Prince Joachim's 50th birthday

07 June

Last year, Crown Prince Frederik celebrated his 50th birthday. This year his younger brother Prince Joachim celebrates his. On that occasion new photos have been published, he has been interviewed in several papers and guests from near and far were invited to celebrate him on June 7th.

Queen Margrethe hosted the celebration dinner taking place at Amalienborg Castle on Friday. Both friends and family were invited to attend the dinner. Among others, Prince Nikolaos and his wife Princess Tatiana showed up, such as Princess Alexandra and Count Michael Ahlefeldt-Laurvig-Bille. Also Countess Alexandra attended to celebrate Prince Joachim.

From closer family did the Crown Prince Couple attend accompanied by all four children - Prince Christian, Princess Isabella, Prince Vincent and Princess Josephine. All of them were in a great mood, just as the birthday-boy himself. He arrived with wife Princess Marie and his four children - Prince Nikolai, Prince Felix, Prince Henrik and Princess Athena.

Crown Prince Frederik looked handsome in a classy suit and butterfly. Both his boys perfectly matched their father in similar suits. Princess Isabella looked wonderful in a power pink laser cut dress from Ganni (similar to this, here). She also wore a really beautiful brooch. It turns out to be one first worn by her great-grandmother, Queen Alexandrine, here. Princess Josephine's blue lace dress made by Elsa Adams (here), really made her a true princess.

Meanwhile, Mary showed up in a reused Jesper Høvring creation. This beautiful floor-length was first worn at Crown Princess Victoria and Prince Daniel's big wedding in 2010, here. Back then it looked a bit different. Already a year later she had it altered into the gown we see today. I absolutely loved the dress in 2010, but the changing didn't make it worse. Since Mary last wore the gown in 2011 in Australia, here, I have wished to see her wear this stunning creation again.

She embraced the style by wearing incredible Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen earrings. All diamonds and stones in shades of green. That rather large golden bracelet on her right wrist is an old Børge Niels Knudsen piece. She first wore the bracelet when attending the Designers' Nest Show & Award in 02015, here. The little box clutch is from Judith Leiber and the golden pumps are Manolo Blahnik. A magnificent evening outfit.

The Carlsberg Foundation Research Awards 2016

Sunday, September 25th

Crown Princess Mary attended the presentation of the Carlsberg Foundation Research Awards 2016 followed by a dinner. Both events took place at Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen.


This is not the first time Crown Princess Mary attends the presentation of the Carlsberg Foundation Research Awards - and hopefully not the last. She was welcomed with flowers and handshakes. Shortly after the arrival she attended a dinner on occasion of the ceremony followed by the presentation of two awards, which were given to a scientific and a social science researcher. Along with the honor the winners are given DKK 1 million for further research. Tobias Holck and Morten Broberg are this years winner of the Carlsberg Foundation Research Awards. Congratulations to  both of them.

2016 was a bit more special because the presentation actually took place on Carlsberg Foundation's 140th anniversary. All of this celebration took place at Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek in Copenhagen as previously. So this is how Crown Princess Mary spend her Sunday afternoon - as guest of honor at a award ceremony. 

... and she strikes again. In a floral vintage inspired Marc Jacobs dress. Yellow roses is not some of my favourite, but I think I have to rethink that state of mind, at least when it comes to yellow roses as print on a dress. Lately, Mary surprised me quite a lot with what she has been wearing and this one was no excuse. Smashing shape that embraces her figure beautifully. B., Heaven and Kate told me about her new dress. The black details on the skirt makes me think of a cartoon dress (nothing bad about that). What was your first impression?

Matching the yellow theme Mary had chosen a pair of new Jewlscph earrings, here, found by Kate and her Børge Niels Knudsen vintage cuff featuring a huge diamond shaped yellow citrine. And of course the golden Cartier bracelet. Paring the outfit with shiny black Gianvito Rossi pumps and a black Sergio Rossi clutch.

Really love how dramatic her eye makeup is. She looks like a summer sunset. I wonder how this dress would look with a pair of golden or maybe even silver glitter pumps?

The INDEX: Award 2015

Thursday August, 27th

Crown Princess Mary attended the INDEX: Award 2015 ceremony in Kulturværftet, Helsingør.


Around 8:00 pm. local time, theCrown Princess arrived to Kulturværftet in Helsingør to attend the INDEX: Award 2015 Ceremony. It is certainly not the first time she attend this event. The award is given to sustainable inventions and solutions developed by both men and women. Actually, it's the biggest prize when we talk about sustainable awards in the world. This is also the reason for all the international and national guests were invited. And of course Denmark's fashion queen no. 1 was invited. It's not that often we see the Crown Princess wear sustainable clothes, but it happens. The INDEX: Award is much more than clothes and I think the Crown Princess is very interested in the latest innovative inventions. Maybe it will be useful in her work with her foundation or for some other projects. From the second she arrived and entered the building to the time when she was standing on the stage where she congratulated the winners and hosts of the show -Lilian Gjerulf Kretz and Steffen Kretz, she was the star of the show. Five winners from four continents have been found and what they have in common is to make people's lives around the world better with their design. The five winners share a sum of €500,000. Congratulations to all of them.

I have been looking to this event because of all the glamorous dresses, sparkling jewellery and stunning hairstyles. I have to admit I'm a little disappointed by her look. No evening dress, no overwhelming jewellery and no eye catching hairstyle. Non. Way too casual. Not that I don't like her look because I really do. Just not for an evening like this. What is your opinion? Her wavy hair I love more than anything and it looks like it has become darker since the opening of the psychiatric hospital a couple of days ago. One more thought about her hair; I think she had haircut. Makes her look ultra feminine with the dark eyeshadow and her brown eyes. She amazed wearing golden Marianne Dulong earrings featuring diamonds and the twisted Orit Elhanati necklace. The bangle she wore we first saw at the Designers' Nest a few weeks ago. Do you remember it? Of course you do. Pernille have been able to identify this wonderful bracelet featuring a large, yellow citrine stone. The designer is Børge Niels Knusen. Fantastic piece of work. She matched the bracelet with an old ring on the same hand. She chose to wear a black satin clutch and golden slitter Gianvito Rossi pumps which I adore pretty much. The clutch has now been identified by Kate as her Louis Vuitton. She convinced me that a printed skirt also is stylish to wear at an fashion event. Printed skirts are the new evening dress. I usually start commenting on her clothes. Today it's the other way around. Hope you don't mind. Mary chose to wear a sleeveless black blouse and a lace medium length skirt. I identified it as Ganni. I would really much like to know what you think of yesterday's outfit.

The Designers' Nest & Designers Nest Award 2015

Friday, August 7th

Crown Princess Mary attended the Designers' Nest show and handed over the prestigious Designers' Nest Award

Frederiketmary.centerblog.net 1

For a second my heart stopped when I saw the first photos from the Designers' Nest Award. I had a hard time breathing because the Crown Princess looked simply stunning. Every single component perfectly matched -classic with a twist of something modern. To me she was on the top of the game! At the arrival the Crown Princess was welcomed with a beautiful bouquet of flowers. Later, after the show, Crown Princess Mary graced the runway herself to hand over a huge bouquet to the winner Swedish Sara Lundberg from the Swedish School of Textiles. When she was photographed with Sara, she was one big smile just as the winner. The two women had a little chat. I am sure Mary congratulated Sara Lundberg with the award.


We can't overlook that she was wearing that gorgeous new long vest. They are so trendy right now. I think we will see many of them during fall. I considered to buying one myself. Now I might actually do it. Mary convinced me with hers which has been identified as a Fonnesbech (SS15) creation. This is the first time we see her in their design. I really cannot describe why I like this new vest so much, but Mary with her brown hair wear it so beautifully. Notice the orange belt and lining. What a stunning detail. Maybe you think you have seen both the vest and the combination Mary wore at the Designers' Nest; you are actually on to something. One of my most dedicated readers told me a very interesting thing. Back in 2014 Mary was on an official visit in Canada with Frederik. Here she attended a fashion arrangement on September 18th accompanied by a woman with the name Eva Kruse. She is the CEO of the fashion industry network organization Danish Fashion Institute and the Copenhagen Fashion Week. Eva Kruse wore, on September 18th, the exact same vest as Mary in the combination with white trousers and blouse. You see a picture of Eva in her Fonnesbech vest on the picture right below. Because of the plain white clothes underneath the vest, both Mary and Eva both looked way taller. It's a great contrast. Take a quick look at Mary's trousers; love that she isn't not just wearing normal straight trousers. These JOSEPH trousers gives the outfit something special.


Carefully, I've studied every picture I have to see if Mary wore any kind of bag or clutch. I realized, she wasn't. This is the second time in a very short time. She accessorized her outfit with two golden necklaces -one from Orit Elhanati and one from Marianne Dulong. Mary has worn these two a lot lately. A great match. If you just need to have one yourself and can't afford a real Marianne Dulong, then I have this, here, to show you. Sent to me be a reader who love it as much as I do. It's a great match. Her earrings are from Marlene Juhl-Jørgensen. Again a bracelet or two from Anni Lu and Charlotte Wæhrens on the right hand and a brand new golden cuff featuring a huge diamond shaped stone. I was asked if it was a watch or a bracelet -differently a bracelet. My best reader Pernille has now found the right one. It's a vintage bracelet in 14k gold with a large citrine stone from the Danish jewellery designer Børge Niels Knudsen. The gold and silver diamond rings are both from Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen. She stunned also wearing studded Valentino shoes.
