Day 2. Official state visit to Latvia

October 29th, 2025

King Frederik and Queen Mary arrived in Riga yesterday to attend an official state visit to Latvia. 

The state visit marks the beginning of the Royal Couple's travels to the three Baltic countries and focuses on the close cooperation between Denmark and Latvia in culture, security and common European values.

Before a visit at the Ādaži Military Base the couple paid a visit to the Ādaži Gymnasium. The King and Queen met class students engaged in a mandatory educational course on national defence.

Around noon the couple visited the Danish military base Camp Valdemar. It house around 700 Danish soldiers. Some of them got the opportunity to meet the royal couple.

I'm not quite sure this is my "all-time favorite" outfit of hers but I adore the combination of colors and different materials. Wool and leather are a great match. Mary wore a brand new Massimo Dutti jacket over a reused down vest from Uniqlo and a plum turtleneck. The elegant wool skirt is a new one from Max Mara. The cool leather belt is from Max Mara too.

If we look a little closer we'll find her wearing golden Dulong Fine Jewellery earrings and a matching golden bangle featuring diamonds. We also got a glimpse of her beloved Cartier watch. It has followed her for many years.

Mary also embraced the outfit with matching leather gloves and chic black leather boots from Gianvito Rossi.

Reception

In the afternoon, King Frederik and Queen Mary hosted a reception at the Latvian National Museum of Art. Guests invited represented the Danish-Latvian relations and cooperation within defence, politics, culture and trade.

Somehow I had high hopes for a dress for the evening event but Mary chose a bright green suit from Alberta Ferreti and black accessories. I'm glad she chose a colorful suit and not just a black one. Makes it a bit more exciting. Especially because of the green jewellery.

The stunning green emerald and diamond earrings are purchased at an Bruun Rasmussen auction. The brooch looks very similar in style but she has indeed never worn this brooch before. I'm so curious to know. Can you enlighten me? Her fine ring is a creation by Annikat. Once again she wore Gianvito Rossi shoes. Black patent leather pumps.

"Kongeparrets Priser: De Udvalgte"

October 27, 2025

For many years the royal couple have personally visited and met with winners of the Crown Prince Couple's Awards. These interviews are usually part of the final award show.

This year the interviews with film director Christina Rosendahl, Code of Care and Grønne Nabofællesskaber have been released on prior to the tv show. Both shows are also broadcasted on Danish television on November 1st and on DR TV.

Shop the look: introduction

The couple shortly introduced the interviews with a few words clearly recorded at Frederik VIII's Palace at Amalienborg. Mary looked beautiful in her reused green Massimo Dutti suit and plain white The Fold London blouse. Nothing can go wrong with a simple button-down and a suit. Especially a colorful one. The green belt was a great detail.

Mary embraced the style with green emerald studs created by Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen and a beloved Nadia Shelbaya necklace. She also wore her custom-made Julie Sandlau necklace featuring her children's initials.

While King Frederik paid a visit to Code of Care, Mary then met with film director and screenwriter Christina Rosendahl who won the Culture Award. Christina showed Mary her workplace and shared about her work on creating a new film.

Mary looked stunning in her white button-down and printed Zimmermann skirt. A true summer outfit! I love the rope belt that comes with the skirt. She beautifully accessorized the casual outfit with golden Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings and a custom-made ring featuring a rose quartz stone.

She wore a couple of bracelets as well. A colorful one from Dulong Fine Jewelry and a golden diamond bangle from Rebekka Notkin. We also get a glimpse of her brown leather sandals from Gianvito Rossi. Her watch is an old one from Cartier.

The couple accompanied each other when visiting Grønne Nabofællesskaber. While Frederik joined the kitchen and helped prepare for a meal, Mary was given a guided tour around one of the community's gardens.

By looking at her outfits I guess the interviews were directed during summertime. Her amazing denim dress is a brand new one from POLO Ralph Lauren. Don't know if I ever thought we would see her wear a dress like this but I love it.

Mary style the denim dream with golden Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings, a beloved golden diamond necklace from Louise Grønlykke and a Rebekka Notkin bangle. The colorful beaded bracelet is a creation by Dulong Fine Jewelry.

Somehow the Ray Ban sunglasses made the perfect statement accessory for this outfit such as the white Adidas sneakers.

Queen Mary attended the presentation of the Christmas Stamp Foundation's annual Christmas Stamp. The presentation took place at Copenagen City Hall.

The Queen is patron of the foundation. The money raised goes to the five Christmas Stamp Homes in Denmark who house more than 1,000 children each year helping them to fight loneliness, social isolation and bullying.

Artist Emilie Melgaard Jacobsen created this year's Christmas Stamp. She names them "Christmas hope and wishing stars". A friendly reminder on how to help children to overcome difficult obstacles.

Mary truly looked magical at the presentation at Copenhagen City Hall. She wore a wonderful bordeaux Alexander McQueen skirt and a matching printed Roberto Cavalli blouse. She has only worn the blouse once in 2020 when presenting the winners of the Media Competition. I kinda missed it. Love the added bordeaux leather belt. Nice detail.

Both the little suede clutch and pointed Gianvito Rossi pumps had the exact same tone of bordeaux to compliment the rest of her outfit. Love when she pair colors like this. Takes quite a few years of experience to style outfits with such perfection.

Mary also embraced the look with new golden earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry, a diamond necklace from Louise Grønlykke and a Cartier watch. A closer look revealed that her bracelets and rings are all created by skilled Dulong Fine Jewelry.

Flag Day 2025

September 05, 2025

King Frederik and Queen Mary attended several events in Copenhagen on occasion of the annual Flag Day. By that they participated the honoring of soldiers who lost their lives in battle and their families.

First the couple attended a ceremony at Kastellet. They paid their respect with a moment of silence and a beautiful wreath placed at the Monument for Denmark's Internal Effort since 1948. After the official ceremony the royal couple attended a church service at Holmens Church. Followed by an official parade of the Danish Armed Forces at Christiansborg.

This event is much more than "the perfect outfit". I want us to stay a moment in silence and share a warm thought with those lost in battle, those soldiers who lost their lives and for those families left behind missing their loved ones.

Mary first wore this set back in 2017 when visiting Japan. Either you like it or you don't. What team are you on? I always liked the vibe but I see why somebody confused it with nightwear. The floral printed set is from Etro. She styled it with black mesh pumps from Gianvito Rossi and a reused glitter clutch from Sergio Rossi. Simply beautiful!

I'm pretty sure many of you noticed the stunning opal necklace. Magnificent, right? I'm 99.9% sure it is a gift from the JAA Opal Sector in 2006. This is its very first public appearance. Mary was gifted a pendant and Frederik received opal cufflinks.

As other jewellery Mary wore a colorful Dulong Fine Jewelry bracelet, a golden Rebekka Notkin cuff and a Cartier watch.

Board meeting with the Mary Foundation

September 03, 2025

Queen Mary hosted a board meeting with the Mary Foundation. The meeting focused on children and young people's leisure and how important this time is for them. How important it is for them to feel safe, learn something new and have fun at the same time.

Questions like these were discussed at the meeting: how can more children and young people become part of leisure activities? How are they meet when showing up - and what makes some to keep a distance to leisure activities.

Mary embraced a stunning and casual look when meeting with board members of the Mary Foundation. Looks like she was wearing a new white blouse and black trousers. I'm very fond of the blouse. The front part looks really interesting.

She accessorized her outfit with chic Gucci glasses. Her beautiful blue bag is a reuse from Paloroa. The braiding technique is dazzling. I guess she would have been wearing black pointed pumps.

As jewellery Mary had chosen a diamond necklace from Louise Grønlykke and a beloved golden watch from Cartier. She also wore a longer necklace. It looks new but I'm still not sure where it is from. Can't wait to identify it.

Day 3. Summer tour with Dannebrog

Læsø

August 27, 2025

King Frederik and Queen Mary have now arrived in Østerby Havn on Læsø. The couple were welcomed with a fine speech given by Mayor Tobias Birch Johansen. Present were representative from the municipal council of Læsø Municipality.

Part of their visit on Læsø was to visit Læsø Saltworks and Læsø Museum. Here they were given a guided tour by museum director Simon Kyhn-Madsen. First they enjoyed a 'nature safari' and lunch at Rønnerne.

I love that she has embraced the colours of September. The colors of Autumn. My favourite time a year. Like how she balanced the warm orange with brown, beige and white. Makes a great match. The stunning linen blazer is from Boglioli. Mary first wore it in December 2022. She also wore a beloved Athé Vanessa Bruno blouse and a chic By Malene Birger midi skirt. Later Mary added a brown knitted jumper (or best) to keep warm and her Scandinavian Edition coat.

She embraced the style with a reused Canopy Bay by Deborah Hutton hat and fine Prada ballet flats. When participating in the nature safari at Rønnerne she changed to a pair of NIKE sneakers. The sunglasses are Ray Ban. I learned the her new crossbody bag is from a brand called Guanabana.

Mary wore jewellery from a number of Danish designers - Dulong Fine Jewelry, Rebekka Notkin and Louise Grønlykke. Her old golden watch is from Cartier.

Afternoon tea

After a long day on Læsø the couple returned to Dannebrog getting ready to host an afternoon tea reception for invited guests from Læsø municipality.

The guests were served sandwiches, strawberry cake, scones, the and tea. The royal couple then have the opportunity to say thank you for their day on Læsø.

Hosting the afternoon reception on Dannebrog Mary wore a reused printed Vilshenko dress. Somehow I always loved this dusty pink floral print with a black background. That is usually not the case for me. We do not that that many photos of her from the event but I guess she would be wearing black suede pumps or soft rose pumps.

As jewellery Mary had chosen diamond earrings from Sophie Bille Brahe, her elegant Louise Grønlykke necklace and bracelet from Dulong Fine Jewelry and Rebekka Notkin. Hair and makeup were also spot on!

Day 1. Summer tour with Dannebrog

Frederikshavn

August 25, 2025

Arrival in Sæby

King Frederik and Queen Mary are once again on a summer tour around Denmark traveling with Dannebrog. Last year the couple visited Bornholm, Ærø, Assens and Vejle. This year they will be visiting Frederikhavn, Thisted, Læsø and Samsø. The tour will last from August 25th to 28th.

On Tuesday the King and Queen arrived in Sæby and was warmly welcomed by Mayor of Frederikshavn Karsten Thomsen. They were officially welcomed with a service in Sæby church. Then followed a visit at Sæby Glassblowing and a walk in the city of Sæby.

Around noon they enjoyed lunch at Skovhuset in Bangsboskoven. Skovhuset worked as home of the the forester's for about 250 years. Today it is a gathering place for teaching, meeting rooms and nature events.

I love the idea of a ruffle blouse, a plain midi skirt and a short jacket. Somehow I am not quite sure I think it worked out as intended. Personally I would have chosen another jacket with the skirt or another skirt for the jacket. What do you think?

Nevertheless, I am thrilled to see her wear the blue Prada jacket again. We haven't seen it since 2013 when Mary attended the CHIO Equestrian  Festival in Düsseldorf. Imagine if she had worn it is a matching set when arriving in Sæby! She embraced it with a reused Athé Vanessa Bruno blouse and a unidentified dark blue midi skirt.

Mary styled the outfit with a beautiful hairband purchased from Miss Haidee Millinery and a lovely raffia clutch. The brown Gianvito Rossi heeled sandals were a great choice to enhance the beauty of the other brown accessories. When having lunch at Skovhuset Mary switched to a pair of Prada flats. The sunglasses are from Ray Ban.

She wore white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry, a necklace by Louise Grønlykke and bracelets from both Dulong Fine Jewelry and Rebekka Notkin. I am still very interested in learning about her three-part diamond ring. The watch is Cartier.

Visiting Råbjerg Mile

In the afternoon the couple changed clothes and went for a visit at Råbjerg Mile - a very unique sandy area located between Frederikshavn and Skagen. The sand is moving around 15 meters a year. The royal couple were given a guided round by the Junior Ragere which is an initiative by Frederikshavn municipality to educate young people in the age of 11-13 as junior nature guides.

They also paid a visit at Ancher's House and visited Grenen. Grenen is Denmark's northernmost point. It is where the two ocean's Kattegat and Skagerrak meet.

What is better than a good old casual outfit? I truly love Mary's casual looks. Like the one she wore when visiting Råbjerg Mile. She paired a pair of soft linen short with a simple white button-down blouse and dark knitted jumper. Non of the items have yet been identified.

Her accessories are Ray Ban sunglasses, a golden Cartier watch and chic NIKE sneakers. Mary chose the same jewellery as earlier that day: stunning white pearl earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry, a diamond necklace from Louise Grønlykke and bracelets from Dulong Fine Jewelry and Rebekka Notkin.

Reception at Dannebrog

After a long day the King and Queen hosted a reception at Dannebrog for invited guests from among others Frederikshavn municipality. Dannebrog was docked at Gl. Pier Skagen Harbour. It was a magical evening with fireworks and warm greetings from everyone in Frederikshavn municipality.

I am not sure I have words enough to describe how much I adore Mary's new Vilshenko dress! It is the most magnificent piece of clothes I have seen in a very long time. The colors are exquisite and the print is dazzling. Love how she matched the red floral print with brand new red earrings. Any ideas where they are from? She first wore them in 2012 at a private birthday celebration at Klampenborg and then again when visiting Chile in 2013.

Her other jewellery are bracelets from Dulong Fine Jewelry and Rebekka Notkin. Simple is everything because of the printed dress. Perfect as she is Mary matched the dress with red suede pumps from Gianvito Rossi.

They are accompanied by Prince Gustav and his wife Princess Carina and their two children - Mafalda and Gustav Albrecht.

Queen Margrethe, Princess Benedikte and Queen Anne Marie have also enjoyed the summer in Gråsten.

Mary looked great in her brand new dotted WEILL dress! The first thing I noticed about the dress is the square neckline. It is not for everyone. We rarely see Mary wear such a neckline but I really like it. The dress is summery and chic.

Love how she matched the brown dots with her stunning reused brown leather sandals from Gianvito Rossi. Makes a wonderful addition to the outfits. Mary has worn these heeled sandals quite a few times at both formal and more private events.

She also embraced the style by wearing golden earrings from Dulong Fine Jewelry and an all new colorful bracelet from the same designer. Louise Grønlykke is the master behind Mary's beautiful necklace. The other golden bracelet is from another talented Danish designer: Rebekka Notkin. Her golden Cartier watch has been part of her wardrobe for many (many) years.

Summer at Gråsten castle

July 28, 2025

According to several media's the royal family have spend time at the family chateau in France during the summer. On Tuesday King Frederik and Queen Mary moved in at Gråsten castle in Gråsten to spend the rest of their holiday along with Queen Margrethe and her two sister's.

The couple were warmly welcomed by Sønderborg municipality and its citizens. Princess Isabella and Prince Vincent joined their parents.

Maybe you recall having seen this outfit not long ago? You are right. Mary wore the same old linen blazer from Ralph Lauren and new printed ME+EM dress on her second day in Nigeria on June 25th. I know we all like when she is wearing new pieces or simply reuse pieces in different ways, but I am also quite in love with her repeating outfits like in arriving to Gråsten.

These sling-back kitten heels will never be my favorite style in shoes. I really like the texture of her new ones from Gianvito Rossi. The woven brown leather is beautifully made. I do like that she matched the shoes with that brow leather belt from Max Mara. Makes the look complete on a whole other level.

Mary also embraced the style by wearing stunning Dulong Fine Jewelry earrings and a couple of bracelets from the same talented designer. Her third golden bangle is studded with diamonds and are from Rebekka Notkin. I see an Ole Lynggaard Copenhagen diamond ring as well. The Cartier watch was a lovely addition.

19 April 2025

On April 21st Princess Isabella celebrate her 18th birthday. On that occasion her parents have shared a few photos of the Princess from their private photoalbum. Memories of her time with her family, grandparents, vacations, birthdays, etc. Wonderful glimpses of the like of a Danish Princess. Many of the photos have never been seen before.

I'd really like to share a little style info with you as well but I am not quite sure how it turned out. If you have questions about a specific outfit then let me know and I will do my best.
