Mary had chosen a wide-brimmed hat from milliner Susanne Juul. Actually she had the same model in both purple and beige as well. This black one is perfect for the occasion. She embraced the style by also wearing nude leather gloves, a Naledi Copenhagen clutch in the same color and power pink pointed pumps from Gianvito Rossi. All reused pieces worn on numerous occasions.

I spotted both a diamond ring from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and old diamond earrings, which I strongly believe is from Hartmann's. It is their style but nothing is proven yet. We also get a glimpse of a golden bracelet first worn recently. Duong Fine Jewelry is the creator.

New buildings and TrygFonden's Family House

17 June

Inauguration at Skejby Hospital

About half a year ago in November, the Crown Princess was going to inaugurate new buildings at Skejby Hospital. Later that same day she was about to inaugurate a new TrygFonden Family House. But shortly before she should have arrived, she canceled because her flight was canceled.

Crown Princess Mary keeps her words. So on Monday, she arrived to Skejby Hospitel to see the new buildings. They include playsgrunds, courtyards, places for different activities and facilities for psychiatry. There are rooms for more than 250 patients.

The Crown Princess was warmly welcomed at her arrival. She was one big smile and a happy spirit. During the visit at the new buildings at Skejby, she met both patients and workers. With great patience and commitment Crown Princess Mary sat down on a chair and listned. She was also given a guided tour around the facilities. Often she's described warmhearted and must important, she is in the moment. Even though the Crown Princess often speaks with people who have a hard time in life, she manages to get them to talk; to tell their story to her. That's my guess why she's admired wordwide.




TrygFonden's Family House

Later in the afternoon, Crown Princess Mary then payed a visit to TrygFonden's new Family House in Hammel. Back in November last year, she was suppose to have inaugurated the new facility, but it was canceled at the last minute. Instead the Crown Princess showed up on Monday, June 17th.

Her smile was sincere, as was her commitment when visiting seven-year-old Albert and his family. They stayed in one of TrygFonden's Family Houses because little Albert gone through a course of treatment at Hammel Neuro Center. It was a wonderful sight to follow her meeting with the family. Coffee and lemonade were served, and experiences were shared.

When visiting the Family House, Crown Princess Mary was also given a tour to see the buildings, and she met with both staff and volunteers. The royal house also shared that the Crown Princess met the therapy group Gaia, and with Luna Smile. She's the hospital clown, who makes life a bit easier and more funny for admitted children at the hospital.




Both when visiting the psychiatry's new buildings at Skejby Hospital and visiting the Family House in Hammel Mary was beautifully dresses. She had chosen a brand new silky blouse identified by Heaven as Hugo Boss. I imagine it worn with a pair of simple trousers or maybe a pencil skirt. Very suitable for the occasions. To make things a bit more fresh and summery Mary embraced the style with her floral printed midi skirt from Andiata. I can't help myself from getting in a great mood whenever she's wearing that lovely skirt. Looks stunning on her. The little belt (which is a perfect detail to show her smal waistline) is very likely from Céline.

Mary also embraced the style with quiet a lot of jewellery. The beautiful pink drop earrings goes way back in time and are from Dulong Fine Jewelry. They are called 'Delphis'. She wore a large number of bracelets: a golden one from Cartier, two others from Dulong Fine Jewelry (possibly three) and one I believe is from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen, here. She topped off this incredible look with soft curly hair and light colored Gianvito Rossi pumps. Actually, Mary did bring with her a bag. 

Her lovely leather handbag from Prada. I also noticed that she wore a diamond ring made by Dulong Fine Jewelry instead of her wedding/engangment ring. Did you notice that to? The other simple golden ring is also from Dulong Fine Jewelry, which makes me wonder if the white pearl ring is also their design. And then let me know what you liked most about this outfit.

Opening of the Danish Parliament 2018

Tuesday, October 2nd

It is that time a year: the annual opening of the Danish Parliament. Every year, the first Tuesday in October, members of the Parliament (officially) come back from vacation. It is also time to inaugurate a new year for Folketinget. All that is celebrated with a grand opening at Christiansborg Castle in Copenhagen. Half of the castle act like home for the Danish Parliament and the other half is room for gala dinners, state visits, etc. As a tradition the Danish royal family was also invited to attend the opening.

First Princess Benedikte arrived to Christiansborg, shortly followed by Prince Joachim and Princess Marie. Then the Crown Prince couple arrived and last Queen Margrethe was welcomed. All four women were welcomed with beautiful bouquet of flowers. The family greeted with kisses and smiles.

Everybody raises for the Queen when she finds her seat on the balcony next to her oldest son. Surrounded by her two sons, both daughters-in-law and her sister the Queen watched the opening of the Parliament 2018.




Annual events are always something I look forward to. Makes a great possibility to compare outfits. I can't help myself from comparing Mary's outfit from yesterday with previous looks. Honestly I had expected something completely else. More like the outfit worn by her sister-in-law. Knee-length coat, pointed pumps and some kind of fancy hat. That is not what we got.

Instead Mary was wearing a brand new tweed skirt, black double breasted jacket and matching accessories. What caught my eyes first is by no doubt her new skirt. I was not the only one (hysterically) trying to identify the designer. I had different brands in mind. Non of them matched. Late last night I learned from Heaven that Le style de Mary, here, had managed to find what everybody else was looking for. Mary's new skirt is from Oscar de la Renta. Do you like it?

As mentioned, she matched the skirt with a before unseen double breasted jacket. A reader shared its identity with my - it is from Andiata (collection: AW18) She embraced the style by wearing a couple of black accessories. First we have a velvet hat made by milliner Susanne Juul (it has been confirmed by the designer herself), an expensive leather clutch from Quidam and classy black heels from Gianvito Rossi. Somehow I do not recall if we have seen these pumps before or if they could be new. She has so many pairs of black pumps that I have a hard time recalling all of them.

She also accessorized her look with ruby earrings, diamond rings from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and a golden Dulong Fine Jewelry bracelet. Such as the beautiful diamond necklace from Tiffany. What a treat.

Day 1. Official visit to Finland

Thursday, September 13th

A couple of weeks ago the Crown Prince had a back surgery due to a discusprolapse, this is why his wife has taken over a few jobs for him. So now the Crown Princess is visiting Finland all officially on occasion of a business promotion. You do not hear me complain; we welcome a promotion visit with gratitude, right?

She arrived to Helsinki around noon in a great spirit and was warmly welcomed with red and white flags, smiles and lots of happy children. What a sight to see. The Major of Helsinki, Jan Vapaavuori also welcomed the Crown Princess at the arrival. After the official welcoming ceremony at the City Hall in Helsinki Crown Princess Mary attended multiple meetings and several lunches. Among other she participated 'Urban Solutions in the Nordic area' and a seminar in Store Enso Headquarter. Crown Princess Mary also attended en exhibition called 'Urban Living Room Exhibition' and participated 'New Nordic Food' event where it is all about food. So many interesting and fascinating events.

During her trip she is accompanied by Danish Minister of Environment and Food, Jakob Ellemann-Jensen. Don't think the two of them as traveled along before, but they seem to get along very well. All day she seemed in an excellent mood - always with a smile on her face




I am completely overwhelmed by what she wore - a brand new, rose coloured suit from Andiata (collection: AW18). The designer also posted the news about her wearing their suits, here. Mary has worn their designes a couple of times before and I think you loved it as much as I did. What do you think about this piece? Personally I have a thing about suits. Women look great wearing a suit. Both plain in colour and printed. I just invested in a suit myself. A navy blue one with small dots.

Mary looks so comfortable in her new rose coloured suit. Every little detail is exquisite. I am a great admirer of Andiata creating such a wonderful suit. She styled her suit with white accessories - a new white pleated blouse, pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a creamy white handbag from Prada. The bag is an old piece that still looks absolutely great. Mary also embraced the outfit by wearing other jewellery from Dulong Fine Jewelry and her golden Cartier bangle.

Matching the rest of the outfit she also wore white, suede pumps. I strongly believe they are from Gianvito Rossi. Right now I am not sure if we have seen them before, but I don't think so. To me they look new. I can't hide my excitement. Everything about this look is incredible. It is sophisticated, chic and perfectly suitable for the occasion.

Next to her Cartier bangle she is wearing yet another golden bracelet. I have not been able to find a clear closeup, but I have an idea that it is a new design from Dulong Fine Jewelry. Take a look and tell me what you think.

Her first day in Helsinki, Finland, has been really busy. She arrived around noon to the capital city where she was welcomed by the major and lots of happy children. The Crown Princess attended several different events as part of her visit, which she had taken over from her husband. Among other things she visited 'Urban Living Room Exhibition' and helped prepare a meal at 'New Nordic Food' event. Her day wasn't over yet.

In the evening she arrived to attend an official dinner in Helsinki on occasion of her visit. The dinner took place at Finlanda Hall. It was as guest of honor she attended the dinner, along with numbers Danish and Finnish politicians, entrepreneurs etc. The Crown Princess looked great at the arrival and was one big smile. As she was welcomed with a handshake; she welcomed other guests with a handshake as well.



Attending dinner abroad as part of an official visit takes a good-looking outfit. I don't know what I had expected to see, but differently not this. She embraced a rather simple evening look by wearing a few reused pieces. The black blouse has been seen back in 2014 at a gala dinner in Copenhagen, here. At that time she wore it with her Jayson Brunsdon skirt. In Finland Mary had chosen to wear the blouse with her green jacquard Hennes & Mauritz skirt - the one that was altered from dress to skirt. Do you recall it? She wore it at 'Copenhagen Fashion Summit 2018' with a white button-down, here. I prefer it with the white shirt.

Dinner time in Helsinki. Mary embraced the style wearing large diamond earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a green emerald ring from Annikat. Nor about the little black box clutch which has been identified as Sergio Rossi awhile ago. Gianvito Rossi designed her magnificent mesh pumps. Can't get enough of them. The bracelet goes way back but has never been found.

Comes to hair and makeup; I am a bit surprised to see her wear such a strong coloured lipgloss. Usually she wears lighters berry colours. This one is much darker. Do you like that on her? I do.
